2. Time to help cats
You can also take the time off from work to help homeless cats in your area. June is Adopt A Shelter Cat Month and Social Petworking Month so use this day so share some adoptable kitties on your Facebook page or other social media. Follow a new rescue group or two. Send out an email to friends and family encouraging cat adoption. You can make a huge difference and help cats find homes.

3.  Spring Cleaning
Having a day off from work means you can do some spring cleaning. Clean your floors and put away any chemicals or cleaners that could be toxic to your cat. Take a lint roller to the sofa! Take a look at your kitty’s belongings. Is it time to get a new litter box? Replace old toys that could be harmful. Donate your old supplies to a shelter and take advantage of all those Memorial Day sales by getting your kitty new clean gear!

​4. Grooming
Use the time off from work to groom your kitty. Give your kitty a bath if needed and brush out her fur to help remove that thick winter coat for summer.

Rachelle was a great caregiver. She was very communicative and sent us a lot of photos while we were gone. Her place was clean and tidy, which I felt provided a calm environment for the cats. She had a lot of cat toys that kept them active. She also made note of potential behavioral abnormalities (e.g. no poop in days, cat hiding for the most part of the day, etc.) and checked with us to see if that was normal or not.

Xialen was so perfect for Ziggy and Juju! I felt very lucky to find her through Kitty in the City. I had a good feeling about her from the moment she arrived at my apartment. She was kind as well as confident about giving Ziggy his insulin injections. She texted updates and photos of the cats each time she visited. I had peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter they can trust.

Everything was great! Lucky is very skittish around other people, but when Xialen came to pick up the keys, he didn’t immediately bolt and it seemed like he recognized her!
I forgot to leave a list of instructions as I normally do and reached out to Xialen on the first day - but it was completely unnecessary. She did everything we discussed and dropped by before I realized I didn’t leave a note.
Xialen is intuitive, took great care to follow Lucky’s routine, and was even able to pick up and hold him on the last day while he purred, which doesn’t happen very often with guests! It’s obvious she works well with all types of cats and her pictures are truly amazing and look professional.
I will absolutely reach out again should Lucky need a cat sitter and will continue to recommend your company! You’re the best.

Xialen was great. She sent update emails every evening with several photos of my cat. She spent time petting her and (trying to) play with her.

At Kitty in NY, we care for cats with that understanding in mind. Whether your cat feels safest staying in their own territory through our cat sitting service, or thrives in one of our carefully selected homes through cat boarding, we prioritize both their emotional and physical needs.

If you’re planning a trip or simply want peace of mind, contact us for a personalized quote. Your cat deserves care that respects their true nature.

Cats may have a reputation for being aloof, but they are extremely sensitive to emotional shifts. They notice subtle changes in:

• tone of voice
• body language
• breathing patterns
• routines and energy levels

A stressed, grieving, or anxious person often moves differently, speaks differently, and even smells different. Cats pick up on all of this.

Many people report that their cat becomes unusually affectionate during periods of sadness or emotional pain, staying close, sleeping on their chest, or following them from room to room. 

​There are countless anecdotes of cats behaving differently around people who later discover they’re ill. Some cats repeatedly lie on the same part of a person’s body. Others become restless, vocal, or protective.

Science offers a partial explanation:

• Cats have an extraordinary sense of smell and may detect chemical changes in the body.
• Illness can subtly alter body temperature, posture, and movement.
• Changes in routine due to fatigue or pain are quickly noticed.

While cats are not medical diagnostic tools, their behavior can sometimes act as an early warning sign that something isn’t right.

This was my first time leaving Coco for boarding. He had just turned two and was recently neutered, and as an extremely cautious cat parent, I was very hesitant. Coco is also a rare British Shorthair whom I invested a lot in, so it was important for both of us to feel completely safe. I specifically did not want a traditional boarding facility where he would be caged around other cats and dogs, and instead wanted a sitter where he would be the only cat. I was fortunate to find KittyinNY, who was able to accommodate this request and match me with Yana.

My work schedule was very unpredictable, and I had to change my requested dates a few times (which I wouldn’t recommend), but KittyinNY was still able to work with me. Yana lives about 40 minutes away, so I would likely only use her again if absolutely necessary due to the distance. That said, she was wonderful with Coco. She sent daily videos, and he looked happy and comfortable. I was away for two weeks over the holidays and felt at ease knowing Coco was in her care.

Oscar was BRILLIANT! He went above and beyond in caring for my cat, sending me photos and videos while I was away (which made me want to come to the cat!!). But Oscar also dealt with me with kindness and compassion - I had to mess him around a bit, due to health issues I'm dealing with - he never once made me feel like I was being painful (even though I was). He even took the cat litter rubbish/wet food cans home with him, and didn't leave them for me to deal with. I'd recommend Oscar in a heartbeat - he clearly loves cats, but he's also a really good human being.

Oscar was GREAT. He got our crabby kitty to play with him which i didn’t think would be possible. She is so skeptical of strangers and has swiped at many cat sitters in the past.

Oscar was a perfect caregiver to my Maxie on the two days I had to be away. When Oscar first met Maxie, he let Maxie sniff him in order for Maxie to get comfortable with him. Oscar asked me all the necessary questions in order to provide the best service. He played with Maxie and took gorgeous pictures and videos of him during his visits, he cleaned the litter box, and after feeding Maxie, he took the empty cans of food with him to throw away elsewhere as there were no signs of discarded cans in the kitchen trash. He even cleaned Maxie's food bowls and let them dry by the sink. He also took a picture of my apartment keys so that I would know where to find them. I couldn't have been more pleased. Thank you!

I asked for a sitter who would be open to visit twice a day, with fresh food in the morning and evening. With each visit, Oscar sent texts with pics and videos providing evidence he was making an effort to interact w/ my anti-social cat, Buddy. Oscar even got Buddy to play w/ toys that I thought he had long ago lost interest in. It was clear from when I introduced Oscar to Buddy that he was a cat person - even Buddy was immediately rubbing against his legs. When I returned home after a 4-day weekend, Buddy was clearly healthy and the apartment was not the wreck I expected from my cat.

Oscar was FABULOUS. He was kind, attentive, and responsive. He made time to meet with me before we confirmed our service and he was amazing with my cat. The updates and pictures he sent were on time and made my day. I couldn’t speak more highly of Oscar.

Oscar went above & beyond a regular cat sitter - he sent beautiful photos and updates about how my cat was doing everyday while I was away. I didn't want to bother him by bombarding him with questions everyday, and yet he was happily giving me updates whether or not I asked. He showed genuine care and affection towards my cat and I couldn't have asked or entrusted anyone better while I was away. I would ask Oscar to catsit for me again in a heartbeat.

Oscar was amazing. He took great care of our cat (both in terms of feeding her and playing with her) and took beautiful photos of her too. We don’t need cat sitting often but we hope Oscar is available the next time we need help.

Oscar is responsible and communicates well. I know I can rely on him to take care of my Negrita and to document his visit every time. He is genuine and caring.

Oscar is just the best. Our cat Biscuit is not the friendliest cat in the world (to say the least), but she seemed to enjoy the time she spent with Oscar. And he sent us texts on a nightly basis along with the best photos anyone (including us) has ever taken of our cat. Oscar's extremely conscientious and we can't recommend him enough. We're so glad we found him.

Oscar does a great job of taking care of my cats, but it's his photography skills that set him apart. Every photo he sends has perfect lighting and captures my cats in a great pose. Artwork really.

Calliope cat was completely comfortable around Oscar, which is the most important thing to me. He also made sure to send daily updates, and it was clear from those that Calliope was well cared for and played with.

My cat clearly loves Oscar because he is affectionate and plays with her. He always is very caring and asks me all the right question about her care. Oscar has proven many times that he is reliable, even in emergencies.​

Booking the service, the initial "meet-and-greet", to the daily updates. We never had to worry if our cat was happy and well-taken for. Oscar's attention to detail and sweet updates made being away from our fur baby that much easier!

Oscar took care of my cat for a little less than a week. I have zero complaints...everything went smoothly and Oscar followed all of my written instructions  (which weren't too intricate - fortunately, I don't have a high maintenance cat). He also took amazing photos of Asher in action during their daily playtime! I would definitely use them again and highly recommend others to as well!

Kitty in NY and our cat sitter Oscar are life-savers! Oscar cared for our cat as if it was his own, petting, playing, feeding and loving her every single day that we were out of town on vacation. What's more, he sent amazing pictures and status updates of our kitty each day!  Can't recommend him and the company highly enough - thank you Oscar and kitty in NY!!!

I immediately was drawn to how warm, genuine and all around nice Oscar was - everyone loved Oscar ! My cats loved Oscar ! My hubby loved Oscar ! Even my doorman loved Oscar ! Even almost a month later, when I told my doorman Oscar is coming back to watch the cats again - they were like: " Oh, yeah, Oscar, very nice guy."

Literally, he was so nice, that even my doormen remembered him from a month before! Additionally, he takes professional photographer like photos and sent us a bunch of pictures each time that were one of a kind !

Very professional and considerate. Email updates everyday with photo and video attachments. Not only took care of my cat but also cleaned the environment. 

I do feel that Oscar has the passion and love for cats and it reflected on his cat-sitting works. My cat is shy, not every caregiver got the chance to see or pet my cat but Oscar made it all, which took me by surprise. I guess my cat likes him!

Oscar sent us amazing pictures everyday where the cats were active and looked content. When we got back he must have vacuumed and cleaned because there was no litter anywhere. The cats were happy and healthy and seemed very well taken care of. 

Oscar took great care of our cats. We were very happy, again, with your service. Also, Oscar must have a gig as a photographer, because his daily snapshots were fantastic.

Jean was a delight beginning to end. She made sure our kitties felt at home immediately and sent regular updates. When she was running low on a supply, she let us know with enough time that we could ship some to her. I was so nervous to leave my cats for such a long period of time, but that nervousness dispelled the moment I watched her interact with my girls.

Jean is the absolute best. She went above and beyond for my cats while I was away for just over two months, and really went above and beyond for me as well, making sure I had whatever updates she could provide, even if only to say that the cats were doing just fine! My biggest stressor when I was preparing for my extended business trip was what was going to happen with my cats while I was gone, and Jean alleviated every single fear or worry I ever could have possibly had. From the photos and updates she sent it was very clear that my cats loved her, and she loved them, which is more than I ever could have asked for. She’ll be my first choice for cat care from here on out.

Great care, great contact, Jean sends photos every day. My cat liked her very much and quickly became friends. When I came to pick him up he didn't want to go home 😄. I recommend this caregiver.

She keeps a flexible schedule, is home most evenings, and enjoys starting her days early, which allows her to give boarded cats real attention rather than quick check-ins. She has experience caring for cats and is comfortable administering oral medications (pills) when needed.

If you’re looking for a peaceful, home-based boarding option, Margarita’s apartment offers a warm and secure setting where cats can truly relax.

Contact us and send more details about your cat(s) and the service you need. We will do our best to match you with the best caregiver available in your area.

Stephanie’s connection to animals runs deep. Growing up, she spent summers visiting her family’s farm in South America, where feeding and caring for animals was part of daily life. Those early experiences shaped her belief that pets provide comfort, calm, and a strong sense of family—values she brings into her caregiving today.

Born and raised in Flushing, Stephanie is bilingual and working toward her CPA license. She describes herself as patient, attentive, and genuinely devoted to making cats feel safe and loved while their humans are away.

What you can expectWhen your cat stays with Stephanie, you can expect:

• A safe, indoor-only boarding environment
• Daily care, playtime, and companionship
• Regular updates and photos while you’re traveling
• A caregiver who treats your cat with the same care she would give her own

If you’re planning a trip and want peace of mind knowing your cat is in a calm, caring home in Flushing, Queens, Stephanie would be delighted to help.
