I'm Cate | Cat Sitting in New York, NY
Hello Manhattan-Only Cat Parents! I'm Cate, and have been a cat parent for over 20+ years. I love all animals, but cats and kittens have a special place in my heart. As a cat sitter, I've been able to give great chin rubs to the shy, clip the nails of the spiciest, clean the litter box of the worst, brush out a mat or two, and even given insulin shots to a diabetic senior. I respect a family's home with an English butler's discretion, and each kitty is their own mini-lion that is to be treated like a royal. I look forward to cat sitting your sweet, shy, frisky, silly or sassy purr baby! I'm happy to administer: Topical ointments/flea prevention, eye and ear drops, pills, insulin injections. I've done most of these procedures for my own cats. I am not "...
Cate's Reviews
Amanda
So so wonderful and took wonderful care of my aging cat who needs a lot of attention and pets.
Amy
Cate is just so kind and lovely, and my Lulu was shockingly so not mad at me when I came home which I credit 100% to Cate!
Fiona
Cate was fantastic and truly went above and beyond for my kitty. She followed all given instructions to a T and was so wonderful to coordinate with. I truly cannot recommend her enough, and I would love to rebook with her in the future! Thank you so much Cate!!!
Jacqueline
Cate was absolutely amazing! She went way above and beyond, especially taking care of my cats when there was a toxic paint odor and connecting with my super to get fans in the apt so they could breathe better. I returned home to a clean apt and happy cats! She has completely spoiled me and I will be VERY reluctant to use anyone but her!
La Verna
Cate was fantastic with our shy kitties. This was our first experience and we will definitely want her to look after our girls in the future. All cats deserve a Cate.

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 $34.00. 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.
