We are so glad we had Ru taking care of our babies while on vacation. She is great at making them feel comfortable enough to come out and enjoy a treat (they’re very shy). We loved all the videos and pictures she sent with each visit too!

Rukana is an amazing cat sitter. This is our second time working with her. It is wonderful to have peace of mind when traveling halfway around the world, that all is well at home with the kitties. She provided daily updates and videos. Highly recommend and I look forward to booking Rukana again the next time we are away.

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!

Fantastic! I could tell my boys were very comfortable around her and well taken care of. Rue was very attentive and flexible with scheduling. I got plenty of cute pics and updates that made me feel comfortable while I was away from my cats. Would definitely book again and recommend to anyone in the NYC area looking for a reliable cat sitter. thanks again!!! ☺️

Janai
Ru is amazing!! I am such a helicopter mom so i was super nervous to leave the kitties with anyone. I also have a RUNNER so it made things even more nerve -racking. Rukana was great with them and had a great technique for preventing slippery little guys from running out of the house. Shes so sweet and responsive. My shy girl ran away from her most days- but not all! And my little ham loved all the attention she gave him. Hes not super big on toys so he loved being spoken to and rubbed. I dont go on trips often but i 100% would book Rukana again!

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!

Melanie
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!

Rue did amazing with our cat Milo! we had just moved in to town and had a trip scheduled for our wedding and were super nervous to leave him! Rue was able to connect with Milo very quickly and be the best caretaker for him! she would send us daily updates and noticed so many details about Milo which gave us a lot of comfort and assurance that he was in fantastic hands! we highly recommend Rue to care for your cat! I know we will connect with Rue again in the future for Milo!

We are so happy to have found Rue as our catsitter. She took care of our kitties for 9 days while we were away and we came back to very calm and happy cats. Our boy Roar was a little shy at the beginning but Rue knew how to win his trust and make him feel comfortable. We got so many videos, photos and updates that gave us peace of mind and let us see how good our kitties were being taken care of. Rue, you are the best!!!!

Rue took great care of my cats. One of them is very shy and did not want to come out for the first few days but Rue made sure she ate her food in her hiding places and Rue was able to hand feed her treats. She did a great job!

Ru was amazing and took great care of both my cats, including one who requires oral medication 2x daily! She followed all my instructions perfectly and went above and beyond to ensure the cats were safe and happy at all times. Ru also sent lots of cute pictures and updates daily which helped to make my entire trip stress free. I could tell my cats really loved her too! I would absolutely recommend Ru and hope to definitely book with her again in the future!

everything was smooth and rue was just awesome with our kitty. she’s shy and a bit territorial, but by the end it seemed rue was able to get her to be friendly. Riis is hard to care for and other people who have helped have been scared off by her challenges but not rue. the vids and pics were so helpful along w the long messages!!

Second time booking Rue to watch over our older kitty, and she continues to put our minds at ease. We know he's in good hands when Rue comes over! The pictures and videos are so appreciated, and they show just how much our cat has warmed up to her these last two visits. Definitely going to continue booking Rue for all our cat watching needs :)

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 $32.00. 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.
