I'm Polina | Cat Sitting in New York, NY
Greetings! I am Polina, and it would be my utmost joy to take care of your beloved feline companion. Cats have been an integral part of my life for more than 10 years. Myself I had 3 cats: charming Russian Blue and two delightful yard cats (16, 5 and 3 years old). I saw them growing, maturing and aging. I know them happy, I know them sad, I love their zoomies and silence presence. I am offering a wide range of care, from the everyday tasks of feeding, and engaging in playful activities, to more intricate procedures, like admi...

Polina's Reviews
Rachael
Polina has done a great job taking care of our kitties. She played a game with them that I showed her that is specific to them. She let me know when she would be going and sent photos and good communication after. We are happy to have her to hang out with our girls.

Polina took care of changing food/water as well as cleaning the toilet for two days for my cats. It was very thorough, and in particular the toilets were really clean! Photos she took were nice too, and she gave my Sun some treats, which is wonderful. Reports were detailed too. I'd love to ask her help again!

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 $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.
