Above and beyond! Karina maintained amazing communication, kept a really regular schedule, and managed to broker peace between my mature cat and my crazy kitten. On top of everything, I returned from my travels to a tidy home. I can't say enough about what a positive experience I had. I would recommend Karina in a heartbeat. My neighbors also had nice things to say about her. :)

Karina was above and beyond in all ways possible! my cat loved her at first sight, she consulted me on an ongoing litterbox problem, was so loving towards my cat that my 3-day leaved could not have been better in terms of cat concerns. This is my second time coming right back to Karina, because my somewhat shy-tempered kitty loved her immediately. When we returned I could see in her eyes she was reassured and warmly taken care of. Karina thinks for her like her own cat, viewing her environment to imagine what might be best for her, and do things out of her expected responsibility to absolutely ensure their comfort. I am so moved by her, and Yubi (my kitten) and I are forever helped by her. Thank you, and I will keep coming back to Karina as long as I live in nyc. I'm so grateful for this Meowtel service and the chance to connect with Karina in this way!! Thank you!!

I'm so glad I found Karina for my Ryuk ! he's kind of a silly guy and he's been a little standoffish with pet sitters in the past but he must've felt at ease with Karina. He has hyperthyroidism and we think hyperesthesia that he takes meds for and she was wonderful taking care of him. She gave amazing videos and pictures so I knew Ryuk was having a good time !! and also gave me a report of the visit after. I feel like I can go on vacation without worries !!! thank you Karina I know Ryuk would love to see you next time !!

Karina did an amazing job taking care of our two cats! She made quick friends with our shy senior cat, who usually hides for all visitors!

It was obvious from the many images and videos that my cats loved and trusted her. They played, they showed their bellies, and were even comfortable enough to use the box in front of her! I came home to happy babies and that makes traveling feel easier.

Frequently Asked Questions
New York cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.
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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
