Amik is incredible! Couldn’t ask for a better companion for Dylan while we are away. He goes above and beyond and his communication is perfect!

I wasn’t worried at all leaving my cat in Amik’s care, he really took incredible care of him, sent daily updates, and gave great advice.

Learn More About Amik

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

When was I not a cat sitter... hmm let me think... I've been working with cats for over 20 years.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Making new small and regular sized friends. It's a small world after all! I also love taking photos and making fun videos of all the cat acrobatics or sleepy timez.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

When the kitties showed the belly... And I petted it... But the kitty was in fact playing a PRANK on me and instead it was actually PLAYYY TIMMME. Trophies of the game.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! Two old and wise children named Holland and Marta! I raised them from when they could both fit in the palm of one hand to being over 20 years old now!

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

Find someone who you know has their own cats. Avoid those with extremely busy cat schedules, this can reduce the "quality time" the sitter spends with your own kitties. I keep my cat circle small for this reason and consider myself to be a boutique cat sitter. My visits go well beyond what is standard in terms of care and time spent with your kids, they remember me and might even miss me.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

Happy to do a meet and greet but it is not necessary at all. I'm familiar with all foods, medications, procedures, etc., so there is nothing to worry about. I am in constant communication with you as needed. I am also telepathically linked to your cats (for real).

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

I think like a cat and am observant of surroundings at all time. Anything that could create potential challenges I mitigate in advance. On various visits, I have made furniture more stable, cleaned or replaced damages toys, and I always check teeth and claws to make sure there were no injuries when I was away and the kitties partied hard.

Are you usually available during holidays?

YES, call me Santa Claws.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Wand with mouse. OMG. Cats can learn how to fly with that thing.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I make them not timid or anxious! My experience working with hundreds if not thousands of cats in shelters and in peoples homes has allowed me to handle even the most stressful scenarios. Even if it takes more time that the scheduled visit, I will improve your cats trust of me, the surroundings if you just moved, new food, a littler box, and medication without fail.

Can’t wait to have Amik back! A true professional who deeply cares for cats. When I noted our cats odd eating habits he not only recommended new food but brought some for Bob to try. He is thoughtful and helpful - the best of the era.

Amik is consistently stellar with my 2 senior cats. He is a true cat whisperer and sends the best updates. I've gotten invaluable tips from him too, as he also has 2 senior cats. I know they're in good hands with Amik.

Amik was amazing with my 2 senior cats, one of them having many health issues. He patiently listened to my detailed care instructions involving different feeding and supplements for each cat, and medications for the one with health issues. He truly cares for them and is super communicative!

Amik is fantastic. He sent me daily photos and messages and was so attentive and patient with our cat who is very shy. By the end of the week, She was out from hiding and getting lots of petting and head scratches. I highly recommend Amik!

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.
