I'm Alia
Cat Sitting in New York, NY
I have cat sat for many friends and family, and I have also fostered cats in the past, when I used to travel for work. I have experience administering medications to cats like pills, eye drops, and ear drops... I love cats more than anything on this planet! I have one cat here in New York with me named Tortilla - we started out fostering her but instantly fell in love with her and adopted her the second we could! She is 11 years old, has one tooth, and is my child! I also have another cat named Sirius, but he is with my mom in California. I miss him every day. I’ve had cats in my life for over 15 years.
I have cat sat for many friends and family, and I have also fostered cats in the past, when I used to travel for work. I have experience administering medications to cats like pills, eye drops, and ear drops. Also, I am currently working part-time jobs where I make my own schedule, so I can accommodate to any specific times that you may need for me to check on your cat baby! There’s nothing that brings me more joy than taking care of our furry friends :)
I am an Actor and a Personal Assistant. I like to hang out with my friends and go to restaurants in my free time! I’m a big music listener and tv watcher, and I love being out in nature.
I live in Washington Heights, so Upper Manhattan is very easy for me to get to, but I can accommodate any location.
If you would like, I can bring in your mail for you, water your plants, or any other household chores that might need taking care of while you’re gone! Also, I am vaccinated and boosted, and will gladly wear a mask in your apartment if that makes you feel more comfortable!

Alia was an amazing cat sitter for our 2 cats while we were out of town for the Holidays. She sent daily videos of playtime and went the extra mile taking care of them and our apartment. Could not recommend her enough, will definitely be booking her again.

Alia was phenomenal and I would recommend her to any other cat parents out there. I have a very medically complex bunch and she handled them so well. She sent much-appreciated videos and updates every visit. I always felt at ease knowing my babies were being so lovingly and professionally taken care of. I cannot thank you enough, Alia!

Alia did a wonderful job caring for our two elderly cats while we were away! One of our cats had recently had a stroke, and this was the first time we were leaving him with a sitter after it happened. Alia was so great, she provided regular updates while we were away so we had peace of mind, administered their (many) medications, and sent us lots of pictures so we knew they were happy and safe while we were away. Highly recommended!

I love Alia! She is a cat owner's dream. Prior to cat-sitting for me, she and I met at my home. I read her demeanor as confident and competent. I wasn't disappointed. For the three days she watched my lovely cat AT, she kept me abreast of his care, which was comforting to me. And she cleaned up a box AT had turned over! I like Alia and would (and plan to) hire her again. You should too!

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.

All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.
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 $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 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!

Alia is a godsend! I travel a lot and hiring Alia is like asking a friend who already knows and loves your cat to provide essential care while you're traveling. I can rest easy knowing that she's taking care of my loved one. If you're looking for someone responsible and caring, I highly recommend Alia!

I am BEYOND pleased with everything Alia did for me and my cats while I was away for a weekend trip. My apartment looks great, my cats are happy, and I felt 100% confident in her ability to care for my 2 cats. It really allowed me to relax and enjoy my time away. I will absolutely be booking again!
