I'm Abby | Cat Sitting in New York, NY
Hi there! My name is Abby. I have two cats, George and Candy, who were both rescues. George (the black and white one) was feral and seeing him grow into a sweet, cuddly boy has been such a blessing in my life. Candy (the brown tabby) is a ball of energy and is never without the "zoomies." They have such different personalities, but they are the best of friends. I’m currently a graduate student, so this sometimes leaves me available at odd hours outside of your typical 9-5. I enjoy cat sitting because it’s honestly just so much fun to hang out with such adorable little creatures. It breaks up the monotony of my research, work, and classes. I am a qualitative researcher, and am...
Abby's Reviews
Ronnie
Abby was able to meet my very shy cat while I was away. Impressive, as she only comes out for very few humans.
Betsy
Abby is great ! Easy to communicate with , responsive, great updates and kitty loves her.
Ronnie
Abby is very communicative and extremely reliable.
Ronnie
Really loved Abby. Very communicative and understanding. Not phased by shy kittens and coming to a new location sight unseen. She shined compared to previous sitters who actually did a visit before my trip. Would highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
New York cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $35.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
