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...

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat sitting for almost a year now and have loved every day of it! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting so many different types of kitties with varying personalities and have loved being given the opportunity to grow within my experiences with them!

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

I have taken care of many sweet cats that have a bit more trouble than others when it comes to meeting new people and always make sure they’re given the same care and attentiveness all the other cats are given. I make sure to give them lots of space and time to feel comfortable with me entering their environment and always make sure to listen to what they’re telling me using their body language so they don’t feel pressured by me in any way.

Rukana was wonderful to our cat and made sure to play with her and give her treats so she wouldn't be so sad. We really appreciated the photos and videos she sent us. I would highly recommend Rukana to watch over your cats too!

Always going to recommend Rukana! She's my first pick every time I need someone to watch my cats. She's professional, attentive, she follows directions perfectly and helps my old lady cat get her medicine -- and best of all, you can tell she really, really loves cats.

Rue is awesome! Super trustworthy and dependable. My cat is super shy so she is taking a while to warm up to Rue but it is going well. She definitely likes her and I will definitely be asking her to catsit again!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Sunnyside cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $34.00. 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.
