I'm Ruth Anne | Cat Sitting in Rego Park, NY

LOOK NO FURTHER FOR AN EXPERIENCED SITTER! Currently, I provide services across all 5 New York City boroughs based on availability and schedule constraints. Growing up in a pet-friendly family, I have long loved animals. I have a comprehensive background of training and caring for cats, dogs, horses, guinea pigs, chameleons, and many more pets. Currently, I am a proud mommy of three cats. With my work-from-home schedule, I spend a lot of time at home with my feline friends. Each one has a unique, purr-fect personality. I am dependable and responsible, taking care to pay attention to detail to ensure your feline friend(s) feels happy, comfortable, and loved. Having cats of my own, I understand the importance of routine and respect. I would love the opportunity to spend dedicated-time with your cat(s) (and best friend!). It is often expensive to ensure pets get the love and care they deserve, I am happy to...

Learn More About Ruth Anne

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I'm the proud mommy of 3 cats. Each one has a unique, purr-fect personality. My cats are all named after 80s musicians - Bowie, Prince, and Lennox (after Annie Lennox from the Eurythmics). I frequently work virtually from home which offers more quality time with my kittens. I understand how hard it is to be away from your kittens / cats.

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

My philosophy is FIRST and FOREMOST to always respect the animal, each with its unique personality. I have worked with shy cats that need time before they come near me and Iā€™ve also worked with cats that completely hide throughout the reservation. I find my approach varies based on the cats needs and what they are communicating. But I NEVER chase or intrude on a cat's private space. I often play the ā€˜Calm My Catā€™ playlist to provide white noise for any loud / startling sounds (e.g., opening a can or moving litter around). I also happily sit and patiently wait, staying an extra few minutes if the cat approaches at the end of the visit. Another thing that works is making soft eye contact and blinking at the cat, I read thatā€™s how cats smile when theyā€™re comfortable.

Ruth Anne did an amazing job taking care of our two kitties and gave us detailed updates along the way. She also handled our big guy's insulin shots with no problems!

I had never used an app like Meowtel before to find a sitter and was a bit nervous but Ruth Anne made the whole experience great and put me at ease. From the beginning she was extremely professional and communicative. During the visits she sent many photos and asked all the right questions of details I hadnā€™t thought to write down or were confusing. She was also great in keeping me up to date on the timing of when she would arrive. And most importantly, she followed my cats long medication schedule to a T. I also very much appreciate how understanding and flexible Ruth Anne was when I had a medical situation arrive with my cat 2 days before our reservation that caused me to need to change up my dates last minute. Iā€™m very glad I have Ruth Anne booked already for a future visit as Iā€™m looking forward to working with her again.

Ruth Anne is an incredible cat sitter - the best, really - and has become my kittyā€™s best friend on our first trip away from him. Despite my kittyā€™s separation anxiety and poop issues, Ruth Anne helped him take all of his medication without issue and encouraged him to play and have fun! It was clear that Ruth Anne has a special touch with cats - I could see through the many many photos she sent that he had fallen in love with her. She really went above and beyond - each update was so rich with detail, even going as far as to describe his condition (with poop pics!), his mood, and what toys they played with that day! It was such a relief to know that she would be there to care for him, and it really helped ease our minds and allowed us to enjoy our time away. She went above and beyond each day, and even made sure everything was clean and taken care of upon our return (she took out the garbage and refreshed our litter genie! An angel!). I will definitely seek Ruth Anne out the next time we need a sitter - if youā€™re looking for a kind, patient, detail-oriented cat whisperer sitter, look no further, seriously!

Ruth Anne is the BEST! My boys, Lexi and Zander were so well taken care of that they greeted me shyly at first and warmed up quickly. I attribute this to the wonderful care that was given by Ruth Anne! I would not hesitate to recommend her to my friends, and only hope that Ruth Anne will be available for mu future cat care needs

Frequently Asked Questions

Rego Park cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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.
