I'm Ira | Cat Sitting in New York, NY
Cats are amazing. Wonderful and charming animals with loads of personality. I used to have cats since I was a kid. I have 2 beautiful kitties of my own now and we live in peace and harmony and learn tricks when they feel like it. I am an engineer by day and video gamer by night. I would be glad to look after...
Ira's Reviews
Lauren
Ira was so great with my scaredy cat Scout! She got Scout to come out and yell at her (respectfully!) for treats and pets which is something my cat has never done for any other person besides myself. I will definitely be requesting Ira again for any future catsitting needs.
Scarlett
Another great booking with Ira — so grateful to have the peace of mind that her excellent care for my kitties provides.
Samer
Ira was very sweet with Zara! She’s become Zara and my favorite cat sitter!
Dylan
Ira was such an amazing sitter for my shy boy Simon! So professional, communicative and kind - I’m so incredibly appreciative and will definitely be using Ira again in the future!! thank you so much 🥰
Madelyn
Ira is a wonderful cat sitter! I was so nervous leaving my senior baby, but Ira calmed my anxiety immensely! My sassy girl even let her pet her stomach (a very large feat)! She was wonderful at sending updates, and getting my kitty to take her meds. I would reccomend Ira over and over again!

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 $33.00. 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.
