I'm Arianna
Cat Sitting in Troy, NY
I have experience caring for kittens, senior cats, and everything in between. Whether your cat needs some space, cuddles, or has zoomies for hours on end I’ve got you covered! It doesn’t matter if your cat is more timid and needs some extra patience while warming up to me or is very high energy - I am up for the task and will always care for your pets the way I treat my own.
I also partner with local organizations in the area to help TNR stray cats and have previous experience fostering kittens found during this process. Specifically, I have volunteered with Kitten Angels, Brennan Humane Society, and Brooklyn Animal Action(to name a few)... Hey there fellow cat lovers!😸

Every cat visit will include feeding, water refreshing, litter cleaning, lots of play time/cuddles, and detailed updates! I can also administer medications if needed or handle any special needs required for your furry friend. Some of the medications I have experience giving are topical flea management treatments, various medications in pill form, asthma pumps, and liquid medications administered with a dropper/luer or subcutaneously.
Additionally, I’d be more than happy to take care of any household needs for you while you’re away such as collecting mail, disposing of the trash, watering plants, etc. I always try to leave a place cleaner than I found it and will be sure to pick up around your home as I go(especially for those of you who have messy eaters or litter box users).
While I am especially passionate about felines, I am also able to care for and have experience with dogs, reptiles, fish, and rodents should they need looking after as well.
I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends soon!
Learn More About Arianna
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I really love getting to know and appreciate each cats temperament and quirks. I’m so fascinated by how similar and unique each feline can be!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Currently I have four resident kitties named Mochi, Nyla, Nimbus, and Monk. Mochi’s breed is Somali and she is an independent little lady that really makes you earn her affection! Nyla looks like your average Tabby cat but has so much spunk and purrsonailty! Nimbus is my sweet FIV+ senior boy. Since the day we met wherever I go he’s not too far behind. Then I have my newest addition, Monk. Him still being a kitten brings such a fun energy to the house.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
I would always suggest being very detailed and have no fears of providing too much information to your sitter! As sitters, we are guests in you and your furry friend(s) home so please let us know any seemingly minor details about how we can make your kitties more cozy while they’re in our care. There is no such thing as too much info!!
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! I stay local for for most holidays as I know many kitties especially need a sitter during those days. Always happy to help provide some comfort while owners are away :)
What is your favorite cat toy?
My cats are still as fascinated with spring toys now as they were when I first bought them! Lately, the girls are really enjoying the KONG Purrsuit Whirlwind Cat Toy as well :)

Arianna is a life saver! my cat had massive behavior challenges - peed and pooped everywhere but litter box - for almost a month. I tried everything to no avail. Arianna was able to correct it within days. I am wowed by and thankful for her magic. thank you Arianna!

Arianna was wonderful with our needy cat through the holidays. He is very social and Arianna showered him with love and lots of belly rubs. She sent lots of cute photos and videos that we looked forward to every day. I appreciated that she cleaned up multiple litterbox and toilet paper messes created by Rickie and she also was kind enough to bring up our packages and set up a new toy that we ordered. Thank you Arianna!

Initially, I had many reservations utilizing a service that requires access into your home. However, when Arianna and I met for our initial meeting many of those reservations were put at ease. Arianna presented with confidence, reassurance, and quickly demonstrated her experience as a Sitter. She took notes as well as reviewed all of the services (i.e., litter box cleaning and litter disposal) she provides. One of my boys (Sammi) is shy around strangers; however, during Arianna's second meeting he was less hesitant. Arianna sent photos and text messages detailing my boys' statuses on every visit. She even described her observations of my cats' use of their litterbox, of which is most helpful to know as this demonstrates regularity between eating and digesting their food. In the event I require a Sitter in the future, I am DEFINITELY requesting Arianna again and I strongly suggest that others do as well.

Arianna went the extra mile when it came to taking care of Mr. Gatsby, spending an hour coaxing him out for his medicine via slow blinks alongside a lot of love and patience. It’s quite hard to earn Mr. G’s trust, but she did, and I think that it speaks volumes as to her ability as a caretaker. I strongly recommend her if you’re looking for an awesome catsitter!

I was going out of town and needed someone who could help alleviate my anxiety regarding my cat’s daily medication administration. ARIANNA TO RHE RESCUE! I left my cat with my mother in park slope and it was the best arrangement I could have hoped for. The following is my mom’s review: Arianna came to my apartment in park slope six times to administer medications to my daughter's cat, mr. bear. she was wonderful-very caring, knowledgeable, gentle, and prompt. she always called before arriving and took pictures of mr. bear to send to my daughter. this service was a life saver as i was very fearful about administering his meds.

Arianna was amazing! Our two kitties can be pretty shy around new people, but she coaxed them out more and more each visit. She was always quick to reply, arrived when she said she would, and sent great updates and pictures/videos! I absolutely recommend her and hope to be able to book with her in the future!

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:

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.
Troy cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!

Arianna was an awesome caretaker for my cats! I was super nervous because I had never left them for that long before, but Arianna sent really thoughtful and detailed updates. She sent plenty of photos and videos and was always super responsive when I would text her. One of my cats who is usually shy really warmed up to Arianna with no problem. Overall I had a great experience with Arianna as a cat sitter!
