I'm Luc
Cat Sitting in New York, NY
I tailor my approach to suit each person and cat’s preferences and requirements. I will understand their individuality (and quirks!) and I commit myself to providing a safe and fun experience for them to be themselves while also getting the care they require. I am consistent with routine, adjustable for your cat, and I have a gentle patient approach to cats of all ages, sizes and characteristics. I know how critical stimulation and playtime are for your cat when you are away, and I make sure every critter I spend time with is given the attention they deserve.
I am also well versed in caring for cats with special needs, elder and medical issues - including one of my own!
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.

Luc was a communicative and caring sitter for my loving elderly cat. He was able to give him a nebulizing treatment and medicine daily and sent lots of pictures. When I returned home, my cat was calm and happy- looked very well taken care of. Luc had also taken out thre garbage and left the home clean. Thank you Luc! Highly recommend and will use again.

Luc is a highly intelligent and responsible sitter, who shows initiative when confronting unusual and potentially dangerous situations. In my case, he alerted me that my male Siamese ("Gus") had stopped eating, was refusing any human contact and was exhibiting other strange behaviors. Luc recommended a visit to the Vet, which he then arranged and executed (that is, took Gus to the Vet, correctly described the troubling symptoms, authorized - after speaking with me - all the necessary scans and blood tests and then administered, while I was away, all the newly prescribed medications.) He handled the entire situation beautifully. I should add that Luc's daily messages were detailed and amusing and often contained insights into my two cats' behaviors that I myself had missed. In short, Luc's among the very best. You'd be wise to choose him as your sitter. David Hammer

This was our second sitting w/ Luc - he was amazing again! He even put out some emergency water (in case of a blackout since we have an electronic fountain) on the counter when we forgot. And of course he sent PLENTY of pics/videos of our happy cat from their time together :)

Luk was amazing!! He was patient at the meet and greet so our cat was VERY comfortable by the first sitting. He provided so many photos and videos from each visit, and included cute observations of our cat’s behavior each time. When one of our cat toys broke between visits, he even got on the phone to troubleshoot with us. After his final visit, Luk left a lovely note describing all the things he loved about our cat Kiki! We highly recommend him and will be reaching out to him again in the future, Kiki is quite attached :)

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 was an amazing cat-sitter!!! He visited our two kitties Hippo and Bella daily over the holidays and kept us notified with photos and messages about them every day. He took the time to play with them, give them treats, and keep the litter box clean. Also, our cats quickly became acquainted with Luc – he might be a secret cat whisperer. Overall, Luc was the perfect person for the job and we could not have asked for anything more.

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!

Luc did a fantastic job caring for my two cats while I was on vacation. He was patient, considerate, and adaptable, and he took such wonderful care of them. They did not make it easy (they never do), but he was able to form a good bond with them and I was so happy to see how comfortable they were with him by the end of the sitting.

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!
Arman
August 18, 2025
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.
Response from Luc
Thank you Arman!! Sneakers was a real pleasure.

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! 👍
