Cat Sitting in New York, NY

I’ve grown up with cats since I was 8 and I was lucky to have my first cat Booboo until he was 18. Lucky for me he was a very smart, well behaved, friendly cat so even people that wouldn’t necessarily like cats liked him. One of my proudest cat mom accomplishments is getting my previous roommate to love Booboo like her own, where when she moved out she adopted her own cats!

I’ve grown up with cats since I was 8 and I was lucky to have my first cat Booboo until he was 18. Lucky for me he was a very smart, well behaved, friendly cat so even people that wouldn’t necessarily like cats liked him. One of my proudest cat mom accomplishments is getting my previous roommate to love Booboo like her own, where when she moved out she adopted her own cats!

I currently have a handsome 5 year old ginger tabby that I adore. Him and his adopted sister are best friends that love to get into trouble together. Having raised and lived with many cats I understand how their personalities can differ and approach them accordingly. Anyone that knows me knows I love cats and will always indulge in pet stories and photos.

Professionally I work in tech as a marketing manager.

During the week I am available before 8 am and after 5pm and weekends I’m flexible. The neighborhoods that work best for me include the UES and Midtown.


Medication Experience:

Marina was so kind and helpful with our kitty while we were away! She provided daily updates with multiple photos and even cleaned our cat’s ear as she is experiencing a chronic ear infection. Definitely reccomend Marina if you are looking for a reliable and communicative cat sitter!

Marina was great with my kitty who is usually pretty shy around strangers! I was surprised at how my cat came out of hiding so quickly and would let Marina pet her and play with her, and Marina's updates were always super informative and included great pictures! I would definitely book with Marina again!

Marina did great with our cat! Our cat tends to get up to mischief if not given enough attention while we're out, but we were very happy to come home to a home without broken cups knocked to the ground! Marina came at a consistent time each day which was great for our cat who does not like to have a later than usual breakfast. Marina also provided great updates and pictures and helped us feel at ease while we were away!

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!
