COVID-19, etc safety info: I still offer virtual meet and greets and contactless key exchanges if desired. Or masked meet and greets, just ask. If you do not have a doorman, I highly recommend a key lock box attached to your outside railing for repeat visits. I have received both initial doses of the Pfizer vaccine, and am up to date on all recommended vaccines.
Learn More About Myra
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Befriending the shy babies! It's wonderful to see them feel safe and relaxed while their family is away. Trust from a kitty is an honor.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Delphine and Aislinn. I adopted both from the public city shelter, ACC. They are both perfect in their own way. They are quite attached to each other, after a proper introduction.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I always ask about door dashers! Do the kitties have any medical issues, present or past, that I should be aware of to monitor?
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, most often I will be staying in the city. Any significant trips will be planned for in advance and my availability noted on the calendar.
What is your favorite cat toy?
The cat dancer, so simple and many cats just love it. It somewhat mimics the unpredictable movement of small prey.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Respect their boundaries, move slowly and quietly. Talk softly while sitting at a comfortable distance. Place shoes, bag, coat in a place they can approach and sniff. Check with cat parents for tips-are they motivated by treats, play? Do they have favorite music or videos? Do they follow the lead of a bolder sibling?

Myra gets 5+ stars from my kitties and I! I hate being away from Max & Binx but I know they’re in good hands. Myra sends kind and adorable updates when she visits, it’s obvious from the tails in the air that she’s got fans :)

Myra was quick to respond to my booking request and our meet and greet was a success! The kitties and I were comfortable with her right away and I left for my trip feeling like they’d be well taken care of. I got lots of sweet photos and updates each day and I came home to happy cats :) I hope Myra will look after Max & Binx again!

Myra is amazing! My cat needed oral medication via syringe, and Myra was able to administer it in my absence! she also coached me on how to do it myself and was so helpful - I can now do it on my own. Thanks Myra!

Great experience overall for all 3 cats - most amazing was that she got my super shy Calico to come out from under the bed and play!! I'm booking Myra today for our next trip.

Myra did a great job taking care of our cat who can get very stressed. She adapted her routine to her needs and even went above and beyond to find ways to play with her.

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 $29.00. 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!

Once again, Myra was terrific with my kitties! I book Myra regularly - the cats love her and they are so calm when I get home - they know everything will be fine when Myra takes care of them. I love the pictures and updates that Myra sends regularly.

Myra did an amazing job taking care of our cat, Whisper. She sent us updates and pictures every day and promptly brought to our attention any potential issues with our cat. Whisper is not happy when we travel and at our return she always craves for a lot of attention, but this time she was perfectly fine. She got all the attention and care she needed from Myra while we were away, so she was very happy.

My cat took to Myra upon their first meet and greet. She was very respectful while in our home (wore a mask), and sent pictures of our little guy when she came to feed him while we were away. I much appreciated her coming to pick up the keys and facilitating the meet and greet. You can tell she really likes and cares for cats. Highly recommend! Thanks Myra!
Serena

Myra was a wonderful sitter! She provided updates during every visit with photos, and was attentive to all of his needs that we mentioned. Similar to other reviews, we noted that our boy, who is usually extremely clingy after we come home from vacation, was much more chill this time. We know he had his companionship needs met while we were gone! Would definitely book with Myra again.

Myra was amazing with my three kitties - she even had the shy one playing and asking for pets in record time. I appreciated all the pictures and the playtime and snuggles - my kitties were not even that mad at me for going away.

Myra was great! She was incredibly competent and updated us with photos every time she went to check on our 2 kitties while we were away. Our more skittish cat even warmed up to her and so we felt comfortable that they were in good hands. We will likely be using her again!

Myra is a truly awesome catsitter. I’ve booked her several times over the past few months, and now consider her my go-to! She is kind, reliable, and sends great updates about how the cats are doing each and every visit. It is obvious that she takes wonderful care and showers them with attention.
