Cat Sitting in Tarrytown, NY

Hello! As a devoted cat parent of six years to my own two very different kitties, Luna (the shy introvert) and Bubba (the playful cuddle-bug). I know that no two cats are alike. I specialize in adapting my care to your cat's unique personality, whether they need quiet companionship or energetic playtime.

Hello! As a devoted cat parent of six years to my own two very different kitties, Luna (the shy introvert) and Bubba (the playful cuddle-bug). I know that no two cats are alike. I specialize in adapting my care to your cat's unique personality, whether they need quiet companionship or energetic playtime.

My Services:
Feeding & Care: I am experienced in feeding both wet and dry food routines.

Litter & Hygiene: I take pride in keeping the litter box pristine, scooping every other day (or daily upon request).

Medication: I am fully comfortable administering oral medicines, I give my cat Luna Atopica medicine orally daily.

My Trust-Building Strategy:
I prioritize your cat's autonomy and comfort above all else. I always arrive calmly and let the cat initiate interaction on their own terms. I utilize soft talking, slow blinks, and interactive play to build trust at the cat's pace, ensuring they feel safe and secure in their own home.

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

With six years of dedicated experience in feline care, I specialize in managing diverse feline personalities and complex households. My background includes caring for kittens requiring high energy play, senior cats needing gentle companionship, and multi-cat households with specific dietary and litter routines.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Living with two cats for six years, I have developed an 'airlock' mentality. I am hyper-aware of door-darting behavior. I always enter the home slowly, checking the floor level immediately, and ensuring the door is securely latched behind me before moving further into the house. I treat your home with the utmost respect. I confirm all windows and doors are locked before I leave. For key security, I prefer using lockboxes or secure digital codes, and I never attach your address or the cat’s name to physical keys. I always keep the contact info for your preferred veterinarian and the nearest 24/7 animal emergency clinic (like the Veterinary Emergency Group in White Plains) on my phone.

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

Having raised my own cat, Bubba, from a very timid kitten, I deeply understand that anxious cats need time to build trust. My approach is entirely cat-led: No Forced Interaction: I never force myself upon a timid cat. I allow them to approach me on their own terms, respecting their need for space. Calm Presence: I often sit quietly on the floor near them, ignoring them while reading or looking at my phone, to get them accustomed to my scent and presence without pressure. Low Body Language: I sit or crouch down to their level, avoiding towering over them, which can be intimidating. Building Association: I use high-value, smelly treats or interactive wand toys to create a positive association between my presence and fun or delicious rewards. Patience: I understand that building trust can take time, and I am comfortable letting the cat dictate the pace.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Tarrytown cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!
