I'm Sydney | Cat Sitting in New York, NY
Hi there! I'm Sydney and live in Harlem, NY with my husband and our two cats, Lif the Lap Cat, and Ash the Purr Monster. I grew up an animal lover in small town Iowa, and have spent over 12 years pet sitting for nearly all of my friends and family. I have cared for pets of all ages and temperaments, administering medicine, and ensuring they are comfortable and happy. I am extremely detail-oriented and guarantee that I will fulfill all of your cat's needs, especially if they are considered at risk or have other health issues. I treat my cats like family, and I promise to do the same for yours when you can't be with them. Your peace of mind is my utmost goal! While I am willing to make exceptions in terms of travel, please note that I do not have a car to get around, and rely solely on public transportation....

Sydney's Reviews
Sloan
Sydney is exceptional at what she does. She is detail-oriented and affectionate, earning not only my trust, but—even more amazingly—the trust of my (adorably) grumpy 16 year old kitty.
Danielle
Sydney was fantastic! My cat normally isn’t interested in playing when I’m away because he’s stressed out, but Sydney got him going! She sent tons of adorable photos and video and was super communicative the whole time.
Paige
Sydney did an amazing job. She followed instructions and provided updates regularly. Tiger is very shy and skittish, and she was able to get him to take his medication and food daily.
Hannah
Sydney did an incredible job watching our cat, Valley, over a weekend. Her photo and video updates are impeccable and our cat was comfortable around her even though she can be a bit shy around strangers. I highly recommend Sydney!!
Dawne
Sydney always does a great job with our senior cat, Olive. We love having her watch our sweetie and know she's in good hands.

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 $35.00. 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.
