Learn More About Ivy

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love using my knowledge as a fellow cat owner to be able to extend my care to other kitties in the city and foster relationships within the cat parent community.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one 3 year old cat named Sal. She is a sassy princess, and I am just her servant. According to her, more cat sitting = more churus for Sal.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I will schedule an introductory meet and greet so that I can get to understand your cat’s unique needs and any specific requests to make sure your cat is comfortable and happy during my visits.

Ivy was an excellent sitter and worked super well with us to make sure our lovely, but very particular, cat’s care was followed while we were away. Our cat did super well with her!

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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
