I'm Rukana | Cat Sitting in Sunnyside, NY

Rukana is trustworthy, skilled with cat behavior, and naturally in love with the feline family.
Pamela
Ru is a cat whisperer! She knows kitties! She was attentive and loving with my anxious little guy. She even received a chewy order for me unboxed it and set it up. She is reliable and trustworthy. She will put your mind at ease!

Rukana was an amazing cat sitter for my two kitties! She updated me promptly & even was able to come an extra day due to flight changes. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!

Frequently Asked Questions
The average price for a cat sitter is $32.00.
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.
