I'm Rukana | Cat Sitting in Sunnyside, NY

Rukana's Reviews
Rachel
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!
Kahmeeah
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!

My second time hiring Rukana and would definitely hire again! Very responsive, and takes care of my kitties perfectly. Thanks Rukana!
Zak
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!!

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.
