Cat Sitting in Poughkeepsie, NY

Hi there!

* If my schedule does not list availablity please feel free to message me and see if I’m available!* (:

I have been a cat lover my whole life, so much so that it's a huge part of my identity! My soul cat, Gracie, was with me for 18 years.
Every day for over five years together we tackled hyperthyroidism (and the joys of giving a picky cat medication!!) and kidney disease. She has prepared me well for giving medication to other cats!

I am experienced in cats that have special needs and require space. Velvet, my other senior baby, is a tortie and has quite the attitude, so I am experienced with any torti-tude your cat may have! Both of my kitties received a kidney care diet, and Velvet gets a special topper on her food to entice her to eat...

I am experienced in cats that have special needs and require space. Velvet, my other senior baby, is a tortie and has quite the attitude, so I am experienced with any torti-tude your cat may have! Both of my kitties received a kidney care diet, and Velvet gets a special topper on her food to entice her to eat. As I have senior kitties, I am pretty accustomed to kitties who need medications or alterations to their food and do so every day.

Cats are a huge part of my life, and I have been cat sitting professionally with Meowtel for several years now. I have absolutely loved meeting every single kitty I have cared for! My friends & clients have even dubbed me the cat whisperer as I am often hearing "he/she never lets me do that!"

** Fair warning, you WILL receive as many photogenic pictures of your cat as possible ;D I am known for that!


I currently live in Poughkeepsie and am willing to travel to other parts of the Hudson Valley! If you found my card out in the wild but I don’t appear in your area, just shoot me a message and I’ll see what I can do!

Taking care of kitties is like a dream come true for me. No matter how clawful, bratty, or shy every kitty is a good kitty in my eyes. When I am in their (and your!) home I take the utmost care to be as clean, calm, and respectful as humanely possible.

I have experience with pill form medication as well as insulin injections!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to meet cats of all types! No one’s personality is the same! When a shy baby gets to know me and starts to trust me… there’s nothing better!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My soul cat Gracie passed at 18 in 2025. There’s no a single day that goes by that I don’t miss her greatly 💗

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I get down on their level and I never push. If I’m able to let them sniff me I do! I NEVER force pets on a shy baby, instead I just hang out in their space so they can become accustomed to my scent and see that I’m a friend and not a foe! Treats help a ton, too… hehe.

Kitty was the best cat sitter to my girls! She spent lots of time with them, sent me many updates, and took the time to get to know them. I was very nervous leaving my cats behind on my trip, but when I returned, my girls were very happy! Kitty took such great care of them!

Kitty is an outstanding cat sitter! I had to travel unexpectedly and stayed away much longer than expected -- over two weeks -- and Kitty stepped up to the plate. She visited my boys twice a day not only to administe their medications but even took the initiative to get a different cat food for the one who was not eating enough. He loved it! She provided clever enrichment activities for and played with them every day. I told her I was going to have to up my game to match her white-glove service when I got home. 😼 I cannot imagine a better cat sitter.

Kitty did an amazing job with my cat! He needed to get a liquid med into his mouth once a day and he could be a bit of a pain trying to catch but she was super patient and kept me very well informed about how he was doing, his appetite and litter box usage! She went above and beyond to make sure he was able to get his meds and sent me a lot of pictures!

Kitty was great !!! I knew right away from the meet and greet our cats would be well taken care of. She managed our crazy feeding situation, anxious kitty and separation of some of them with ease. She sent lots of pictures and made us at ease during our time away. She cleaned all the bowls and managed the crazy litter boxes which was nice to come home to As a Meowtel sitter myself I very much appreciated Kitty and would highly recommend her to everyone and will also use her again in the future next time we need someone to take care of our kitty crew.

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.

Poughkeepsie cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
