She is lovely and has given a lot of love to Bobby. Anna sends photos and texts with updates. Her responsiveness is much appreciated. She has been quite patient with my kitten’s antics!!

I picked up Bonnie on April 22, 2024 from Anna Lokken. Anna did a fantastic job caring for Bonnie during the two months he was with her. He put on a little weight, which is good because he was a little scrawny looking when I dropped him off in February, and is coat is shiny and silken instead of flat and dull as it was in February. Anna kept me updated on Bonnie’s well-being and sent photos which his owner thoroughly enjoyed.

I highly recommend Anna to anyone in search of a caring and thoughtful cat sitter. An example of Anna’s care was immediate the day I brought Bonnie to her apartment. He yowled all the way from his home on West 86th Street and was quite agitated when he arrived at Anna's. To soothe him, she played calming music and within minutes he quieted down.

Thank you for your help finding a great temporary home for Bonnie—and at such short notice. I will gladly refer anyone looking for a cat sitter to your agency.

She was easy to reach and communicate with, and her apartment was clean and easy to access for drop off/pick up. Our cat seemed to be healthy and happy when we returned from our trip - he’s seemed stressed after some other hosts so I appreciate her and her family keeping him happy. She had everything packed and ready to go on pickup day making this a simple process. My only (minor) suggestion would have been to receive a couple of photos/updates via email with how things were going during the stay rather than just near the end - other caregivers we’ve used have done this every 2-3 days and it’s appreciated.

Jen provides cat sitting visits in Midtown Manhattan

1/14/2025

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, I’m Jen. Originally from Pennsylvania I’ve been a New Yorker for the past 18 years. I love all animals but have a particular soft spot for cats. I currently live with 5 sweet little rescues, two of whom are blind. All of whom are so very sweet and loving. Each of these darlings have been with me since they were kittens. Lucy and Lucky are the senior citizens, 15 and 14 years old. Lucky is a funny little boy who thrives on beauty treatments with the hair dryer and is obsessed with water. Actually likes to drink out of a glass. And this silly fella jumps in the shower with me. How cute is that! I am well-schooled in giving medications as well as shots or fluids, and have been through it all with them. Every morning I wake with a cat by my head and love it. I would love to help take care of your fur babies as well.

Jen will take excellent care of your cats while you're away. She will visit your cat/s and send photo updates after each visit. Contact us and send more details about the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.

Remembering a White Cat

1/11/2025

For Cory, Oscar and Jose

A white cat is your breath on a cold day.
A white cat is a tusk polished by ice,
while a continent freezes over.
A white cat is an avalanche in the Alps,
and the clouds below your jet.
A white cat watches.
A white cat waits.
A white cat is a flash in the forest
and a streak across your life.

When we had our initial meeting he was very respectful and he had a great vibe. He took the most amazing pictures and videos and gave daily updates.

Ryan - follow up survey 05/19/2024

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 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 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.

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!

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 consider myself a Cat Mom. When I was five I gave up on dolls when my parents gave me my first cat and I named her Marbles. I had her until the year I graduated high school. While Marbles will always hold a special place in my heart, I learned that I could love other cats. When I married John, I learned that he loved cats too. We had Fellini for over twelve years. When Fellini passed we were devastated. The only comfort for us came when we adopted two rescues Leo and Lucy. They filled our apartment with joy. Last year, Lucia passed at age 15 and Leo at age 18. They were our kids. We loved watching TV with them by our side, giving Leo his morning brush and playing with them way past our bed-time. While we know we can never replace them, we welcome house cats that need love when their family is away. We understand that each cat is unique and we follow all directions given by the cat’s family. It was always hard for John and I to leave our cats for a trip. We hope we can make people feel at ease knowing their cats will be loved and taken care of.

Theresa - I have been in education for over 30 years, first as a classroom teacher and later as an Assistant Principal in a New York City public school. I am currently semi retired but continue to work at my school a few days per week.
John - John is retired but continues to consult teachers on their retirement benefits several hours per week.

Theresa and John might be available to take care of your cat/s while you're away. Home boarding is the best solution for your long term needs, you bring your cat/s to the caregiver's apartment where she/he will be the only pet. Contact us and tell us more about your cat/s and the service you need, we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Roland took care of our cat Chessy really well. When we had dropped her off with Roland, he sent pictures of her settling down and making her way around in his home - hiding, coming out and exploring, eating food, using her litter box. The pictures made us relieved that she was doing ok. Roland also made sure he sent regulars updates/ pictures. He also allowed our cat to treat his home like her own home.

Additionally, Roland was very flexible with us regarding the pick up and drop off time. Our return flight was delayed by 2 hours and Roland was flexible with the pick up time being delayed by us.

Roland was so nice! He clearly made an effort to get to know Diesel and was so considerate of his needs. He is a mischievous young cat and Roland went with it, no problems. He sent pictures and videos every day of our cat clearly loved and enjoying his new setting. They played with him and he probably didn't want to come back home!

Roland is very punctual and responsible. He sends videos and pics of my kitties on every visit. My kitties are in good mood around him. He is very compassionate and connects with them very well. I see very active interaction such as playing with them and cuddling them. Routine service such as feeding and changing litter box are also taken care of in timely manner. I was very worried since this is the first time I’m away from my kitties for so long. But Roland’s service has assured me that my kitties are in good hands.

Barry provides in-home boarding and cat sitting services in the UWS, New York

1/7/2025

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!

Barry lives on his own in a studio located at 666 West End Ave (92nd St) in Manhattan. He loves animals and enjoys taking care of cats.

I'm a writer and editor who lives in a studio on the Upper West Side (90s/West End Ave.). I hail from Massachusetts but have lived in New York City for 30 years. I've boarded cats for several years now, and if you live within a radius of a few blocks and would rather have me visit your apartment to attend to your cat (I did that once), that's fine. I've taken care of several cats over the past few years (I wish I had a photo of Dexter!), and the cat you see accompanying my photo is one of my favorites, Eh-Gee (Korean name/Korean owners). Look at the face!

If you live close to the UWS in Manhattan Barry could provide a nice temporary home for your cat. He could also visit your cat/s in your apartment, cat sitting visits are recommended for short term services. Contact us and send more details about your cat and the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.

Barry was super friendly with me and my cat. He offered very clear instructions to drop off and pick up Kiev. He was great at providing regular updates on Kiev. I hope I can get him next time I have to travel again.

The email communication is always timely and precise. The sitter, Grace Mortimer, was just amazing and went above and beyond the outlined duties, particularly picking up and delivering back our cat. I have always had a good experience with Kitty in NYC.

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!

My name is Sean Chee. I'm a born and bred New Yorker, a full time freelance photographer, and a lover of all animals. Since I was a kid, I’ve grown up with 2 dogs, both living to 15 years old. I love them so much and am so grateful to them because now I’d love to share the love and care to other pets as well. I’m patient and very kind with them. I live by myself, so the company of a companion goes a long way. Please ensure that your feline friend will be treated with much love and attention.

If you live in Queens and need a temporary home for your cat, Sean could be available and ready to welcome your pet while you're away. In-home boarding is a good option for your mid/long term needs, you bring your cat to the caregiver's apartment where she/he will be the ONLY pet.

Hi my name is William, I'm a long time East Village resident who loves to care for and communicate with cats in my spacious ground floor apt. near Tompkins Square Park.

William did an amazing job caring for my 4 month old kitten. He gave him the attention he needed as a playful kitten and sent frequent updates that helped me relax while I was away. He is very knowledgeable with cats and very attentive to their behaviours!

William took fantastic care of my cats Remy and Georgia in August! They are young and can be a handful and he handled them great. Georgia is a kitten and it was her first time being at a sitter… She refused to eat for several days, but William was so great about trying everything he could to get her to eat, and she finally did!
I would definitely recommend and use him again. I also loved how communicative he was - especially when I knew Georgia was not eating, he was giving me plenty of updates that helped me not to worry too much.

William took excellent care of my cat who is pretty high maintenance and not very sociable. He made a point of learning about her preferences, daily routine, eating habits, likes and dislikes, etc. From the moment I met William I knew that my cat would be in very good hands. William loves and understands cats. He sent me daily updates with pictures and videos. My cat is rather hard to please and is not usually friendly with strangers. I was amazed at how quickly she warmed up to William. They say that cats are good judges of character. William is such a warm, kind and caring person that even my shy and unsocial cat felt at ease with him. I think she received more attention from him that she does from me. I would highly recommend William and will be happy to use his services in the future.

William was extremely attentive to my cats and was very patient to learn about each of their individual personalities. He provided me many updates and I felt very at ease knowing that he was providing very high quality care. His updates each day were also very thoughtful -- I didn't worry at all while I was away. I think William is my favorite sitter so far since discovering Kitty in NY. He truly deserves more credit!!

Everything went really well for my cat Matilda’s stay with William.

William took really good care of Matilda, was very thoughtful for her needs and kept me updated throughout. She settled in straight away and looked very relaxed and happy which gave me huge peace of mind while away.

We will be in touch next time we go away so we can book William to care for her again!

He was very good about staying in communication with me and Cleo enjoyed her time with him.Bill was very thorough and meticulous in following the care instructions and providing a comprehensive update every day through text.

Susan provides cat sitting visits in the West Village

1/2/2025

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 really like all kinds of animals, but I remember thinking even as a child that cats were especially endearing. I've had six cats of my own, including the gray tabby I have now, and I have cared for many more. I've given a lot of pills to cats, and I once had a diabetic cat that I gave shots to every day (and she recovered!), so I am comfortable with those situations. I live in the West Village, work from home as an editor and have an art studio in Brooklyn. My schedule is flexible, though mornings and evenings are when I'm most available to visit kitty clients. One of the great pleasures of cat sitting is that you have the opportunity to experience the incredible individuality of cats, who have personalities as varied as those of people.

Cat sitting visits is the perfect solution for your short term needs. The caregiver visits your cat/s in your apartment, you will receive periodic updates during the service. 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.
