I'm Farah
Cat Sitting in New York, NY
10 years ago I convinced my mom to adopt our family cat, Genghis Khan. Since then I’ve adopted my own Siamese, Sasha, who is now 6 years old and truly my whole world.
Cats have always held a special place in my heart. They can sense my comfort and calm around them, which naturally makes them gravitate toward me.
I’m a loving, caring, organized, and responsible person with a flexible schedule. I’m fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and up to date on boosters... I’m a huge cat lover!

I’m a loving, caring, organized, and responsible person with a flexible schedule. I’m fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and up to date on boosters. I’ll follow any instructions or guidelines you provide, whether that’s mask wearing, handwashing, or sanitizing after visits.
I’m also very personable and communicative, and I take pride in being reliable and neat. You’ll never have to worry about a mess being left behind because I prioritize safety and cleanliness as much as I prioritize your cat’s happiness.
When caring for your cat, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained. From playtime and cuddles to attentive watch over your home, you can trust that I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own!!
Learn More About Farah
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes! I have a Siamese kitty named Sasha. She is my best girlfriend 🥰
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I give them space to warm up to my presence and scent. I remain calm and gentle and don't make sudden movements or create loud sounds. When they begin to approach me I do the famous "Michaelango" hand move so they can sniff me and often times, cats will nudge their head into my palm. I often get called the cat whisperer lol

Farah was amazing with my 2 cats! I have an older guy and a very apprehensive 1 year old. She sent the cutest pics and videos. She was also able to get Poof to let her pet her and I can’t even do that! The Poof whisperer. The cats were well taken care of as was the liter and overall cleanliness. She also took this job super last minute 🙏🏽. My new go-to!

Thank you Gina😊It was such a joy!! I’m honored to have earned Poof’s trust — that meant the world. Thank you for trusting me with your babies on such short notice. I’d be happy to help again anytime!❤️

This was our third time having Farah watch our Frank and she is an amazing, caring cat sitter. She was prompt with updates and very easy to communicate with, especially helpful when our travel plans changed last minute. Frank can eat less when someone unfamiliar watches him, but that wasn’t an issue at all this time, which shows how comfortable he is with her. We always feel at ease knowing Farah is caring for him!

I am soo appreciative for Farah! Super reponsive and communicative. I had the annoying task of 5 kitty litters that needed scooping! She took care of that, even swept up the floor for me! Refilled the water bowls and gave them each a can of wet food. I hate leaving my babies behind for long periods of time, but Farah brought them happiness and joy that they needed soo badly! Thank you SOO much!!!🫶🏻💞

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.

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!
