I'm Leigh | Cat Sitting in Port Chester, NY

I’ve had the privilege of having cats around my entire life. Throughout the years, there’s been many I’ve become close with - whether it be a personal cat, a rescue cat, or even a street cat I happen to spot outside. To me, it doesn’t matter what the circumstances are, showing care and love to animals comes naturally. I’ve formed connections with almost every animal I’ve met, whether my own or someone else’s. Over the last 10 years I have been actively involved in my community working towards reducing the number of homeless cats through TNR and rescue. I am proud to be an advocate for adoptio...

Learn More About Leigh

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

I’ve had cats in my life since I was born - I’ve been caring for them for about 28 years!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Little Girl! Shes a calico, a rescue cat who was on the streets for about 7 years! I also have Meow Meow who lives with my parents close by!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Ask questions, meet the sitter first, see how they interact with your cats as well as with yourself. Not everyone is a good fit for every cat household - that’s what meet and greets are for! Pay attention to the detail of the sitter when meeting them - do they ask questions? Eye contact? Body language? This is the person you are going to be trusting the care of your furry family members to!

Many thanks to Leigh—really appreciate it! There was a bit of an issue with the food dispenser at home, and I reached out to Leigh at the last minute—she came right away and made sure the kittens got their meal.

I have had other cat sitters in the past so I know when my cat has been happy or stressed while I'm away. When I got home,. I immediately knew he had been very well taken care of! I have only great things to say about Leigh and I'm sure my cat Ginger would agree!

My door has a pretty complicated design and is super hard to open, but Leigh was patient and got it all sorted out. She also took great care of the kittens and sent me adorable videos! They were so happy to see her, tails up high ! Huge thanks to Leigh!

Leigh did a wonderful job with our 2 very different cats. Each day, she sent pictures (including finding our very shy cat), gave us updates, and was very responsive. Would use her again. Highly recommended.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Port Chester cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $34.00. 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.
