I'm Sydnee

Cat Sitting in New York, NY

Hi everyone! My name is Sydnee and am so excited to look after your furbabies. I have two cats of my own currently who are named Clementine (Clem/Clemmy) and Crouton (Crutney/Crustacean). I have had 5 other family cats as well and 3 of them (Boba, Chia, and Kiwi) live at home in Arizona with my mom and sister. I have always been an animal lover and I treat my cats as if they were my literal children. I am very patient with cats and feel like I have a deep understanding of them no matter their unique personalities and quirks. All of my cats have each been so different and it’s been such a fun journey to find how to best show my love and connect with them. My family and friends always laugh since I try to befriend all the birds, squirrels, and even bees when we are outside... Hi everyone!

I am very patient with cats and feel like I have a deep understanding of them no matter their unique personalities and quirks. All of my cats have each been so different and it’s been such a fun journey to find how to best show my love and connect with them. My family and friends always laugh since I try to befriend all the birds, squirrels, and even bees when we are outside. My cats definitely are my emotional support animals (even though they don’t act like it sometimes) so I love spending time with any and all animals to make them feel loved the same way they do for me.

For more about me, I recently moved to NYC after graduating college in AZ. I am currently in grad school, pursuing a master’s degree in speech pathology. I plan to specialize in stuttering, since I have had a stutter of my own for 15 years. I live in uptown Manhattan, but do not mind traveling wherever you reside. I have taken care of my cats when they have experienced medical issues and needed medication administered, so I am comfortable doing this for your cats during my visits. I am open to learning any ways to best support your cats if this is something you are comfortable with instructing me on. I am pretty flexible in my schedule and great at communicating with cats and humans alike, so I hope you will consider me as your next cat sitter! :)

Learn More About Sydnee

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been a cat mom for about 10 years, so I am well versed in cat care taking and feel confident in my abilities to cat sit until you return home. Outside of catsitting for family/friends, I’ve been catsitting professionally while I’ve been enrolled in grad school! It’s been a great gig to have and brightens my day to be able to hang out with so many cats in my free time :)

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting the chance to meet other cats and help you out in those times you need to travel. I know the anxiety that comes with leaving your cats at home and needing to know that you have a trustworthy person to look after your cats while you’re gone. It gives me purpose to feel like I am helping bring some comfort to you and your cats in those moments that I would want for myself as well when in need of a cat sitter. I also just have a big heart and my cats don’t always want all of the love I am trying to show them. I thought it would be a great thing to give the love I have leftover to other kitties who are feeling nervous and need to be loved up temporarily until you return home.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Almost all of my cats have been timid or anxious, so I have a lot of experience learning their love language and how to create a safe space for cats. It’s important for me to know their favorite toys, treats, and ways they exist when around you so that I can try to recreate the stability they feel in these moments. If anything else, I respect your cat’s boundaries and am good at reading when they need a little more time to warm up to me or when they just want to do their own thing.

Sydnee was a fantastic sitter! Our cat loved the attention he got - plenty of playing, stimulation and snuggles! She administered two medications daily and kept us abreast with regular photos of videos. I would re-book for sure!

I am so lucky to have found Sydnee on Meowtel! Sydnee is the perfect cat sitter, sending plenty of videos and photos throughout each stay so that I am super in the loop and never feel worried or that I have to reach out first. Every time Sydnee has looked after Raymond, I've come home to a happy, calm, well fed cat.

Sydnee was so great with my fur babies she treated them as if they were her own she provided love and attention to all 5 cats and she made me happy knowing that someone was treating them like I would if I was home she gave me daily updates via photos and video I would recommend her to anyone who wants someone to treat their pets like family she went above and beyond and I would definitely use her as a cat sitter again. I would give 10 stars if I could she was that great

This was the 2nd time Sydnee watched Juno for me and I couldn’t be happier! She provided daily updates and photos and I came home to a clean apartment, watered plants, and a happy kitty! 10/10 would recommend.

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 York cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
