Learn More About Luc

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

I have been catsitting for approximately 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.

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, 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?

I believe 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 interacts with the cat, and also the cat’s level of comfort. I believe clear communication is also critical to a positive catsitting experience and advise any customer to discuss the cat’s routine, preferences, and potential areas to watch, so that the sitter can adjust their caregiving practices to suit all needs.

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!)

Luc is wonderful. He enjoys hanging out with my cat and playing with him not just showing up and feeding the food bowl and litter box stuff. Highly 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 $31.00. 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.
