Hi! I'm Genna Beth. I live in LIC/Astoria. I grew up with two cats, Toffee and Bananas. Prior to moving to NYC, I lived in CT with Apollo (the cat in the photo with me), a roommate's cat. I would care for him when she was out of town. We loved to cuddle, and I miss him dearly. I really love all animals, but especially cats, and while I'm not yet ready to bring one permanently into my abode in NYC, I love having furry friends to care for. Many cats take a while to warm-up to a new human, and I'm happy enough to sit patiently until my attention is requested. Then, a grand-kitty-romp or a sit-and-pet are equal treats for me. I always hope to reach the level of cuddle-buddy with a cat, but I realize that's generally reserved for the closest of human friends. As a freelance puppet builder by trade, I work mostly from home so I have the flexibility to get out for cat visits at a wide variety of times. I look forward to meeting you and your kitty (or kitties) soon!

We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! Hello! My name is Jeremy and I am living in the LIC/Astoria area. While I don't have any cats at the moment, I did grow up having cats and understand it can take some time to build trust, just like it does with people. However, once you have a feline's trust, the relationship is truly rewarding. It's all about having patience and allowing the relationship to build on the cat's terms. My full time job is in sales so I am used to and enjoy building relationships whether it be with people or a kitty. I am only in the office part time and have a flexible work from home schedule most days. This allows me to partake in things I like such as playing sports and going to see live music. These events happen in all the boroughs so while I live in LIC/Astoria, I am happy to travel to wherever you are located to spend time, play, and care for what I am sure you consider to be your friend/family member. If you are located in Astoria or the surrounding area, Jeremy might be available to take care of your cat/s. We recommend cat sitting visits for weekends or short term services. If you are leaving the city for a few weeks you might consider in-home boarding instead. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need, we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

I’m of Kurdish descent and grew up in Germany. I’ve been in the city for almost 10 years being busy working as an actor and have from time to time taken care of many kitties for friends and families.

Our cat sitting visits are the best solutions for weekends or short trips.

REVIEWS Cyrene * * * * * Grace is a wonderful person. I've known her to be a kind, empathetic, thoughtful, generous and joyful spirit. She is a fierce animal advocate and lover. Her heart explodes when she sees my cats and she takes such amazing care of them. I never have to worry and I've been gone for long periods of time. We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! Tabish is a world traveler who has lived abroad and now resides in a charming one bedroom townhouse on the upper west side of Manhattan. Growing up in Kenya, I was surrounded by wildlife. One of my earliest memories as a child of 4 or 5 years of age is watching a lion cub, the cutest thing I’d ever seen. I wanted to take it home, but my dad said I could have a kitten instead that was just as cute and from the same family. The rest, as they say is my cat history. I have worked in the humanitarian sector in Europe, Africa, and Asia, using my fluency in English, Swahili, Punjabi and Urdu. My other passion had always been for fashion. I studied towards a M.A at Central St Martins, London, which opened up opportunities to work with artisans in Kenya, Gambia and Nepal to create artisanal jewelry and textile collections. It also enhanced my inherent talent for fashion styling. My motto is, Wear Color Every Day. Tabish provides both services: in-home boarding and cat sitting visits. If you decide to board your cat, your kitty will have plenty of room to roam and play in this book filled and antique furnished home. Tabish works from home, adores cats, and has cared for many. Tabish will enjoy visiting your cat/s in your apartment and will send an update after every visit. She cherishes their affectionate nature and is looking forward to getting to know your darling! ____________________________________________________

Natasha - by survey 01/18/2022 * * * * * Loved Tabish, she was committed and caring and I am certain I can trust her with my cat.

Tony - by survey 12/30/2021 * * * * * Zeus is a very social cat and it is very clear when he's not had enough attention, especially after a week away.

Daniel - survey * * * * * Professional, kept in good contact with us, loved our kitties Brendan - survey * * * * * Tabish followed instructions and was very attentive and patient with my cats, particularly shy Dusty - he always hides when strangers come, but she would check on him and try to coax him with treats, but leave him alone if he didn't want to be bothered with.

We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! All my life I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for animals, but my true journey with them began in 2008 when I became a veterinary assistant at a hospital in Houston, Texas. One of my daily duties was to clean the cages in the cat room and feed the kitties that were either boarding with us or up for adoption. However there was one particular white and black cat named Abby who had a double heart on her side. One of the technicians rescued her off the streets of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. She found her with her litter of kittens hiding under a car. All of the kittens were adopted out and Abby became the hospital cat. Everyday I would let her out of her cage and pet her, brush her and give her some TLC. She would show her appreciation by making biscuits on me while purring the entire time. Finally one day I asked if I could foster her which of course turned into me adopting her and from there the rest is history. Abby is now living a lap of luxury with my mother in NJ. After moving to NY to further my education, I went on to work in a few different hospitals and clinics where I met countless pet owners and had the opportunity to care for their beloved cat or dog. I have fostered a few kitties along the way and found loving homes for them. I will always treat your kitty like they are my own and I pride myself in being able to think quick on my feet when handling unforeseen circumstances that may arise. Whenever it’s time for me to visit with a furry loved one, I look at our time together as more of a bonding session than just someone there to feed them. All I want to do is make a positive memorable impact on your kitties life so that in return whenever you are away they have me to look forward to. Amber provides cat sitting and cat boarding services in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn. She will enjoy visiting your cat/s in your apartment and will send an update after every visit and is looking forward to getting to know your kitty!
___________________________________________ REVIEWS Lynn - survey 02/04/2023 * * * * * Amber took wonderful care of our boys Chewy and Jabba. She’s very warm and kind and sent lots of pics and videos. Amber played with our boys and gave cuddles. We really felt they were in good hands, it’s so important when you’re away. Thank you Amber and Kitty in NY! Carrie * * * * * Good communication and my cat was well cared for. Hannah * * * * * Amber was amazing!! Sent the best photos and videos and really enjoyed meeting her as well. Catty was so happy and settled too. Will definitely be asking for Amber next time! Kris * * * * * Amber has been taking care of our dog Violet and two cats Jack and Oscar for several years and we couldn't be happier with the care she provides to our fur family while we are on vacation. She sends us updates and photos daily. I know I can relax and not worry about anything while we are away.” Carol * * * * * “I have been using Amber for several years & my cats love her. She even took care of a health issue while I was away with great success. Currently, she has been good at keeping my cats on their different foods ( one is on renal food) - when they are intent on switching bowls! I love her.“ Heather * * * * * Amber was recommended by someone in my Bed Stuy-Clinton Hill network, and she has been great. I worked so hard to find someone who would come to our house to clip my cats' nails and you wouldn't believe how hard it was. It's a silly thing to traumatize the cats for by bringing them to the vet, and yet so few people do house calls anymore. Amber came on time and quickly dispatched of the task. I don't need a regular cat sitter but if I needed one in a pinch I wouldn't hesitate to call her.“ We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers.

We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! When it comes the feline species, I am a natural! I love cats and have a relaxed, and perhaps intuitive, relationship with them. I've adopted many cats over the years, the most difficult of which was inherited when I moved into a friend's vacated apartment. The cat wouldn't come near me nor anyone, as it had been abused. It stayed in the backyard and I had to put its food on the stoop outside. Any attempt to pet or go near it meant hissing and scratching. I slowly nurtured it and within 3 months, this cat was sleeping peacefully on my bed! Since getting my first apartment in college, I have had cats, so I have literally a lifetime of owning or caring for cats - life is just better with them in it. I have plenty of experience caring for other people's cats - both in my and their home. I never feel a cat is a stranger, and I am confident when they meet me they know they are in the company of a kindred spirit. The other half of my life I live as a Feng Shui consultant. I have a small business, and am passionate about bringing positive change to individuals and small businesses. I have lived in different parts of the country, traveled extensively in India and the U.K. and owned my own small coffee shop in the East Village for 10 years. In my practice I help people clear toxicity, lighten their load and teach them how to live in a clutter-free, energy-enhanced supportive environment. If you're located in the East Village, Cheryl will provide the perfect home environment for your cat/s until you return. She also provides cat sitting visits to your apartment. She loves cats and enjoys their company. Contact us and send us more details about the service you need.

We definitely plan to work with Cheryl again in the future—our cats will be thrilled to see her again! Helen - survey 01/30/2023 * * * * * The best sitter my cats have ever had. They did not loose weight nor did they appear to have been stressed in any way. Cheryl asked me the right questions and I provided her with detailed instructions. My apartment was not damaged or soiled in any way. She emailed comments about my cats' behavior, general conditions and their reaction to her. I believe she genuinely cared about the cats welfare. Christopher - survey 09/09/2022 * * * * * Cheryl has been super reliable and always sends me a photo/video update of how everything is going. My cat is shy, but she seems to have warmed up to Cheryl very quickly. Her love of cats is very clear. She has also been easy to work with when special circumstances have come up such as a temporary change in diet. Overall I really trust that my cat is in good hands with Cheryl, and it's made traveling so much easier. Inga - survey * * * * * Cheryl was wonderful!

Cheryl also gave us a few suggestions to help with raising Piko (ie her preferred brand of cat nip which Piko liked), which we were very grateful for as relatively new cat owners. We could tell that Cheryl has had many years of experience and is a pro when it comes to caring for cats - Piko was very comfortable and felt right at home within a day of being at Cheryl's. I would 100% use her again for cat boarding and highly recommend her to anyone who needs the service. Thank you again Cheryl! Patrick - survey * * * * * Cheryl was an amazing cat sitter.

We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! Hello kitty parents! my name is Jessica. I'm a DJ and a Chef. Since I was a child I always had this affinity to connect with every pet I met. I’m an introvert person but when I meet a cat I transform into this very fun and loving person, always up to play and for some cuddles with the little ones. I always try to connect with their personality so I know how to treat each cat and make them a happy day 😊 I have dedicated my life to giving foster care to rescued cats. I moved to NYC one year ago and started cat sitting since I don’t have the space to keep providing for cats in needs. I live with one of the rescues I did in the Dominican Republic. He is my entire universe! My sibling and my best friend and every cat I sit, I treat them as my own. I’m very loyal to my clients and always available & easy to reach. If you are looking for a trustworthy cat sitter in the Bronx or the northern tip of Manhattan, Jessica will be glad to help you. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need, we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! When I was four, a stray cat (which my brother was secretly feeding) ran into my house and birthed three kittens. We weren’t a pet family at that time and my parents only had childhood experiences of raising dogs. We became pet/cat people overnight. Of that litter, one survived for 20 beautiful years. Chichi and I grew up together. Because of her, I’ve always been able to connect with cats — even ‘tough’ cats or strays. She wasn’t the only cat I raised; we came to own two other cats in her lifetime. The three cats couldn’t be more different, and yet, my relationship with each was special. Eventually, they all passed and I wasn’t sure I’d jump back into owning a cat because I was afraid I’d never find cats as great. I was so wrong. Four years ago I adopted a 6 y.o. tuxedo cat with arthritis. He came from a hoarder home and was extremely skittish with people. I have never had to work so hard to ‘normalize’ a cat, but Figgy and I have made strides. Due to his arthritis, Fig is on a strict diet and is medicated daily. I intimately understand the importance of adhering to diets/medication routines because his comfort depends on it. I’m very good at meeting cats where they are. Figaro has taught me that some cats really operate at their own pace and can’t always be bribed. I’m comfortable with keeping my distance from a cat who wants that and also giving a kitty all of the loving it demands of me. I work as a graphic designer in FiDi and live in Harlem. Happy to visit with any kitties along the 2/3 line :) If you live in on the west side of Manhattan or the Bronx along the 2/3 train line, Erika will be delighted to take care of your cat. Kitty in NY will help you find the best caregiver for in home boarding or cat sitting services. Contact us and send more details about your cat and we will be happy to help you.

We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! Being a Leo seems to lend itself to the unique connection I have with felines.I have had cats my entire life and they have been the loves of my life, so I enjoy taking care of them, as well as engaging in petting, pampering, and brushing my kitty clients, as they will allow. Preparing their meals and treats to satisfaction, as well as making sure they feel comfortable and cared for, is my number one priority.

____________________________________________________ REVIEWS Han Xie - by survey 07/14/2022 * * * * * Debbie was great!

Would love to have Debbie as our sitter again! We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! Danielle and Marshall have been working with us since 2016. They will enjoy visiting your cat/s in your apartment. You will receive photo updates after every visit to let you know how your feline friend/s are doing. Danielle: In my life I have owned 3 cats (2 at a time). One of my cats was diabetic, so I have experience with giving insulin shots and caring for cats with special medical needs. I live with my boyfriend, who has also owned cats in the past. I am a doctor podiatrist, I have experience with giving injections, pills and IVs in humans, and injections in cats. Marshall: I am a financial editor living in Boerum Hill, working in the FiDi. I live with my wonderful girlfriend, Danielle, who introduced me to the Kitty in NY service when she asked if I wanted to board cats in our apartment. Being a cat lover I immediately agreed, and we’ve hosted many excellent kitty guests since. Expanding into the caregiving role simply increases the opportunities I have to make more feline friends. I grew up in rural upstate NY and had many different pets growing up: dogs, cats, chickens, horses and once a very irritable goat. Cats have always been my favorite, as they are by far the most interesting (sometimes maddening). I am experienced in handling the diverse personalities of cats and can recognize when your cat wants to play and when they just want me to leave them alone. I enjoy sending fun updates to my client’s owners and will, if allowed, inundate you with pics of your pets being thoroughly spoiled while you’re away. If you live in northern Brooklyn or in the FiDi, Danielle and Marshall could be available to visit your cat/s in your apartment until you return. Our cat sitting service makes it easy to leave the city for a few days. You will receive updates after each visit. Contact us and send more details about your cats and the service you need.
____________________________________________________ REVIEWS Tobah - survey 8/1/2022 * * * * * Marshall and Danielle were lovely. They were super communicative, friendly, and thoughtful. They are obviously huge cat lovers and we felt really reassured knowing that our cat was getting their love and attention. Thanks to them both!! Emily - survey 10/6/2021 * * * * * Danielle and Marshall were great cat sitters, we really appreciated how they texted us after every visit with an update and lots of pictures, and seemed to genuinely care about Stan. Thank you so much! Gabrielle - survey * * * * * Marshall and Danielle were very attentive to Norman. I was a little worried because we moved just a few days before his stay so I hoped he’d easily transition. They gave us many updates with pictures and Marshall worked from home the first day to help Norman get situated. He was a little timid at first but he eventually got very comfortable with them, I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home! Now that he’s home he seems to be well adjusted to home life which can only come from being well taken care of! Blandine - survey * * * * * Lots of pictures and updates after each visit via whatsapp which was highly appreciated.

Annafrancesca * * * * * Gave detailed updates with photos every day, followed all directions, thoughtful and caring. Catherine * * * * * Marshall was absolutely wonderful!! I can't say enough good things about him. He checked in every day with photographs and a brief assessment of his interactions with my cats.

THANK YOU AGAIN! Danni - survey * * * * * Danielle and Marshall were warm and professional and provided us with daily updates and photos of our cats. Lily - survey * * * * * The caregiver was prompt at responding to my messages and setting up a time to meet and get keys, which was helpful since it was last-minute.

Jonathan - survey * * * * * Danielle and Marshall were very thoughtful and communicative. I never worried for the cats while they were with them.

Antoinette provides in-home boarding and cat sitting services in Midtown Manhattan, New York7/12/2022 We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! I am a writer who lives alone in a large studio apartment in midtown Manhattan. I had two wonderful cats – Bo Diddley and Roxy - here for 20 years. They both died of cancer in the same year and I was so heartbroken I didn’t ever want to have my own cat again. But when I took care of a girlfriend’s cat when she went on vacation, I realized how much I love having a little furry creature in my life, so I signed up with Kitty In NY. I love boarding and visiting cats and I adore taking photographs of them. My apartment, which is totally cat-proof, has a lot of old-fashioned quilts, desks, trunks and colorful objects that I use as backgrounds for pictures. I swear, cats know how good they look in my shots and they pose with very little persuading. I will care for your four-footed friend as if it were my own. I also have my Red Cross emergency pet medicine certification. If you live in Midtown Manhattan Antoinette is the perfect option to take care of your cat/s while you're away. She can visit your cat in your apartment, cat sitting services, or you can bring your cat to her apartment where he/she will be the only pet until you come back. Our cat boarding service is perfect for mid-long term. Contact Kitty in NY with more details about the service you need. ____________________________________________________
REVIEWS Garrett - by survey 07/07/2022 * * * * * Antoinette was extremely loving and caring towards Buki. I had no service over the weekend and she was patient with our communication. She made sure to text and email updates and pictures of Buki. Buki was great upon my return. I highly recommend Antoinette and Kitty in NY! Garrett - by survey 12/30/2021 * * * * * Toni is very responsive and attentive to both ours and our cat’s needs. We loved the photos she provided! Jason - survey * * * * * Toni was amazing. Had something fall through with our previous cat caretaker and called Kitty in NY and was connected with Toni. She took us in very last minute and took the best care of our kitten Parker. She sent tons of photos and had a lot of fun with him over the weekend. It's very very obvious that Toni adores cats and animals in general and is very knowledgeable about their care. She had the nicest things to say about him. Parker is a slippery one who gets everywhere and has no idea what danger is, so making sure he's safe and happy is very important to us. With Toni, I had not a worry in the world. Will definitely book again with her!! Catherine - survey * * * * * Toni was a wonderful sitter! She kept us up to date about our two kitties while we were gone for 2 weeks with lots of fun photos. She clearly has a love for cats and really enjoys taking care of them. We definitely plan to hire her again in the future! Si Ying - survey * * * * * Toni loves to take photos of cats so she provides an update or two every day with photos of our cat. When we went to pick our baby up at her apartment, we can tell that our baby was very relaxed (she just plop onto the carpet) and happy (tail high in the air and running all over the place).

She spends a lot of time playing with my cat, Mint Julep, and sends me a ton of pictures. It is a pleasure to have her cat sit!

She got to know Tildy, she made sure my sweet old kitty was comfortable, picking her up and then down from the bed, sending photos, Toni was more wonderful than I could have anticipated - Tildy is now one spoiled kitty! Lizzie - survey * * * * * Antoinette sent me a lot of pictures each day, and spent some time each visit playing with my cat. I have a very personable, energetic cat who needs a lot of attention.

It was so great having peace of mind that they were being cared for by someone who loves cats as much as we do. :) We'll definitely use your service whenever we have to be away from home David has been a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, having raised both cats and dogs since his early childhood. He is, by profession, an IT Specialist, but he began, over the past few years, scaling back and working from home, which afforded him the opportunity to make cat-sitting a primary focus. When asked about his general philosophy, David says: Hi, my name is David! I have been a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, having raised both cats and dogs since early childhood. I am, by profession, an IT Specialist, but began, over the past few years, scaling back and working from home, which afforded me the opportunity to make cat-sitting a major focus. If asked about my general philosophy, I would say because many people view cats as being such self-sufficient creatures, it’s easy for them to take for granted the notion that they are just fine when left alone. Being so familiar with them, and having spent as much time as I have taking care of other people's cats over the years, I realize how untrue this is. It is important for the cats, as well as their humans to have someone there--not just to feed them & clean their litter boxes, but to provide a consistent level of companionship and stress-relieving stimulation, if even only for a brief amount of time every day. This is something that I feel is essential for a pet owner, and it is work that brings me great joy. I was born and raised in Brooklyn where I was surrounded by my family’s cats and dogs until I went away to Stony Brook University for my undergraduate education. It was then that I experienced the sorrow of losing a pet for the first time when my American Wirehair mix, Cookie passed away while I was away at school. I credit this experience, in part, with helping to shape the empathy with which I approach the care of another person’s cat(s)--particularly those with health concerns or of advanced age. Treating your cat(s) with the care and affection that I would my own beloved pet is my guiding principle and reflects the baseline standard of care that I provide. I am fully vaccinated/boosted against COVID-19, and will wear a mask during visits. I am available in the following New York City areas: Bed-Stuy (Bedford-Stuyvesant), Fort Greene, Clinton Hills, Park Slope, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, DUMBO, Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Kensington and Long Island City (LIC). If you need Cat Sitting service in Brooklyn, contact us with more details. We’ll be glad to help you! ___________________________________________

We’d be thrilled to welcome him back! Elissa - by survey ***** David was fantastic! A clear communicator and a caring person. He really made an effort with our cats and spent time with them. He seems very trustworthy and I feel good about leaving my cats and home under his watch. Olivia - by survey ***** David gave us the gift of peace of mind while we were out of town. I had a lot of anxiety about leaving our cats because of a previous incident with a cat sitter, but David put my mind at total ease. He has such a calming demeanor that I know our cats picked up on and appreciated. I could tell he was very knowledgeable about cats and has a genuine love for them. That makes all the difference for me. Because one of our cats takes medicine daily, we had very specific instructions for their care, and David not only rose to the occasion, he went above and beyond. He asked great questions when he came for the first home visit and sent many daily photos with details on how our cats were doing while we were away. I cannot tell you how much I appreciated all of this. I will definitely be booking with David again. Thank you! We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! "There are many intelligent species in the universe. They are all owned by cats." Hello! My name is Malik and I am living in the LIC/Astoria area. I am the proud father of two spoiled rotten tuxedo cats, Sterling and Cooper (any Mad Men fans?!). What I admire so deeply about cats is their fierce individuality and dedication to their pursuits. Though sometimes it can take a while to earn a cat's trust, there is nothing more rewarding than being on the receiving end of that first boop. Cats in my care will receive a personal assistant, an advocate, a playmate, and a friend. My motto is simple: it's a cat's world, they're just letting us rent it. I have a flexible work-from-home schedule that leaves me with plenty of gaps during the week (and weekend) to come and spend some quality time with your precious feline. If you are going away for a few days and need help with your cat/s, Malik could be your perfect match. He will visit cats located in LIC, you will receive updates after each visit. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s, we'll be glad to help you.
____________________________________________________ REVIEWS Kim - by survey 06/13/2022 * * * * * Malik was great! We loved the videos, photos and messages he sent; and he was accommodating to my schedule. We will 100% be requesting to use him again!! We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! I’ve always been an animal lover. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a little girl. I’ve had a kitty of my own, Rio, for over 5 years now. Hanging out with pets is always fun for me. I think that cats are especially unique because they know how to relax and just take it easy while also enjoy having fun and playing sometimes. In addition to cat sitting, I work as an academic sleep researcher. I study what factors are involved with sleeping well and how sleep is related to how our brains function. My research takes a lot of focus and attention to detail. I promise that I will pay attention to your cat’s needs with the same level of detail that I bring to my research! If you live in Harlem and need a cat sitter to visit your cat while you're away, Emily could be your perfect match. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s, we'll be glad to help you.
