Rossella Cat Sitting In Manhattan

I'm Rossella

Cat Sitting in New York, NY

Meow, I am Rossella, a cat sitter in the Upper East Side, Manhattan, NY,

Are you looking for a reliable cat sitter in the Upper East Side and in Manhattan? Don't look further!
I'm offering a free 30 min Meet & Greet (either in-person or via Zoom, as you prefer) to learn more about your kitties and how to take best care of them while you're away.

I've been vaccinated with the Pfizer vaccine and got both of my shots.
I'm still taking extra precautions: N95 masks, hand sanitizer, social distancing, etc.
I have never tested positive on COVID and I have not been in contact with anyone who tested positive.

- About myself –

Originally from Italy, I moved to the U.S. 10 years ago.
I live in the Upper East Side, Manhattan, and I would like to take care of my neighborhood cats. I work in Manhattan as Reiki Therapist, and occasionally Nanny/ Babysitter/Tutor.
I’m both fully insured and vetted by Meowtel. I will make sure your kitties are safe and happy while you are away.

Since my birth, I have had cats in my life...

I’m both fully insured and vetted by Meowtel. I will make sure your kitties are safe and happy while you are away.

Since my birth, I have had cats in my life. I grew up with my family who was taking care of cats and I started myself at an early age. I took care of different cat breeds, starting from their birth, feeding them with a bottle, giving meds when they needed, and I even saved their lives.
I currently have a female Sphynx cat. I can't imagine my life without sharing it with one of these beautiful companions. When I go somewhere and there are cats, I always see them come friendly towards me, purr and rub on my legs looking for cuddles. They know I love them. It's love at first sight. It's all about good vibes and matching chemistry. I can say for real that I’m a a cat person. I'm good at taking care of others, especially children and pets. I'm also an Animal Reiki Practitioner certified. I feel so fulfilled when I can take care of them. I'm available in the morning and late afternoon.
My rates include a full service. During each visit, I will:
--- Feed your cat(s) according to your guidelines
--- Administer some medication if any
--- First Aid if needed (I’m certified with the Red Cross)
--- Scoop / refresh the litter box
--- Play & cuddle
--- Pick up your mail and packages
--- Water your plants
--- Reiki session for your kittens
--- Teach your cat (s) some Italian

I am available whenever needed. I can do weekly, weekend, and overnight visits. I work a part-time job some days (2:30-7:30 PM) but I can accommodate just about anything. Just let me know with the most detail of what you need!
I can't wait to meet your kitties!!

COVID INFORMATION:
-I am fully vaccinated and will show my excelsior pass if needed.
-I will wear a mask if wanted by the client.
-I will wash my hands regularly while at client residences.

Rossella was awesome. It was a late reservation before the holidays and she was very accommodating. she was professional , punctual and followed instructions. she seems to really enjoy cat sitting and cats which is a huge plus! She got on the floor with Digby who I admit is a tad high maintenance 😀and played with him talked to him etc. She was not annoyed by his constant meowing! Risella was in constant communication and sent photos. All in all an great experience. I would definitely recommend her.

We’ve been using Rossella for several years now, and she is 100% reliable, respectful, and considerate! She sends photo updates from every visit, which really puts our mind at ease when we are away. She even cleaned the litter box without being asked to! Highly recommended!

Rosella was a very efficient cat sitter for Milli. She visited twice a day and always sent photos. I felt very secure with her help and her administering meds for Milli.

We hate leaving our baby behind when we’re out of town but Rosella made us feel so at ease. She followed all instructions to a tee, sent lots of update pics and our kitty was super chilled and happy when we arrived home which shows she was well taken care of!

Rosella was a blessing to our 2 cats. One is struggles with anxiety, so traveling is stressful for us. Rosella is highly responsive and carefully documented how she was caring for them. She really goes the extra mile and both of our cats thrived (so did we!). We’re booking her again asap :)

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 $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!
