I'm Kristen | Cat Sitting in New York, NY
I have been a cat lover, adopter, foster, rescuer, and sitter for 10+ years in NYC. I know how important it is to know your kitty(ies) is well-loved while you’re away, and I would be thrilled to do that for you and them! I am experienced with cats of all temperaments, cuddly or independent, shy or working on behavior. I will follow all instructions to make sure they are comfortable and interacted with in the ways they enjoy. I would love to know what toys and petting spots they enjoy the most, or if they have certain boundaries with touch or interaction so I can make them to feel loved while you’re away. I’ll be sure to send you thorough updates, including photo, so you can get a dose of their love from afar. I have professional experience with Best Friends and Bidawee, including as Adoption Counselor and Foster Coordinator! I am well versed with medical emergencies, signs of illness and stress & ...

Sarah
Kristen did a perfect job taking care of my shy kitty, and even seemed to bond with her a bit more than some of my previous sitters! Great pics and updates, good communication, and super reliable. She’s a true cat person who knows her stuff, so I felt comfortable leaving Willow in her hands even for a lengthy trip!

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 $38.00. 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.
