Cat Sitting in New York, NY

I bring a warm and approachable disposition to every pet sitting. I am intuitive to a pet's needs (having had two dogs and a cat within my lifetime, while also serving multiple cat and dog clients) and am also comfortable administering medication and tending to senior pets. I can safely clip nails and brush pets,... I bring a warm and approachable disposition to every pet sitting. I am intuitive to a pet's needs (having had two dogs and a cat within my lifetime, while also serving multiple cat and dog clients) and am also comfortable administering medication and tending to senior pets. I can safely clip nails and brush pets, as needed.

I have a wide availability for pet sittings throughout the day and evening. I am very flexible with drop ins, house sittings and walks as requested.

I care for pets exclusively at clients' homes. I make sure to complete all tasks for the sitting and spend ample time to provide comfort for your pet.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have provided cat sitting for several clients over the past 20 years and owned and cared for my own adopted cat Shinji for 13 years. I’ve only had positive experiences caring for cats and kittens — the joy they bring and the security I provide for them forms a bond that builds lovely memories for years to come. I always make sure to check in with pet parents about what engages their cat or makes them feel most at ease, so I can deliver the best care possible.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

It’s a highlight in my day to be able to care for, play with, and bond with cats as a cat sitter.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Teaser toys are great for initiating play in most cats and are particularly engaging for me and the pet mutually.

Hayley once again exceeded expectations and did a wonderful job taking care of Ollie! She follows instructions perfectly and was very good about sending updates throughout and photos! Hayley did a perfect job administering Oliver with insulin and keeping all of his needs met. I look forward to working with her again!

Laura was a terrific cat-sitter for our two cats! She was very flexible and responsive, coming to meet our cats beforehand and sending us photos and updates each day we were away. She also handled giving one cat his medication each day. We really appreciated having Laura watch our cats and will definitely rely on her in the future!

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.

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!
