I'm Skyler | Cat Sitting in New York, NY
[Updated April 2025] I'm a cat sitting hobbyist based in Lower East Side booking nearby drop-ins in the neighborhoods of Lower East Side, Chinatown, Greenwich Village, West Village, East Village, SoHo, Tribeca, FiDi. Let me know if I can open additional dates. I have a full-time job with flexible office/remote work, I can plan my day around drop-ins for care. I live in Lower East Side by Essex Market and work in Tribeca/WTC - i walk to/from work and visits around this area are ideal, but I'm happy to venture to nearby neighborhoods! I am a very calm and respectful person who tries to be a good steward in the spaces I'm invited into - I try to leave things in a better state than i find them and leave no trace behind....
Skyler's Reviews
Jordana
Skyler was great with our two cats. We appreciated the detailed updates, pics and videos he sent. Would definitely use him again the next time we need a sitter for our cats.

skyler watched my cat who recently had surgery and in a cone. everything went really well! great communication and amazing photo updates!! it was a last minute request and he was able to accommodate! I’m happy with the experience and would definitely book again!
Jennifer
Skyler has looked after our cat Sam on two occasions now and we couldn’t be more pleased with Skyler’s work. We looked forward to the delightful daily pictures and updates from Skyler every day we were away. Skyler not only diligently provided fresh food and water, but also kept the litter box tidy, kept the apartment at a comfortable temperature, and provided Sam with play and affection. We highly recommend Skyler!

Skyler was super communicative and a pleasure to book- my senior girls really warmed up to him quickly!
Jennifer
Skyler is amazing! He was so quick to respond to my reservation inquiry, and his communication was thorough and reliable before, during and after my reservation. Skyler was so attentive to my cat Sam, and I loved Skyler’s daily updates and adorable pics. Skyler will definitely be my first choice for cat care next time I need to travel.

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 $33.00. 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.
