Cat Sitting in New York, NY

I am a 35 year old native New Yorker who's loved cats her entire life. I was born into a house with cats, but I currently live alone without pets, so I have lots of love to give!

I've lived with and taken care of cats and dogs consistently since I was a child and few things please me more than a happy kitty! I've also done a lot of cat and dog sitting since college, both for friends and formal employers.

I found my way to pet-sitting as a childcare professional when I was in my early twenties. I specialized in newborns and found myself working for a lot of clients with pets...

I found my way to pet-sitting as a childcare professional when I was in my early twenties. I specialized in newborns and found myself working for a lot of clients with pets. While I found caring for infants incredibly rewarding, it was also extremely taxing, so it was kismet when one of my clients asked me to take care of their cats!

I live in Inwood, Manhattan, but have easy access to reliable public transport, so my services are available virtually anywhere in Manhattan. My other work is remote and part time, so I have ample availability to suit any cat lover's needs.

I am very thorough in my approach to general health and safety. I wash my hands consistently and always respect no-shoe policies while inside someone else's home out of respect and an abundance of caution. I never want to put your or your kitty's health at risk!

I take the privilege and responsibility of a cat's care very seriously and would be honored to be your baby's caretaker.

This week

Sadie was a truly wonderful sitter for our menagerie of cats and it gave us such peace of mind on our trip knowing that they were in good hands! I got referred to Sadie by my own cat-sitter who was also out of town the week I was going away. Sadie is the sitter they use for their own cats! You know when it's your cat sitter's cat-sitter that your cats are going to get expert care! And Sadie provided exactly that - she had no problem giving medications, we got check-in texts every day, she monitored the food intake of our elderly picky eater and adapted to some new instructions when we realized our elderly girl needed some different meal time supports in our absence. Our cats were clearly in expert hands and we'll definitely recommend Sadie to others in our friend/family network in the future!

Sadie is the most wonderful catsitter! We have two elderly cats (both with diabetes and somewhat complex morning/evening meds). Sadie is so thorough and careful with their long list of needs. She is a great communicator and give us a huge peace of mind when we're traveling since she is so amazing. Most importantly, both my cats love her - she's a cat whisperer for sure! Sadie is the absolute best :))

Our kitties seemed to like Sadie. The communication was effective and one of our kitties has a medication situation that Sadie followed to the letter. We were very glad to have cute photos of the kitties during our time away.

Sadie was great! My request was so last minute because my elderly cat fell sick and was hospitalized 24 hours before I was scheduled to go in a trip that wasn’t easy to reschedule without canceling the whole thing. Sadie was able to come last minute and gave me so many updates to help alleviate any anxiety I had about leaving my cat. I gave so many instructions due to the complex situation and she took it all in stride.

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 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!
