I'm Victoria
Cat Sitting in New York, NY
My name is Victoria and I’m always looking for opportunities to meet more furry angels! I grew up around cats and currently have 2 boys myself: Ryu and Yoshi. Having grown up with all types of animals (mainly cats and dogs), I’ve always had a strong connection with furry friends. Growing up, I’d always try to bring stray cats home - and luckily my parents let me keep some of them! Over the years, I’ve sort of made it one of my life’s missions to convert dog people (aka cat-haters) into cat lovers! Slowly but surely, we’re getting there, 1 cute kitty video at a time!
I’ve always loved how every cat has their... Hi everyone!
My name is Victoria and I’m always looking for opportunities to meet more furry angels! I grew up around cats and currently have 2 boys myself: Ryu and Yoshi. Having grown up with all types of animals (mainly cats and dogs), I’ve always had a strong connection with furry friends. Growing up, I’d always try to bring stray cats home - and luckily my parents let me keep some of them! Over the years, I’ve sort of made it one of my life’s missions to convert dog people (aka cat-haters) into cat lovers! Slowly but surely, we’re getting there, 1 cute kitty video at a time!
I’ve always loved how every cat has their own very distinct personality and little quirks, even more apparent than dogs perhaps (shh… don’t tell the dog. people lol). It all comes down to matching their energy!
I’m originally from San Francisco. But as of 2023, I’ve been living in NYC for 10 years now! One of my favorite things about the city is the Bodega Cat culture! I love how everyone just knows and respects that that’s their home.
Outside of cat sitting, I am a construction project manager full-time. Throughout the week, I bounce around from sites, field offices, and some days I WFH - I’m quite flexible during evenings as well as early mornings.
I’ve used Meowtel myself to find cat sitters for my boys, so I understand how important trust and communication are when selecting a sitter. Rest assured, your fur babies will be in great hands with me! I look forward to chatting more and getting to know your kitties!
Best,
Victoria
Learn More About Victoria
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve been cat sitting since I was a teenager and I’ve been cat sitting for Meowtel specifically since November 2023. I have experience with cats with feline asthma.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
As a cat owner myself, I completely understand how nerve-wracking it can be leaving your fur babies behind when you leave for a trip. I’m happy I get to give owners some peace of mind and I also just enjoy building relationships with new kitties, giving them comfort and something to look forward to until their mom/dad returns.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes! Ryu & Yoshi (shameless plug - @ryunyoshi on IG)
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Ask as many questions as you want. We are here to make your lives easier. Also, if you have a strict routine for your cats, don’t be shy to print out a whole list of instructions! I do that myself when I go out of town. And as a cat sitter, I find it very helpful as I can check tasks off of a list.

This was our first time booking Victoria, and it was also the longest time we’ve ever been apart from our cat, Frankie so it definitely felt like a risk but it was absolutely worth the reward. Victoria kept us consistently updated on Frankie’s eating, playing, litter box, and overall well-being, along with lots of photos that gave us so much peace of mind. She was also flexible and open to working with us to adjust both her schedule and Frankie’s routine to best suit his needs during the holiday season, which we truly appreciated. We couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you, Victoria!

Victoria was fantastic!! We needed a sitter for a holiday drop in and Victoria went above and beyond. She has wonderful knowledge of cat behavior and mannerisms and gave our cat so much love and attention. I adored her photos and videos and everything she did to leave the apartment cleaner than she found it. From the bottom of my heart thank you!

Victoria is a really great cat sitter. Our three have only recently arrived in New York, so still getting used to our apartment and one of them is both elderly and a fussy eater. None of this was an issue for Victoria -- from day one we were getting photos that showed our cats had completely adopted her. They even seemed to be posing for the camera! Victoria went the extra mile with our elderly cat, taking the plate of food upstairs to her if required and checking that she had eaten her meal. Great communication, and we appreciated her keeping the litter trays in good order. Victoria kindly came round for a meet and greet before we left, which was great -- and we were struck by how she asked sensible questions and listened carefully to our answers. She's clearly very experienced, but also as a cat owner and lover, understands that every cat and household is different. We would highly recommend Victoria, and we (and our cats) would be delighted to invite her back to cat sit for us again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
- Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.
All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.
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.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
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!

Victoria has always been a trustworthy, reliable, and thorough caretaker for my cat. I know my cat feels comfortable around Victoria.

Victoria was awesome, friendly, warm, understood all of our cats' needs. We were in the middle of integrating our new kitten to the house and at the same time our senior cat was sick, so the routine was tricky and changing. Victoria was super detailed and communicative which made making decisions while away a breeze. We came home last night to happy kitties. Highly recommend!
Miriam

Victoria went above and beyond these last couple of days while I was away. She took such good care of my kitty and sent me a detailed message about each visit and a lot of adorable pictures. My fur baby would wait for Victoria by the door and I can tell that she really liked her. I would highly recommend Victoria!!

Victoria is such a kind person! I felt so comfortable leaving Skelly in her care. I received wonderful updates and the cutest pictures- it put me at ease. I came back to a very happy cat. Victoria helped keep things tidy and our fur baby with a companion! We had to extend Skelly’s care an extra day and Victoria was so accommodating and was able to care for Skelly. very grateful! will definitely connect with Victoria in the future (:

This was my first time getting a professional catsitter for my Mai Tai and Victoria was absolutely a life saver. I was so relieved to have found her as she was so quick to respond and was so friendly and easy to work with. She seems very experienced and was a great problem solver when my cat was being mischievous (sneaking into the lower cabinet and stealing food!). Would recommend Victoria for any of your catsitting needs!

It was so great to have Victoria take care of our cats while we were travelling. 2 of our cats are super shy. Victoria is very patient and let them take the time to get to know her. When we didn't have the best Internet connection while traveling, she sent us photos & videos via text messages so we were not left worrying about our cats 😁

Victoria is a lovely person and a wonderful cat sitter! She met with us immediately for a reservation over a month away. Then we needed a last minute sitter and she was able to accommodate us. Our kitty warmed up to her very quickly! Victoria followed our instructions perfectly and sent very cute pictures! We recommend her highly and will definitely be using Victoria again.
