I know that being patient and earning your cat’s trust up front are incredibly important to keeping them stress-free while you are away.
I have experience giving cats medicine, separating siblings during mealtime, accommodating multiple diets, and even taking care of a cat with a broken arm.
I’d love to know your cats favorite scratch spots, their favorite toys and treats, and their typical behaviors. During a cat-sitting visit, I’ll administer and refresh food and water, scoop and/or change litter box, give medicine if needed, have a bit of social time if wanted, and send you pictures if you’d like.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and I’d love to get to know your feline:)
Learn More About Karalyne
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
My favorite thing about cat sitting is the cat’s personality starting to come out more and more the more they trust me. I respect that a cat’s trust must be earned, and that’s why they are amazing.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
My family in Nashville has five cats! Their names are Emily, Theodore, Tonya, Cosette, and Claire, but they go by Amelia, Theepy Deepy, Ton Ton, Coco Puff, and Clairabeaufiful, respectively.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I like to my myself as small as possible by sitting on the ground, cross-legged to become less intimidating. I always follow the cat’s lead, let them come to me, and offer a treat as a peace offering.

New York cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
