Cat Sitting in Staten Island, NY

Let me love your cats so that I can save money from constantly going to cat cafés..

Planning your well-deserved vacation or need a getaway trip from all your responsibilities even if it means to leave your lovely cats for a short while?

I'm here to help! I am a pet mom of 2 cats and 2 dogs: Kina, Ollie, Dominique, and Arlo.

Kina, my senior cat, is 17 years old and she loves to lounge around. Ollie, my 2nd cat, is 11 years old, and loves to play as well as cuddle.

I love animals and would love to take care of your animal family members too! I grew up with 3 dogs, so I always had animals to take care of since I was a kid growing up in Queens, New York.

Every time I travel (which is not often) I miss my little animals, so I understand how pet owners feel when they need to be away. I can make sure your cats are in safe hands with my direct care and provide you with all the updates you would want with lots of pictures and videos at your request.

I like to keep things clean and so your litter box will cause no worries for me. I can tackle any kitty's mess. A clean kitty is a happy and healthy kitty. I also love to play with and have cuddle time with cats, leave it to me.

So, when can I meet your cats?

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.

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.

Staten Island cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!
