Cat Sitting in Woodside, NY
To say I love cats is a bit of an understatement. I adore cats and find immense joy in taking care of them which is why cat sitting is such a great job for me.

We always had cats growing up and my Dad jokes that I put out cat pheromones because when we go on walks the neighborhood cats like to come say hi. In high school I volunteered at our local shelter socializing cats and had success even with the feral cats by paying attention to their body language and respecting their boundaries.
I am a professional singer with a very flexible schedule and am committed to providing both what your cats need and what you need. I will always keep you updated about how your cats are doing so you can enjoy your trip.
I know leaving your cat with a cat sitter can be stressful and I promise to do everything I can to alleviate that stress.

Learn More About Manya
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve been cat sitting with Meowtel for more than three years now and absolutely adore my job. I have many repeat clients and have been trusted to watch cats during medical situations and even when a long time client, whose previous cat had sadly passed away, adopted a new cat somewhat unexpectedly and had to travel the next weekend.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes I do, Lady and Newbie and they are the lights of my life. They are both rescues, Lady is from ACC and Newbie is from a small rescue in Brooklyn. She is an owner surrender and he is a former street cat who got really sick and, once better, they determined he was friendly enough to be adopted. They are both such characters and I love them so much.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Trust your gut. Not every sitter in the right fit but a good sitter will ask questions and show initiative on making sure they know everything they need to about your cats.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I let them call the shots. I’ve been known to sit on the floor near a cat that is hiding under the bed. I also will sometimes leave an article of clothing that smells a lot like me (for example a favorite sweater or a shirt) so the cat can get used to my smell. I don’t try and force a cat to interact with me, there is one cat I’ve watched for years I’ve never seen without her mother present, but I do my best to help cats be relaxed around me.

Manya is a gem. She always responds quickly, and her daily updates are thorough. She seems to truly love spending time with my babies, and I trust her to not only administer various different types of medications, but also generally monitor my kitties and note anything out of the ordinary. She caught an incident early once with one of my kitties who turned out to be asthmatic. She took her to the vet, communicated everything with me, continued to watch my other babies while that one was in the ER, etc. I'm grateful she was here paying close attention, or the situation might have ended badly. She always leaves my place cleaner than I left it, too. She just goes above and beyond. I wholeheartedly recommend her.

I've booked Manya numerous times, and she's always been fantastic. She took really good care of my sweet girl this past week, giving her extra love and attention since she's a solo kitty now. She communicated with me in advance when one of the meds started to run low so that I could have a refill delivered in plenty of time, and she left my apartment tidy. I got my daily updates and pics/videos as always, and my cat always looks cozy and happy with Manya nearby. I highly recommend her to anyone in the area needing a catsitter.

Manya has been our go to sitter for awhile with my former cat Zoe. We recently got a new cat and Manya did a great job taking care of her and giving her lots of play time to get out her zoomies. I appreciated that she came over for a meet and greet with our new kitty to get to know her before we left for our trip.

Manya was great! My kitty seemed to love her right away and was sitting on her lap in the first few days. Manya also noticed some coughing/sneezing and was able to administer an inhaler, which was amazing.

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!

Manya has cared for my cats when I travel for the past few years and always does a wonderful job. her love of my boys is genuine and exactly what you hope for in a cat sitter. most recently, she went above and beyond for my senior cat, administering pills and giving him lots of love until we got home. Manya has a real calling for caring for cats. thank you Manya !

Manya was great taking care of my boys! They’re quite shy, but she was very dedicated to keeping the home a safe space and providing me with updates everyday. Loved having her as my sitter!

Manya took exceptional care of my elderly cat when he got sick right before I left for my trip. She not only gave me frequent, detailed updates on how he was doing, but she also recommended a hydration supplement I was able to order for him that I'm sure was vital to keeping my Cat stable until I could take him to the vet. When I left for the airport, I wasn't sure I would be able to enjoy my trip because I was so worried about my cat, but Manya's attentiveness and detailed updates over the course of my trip were a great reassurance that my cat was in good hands. I highly recommend Manya.

Manya always takes great care of Zoe and she really went above and beyond this time to make sure Zoe was ok since she noticed her breathing was very rapid. I appreciate that she was very attentive, caring and provided thorough updates. I know I can always count on Manya to give Zoe the special care and attention she needs.

It was my first time leaving my one year old cats behind, but Manya helped me feel so comfortable doing so. I have a shy cat who Manya was able to get out of his shell a little, which was great to see. I also received a lot of photos and videos and an update each day. I definitely recommend Manya to all looking for a sitter!

Manya is a jewel! A great communicator on cat updates. She is a professional and loving cat sitter who took care of our 2 senior cats for 4 days-including 3 sleepovers. One of our cats required 3 oral meds and eyedrops 3x a day and she managed this, without our cats hiding for lengths of time (which has happened with others). When we returned our cat who needed eye meds looked vastly improved and even seemed to have gained a bit of weight--a positive--and both cats were relaxed. We will definitely be hiring her again!

Manya is perfect. She came to take care of my cats everyday on time, fed them with great care & cleaned their litter boxes on a daily basis. She is very patient & worked with my shy babies to interact with them accordingly. I have 4 cats & we stay worried every time we leave for a vacation. Manya let us spend our vacation in peace because we already knew they were in good hands. The updates, videos & pictures she sent us at the end of the day was very descriptive including details of all of my babies individually. Please don’t hesitate to book her if you ended up in her profile, she is amazing.
Leslie

I can't recommend Manya highly enough. She came to pick up the keys and meet the kitties having already thoroughly read through all the details of my cats' medications, etc. I walked her through the routine, the whole while feeling as though I didn't need to with her because she already knew everything. She was ON IT. Her updates were regular too, a big deal for me. I was 100% comfortable leaving my babies with her for a week. Five stars! :)

Manya's professionalism, kindness, and expertise in caring for cats makes her a spectacular sitter. She keeps meticulous notes, remembers details, and follows instructions to a T. Her updates and pics are fantastic. Our cat gets so excited when she stops by. A+!

Manya is absolutely wonderful. I can’t recommend her highly enough. She watched my cat, Eloise, for over two weeks recently and I came home to a healthy, very happy kitty. This was the longest I’d ever left Eloise with someone who is not technically family, but I feel like Manya is almost a member of our extended family now. She was extremely patient with Eloise while Eloise warmed up to her, and she showed Eloise an abundance of love and compassion. I received thorough updates (with numerous photos and videos) every day, and it was clear Eloise enjoyed their visits, which were tailored to Eloise’s personality and preferences. Eloise has a new friend, and I have a go-to whom I trust completely for all future cat sitting needs.

Manya was a consumate professional, and I could not be more impressed. This was the first time I left my cat alone, and she not only sent me extremely detailed updates with photos and videos that went a very long way to reassure me, but was gracious and understanding in following all my neurotic feeding instructions. while my little cat isn’t the most receptive to new people, Manya was able to coax him out and make him feel comfortable. Highly recommend.
Clarissa
March 27, 2023
Manya is a wonderful sitter who is patient with anxious cats and very thorough and caring. My cat began not feeling well a day before I left, and Manya went above and beyond to make sure my cat was well cared for (including administering medicine). She even provided me with extra updates on how my cat was doing to help put my mind at ease. Her thorough updates and numerous photos were fantastic; I could tell my cat was in trustworthy, dependable hands. My cat took a bit of time to warm up to Manya, but Manya didn’t rush her and, by the end of my time away, my cat had made a new friend. I highly recommend Manya and look forward to booking her as my cat’s sitter in the future.

We always relied on family and friends to take care of our cats, but due to a recent relocation to NYC, we were struggling to find a sitter. Despite contacting everyone we knew and a few agencies, we struck out. That’s when we turned to Meowtel and discovered Manya. We were impressed with her professionalism and approach during the intake meeting so much that we felt, for this first time, that this trip could happen. From the twice daily detailed updates to the photos and videos we received from her, we felt very comfortable that our cats were in good hands. Manya knows what she is doing, is reliable and takes this work seriously. We give Manya our highest recommendation and have already scheduled a second—and a soon to be a third—booking with her.

Manya is an absolutely amazing cat sitter. I was super anxious about leaving my cat, Rocco, alone for a week. She is two-years-old and loves attention and play and can sometimes be a picky eater. Manya was incredibly understanding and Rocco took a liking to her immediately. I think this is a real gift of Manya’s - a vibe she maybe gives off - that makes them feel comfortable and safe. She played with Rocco, fed her, and cleaned her litter box, as we discussed. The apartment was kept in perfect shape and Rocco was a happy little kitty when I came home. I couldn’t recommend Manya enough. She is excellent! Oh, and as an anxious cat-mom/traveler, I really appreciated the thoughtfulness with which Manya crafted her message updates. She was detailed and included videos and photos, which were lovely to receive. Thank you, Manya!

I contacted Manya just days before I needed someone to check in on my kitty while I was out of town. Manya replied almost instantly, was flexible with scheduling the meet and greet, and was happy to take on my request. She was thorough during our first meeting and even took notes! While I was away, I received a detailed report of my kitty every day along with plenty of pictures and videos! My kitty has a little bit of separation anxiety from me so I was happy to hear she was warming up to Manya. She was professional, sweet and thorough - would definitely recommend and book again! 😸

Manya is very reliable, always sends a message and pictures. Ive worked with her several times over the past year and always had a good experience. My older cat needed antibiotics this time and Manya had no trouble getting him to take them. My younger very shy cat has really warmed up to her too! I

Manya was absolutely fantastic!!! We found her when our usual cat sitter had a last minute conflict and was unable to come watch our cat while we went on a trip. Manya was not only available for the time we needed, but she also made sure that the meet-and-greet happened as well so that everyone got to say hi and be comfortable with each other. She always sent a quick note if she was visiting a bit later in the day (our time for visits was flexible and unscheduled as the timing wasn't as crucial to us) and her updates were always detailed and included lots of pictures and videos so we knew that our cat was doing well while we were away. Manya took such great care of our cat and we'd definitely hire her again!!!

Adding to the excellent reviews for Manya. This was my first time using Meowtel and I had a wonderful experience with Manya. I was in a time sensitive pinch for help and she was very flexible and accommodating of my needs. She followed all instructions perfectly and sent detailed updates each day of the visit with photos and videos. She clearly got a sense for each cat's personality and they seemed perfectly content from her good care once I returned. Highly recommend Manya and plan to hire her agin!

Manya is a cat owner who loves all cats. My cat is not overly sociable, but by the second day, the videos Manya sent showed that my cat interacted a little, and more so as time passed. Manya was careful about my cat’s routine, and asked me via message about questions or suggestions she had to make my cat happier. It was comforting to me that Manya was looking after her with affection and expertise.
Julia

I have two very different cats- one older cuddly cat and one young, shy but energetic kitty and both as so well taken care of and seems very happy Manya comes! I’m also very happy with her updates and photos so I know what’s happening even when I’m away!

Manya is an amazing cat sitter! She is very thorough with her daily check ins and photo updates.

Manya is amazing! She is so incredibly professional, but also has an amazing connection and heart for kitties. She asked all the right questions and built such a quick rapport with my Tyrion that I had no doubt he was in the best hands. When I came home, he was happy to see me, but not at all clingy - proof that he had the best companion while I was away! Manya is the best!!

My favorite thing about Manya is her reliable and thorough updates. I never have to wonder how my babies are doing, because I know I'll get a report with pictures and videos every day. She's watched my kitties a few times now, and I already have her booked again for a trip next month. I can't recommend her highly enough.
