I'm Rukana | Cat Sitting in Sunnyside, NY
Hey there! My name’s Rukana but you can call me Rue and I absolutely love cats. I have one little boy myself who has just turned two named KitKat. He’s a sensitive cat and has given me loads of experience dealing with his food allergies and giving medications to kitties who may need just a lil extra help. I’ve got experience hand feeding kittens as well thanks to him and have gained experience with a multitude of different cats with meowtel varying f...

Rue is great! She gives very thorough updates. She does a great job managing our cats meds and coaxing her out during her visits.

Rukana did an awesome job. She took care of our cat's special feeding needs and gave him medicine when needed. She texted daily so we knew everything was OK. She went above and beyond looking after our apartment. 100% Recommend!

Rue is the best! I am so glad we booked with her. I’d never left my kitty alone for more than a weekend before, so I was nervous about my ten-day trip outside of the country, but Rue put all my fears at ease. She was super communicative, sent fabulous pics and videos of my happy kitty that brightened my day, and bonded with my sweet girl. Upon return I could tell that she was very well cared for the whole time! Rue was also amazing with little extra things like grabbing the mail and some packages, handling stinky garbage—these little things make such a big difference when you’re thousands of miles away. If Rue is available, don’t hesitate to book with her!

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
