Cat Sitting in West Babylon, NY

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.

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 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, as always, showed such care, compassion, love and kindness for our three kitties. We are so grateful for all she does, taking care of our babies, communicating with photos and videos, and even checking the mail. She is a very special person, with a kind and loving heart. We are so glad to have found her. We recommend her, wholeheartedly. She is a treasure. With our love and gratitude, Kim, Diana & Rob, Vito, Valentina and Eva. ♥️🐱🩷🫧

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.

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 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!
