Cat Sitting in Long Island City, NY
A cat lover based out of Queens, I’ve been around and looking after cats my whole life. As someone who didn’t own a cat myself until a few years ago (but always wanted one!), I’ve learned the secrets to making friends with cats in a short period of time.
As a cat lover, I understand the care and patience needed to earn a cat’s trust, and I approach each new feline friend with respect, compassion, and calm. If I had a spirit animal, I think it’d be a cat 🐈... Hi, I’m Andrew!
A cat lover based out of Queens, I’ve been around and looking after cats my whole life. As someone who didn’t own a cat myself until a few years ago (but always wanted one!), I’ve learned the secrets to making friends with cats in a short period of time.
As a cat lover, I understand the care and patience needed to earn a cat’s trust, and I approach each new feline friend with respect, compassion, and calm. If I had a spirit animal, I think it’d be a cat 🐈
As a reliable sitter, I make sure every cat I care for has their needs met, and that they feel safe and comfortable around me. I’m very experienced in feeding, playtime, litter scooping, brushing, and handling multi-pet homes.
As someone who’s needed a sitter for my own cat before, I understand all the concerns that come with it. I’m fully insured through Pet Sitters Associates, so rest assured knowing that I’ll respect your home and that your cat will be in good hands!
Learn More About Andrew
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Meeting new cats! As someone who didn’t have my own cat until a few years ago, I grew up only around my friends and family’s cats. I’ve found that each cat has its own personality and things that make it unique. Once you unlock that part of a cat, it’s like making a new friend!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have a cat named Phoenix! I got her just over 2 years ago, and she is the cutest orange cat around. She was actually quite shy and timid at first, as she had been abandoned by her previous owners. It definitely took some work to build her trust, but over time we bonded quite well, and it’s been incredibly rewarding to see her grow from a shy young cat to a confident lady. Some days she’s a little too confident!
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I like to meet with a new parent before I begin sitting, either in person or virtually. It always helps to know if there are any specific instructions or things to know about the cat or the care, as well as to answer any questions or address any concerns a parent might have. As an added bonus, I like to meet the cat as well, although that may not always happen with shy ones. As a cat parent myself, I understand that sometimes getting a cat sitter is simply for peace of mind more than anything, and I do everything I can to make sure you feel as comfortable as possible.

Andrew was fantastic when it came to taking care of my cat, Jupiter! He was great about following care instructions and communicating how things were going which gave me peace of mind. Jupiter can be wary of new people and Andrew was patient giving her the time and space she needed to start to get to know him and feel comfortable.

Andrew was a great cat sitter for my two cats. He spent time playing with them, made sure they were well fed, and even gave them treats, which they loved. I really appreciated the regular photo updates—it gave me peace of mind while I was away. My cats were comfortable and happy in his care. I would definitely recommend Andrew to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Long Island City cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.
Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!

I recommend Andrew as a cat sitter. The meet & greet went well, and the visits all went smoothly. I returned from a 4-day trip to no messes and, most importantly, a content kitty.

Andrew has an experienced track record of caring for cats. He's extremely friendly and patient with them especially since he has his own cat. I have seen the way Andrew interacts with cats and its evident and that he has the utmost respect and empathy with them. I can't think of anyone else that I would rather trust my cat with than Andrew.
