Cat Sitting in New York, NY

I absolutely love cats! I grew up with cats and now I have a beautiful bengal kitty myself. She is my joy and my baby who I absolutely adore, she spends half of her time at a friends house and during that time I miss her so much. Outside of cat sitting I am a full time model which does require me to travel, I also love to work in fashion. I used to volunteer at a shelter to care for both cats and dogs! Animals truly make me so happy... I absolutely love cats! I grew up with cats and now I have a beautiful bengal kitty myself. She is my joy and my baby who I absolutely adore, she spends half of her time at a friends house and during that time I miss her so much. Outside of cat sitting I am a full time model which does require me to travel, I also love to work in fashion. I used to volunteer at a shelter to care for both cats and dogs! Animals truly make me so happy. I am willing to travel anywhere in the city to care for your furry baby and willing to do over night visits in NJ. I will make sure that they feel loved and comfortable while you are away. They will be well taken care of ❤️. For covid caution, all drop in visits I will wear a mask. For all visit I will wash my hand as soon as I enter the home and remove my shoes at the door. I am fully vaccinated and boosted! Schedule wise currently I am typically free except for Tuesdays 7am- 6pm and Sundays for church(10:30am- 1pm). I do have experience administering topical ointments, ear and eye drops, and oral medications. I look forward to loving and caring for your perfect cats!

Danielle did a great job taking care of our cat! She came to a meet and greet at our apartment to meet him and learn his routines and preferences. She texted photos and videos of him to us every day we were gone. We'd definitely recommend having her sit for your cat.

Arly has always been a slow socializer, it's taken her years to warm up to some people. Danielle had her charmed within a few hours. I was worried my kitty would be so scared and sad after a 9 hour move up to the city, but Dani's expert care helped her transition smoothly.

Danielle was simply amazing w my 2 cats. one of them is a feisty boy full of energy and she was just extraordinary with him, understanding his playing style and very vocal requests for attention (he’s a talker). i was out for 9 days and concerned about being apart from them, but her updates kept me very much at ease. Hope to have her available again on my nxt trip!

So thankful that Danielle was able to take care of my cat Gloria :) In general she is pretty low maintenance but has a sensitive stomach. She ended up throwing up one day and Danielle did such an amazing job cleaning it up I could not even tell it had happened when I came back home!

We had a very last minute booking and Danielle saved us. Communication was great. We felt comfortable leaving Bear in her trustworthy hands. Bear was a happy girl when we returned, she normally sulks for a bit because she’s mad at us for leaving but she was perky and cuddly. Thank you, Danielle!

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 $29.00. 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!
