I'm Pinky | Cat Sitting in Staten Island, NY

Planning your well-deserved vacation or need a getaway trip from all your responsibilities even if it means to leave your lovely cat(s) for a short while? I'm Pinky and 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 15 years old and she loves to lounge around. Ollie, my 2nd cat, is 8 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 do understand how pet owners feel when they need to be away. I get emotional at the beginning of every fun trip I go on, just because I want to spend more time with the cats. I can make sure they're 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 worrie...

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 15 years old and another named Ollivander or Ollie for short, he's 8 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.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I'm very much a homebody. I love spending time locally and exploring new areas or restaurants, but tend to avoid traveling during "real" holidays.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Staten Island 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.
