I'm Kristina

Cat Sitting in New York, NY

Hi, I’m Kristina! I have been the proud cat mom to several cats throughout my life including my 2 current furballs - Kitty and Binx. As a result, I’m well versed in cat body language and am able to truly appreciate every cat for their unique personality - rather that’s curious and outgoing or shy and slow to warm up.

WHAT TO EXPECT FROM ME
When it comes to animals - my patience is endless and I have no issue meeting a cat where they’re at to ensure minimal stress while you’re away. If they want to play - amazing! - if they’d rather I give them space - I’m happy to do that too! I follow directions to a “t” and will take the lead on feeding/litter box/treat regimens from you...

My day job is in communications - specifically in the digital space - so you can expect detailed updates from me during each visit complete with photos and videos of your furry babies.

Speaking of work - I currently have a flexible, hybrid arrangement so will be able to accommodate any scheduling preferences (such as early morning or mid-day checkins).

SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE
I know first hand how important it is to leave your kitties in the care of someone you can trust. In 2021 both of my childhood cats developed cancer just 5 months apart. During that time I became very well versed in caring for and doting over sick kitties. I am incredibly experienced in administering medicine - both pills and liquids - as well as eye drops/ointment.

I will go the extra mile to ensure your cats receive all the love and care they need in your absence. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Kristina is the best! I highly recommend her. She is patient, attentive and quick to respond. My cat loves her and she spends so much of her visit talking to him, playing with him. He is a bit spoiled and she meets him where he is. perfection

Kristina, is a fantastic cat sitter. I never have to worry about her providing exceptional care, she is so reliable and always goes above and beyond! Her updates always include videos and pics of my babies as well as detailed information on how they are and all the care she provided. She is very patient with my super shy guy and gives him the space he needs while making sure he has everything he is happy from a distance. I have booked her many times and will continue to do so and so should anyone reading this review!!!

Kristina went above and beyond with my senior (18 y/o) cat who is in his end stages of life. I am very hesitant about leaving him given his multiple health conditions - stage 4 kidney disease, grade 4 heart murmur, to name a few - but I knew he would be in good hands with Kristina. Kristina was, as always, very communicative and responsive leading up to and during the visit. My cat receives multiple medications and one that is mixed in with his food. During one visit he was particularly uninterested in his food. Kristina was very patient in trying to get him to eat more of his food so he could get his full dose of medicine. So much so that when he wasn’t eating (and I was away from my phone and not responding 🤦🏼‍♀️), she returned to the apartment the same night to try again and got him to eat the rest of it. Most cat sitters would have stuck to the reservation booked and tried their best during the reserved time, then would have called it a day. I really appreciate that she made it her #1 priority to get him his meds, especially because with him at this stage it can be really touch and go/he could go downhill really fast at any time. I recommend Kristina to anyone that asks me who I use for cat sitting and will continue to do so!

Kristina was awesome! My cat has 2 meds and she was able to administer them without any trouble which is a feat. She left the apartment tidy, cleaned up any accidents made by my cat (he has kidney disease) and gave him fresh water each visit. Additionally I had some packages that were very important that Kristina was able to safeguard while I was away. It gave me peace of mind!

Kristina did an excellent job caring for my cat for 5 days while I was on vacation. I was a bit nervous about leaving my cat at home alone, but her detailed updates and patient demeanor really put me at ease. My cautious cat warmed up to her quickly. I was also happy to know that Kristina was enjoying quality time with her, and not just rushing in and out to feed her. I'm so thankful to have found Kristina and I'm looking forward to working with Kristina again in the future!

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!
