Learn More About Luc

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been catsitting for a total of 12 years. I started small and found that I loved meeting, getting to know, and taking care of animals and forming a bond. I expanded my services to the local community and catsit as a passion and profession, becoming more familiar with medical needs and different feeding requirements. In NYC I have been catsitting for a few years in my neighborhood. I find the experience of caring for animals and building relationships to be rewarding and always love when a cat and I grow fond of each other. Plus all the snuggles that come with!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have two cats that I co-parent with my partner Lydia. Their names are Nigh and Sammy. Nigh is our old boy (12 years) flamepoint siamese and the lord of the home,. He’s always demanding and very cuddly. Sammy is a girl tabby we inherited recently and is more anxious, but learning and becoming more confident. I wont say they are best friends, but they tolerate each other!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Anyone looking to hire the right person for catsitting should look for someone who is experienced and trustworthy. I would advise to ask about handling their cat’s specific personality and to meet the sitter first to see how they interact with the cat, and also the cat’s level of comfort. Clear communication is also critical to a positive catsitting experience! I advise any customer to discuss the cat’s routine, preferences, and potential issues or behaviors to watch, so that the sitter can adjust their caregiving practices to suit the kitty and the moment.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I make sure I am monitoring the cat’s health signs and behavior closely, which can be the biggest indicator of a potential problem. I ensure I know any emergency protocols, including vet contact information, and any instructions easily on hand for things like allergies, medical conditions, or prior illness symptoms. From a perspective of considering the space, I make sure the cat is safe by removing any potential hazards and double check that windows are closed/screened. I also check food and water regulary and replace to be in line with cleanliness and food safety. I always provide frequent updates especially if preferred by the owner (leaving your cat can cause anxiety!)

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I can catsit at all times of year. Cats need attention and love even when the human goes away for holidays!

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love stick-string toys and how all the cats seem to go wild for them. So fun to watch and play with them when they are trying to catch it.

This was my first time using meowtel, so of course was a little nervous... How do I choose the right sitter? Can I trust them? Will my fur baby like them? Even before my trip, I knew when I met Luc I made the right choice. He is totally a "cat guy" - really understands they are persnickety royalty and you must meet the cat on their terms. While at the same time understanding they are pets, so we are in charge! The first update during my trip sealed the deal - logistically everything went smooth, Luc communicated all of the pertinent info, and really made me feel at ease that my boy was in good hands. The video and photo updates were frequent and meaningful - and a nice connection to home when I needed it. Honestly my only concern is that by the end of the trip my cat likes him more than me at this point! I am recommending Lic to all of my friends...don't hesitate at all ...and very reasonably priced to boot.

Luc did an absolutely wonderful job with my cats! He was easily able to connect with them and even got my shyest cat to come out of her shell. He also provided regular updates and photos the entire time! Would highly recommend him to any cat parent!!

Luc was fabulous! Went out of his way to accommodate my scheduling needs, was very communicative, and was great with my cats. My place was exactly how I left it (actually probably cleaner, as he vacuumed up all the cat hair).

Luc was awesome with my kitties. They obviously took to him - sitting in his lap which is a big move for them! He sent great updates and pictures and everything was clean and the cats happy when we got home! Will hopefully have him back next time!

Luc was amazing and so caring for our fur babies. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the attention and care he gave our geriatric cats. The cats were so comfortable; they even came out to say hello, which was surprising as they will usually hide for strangers. I was very nervous leaving them, but Luc made it so much easier. Thank you!

Luc is amazing, a true cat whisperer! During the meet and greet, he had our usually anxious cat feeling very comfortable and our cat was rubbing against his legs and looking for attention from him. From the photos/videos he sent us, I could tell how much our cats enjoyed our time with Luc. I think they were a little disappointed when my husband and I returned!

We’ve had a few cat sitters in the past but our recent experience with Luc was by far the best. We found Luc because he was close to our area and we lucked out. He bonded with our cat very quickly, was very considerate with his updates and we specifically asked Luc to come in the morning and he exactly that. We will 100% be reaching out to Luc again the next time we’re out of town.

This was my first sit with Luc, and he definitely was able to connect a bit with my somewhat shy, standoffish and anxious kitty, I was impressed! 🙂 He took great care of her in all aspects, with excellent pics and communication in general, and left things clean. I would definitely use Luc again and recommend! 👍

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 $32.00. 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.
