I'm Lydia | Cat Sitting in Schenectady, NY
Hi! I cannot wait to take care of your cats and go the extra mile to make them as comfortable as possible! I am in the Schenectady area but am willing to travel about 30 min to Troy/Albany etc or anywhere as needed. I am available for morning and evening care on weekdays (before 9 am, after 4pm) and anytime on weekends. I've been a cat lover and owner my whole life. I currently have two of my own, Benny and Sam, a spicy giner and a tabby kitten. Dealt with all ages including kitten and senior cat care. Special diets, declawed, shy cats I am very familiar with. My cats are treated...

Lydia's Reviews
Meowtel
Lydia is a background-checked cat sitter in the Schenectady area. Their profile has been verified and their references have been checked by Meowtel.
Sanjna
I think Lydia is excellent as she has multiple years of experience both for her personal cats and her clients. She is reliable and very communicative. She will triple check what food to give what cat, play with them, clean the litter box, and groom them. When I travel I do not have stress because I know I can trust Lydia with my cats and belongings. She is a very compassionate person towards all animals and ensures that all their needs are met before leaving. She also drives half an hour both ways to take care of my cats which I am very appreciative of. Lydia would make an excellent pet sitter.
Alex
Lydia is an extremely devoted and caring cat lover and I would trust her with my most precious babies any day! She is intelligent and detail-oriented (she has a PhD!) and very kind and loving with the little kitties.

Frequently Asked Questions
Schenectady cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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.
