Cat Sitting in New York, NY

I have been looking after cats for 20 years. I have sat kitties in the UK, Australia, France and the US! I have worked with fosters via Cats Protection UK & Animal Welfare League Queensland in Oz. I am also an active foster carer (Best Friends Resue - SOHO) of older senior cats - who often have upper respiratory infections to clear - before they leave for their forever families ❤️. I have helped over 30 kitties. Been sitting in NYC for 4 years now and as well as fostering have owned large breed cats and rescues over the years... I have been looking after cats for 20 years.

I have helped over 30 kitties. Been sitting in NYC for 4 years now and as well as fostering have owned large breed cats and rescues over the years. I am a part of the ‘global cat distribution system’ IYKYK ! I am very experienced in:
giving medications (oral pills, oral liquids, ear drops, topical creams after surgery)
sitting for a multi-cat household, including food separation, different feeding times and easing feeding tension when introducing new kitties to established cat households,
grooming long - haired kitties (like Maine Coons!) including trimming nails
caring for sensitive and or anxious, and senior cats with special needs
caring for sensitive eaters with specific dietary needs ( including adding measured liquid vitamins &, coat supplements)
cleaning robotic and traditional litter, and fancy drink fountains!
Finally, I am an expert plant parent and love to see them thrive - so I am happy to water plants and bring in mail in addition to caring for your puddy-tats.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, i am available. I do like to plan in advance of the busier national holidays to maximise my cat sitting time, so let’s chat about when and what you need.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Easy… my ribbon ropey flingy string thing. It is cat crack - the movement of this thing is irresistable to the kitties - its also really long so it can really exercise the energetic cats when you fling it up and down a hallway. I think it looks like a wiggly rainbow snake.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

With care and quiet. I often move around the space with as little fanfare as possible so as not to startle the kitty. I will sit still in the space for the visit if the cat is comfortable being there and talk or sing to myself (it sounds nuts) but the cat will get used to my tone and know that im not a threat. If there are medications involved, I will generally discuss these with the owner ahead of time and agree on a plan.

Kas is everything you could wish for in a sitter! She took amazing care of my cats and I was able to fully enjoy my time off knowing that they were in the best hands. Kas truly cares for cats and has a lot of experience working with them. During our pre-sitting call I was impressed by the thoroughness of her questions and preparedness. While I was away Kas provided sweet and witty updates and took some great shots of cats! Highly recommend Kas to anyone looking for a high-quality, compassionate, fun sitter.

Kas genuinely loves cats! She has a history of nursing particularly sick fosters back to health. I've witnessed her interact so naturally with the cats she comes into contact with - she reads their body language well and responds appropriately. She is trustworthy (which is what I think these cats respond to) and has a healthy respect for boundaries and personal space. She is reliable, patient and has vast experience managing medications without getting frustrated. She'll treat your cat with as much love as she would one of her own!

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!
