I'm Amy Lee | Cat Sitting in New York, NY
I have limited availability in December and will be out of town for Christmas/New Year's. Drop-in availability has been updated for January & February. 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 2/28. 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. 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. 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-minute visit...

Amy Lee's Reviews
Haley
Amy was great! She was very professional and caring for our cat. She sent great updates with pictures and videos of each visit, so I had very little to worry about while I was away.
Natalia
Amy was an absolute Godsend and so professional! she took the best care of our 2 kitties over Thanksgiving, ensuring we were informed of every detail of their wellbeing. She followed our instructions perfectly and ensured we came home to a clean house. I look forward to working with Amy again!
Sarah
This is our second time working with Amy and she is just the BEST!
Amy
Most important information: we have one very shy kitty who hides when literally ANYONE comes in the apartment. When Amy walked in for the meet and greet, instead of hiding, he WALKED OVER TO SAY HI TO HER AND LET HER PET HIM. We were astonished. She is a serious cat whisperer. Amy is way better than even her stellar reviews suggest. We chose her based on her reviews and on her high percentage of repeat customers (we have already tried to re-book her as well). The tone of voice she uses to talk to our kitties in the videos she sends makes us SO HAPPY because it's how we talk to them. Her photos are wonderful and in her videos she shows what she's done and explains how it's all going. She is an incredible communicator and she is very conscientious about how she completes all of the kitty-related tasks. She also spends time playing with and talking to the kitties. We were extremely impressed and are grateful to have found her.
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!

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.
