I'm Amy Lee | Cat Sitting in New York, NY
Thanksgiving Day & Black Friday are fully-booked. I will be out of town for Christmas / New Year’s. Thanks for your interest!🦃 **New clients: please book at least 72 hours in advance before the start of a reservation. Drop-in availability updated through 1/31. Morning visits are generally 7:30am-10am; Evening visits 5-7:30pm. Sunday p.m. visits are often later as I teach those nights. Visits are mapped out to make the most efficient use of my commute, & that route varies daily. "Anytime" reservations are appreciated. Thanks for your understanding / patience!** Hello! I’m an actor, writer, yoga practitioner, and former executive assistant with 2+ years experience on Meowtel, happily serving NYC felines on the west side of Manhattan from Inwood to Columbus Circle. A currently catless cat lady, I was the proud and devoted fur parent of a feisty seal-point Siamese with kidney issues for over 17 years. I appreciate what it means to have a cat sitter who is trustworthy, engaged, and invested in the health, well-being, and personality of the animal(s) placed in their care. More than simply feeding and cleaning litterboxes, I look forward to spending time with the cats entrusted to me. I *love* to take kitty photos and videos for my clients, enjoy playtime with the kitties I serve, am pleased to sit down for lap time, pets, and ear scratches if your cat deems me worthy, and consider a simple head-butt from a skittish charge to be a hard-won compliment. I am happy to wear a mask while I am in your home if you prefer; please let me know. Overnight protocols to be discussed as needed. I look forward to meeting you and your cat(s) and working with you (and them) to achieve their best care. FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q: Are you available on X date to visit Y neighborhood? A: Please refer to my schedule here - I keep my drop-in calendar updated (overnights: see below*). I map out my visits based on the locations of my clients each day to make the most effective use of my commute. If I am available on the calendar, please feel free to make your reservation. A note of introduction is always welcome! Q: *Do you offer overnight visits? A: I am phasing out overnight availability as I need to be home at night to work on other projects. Thanks for your understanding! Q: How much time should I book for each visit? A.: 45-minute visits are my most popular option. 45+ minute visits are recommended for cats who benefit from more activity/companionship, as well as for 2+ cat households. 20-m...

Amy Lee's Reviews
Matt
Amy is an incredible cat sitter who goes above and beyond for my three cats, including one who is more high-maintenance (an understatement). She’s patient, attentive, and genuinely cares, making sure everyone is happy and cared for. Amy’s updates, complete with photos, give me total peace of mind. I’m so grateful to have her and highly recommend her to anyone!
Ivan
Amy is an amazing cat sitter. Super detailed in her updates, great photos, manages all the kitty action items (litter/food/water/etc) and is just super great to work with!
Andrew
Amy Lee is a very reliable, communicative and responsible cat sitter! We appreciate her kindness with our cat. She was also very helpful in extending her visits when our flight home was canceled and we were stuck for a few days. Our cat loves playing with her and receiving her gentle pets. We recommend her to everyone!
Sean
Amy is a natural with cats and clearly cares and enjoys the time with them. Always provides consistent and thorough updates, along with photos and videos of your cat(s) to help with the distance while you’re away. A great experience.
Anne Marie
Amy Lee took great care of our kitties, making sure they were kept fed, clean, played with, and hydrated, and staying on top of any mishaps and messes!

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 $38.00. 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.
