Cat Sitting in New York, NY

I grew up with two cats and a dog, I have always loved animals. I have been cat sitting for friends and family since I was in middle school. One of my childhood cats was asthmatic (I am also asthmatic) so I feel very comfortable and equipped giving pills, inhalers, and nebulizer treatments to cats. A few years back I adopted a cat of my own! (He's the black and white cat in the cover photo, his name is Croissant.) I... I grew up with two cats and a dog, I have always loved animals. I have been cat sitting for friends and family since I was in middle school. One of my childhood cats was asthmatic (I am also asthmatic) so I feel very comfortable and equipped giving pills, inhalers, and nebulizer treatments to cats. A few years back I adopted a cat of my own! (He's the black and white cat in the cover photo, his name is Croissant.) I am 28 years old and currently I am a doctoral student at Manhattan School of Music. I live in West Harlem/Hamilton Heights off the 1 train and I am more than happy to take the subway to you. My neighborhood, the Upper West Side, Washington Heights, Inwood, and Morningside Heights are easily accessible. I can easily access any neighborhoods along the 1 and A trains.
I look forward to meeting you and your cats! :)

Lindsay did a great job taking care of Boots! I was happy to see that she was able to get my shy kitty to come out and get the love that I know she really wants! Lindsay was also very prompt with communication and updates, I will absolutely book with her again in the future.

Lindsay was a great cat sitter. She was very communicative and sent us updates and photos during every visit. We felt that she treated our cats as if they were her own. She took notes during the meet and greet so she would remember what to do and it made us feel so comfortable during our long trip away. Would definitely book her again.

Lindsay was so attentive and wonderful. Incredibly responsive with her messaging. Charmed my cat almost instantly! She left Cat happy and calm after every visit (took such cute photos too). I felt so relieved knowing my girl was in great hands. We will absolutely ask Lindsay back to hang with Cat again!

Lindsay is simply the best. I trust her implicitly with my two cats. When she first met my male cat, he was pretty shy, but after only a couple of visits, he came out to see her consistently. My female cat was really open with her and even let her pick her up and hold her! I’ve been nothing short of thrilled with her communication, her photos, and her care for my cats. I would recommend her to anyone.

Lindsay was a wonderful cat sitter and looked after our Taco while we were away for 2 weeks. She was very communicative over the app, sent us plenty of photos and took care of our plants as well. We will definitely look to work with her again for our next trip out of town.

Lindsay was super professional and responsive the entire time she looked after Kira, taking photos and videos for us while we were out of town. I knew Kira loved Lindsay when she came by the apartment to drop off the keys and Kira ran to the door when she heard her voice. We’ll definitely ask Lindsay to watch Kira for our next out of town trip!

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 $30.00. 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!
