Cat Sitting in Long Island City, NY

As a cat dad to a 4 y/o domestic shorthair š±, and experienced cat sitter on another app, I have lots of hands-on experience caring for catsā feeding, refreshing water, giving plenty of playing and care. I have always enjoyed cat sitting for my friends and always treat them like my own, adapting to their unique temperaments and needs.
Iām warm, patient, observant, and I follow routines closely (meal times, playtime, and any house guidelines). Iām comfortable with different sizes, energy levels, and quirks of every cat.
I have a flexible job so I can adjust my schedule around your fur babies, making sure they get the care and playtime that they need. Iāll also make sure to keep you updated with photos, videos, and notes to let you know that your fur babies are comfortable and happy while youāre away.
Learn More About Leo
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have done it for 5 years now. I started with friends and family but now am on rover as a professional sitter. I have also fostered many cats before and they have always been able to recover and be adopted.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love that each cat has their own personality and traits. My favourite thing is definitely when they warm up to people and start getting cuddly. I also love that some of them just take some extra time to draw boundaries.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes I have a cat at home and his name is Sox! He loves to be around other cats and dogs and warms up to all quickly.

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 $32.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
