Delaney's Delightful Cat Sitting

Cat Sitting in New York, NY

I’m a lifelong animal lover and local cat lady who is attuned to the personality nuances that only our feline friends exhibit and passionate about caring for all of their needs! After saying goodbye to my beloved furchild of 18 years last year, I’m hoping to fill the void in my heart with headbutts and scritches and fill my camera roll with glamour shots of all my cat friends.

I have extensive experience administering medications and caring for cats with complex medical needs. My own cat required daily subcutaneous fluids, pills, and topical medications due to kidney disease and severe atopic dermatitis...
I’m a lifelong animal lover and local cat lady who is attuned to the personality nuances that only our feline friends exhibit and passionate about caring for all of their needs! After saying goodbye to my beloved furchild of 18 years last year, I’m hoping to fill the void in my heart with headbutts and scritches and fill my camera roll with glamour shots of all my cat friends.

I have extensive experience administering medications and caring for cats with complex medical needs. My own cat required daily subcutaneous fluids, pills, and topical medications due to kidney disease and severe atopic dermatitis. I’ve also cared for cats discharged from the hospital who required esophagostomy tubes (e-tubes) and 10+ medication regimens, including eye medications.

Food (wet or dry), fresh water, and daily litter scooping are a given. And whether your cat needs a high-energy playmate or a craniofacial masseuse, I tailor my care to their needs and my communication to your preferences. My goal is to make sure both you and your cat feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away.

Additionally, I understand that for most of us, cat sitting means more than just taking care of your fur baby - I am happy to pick up mail/packages, water plants, take out garbage, swift floors or perform any other household maintenance duties while you are out of town!

By day I work in the financial sector but have plenty of free time in the evenings, on weekends and most holidays.

I am fully vaccinated and would be happy to wear a mask if my clients would prefer.

Delaney was an absolutely amazing caretaker of our cat-child Jasmine while we went out of town for the holidays. Jasmine gets sick frequently and has a particular routine, but not only was Delaney very thorough in her initial meeting with us but was very careful and attentive to Jasmine’s needs. We absolutely loved the photos and videos we received of Jasmine throughout; it helped make being gone from her so long easier! Jasmine clearly had a wonderful time with Delaney and opened up to her as the days went on, and with how much kindness and care she put into caring for our cat, I absolutely see why. She also took care of cleaning Jasmine’s food and litter areas so well, and even brought up a week’s worth of packages and took out our trash and recycling, clearly going above and beyond at every turn. I will definitely be returning to Delaney for future cat-sitting needs!

Delaney was an excellent cat sitter for our two kitties. She gave them both individualized attention, sent lots of helpful updates, and administered medication to one of our cats. She was extremely helpful and I would hire her again in an instant!

Delaney is... reliable, conscientious, friendly, prompt and has a great kitty sense. My cat can be aloof with new friends, and Delaney drew him out and had him playing with her on the first visit. Not easy!! Looking forward to having Delaney visit with Sebastian again. Highly recommend.

I highly recommend Delaney as a cat sitter. She sends very detailed updates with photos and videos showing food bowls, litter box, playtime, treats, brushing, etc. She also took some silly and beautiful photos of our Ragdoll Stella. She is quick to respond, dependable, detail oriented, and very caring.

i truly had the best experience with delaney while i was away for 10 days and needed someone to watch over my senior man! she was amazing and during our first meeting, she took detailed notes about sylvester and what needed to be done while we were away. when we were gone, she sent several photos and videos per day (including ones of the cleaned litter/refreshed food and water!!). i truly felt so at ease and knew he was being well taken care of. i would absolutely hire delaney again and would recommend her to any of my family and friends who are in need of a sitter!

Delaney was excellent. Super-responsive and responsible. My cat is old -- 19+ -- and I selected Delaney because she has an older cat herself. In the past, I've been nervous to leave my cat for even shorter periods given her age, worried that if something went wrong, or a meal got missed, it could have bad consequences. Delaney came over to meet my cat on short notice and I felt at ease, as it was clear she was professional and detail oriented. Then she even re-arranged her schedule to make sure my cat got fed at the time that was best for her. The updates were great and let me know my cat was doing well. I would definitely recommend Delaney to others!

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!
