I started cat sitting because I missed my three cats back at home. I’ve been cat sitting through meowtel for about three years now! I’m currently a graduate student at Hunter college and I also work as an Afterschool art teacher.

I started cat sitting because I missed my three cats back at home. I’ve been cat sitting through meowtel for about three years now! I’m currently a graduate student at Hunter college and I also work as an Afterschool art teacher.

In a typical visit I will refresh your cats food and water, clean their litter, play with them, and give them pets. I can also help with any medications if necessary, I have experience giving both topical and oral medication. I always send an update with pictures or videos during each visit to let you know how your cats are doing!

I offer free meet and greets in person or virtually so I can get to know your cats and go over anything important I'll need to know. Feel free to message me with any questions!

I was away during the recent blizzard and Emma was fantastic! She left extra food and water in case she wouldn’t be able to visit during the height of the storm and even worked with me when my flight back to the city was delayed to ensure my kitties had everything they needed until I could make it home. My cats love her and I can’t recommend enough!

Emma has the magic shy cat touch, like something out of ancient feline lore! BACKGROUND: My cat was about to get an automatic feeder because she burrows under the bed for every single sitter. While she does love her under-bed cave, she's normally chatty and playful during business hours. VISITS: Enter Emma! My pensive fluff came out from her lair each visit, played, gave head butts, floofed up her tail, and even rolled around showing Emma her belly! Emma totally understood her quirks and gave her the space to warm up. I'm so relieved I found someone my cat really enjoys seeing!

Emma did absolutely amazing with my two kitties and kept me updated all the way through! one of my cats knocked over their food container and she made sure to clean it up and put it back in a safe place. When I came home my kitties looked so happy and well taken care of. Will definitely be booking her again :).

Emma is my go-to sitter whenever I need kitty care and I can’t recommend her enough! My kitties LOVE her - even my shy kitty comes out to greet her during visits - and I never have to worry about how they’re doing when Emma’s caring for them. She always provides amazing photos/videos and updates and is quick to adapt to any care changes I throw her way. 10/10 recommend 😸

Emma was incredible with my cat Pebble! She is normally so shy with strangers, but Emma told me Pebble felt super comfortable around her and was playing with her for the whole visit :) She sent me photos / videos which gave me lots of comfort while I was away. Would highly recommend for your pets!

Emma is a wonderful sitter. When she came for the meet and greet she was asking questions and listening very attentively. She is also just a nice, friendly person! When I told her my cats aren't fun to cat sit because they hide the whole time she replied ' thats okay, all cats need to be taken care of " that just tells me how much she cares! She was very quick on responding, sent thorough updates and pics after her visits. Plus, she left everything very clean. I will definitely book her again!

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!
