Yuriy has been my goto cat sitter many times and he's amazing. During my recent vacation, Yuriy noticed my boys had an ear infection. Yuriy took samples of the discharge and examined them. He went above and beyond to get us the cleaning solution and that helped with the irritation. Would definitely recommend Yuriy!

We are repeat clients of Yuri and have had an amazing experience every time! Our cat can be very difficult, and he really makes the effort to be extra understanding with her. 100% recommend!

Yuriy is my go-to sitter. He took care of my cats for 2 weeks during my vacation. He is very attentive and provides detailed summaries on every visit. He goes extra length to make sure the temperature is set properly and the litterbox area is clean. Would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Yuriy is a polite and respectful cat sitter who took great care of my shy kitty when I had to travel for 2 weeks. He was able to quickly put my cat at ease and took meticulous care to ensure that she was safe, well-fed and happy. I could tell that they got along very well and my cat totally looked forward to his daily visits. Yuriy dutifully gave me detailed updates everyday, complete with pictures and videos, and was always accommodating with special requests. Truly, he is a cat-whisperer and you won’t go wrong engaging him. Thanks Yuriy for taking such good care of Yuzu!

Yuriy is always so attentive to our little buddy's needs, and very meticulous with the details of both his standard daily care and his oral medication. We also really appreciate his detailed updates and visit recaps. We feel so much better traveling when we know Yuriy is on the case!

Yuriy did a terrific job caring for our senior diabetic cat, Shadow! I reached out to him needing 3 days worth of visits and he was immediately responsive. We set up a meet and greet for the day before our departure so that him and Shadow could become acquainted and so that I could give Yuriy a run down of everything/give apartment keys. Shadow requires insulin every 12 hours via needle during feeding and Yuriy did a wonderful job. We looked forward to his lengthy, detailed texts including photos and videos describing everything he did with Shadow: fed, injected, brushed, scooped litter box, cleaned up, and played. Shadow absolutely has a new friend and I will call upon Yuriy again - He is very professional, trust worthy & a true cat lover!!!

We could not ask for a more caring and detail-oriented cat-sitter than Yuriy. He followed our instructions to the letter when it came to feeding and medicating our kitty, who is on a special IBS diet and medicine regime. And he kept us involved in the process by checking in daily about Fitz's appetite and bowel movements, sending adorable pictures and videos along the way. This was Yuriy's third time taking care of Fitz, and it's clear that Fitz was very happy to spend time with Yuriy, who is always gentle and playful with him. We definitely hope to book Yuriy again in the future.

As expected, Yuriy has exceeded any expectations! He sent over all detailed reports and pictures after each visit and we were so at peace knowing our kitties were in good hands. Our shy boy opened up to him at record pace! Highly recommend Yuriy as always.

We booked Yuriy for a period of a little over a week, primarily to administer liquid medication to our little buddy Fitz while one of us was traveling (since we struggle to medicate him by ourselves). He was incredibly professional throughout the entire experience and was attentive to Fitz’s needs. Since I was still around, he was very communicative about when he would be coming by (so we never took each other by surprise). On the occasions where I was at home during his visits, he even allowed me to observe the medication administration while providing helpful tips. Yuriy is an absolute class act – We love working with him and hope to book him again soon.

Yuriy is an AMAZING sitter!!! I cannot recommend him enough! I have a very sassy cat and he is so good with her, letting everything happen on her terms and she quickly warms up. He provides thorough updates and amazing pictures. I know my baby is in good hands when he is watching her.

Yuriy is the absolute best! Incredibly thorough and professional, he graciously minded the unique needs of our little monster kitty - which included daily administration of oral medication, among many other things. It was clear that our 9 yr old tabby grew very comfortable with Yuriy during their visits, which he recapped in detail to us daily along with photos and videos. He absolutely went above & beyond in not only entertaining Fitz, but also ensuring his comfort. Yuriy also put a lot of effort into the daily photos; he sent us some of the best snaps we've EVER seen of our kitty bud, including a few lovely portraits. I'm so happy we found Yuriy ... He really took the stress out of leaving our little furball behind. We hope to have the pleasure of booking him again soon.

Yuriy is a DREAM come true when it comes to cat-sitting. I had to suddenly leave town to deal with an urgent matter on the other side of the country and Yuriy was reassuring and thorough in his meet and greet. His write-ups, photos, and videos were detailed and lovely and helped take the sting out of missing my beloved cat because I knew she was in excellent hands. I came home to a happy, satisfied kitty after being away for six days. I cannot recommend Yuriy enough if you want a knowledgeable, communicative cat-sitter who clearly loves cats and will make yours feel loved in your absence.

Yuriy was fantastic! I had a sphynx with FIP that needed daily subcutaneous injection. Yuriy took care of him very well. On the day of visit he gave very detailed updates and made sure my worries were addressed. He even went above and beyond to make sure my cat was warm. I would highly recommend Yuriy!

Yuriy has been excellent with communication and details. I received multiple pictures of my cat playing and relaxing. he took the time to play with him, cuddle him. I am very happy with the service that Yuriy did in my absence. It made my trips away from home so much relaxing as I know my cat was perfectly taking care for. I definitely will recontact Yuriy for my next trip. I will definitely recommend Yuriy to anyone who asked. Thank you very much! Amalie

Yuriy was a fantastic sitter. I have two cats, one of which is diabetic. The diabetic cat requires insulin shots twice daily, which Yuriy handled extremely well. Yuriy was responsive, responsible, and very detail oriented. It's hard to find sitters that can deal with my cat's special medical requirements as well as the behavioral issues that come with it. I can't recommend Yuriy highly enough!

Yuriy was great. He was reliable and very thorough during his visits with my cat, even pointing out a potential health concern and offering to bring toys to try and keep my cat entertained (she’s not typically the playful type). Highly recommend!

Yuriy was beyond perfect. From the day of meeting my cat, i was super impressed with his passion for cats and attention to detail. I was away for 4 days and Yuriy kept every single point in check and continously sent me photos, videos and poop/pee details of my cat Berry. He teeated Berry as his own cat! i cannot recommend him enough. Every single instruction was followed to perfection and even more. His humble attitiude and love for animals makes him the perfect cat sitter!

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 $32.00. 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.
