I'm Skyler
Cat Sitting in New York, NY
I'm a cat sitting hobbyist based in Lower East Side booking nearby drop-ins in the Lowest East Side and Chinatown areas. 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... [Updated Mar 2026]

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. I am quiet and discreet; I don't want to bring any undue attention to you and your home while you're away. I take photos of everything and will patiently send high quality photos, videos and updates of your kitty on each visit.
I'm available to meet and greet you and your kitty/ies before the reservation to go over food, litter, care, and play instructions as well as get the key and any building and visiting timing logistics. If you'd prefer to do this virtually via chat or facetime, that works too. I want you to know your kitties will be in good hands while you're away.
Let me know if I can bring in mail/packages during my visit, water/monitor any of your plants, or any other short house sitting tasks - just ask.

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 went above and beyond! I was nervous about my first time leaving my kitten Lamb alone, but Skyler was so calming and thoughtful, and he instantly connected with Lamb during the meet and greet. His pictures, videos and updates were frequent and insanely high-quality.

Skyler was awesome from the get-go! He was extremely responsive, came over the day before the reservation started to get a list of how to take car of my cat and anything else our apartment needed, and sent tons of pictures/videos for each visit. I will definitely be asking Skyler to watch Noodle for future visits!

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!

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.

Skyler did a great job taking care of my cat. She’s not the easiest and yet she seemed to have liked him a lot. Skyler was very responsible and very easy to communicate with.

Can't recommend Skyler enough! He was communicative, prompt, and sent me great photos of my cat (my cat's also obsessed with him). I felt incredibly safe leaving my cat with him and look forward to using him next time I head out of town.
