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.

Always tough leaving your cat for 2.5 weeks but knowing she will be well cared for and thriving makes it do much easier. Ruth Anne is a real buddy to Sky and sends wonderful updates that we look forward to every day. Outstanding cat sitter.

Ruth Anne took great care of our cats, with lots of pictures and detailed notes every day. We almost felt like we were having little daily visits with our cats when she was there. Our cats can be shy with strangers, but one of them came right up to her the first day, and both cats seemed very comfortable with her after a couple of days. She also came at a consistent time each day and let us known when she was on her way over, which was nice so we knew when to expect updates. We'll definitely book her again for our next trip!

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

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.
