I'm Lucy | Cat Sitting in Bronx, NY
*** Currently NOT accepting new clients, sorry! *** Hello! I'm Lucy. Your New York City Professional Cat Lady. I provide in-your-home cat sitting services in the south Bronx, and Manhattan above 42nd St (including Hamilton Heights, Harlem, Upper West Side, Upper East Side, and Hells Kitchen). I have lived with cats all my life, and love and appreciate their eccentricities and quirks. If your cat enjoys attention, I will shower them with fuss. If your cat is more reserved, I will respect their boundaries. I love cats of all sizes, shapes, and personalities! I have two cats of my own - a beautiful pair of bonded brothers named Ferris and Storm. You can see them in my photos - Ferris is the black one, his brother Storm is the grey one. ^_^ In my day job, I am a licensed Physical Therapist (I enjoy looking after humans almost as much I enjoy looking after cats!). My non-feline-related interests include Broadway and musical theatre, politics, Australian football, and 90s music. If you need a mature, reliable, and trustworthy cat sitter in New York - look no further! I am also happy to take care of any other odd jobs while you're away, such as collecting mail, watering plants, or bringing in packages. Generally, my calendar opens up for bookings about three months in advance. I recommend booking as early as practical, to avoid missing out! Holidays in particular fill up very quickly - usually a month or more in advance. Christmas, Memorial Day, and Thanksgiving are my busiest weeks of the year; if you need cat-sitting around these periods book as early as you can to avoid missing out. Additionally - I usually take a vacation myself in late August and early September. So, I am typically NOT available over the Labor Day weekend, sorry. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: Are you available on xyz date? A: Please refer to my schedule/calendar right here on my profile! (See the "Availability & Service Areas" tab to the right to find the calendar). I keep my availability updated. There is no need to message me to ask ab...
Lucy's Reviews
Caroline
Lucy took excellent care of my cat, Monty! I had never used Meowtel before and my cat needs medication (inhaler) but I had nothing to worry about. She sent thorough updates with lots of pictures for each visit and my cat was clearly very happy. I would definitely book with Lucy again!
Aryeh
Wonderful experience with Lucy, as always!
Lucia
Lucy is so gentle and kind with my kitties. I have 2 cats and they are both shy. Especially one is hiding most of the time when someone is home and I'm not there. Lucy somehow gets her to come out and play or eat her treat. I don't know how she is doing that, it's pretty extraordinary! She always takes care of everything perfectly, sends a lot of cute pictures and reassures me that kitties are taken care of as princesses so I can enjoy my time away from home! 11 out of 10 recommend!
Sarah
Lucy is a gem! I had to travel last minute due to a family emergency, and I didn’t have to worry at all about my cat Chloe’s well being. Lucy sent daily updates with lots of photos, which was very reassuring. Lucy is reliable, caring and a professional.
Michelle
Lucy is absolutely meowtastic!! She was so conscientious and caring with our favorite fluffball, who recently fell ill just before we had to travel. Lucy gave her the required medicine, checked in on her, and sent very thorough reports on her progress. We would not have been able to enjoy our vacation without knowing that fluff ball was in such capable hands! Absolutely recommend 100%

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee
We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions
Bronx cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $35.00. 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.
