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
Ashlye
Ira was amazing at playing with my cat and wearing him out during the visits. Ira was also really great at following all my requests and was even able to give my cat his pills with no problems!
Holly
Ira watched our very shy elderly kitty for a few days while we were out of town. She did a wonderful job and is very responsive and detail-oriented!
Kayleigh
Ira was amazing with our kitties and took great care of them while we were out of town for the day! Ira was very responsive, organized, and sent us lots of wonderful updates with pictures. Would highly recommend booking with them! 😊

Ira visited my cat a couple of times while I was out of country. my cat is shy and not the easiest with new people, and she did a great job caring for him and showing him love.
Grifin
This was our first time using a cat sitter, and Ira did a fantastic job. We were going to be leaving our two older cats for the first time in 3 years, and I was very concerned about how they’d handle the separation. Ira put us at ease on our initial visit because I could tell that even our shy kitty would warm up to Ira. All of our communication was great and Ira went above and beyond when our cats decided to leave daily messes (sorry, Ira!). I would 100% recommend Ira and we will definitely reach out again in the future!

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 $36.00. 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.
