Christine's New York Kitty Sitting

I'm Christine

Cat Sitting in Rego Park, NY

My two sweet kitties are Gustave and Button. I love their hilarious antics. It's so much fun to watch them play and chase each other around the house. I've had both since they were kittens, and they are beloved family members.

Years ago my husband and I would walk our cat Teddy, a beautiful Snowshoe cat, at a college campus in southern California. Yes, we would walk Teddy on a harness, and he became something of a celebrity! Most people would do a "double take" because at first glance they thought he was a dog! On the campus were also many homeless kitties that I and others would feed and look after. We could sit quietly in the presence of the cats and just be. It was so soothing, and one of our favorite experiences ever. One day, a sweet little tuxedo cat, Lily, claimed us as her humans...

It was so soothing, and one of our favorite experiences ever. One day, a sweet little tuxedo cat, Lily, claimed us as her humans. Although a stray, she would sit in our laps for hours and soak up all the love and attention. We knew we had to look for a home for her, and we found one. Ours!

Gustave has a kind of bronchitis or asthma and he gets a pill and a few puffs of an inhaler each day. I have given subcutaneous fluids to a kitty with kidney issues, so I guess those might be considered special qualifications.

My primary occupation is in sales/customer service, part-time. The days I'm available are pretty flexible if you need someone to visit your kitty(s) in the morning and at night. I can be available afternoons if need be, depending on my regular job's schedule for the week. Please feel free to ask! :)

I live in Queens and either Manhattan or Queens work best for me. In Manhattan, midtown is best. I'm vaccinated and plan on getting boosted again soon. Even though New York has relaxed the mask mandate, I still feel much safer wearing mine whenever indoors.

I'm so glad Christine was available for this long sit. Leaving your cat with someone you don't know, especially a cat with medical needs that need to be attended to twice a day can be jarring... but from the meet and greet I'd knew Window would be in good hands. Christine was always very communicative, sending me daily updates with photos and adorable videos. She'd let me know if something felt unusual right away. She was also very flexible with my ever moving moving, which was much appreciated. I'd book her again!

Christine was an absolutely wonderful caretaker for my fur baby who gets very anxious when I travel out of town. She was so gentle, attentive, and communicative throughout. I received plenty of detailed updates, photos and videos, which put me at complete ease. I will definitely ask her to care for my kitty again.

It's the first time I'm leaving my cat with a sitter. Being a professional catsitter myself, I can be a bit meticulous with my cat's care and how I treat my clients' cats. That said --- Christine did a wonderful job!! I was worried Tiny would be too scared or shy around her that she won't eat, but Tiny warmed up to her immediately! She's easy to communicate with and sent lots of updates during her visit. She's definitely the kind of catsitter that a fellow sitter would recommend. She is just so patient and loving and sweet with Tiny, I feel so at ease whenever she does her visits. That's the kind of feeling that you want when you're away, and she just absolutely delivers! I look forward to working with her more again in the future <3

Christine is an incredible caretaker, and our cats absolutely loved her. She kept them well fed with clean water and a clean litter box every day and then made sure to give them play time and affection. Pictures were sent every day, and Christine even made herself available when our return home was recommended. Highly recommend if you want some peace of mind in knowing that your cats feel loved and safe. Thank you so much, Christine!

Christine did a phenomenal job sitting for my cat Leo! I was really worried about leaving him for 11 days. Christine was diligent in visiting him every day at the same time at my request. She sent me pictures and updates every day as well and really put me at ease. I highly recommend her and definitely hire her again!

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.

Rego Park cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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!
