Cat Sitting in New Rochelle, NY

Hello! I’m Amy, a life long cat lover in New Rochelle, NY.

I have over two decades of experience rescuing and caring for cats around the world. Currently I am the proud mama of three amazing rescue kitties who found their way into my heart and home while I was living abroad in West Africa. Every cat that I have been blessed to care for has taught me something new about their distinct purrsonalities and their individual needs. I have had several special needs kitties over the years so I have extensive experience with administering medications and caring for cats with physical disabilities. I will treat your cat with respect and consider their boundaries and feelings during every interaction.

During my visit you can expect me to:
Feed your cat according to your instructions.
Clean and refresh their water bowl.
Clean and refill their litter box/es.
Administer any necessary medications...

Play with your cat as instructed by you (or them!)
Cuddle, if invited to do so 😻
And update you with news and pictures through the Meowtel app.

My schedule is very flexible allowing me the freedom to work easily with your cat’s routine. I live in New Rochelle with close access to public transportation and I also own a car which makes it possible for me to service much of Westchester County, NYC and parts of southern CT. I am COVID vaccinated and thrice boosted and I will comply with all of the safety precautions that you require in your home.

As a fellow cat parent I know how important it is to have someone you can count on to properly care for your beloved fur babies and keep you updated while you are away. I will strive to give you the peace of mind that every cat parent deserves. I am looking forward to meeting you and your kitties!

PLEASE NOTE: I’m not available for midday visits. Unfortunately, the app doesn’t let me remove that option from my availability, so it may still show up when you book—but I’ll need to decline any midday requests. Thanks so much for your understanding!

Amy went above and beyond in caring for our cats. Not only did she provide excellent day-to-day care, but she also handled an unexpected situation with remarkable attentiveness: One of our (four) cats accidentally shut himself into a bedroom without access to food or water, and Amy quickly noticed something was wrong, located him, and made sure that he was safe. This was not an easy situation, and her quick thinking and genuine care made all the difference. It’s clear that Amy treats the animals she cares for as if they were her own. We feel incredibly lucky to have found her and would trust her again without hesitation.

Amy is a gem and we’re so lucky to have found her to care for our fur babies while we were traveling. Her communication is prompt and thorough. This was important and reassuring since one of our cats is diabetic. She takes the best photos of our fur babies during her visits, along with any other items she addressed including administering medication and bringing in packages that were delivered to our house. We highly recommend Amy!

Amy could not have been better. When we were expecting 2’ of snow, I told her to leave extra food and not to come. She came later that evening. Amy spent time cuddling with Fiona every day. She was very flexible when my return flight was canceled. Fiona loves her dearly and only wants her when I can’t be home.

Amy took care of our 18 year old Siberian Maks for 10 days. He requires special care and she allowed us to have a worry free trip with detailed updates and notes. Amy is a top notch and caring cat sitter that I highly recommend.

One of my kitties began to feel sick while I was away. Amy took care of her like she was her own and kept me thoroughly updated on what was happening. I couldn’t be more grateful to know Amy is there for my kitties!

Amy took amazing care of our cat while we were away over the holidays, even navigating a snowstorm to make sure that he was warm and fed. She’s just wonderful—so communicative and helpful.

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.

New Rochelle cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. 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!
