I'm Hana
Cat Sitting in New York, NY
My background as a scientist in healthcare research has strengthened my sense of empathy... As a proud cat mom to my 8-year-old sweetheart kitty, Elton, I know just how deeply we love our pets and how important it is to trust the person caring for them. I’m someone who cherishes a cat’s unique personality and loves creating a calm, safe, and comforting environment during every visit.
My background as a scientist in healthcare research has strengthened my sense of empathy, patience, and reliability. These are qualities that naturally extend to the way I care for animals. Whether your cat prefers playtime, cuddles, or quiet companionship, I adjust to their needs.
When I’m not working, you’ll find me enjoying classical music, reading, movies, traveling, or simply relaxing with my own car. It would be an honor to care for your cat while you’re away!
Learn More About Hana
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Truthfully establishing a relationship with the cat and letting them know they are safe, cared for, and I want only the best for them! And cuddles, of course.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Elton, he is eight years old and the love of my life! I adopted him in Fayetteville, Arkansas when he was eight weeks old and he’s been the best and sweetest cat I could ask for.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
While keeping a close eye, I make sure to maintained a distance from them until they feel comfortable around me. I will provide a treat and offer a toy to them so they understand I am there to care and give them some loving!

This review is actually from my cats, they are both shy, but samurai is one of the most cowardly cat's you'd ever not meet since he's hiding under the bed... Hana is a true cat whisperer and had him walking around freely in a couple of days, which is a record achievement! Hana also braved one of the biggest snow blizzard in more than a decade to take care of my kitties. Full marks and then some!

Hana is the absolute best! She always makes us feel so comfortable leaving our babies when we’re out of town because we know they’re in the best hands. She makes sure they’re well fed, happy, and get plenty of playtime, and she always sends the cutest photo updates while she’s there. It gives us such peace of mind knowing they’re so well cared for. Highly recommend, she’s fabulous!

Hana is incredibly capable and grounded, with a natural intelligence that shows up in how thoughtfully she engages with others. She listens well, adapts easily, and brings a steady reliability that makes people feel immediately comfortable. She’s the kind of person whose presence elevates any environment, simply because she shows up with genuine care and commitment

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 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 Meet & Greet!
