Learn More About Pinky

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Cats have so many different personalities. I love getting to know new cats and befriending them. They are just incredibly adorable and interesting!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats. One named Kina, she's 17 years old and another named Ollivander or Ollie for short, he's 11 years old. They were both given to me by my friends because of their new life transitions. I fell in love with cats after taking care of Kina first. As I grow older, I find myself becoming more of a cat person and relate to them far more now.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Ask questions. Speak your mind especially during the meet and greet. We as cat sitters want to make sure you're comfortable in hiring us and are not afraid to provide answers!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I enjoy getting to know cat parents. I am open to answering any questions. I pride myself in being proactive and efficient in responding in time. Typically, we will schedule a meet and greet so we can discuss expectations and I can meet your cat(s).

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

I give them space and time! I can still love them from afar, we don't need to be touching haha!

Pinky is a wonderful cat sitter, I am so grateful to have found her! She is a tried and true cat expert and able to handle complicated instructions related to medications, multi-cat households, twice a day visits and other sensitive needs. During our recent trip, she really went above and beyond. Not only did she send very thorough updates with full details about what she did during the visit, she also brought in our mail, washed some dishes and took the batteries out of a broken smoke detector that started beeping while we were gone. In a very sweet gesture, she also left us a small gift and thoughtful card for the baby we're expecting. Leaving my cats behind when traveling is really hard and I always worry so much about their well being, especially given their health concerns, but after this experience, I know they're in good hands with Pinky. Good help is truly hard to find and I feel lucky to have found her!! I would definitely book her again and already have 🙂

Pinky worked hard to provide me with daily updates, including pictures and videos which was so nice. It means a lot to have peace of mind while you’re traveling knowing your pet is safe and cared for. She was meticulous in her care of my cat, Chester. Will absolutely be using her services again, she was extremely trustworthy.

Pinky is amazing, I was nervous leaving my cat alone for the first time but she provided so much peace of mind and took beyond good care of my cat. He’s not skiddish usually but does take him a while to warm up to new people. He warmed up to Pinky super quickly!! I think Pinky just has a way about her that makes him comfortable (making me comfortable in return). She took care of all my asks and then some, 10/10 would recommend Pinky if you want to feel at ease leaving your kitty.

Pinky was the best cat sitter we could ask for! My shy cats loved her, 1 of them even blocked Pinky from leaving! She plays with them and gives them the attention they want and need. She’s also very conscientious about our home, brought in mail and took care of things we needed. She really kept our minds at ease!!

Pinky is amazing as always. She feeds my cats, gives them fresh water, deals with the litter, and plays with them. She keeps me updated and sends me awesome photos and videos. But she also goes above and beyond. I had a carbon monoxide detector start beeping while I was away, due to a low battery. Pinky figured out how to dismantle it, went out and bought new batteries for it, and replaced the batteries for me. She takes out the garbage, vacuums up cat litter, takes in Amazon packages, and so much more. I wouldn’t trust my cats or my home with anyone else.

Pinky is by far the best cat sitter we have ever had. My cats are older and she handled them with such care. They typically are so stressed when we come back and although they were happy to see us there wasn’t a stressful bone in their body’s. Pinky went above and beyond with such attention to detail vacuuming up litter and keeping our hiuse looking amazing. She even sent a pic of our hamster, a nice surprise to my daughter. She was on time and communicative. I will definitely be using her again and HIGHLY recommend.

Pinky is absolutely amazing! We hired her to help us take care of our parents’ cats while they were both in rehab. Pinky went above and beyond to care for the cats, sending updates during the whole session. The cats fell in love with her and already miss her! She truly loves animals. It was so reassuring to know they were in good hands while we were going through this medical hardship.

Frequently Asked Questions

Staten Island cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free 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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
