Elka was amazing! We moved from LA to NYC with our cat and needed someone to sit with her in the hotel while we unpacked our apartment. By the second day, our cat came out from under the bed and sat with Elka, admiring the city views. We’re so happy to have found Elka; our cat felt safe and comfortable with her right away!

Elka has looked after my three cats for eight years and during those eight years, she has been such a blessing. Anytime I was away and needed someone last minute to look after my cats, she responded so quickly and I always knew that I could count on her to give the best care to my cats. It’s super hard to trust other people with your pets at least for me because they are like my children, but I would not trust anyone more than Elka.

My cat Remy adores Elka! She's dependable, intuitive, funny and proactive - easily the best sitter I've ever had. She puts us at ease.

Frequently Asked Questions
New York cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.
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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
