I'm Emmie
Cat Sitting in West Babylon, NY
I have owned cats for almost 20 years. They are my fur baby children. I have been called the cat whisperer many times by others. I have a gentle and patient way with them that they appreciate. I am a ... Hi there! I'm Emmie. Anyone who knows me knows I am a huge cat person. I have 3 rescued kitties of my own. They were very scared when I got them but over time they turned to mushes because they feel safe and loved.
I have owned cats for almost 20 years. They are my fur baby children. I have been called the cat whisperer many times by others. I have a gentle and patient way with them that they appreciate. I am a slow blinker and so cats feel extremely comfortable with me. I volunteer as a cat transporter in my spare time. I always give lots of scratches and rubs if they are willing. I know your baby or babies will be happy in my care.
I work as a freelance graphic designer and I own an online retail business. I have transportation as well. I currently reside in Nassau County but I am open to other places on Long Island.
Learn More About Emmie
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting for friends for years and about a year on this app. I would snuggle kitties all day if I could.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
The cats! I just love them all.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
My 3 kitties are Nugget, Nibbles, and Squeaky. Nugget and Nibbles were fosters but of course I fell in love with them (who was I kidding?) Squeaky had 2 rare birth defects on his throat and he had 2 major surgeries which is why he was making squeaking noises. The vet was so amazing and kind to perform these surgeries on him pro bono. I will be forever grateful. They didn't think he would live very long but now he is old, perfectly healthy and living his best life. He smacks me when I don't pay attention to him right away.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
One of my cats from a long time ago was constantly trying to run outside so I am naturally extremely vigilant about these things. No open windows or doors.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I am very quiet about my movements. I talk in a high pitched kitty voice and I make sure to do the slow blink many times to make them understand that I am not a threat. My 3 cats are all very timid and so I am more than used to handling this type of kitty.

Emmie did a great job as usual. This was my longest trip away since my cat was diagnosed with diabetes. She is great with sending videos and administering my senior cat his insulin. It's obvious my cats enjoy her visits.

Emmie did a great job of showing up on time, following our two cats’ routine, and more importantly bonding with our cats and keeping us informed with photos and notes. She is very much a knowledgeable cat person and someone who cares about them. We’d be very happy with Emmie any time we are away with our cats at home.

Emmie is the gold standard of cat sitters. She is amazingly communicative, thorough and friendly. My cats love her. She sends pictures and videos during her visits. In addition she is great at administering medication to my diabetic boy. I cannot recommend her highly enough!

Emmie was very communicative, empathetic and a real lifesaver. One of my cats is diabetic and my real need was for someone to administer a shot of insulin for him. She took care of that and everything else I asked of her. I would happily book her again.

Emmie is always helpful and tells me if anything seems 'off' with my cats. My shy cats come out while Emmie is over, but hide when most people come over. It's a comfort to have her spending time with my cats.

Emmie is a fantastic cat sitter! She's reliable, trustworthy, and our cats love her. We have two cats who usually hide whenever someone new comes over, but Emmie took the time to help them feel comfortable around her. One of our cats has a strict medication schedule, which usually makes us nervous to leave them with someone else, but Emmie handled it perfectly. She sent us updates during each visit, which really helped put our minds at ease.

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.
West Babylon 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 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!

Emmie is the absolute best! Our cats were in perfect care the entire time we were away. She was kind to send videos of them every single day which decreased our stress level enormously. Our cats are all semi-feral so not easy to deal with as they are frightened and find ways to escape. But with Emmie, there was no chance of that! She made friends with them patiently and was super responsible. We couldn't ask for anything more! We give our highest recommendation for her extraordinary services!!

During the meet and greet, Emmie was very pleasant and professional, listened carefully as I went over information regarding his care, asked pertinent questions, and exhibited genuine interest in Bela and his welfare. While I was away, she updated me daily and sent videos of him. I was comfortable with her and felt that Bela was in excellent hands. I will definitely use her services again whenever I'm away.

Emmie is wonderful, my cat Salem just loves her! She not only makes sure he’s fed and litter clean, but she plays with him and sends photos and videos during her visits. He’s very happy whenever I get home after being away.

Emmie was amazing. My cat went right to her! Emmie was reliable, followed my instructions and was very sweet. She sent me pictures and videos, and I felt 100% confident that my baby was in good hands. I would highly recommend Emmie and I will definitely be booking her again! If I can't be there to take care of my baby, I want it to be her!

Emmie was very aware of the needs of our 4 cats, including our outdoor stray that we feed. The pre-visit visit was helpful to talk and show where to find everything. Emmie sent pictures and videos with each visit. It was nice to see their progress in becoming more and more comfortable with Emmie each day. The updates on the disposition of the cats was very helpful as well. Many Thanks. 💐

Emmie did a fantastic job with my cat. Bailey is shy and usually afraid of everyone except me. Emmie took the time to make friends with her earning her trust. I was surprised to see her be so happy. This allowed me to enjoy my vacation without stress knowing she was in good hands.

Emmie was amazing with my shy cat. She was so caring and patient with her. My cat is sometimes fearful with other people and she was completely comfortable with Emmie. Emmie sent daily updates and videos and was wonderful with my cat. I felt totally safe and comfortable having Emmie take care of her while I was away.

We just love Emmie, she was excellent for our cat Shelly Mae. She took amazing care of her. Shelly Mae is a shy cat, doesn't come out to others, but Emmie had her greeting her at the door and playing with her like they were best friends ❤️🐾

Emmie is an awesome cat sitter! Communication was prompt and she took exceptional care of my two cats. I was completely at ease, knowing that ( beyond feeding), Emmie would provide many belly rubs! During a summer heat wave, Emmy ensured they were well fed, had fresh water and that the litter box was cleaned daily.

Emmie was absolutely wonderful!! She provided such love and care to our kitties, we are so grateful to have found her! Her genuine warmth, kindness and positivity was evident from our first meeting. Our kitties bonded with her from the start, it was evident from the photos and videos she sent to us. I enthusiastically recommend her, she is prompt, professional and a real lifesaver. We are so grateful for her and all that she has done for us and the kitties.

Having Emmie care for our cats while we've been away has been the best thing that's ever happened. It's not to be overstated how wonderful it is to feel completely stress free while away from home. We couldn't be happier or feel more fortunate to have Emmie sit for our cats! Thank you, Emmie!!
