Tina - survey 7/11/2023 * * * * * Helen was reliable, which was very important to us. She also showed she cared about our two cats. She asked questions when she needed to, and she was also able to make decisions on her own. We were very confident that our cats were in good hands, which is important when you are traveling. Aoiffe - survey 9/12/2021 * * * * * Helen is a gem! I felt such ease knowing Groucho was in her care, being not cared for, but loved. Dominique - survey * * * * * From when we first had contact with Helen she was friendly and informative about the process. Our cat, Anu, took to her from when she came for the free initial introduction which immediately help set our minds at ease. While we were away Helen provided daily emails with photos, and her emails made us smile. When we got home Anu had clearly been well looked after.

She provided multiple-paragraph email updates daily after each visit and clearly know how to keep the cats happy! Couldn’t recommend her more strongly! Sandy - survey * * * * * We love Helen! She loves our cats Alex and Stanley and it's clear that they love her. Helen also sends the best email and photo updates. We picked up the kitties from Helen's place yesterday and they were calm and happy. Couldn't ask for more :) Joanna - Yelp review * * * * * My boyfriend and I had Helen cat sit our two-year-old tabby siblings this summer when we went out of town for the weekend. I can't express how crazy we are about our cats -- they are our babies and we could never put a price on their well-being, safety, and happiness. In the past we've had family watch them, so we were nervous about having a cat sitter. Thankfully, a friend of mine recommended Helen and boy did we luck out. Helen is incredible. She's very funny, kind, and warm, and knows just the right way to handle every type of cat personality. Our boy is a little piggy and tries to eat his sister's food, our girl hisses at strangers and hides. But she did everything right to make them as comfortable as possible. She sent sweet, detailed emails after her visits along with lots of photos that put us immediately at ease. She took care of feedings, litter, water changing, and cleanup, leaving everything immaculate. We totally trusted her in our apartment and with our kitties. I can't say enough about Helen and am so relieved we found someone who can care for our cats when we need it. Very highly recommend!! Brittanae - survey * * * * * Helen is AMAZING! I couldn't be happier with her professionalism and help throughout the entire boarding process - my Napoleon, who can be timid with new people at first, warmed up to her immediately.

Before I officially booked her, she invited me to meet her at her apartment; she showed me all of the supplies and furniture she keeps for caregiving and told me stories of her experiences with shy or difficult cats, which put my mind very much at ease. I will definitely contact Helen next time I need a caregiver for my cat! John - survey * * * * * Helen was great! I appreciated her thoroughness in letting me know how Roxy was doing each day, and it was obvious she was really looking out for Roxy and her best interests. Amy - survey * * * * * Helen had come to visit our kitty while we were away for short trips in the past, and we (and the cat) already had a good relationship with her. After 10 days at Helen’s apartment this time our cat looked very happy and comfortable, and we could tell that she had received all the attention she could have wanted.

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 a big animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a beloved cat and many other pets including a dog and I actually thought I was a dog person for a long time, until I lived with two cats in 2020 and fell in love again! There's nothing more special than a bond with a cat, and I truly love meeting each one and discovering how unique their personalities are. I'm a gouache/watercolor artist and often paint animals and pet portraits; I even discovered a lot of old drawings from when I was a kid were of cats! I think it's so important to give your cat space at first and get to know them, I'm a gentle empath and will make sure your cat has the best stay in my home. I'll provide lots of cuddles and playtime - if that's what they like! I'm also a film nerd and love watching old 80's and 90's thrillers, riding my bike around Brooklyn, and recently took up knitting which goes well with my cat girl status. I'd love to get to know your kitty BFF! If you're located in Brooklyn, around Prospect Park, Sidra could be the best place for your cat/s to stay while you are away. Send us more details about your cat and the service you need, we'll be glad to help you.
___________________________________________ REVIEWS Kainoa - by survey 05/26/2023 ***** Sidra was an absolute dream of a boarder for my cat Kodak. She sent photo and video updates every day which made me feel so reassured that he was so happy and comfortable with her. When I had to extend the boarding a few weeks, she was more than happy to and so easy to communicate with. If you are like me and get nervous or guilty when you have to go away from your cat, Sidra provides a wonderful, loving home. Abbey - by survey 01/19/2023 ***** Sidra did not just exceptionally care for, but loved our cat. She went above and beyond to text photos regularly that showed us how happy our cat was. We really cannot recommend her enough. Sarah - by survey 09/30/2022 ***** Sidra is a caring, communicative and experienced cat sitter who made me feel super comfortable leaving my cat in her hands for an extended period of time. She regularly sent photos and texts with updates which was so nice to see while away. Her apartment is well equipped for a cat and she even has a cat tree! I could tell that Penny quickly came out of her shell and loved staying with her. I would 100% recommend Sidra as a cat caregiver to anyone! Carl - by survey 09/19/2022 ***** Sidra looked after our cat Ripley for 3 months while he was waiting for an export permit to travel overseas. Couldn't have asked for a better carer. She was happy to take his toys and furniture so he felt comfortable, logistics around food and litter were straight forward, and she even took him to the vet for the required check-ups in the lead up to his departure. Regular updates with lots of photos and videos, one very happy relaxed boy! He's now here with us on the other side of the world and settling in like he never left us! Tiffany - by survey 05/05/2022 ***** Sidra was exceptionally kind and provided piece of mind while boarding my cat, Lux. I appreciated her communication when it came to bringing Lux and also in the flexibility to pick her up. She provided wonderful updates so that I knew how the stay was going and I was very appreciated of her professionalism, my cat is shy and Sidra has the magic touch in getting Lux comfortable and happy quickly. I will always seek out Sidra in the future and will recommend her to anyone that asks! Thank you!! We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers.

REVIEWS 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. Austin - follow up survey 01/03/2024 * * * * * Oscar is 5 Stars! The Best! Fred - follow up survey 12/30/2023 * * * * * We loved Oscar. He’s the best cat sitter we’ve had. He is really wonderful. I would love to have him every time we go out of time! Sally - follow up survey 12/26/2023 * * * * * 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. Austin - follow up survey 01/05/2023 * * * * * Oscar was the best! He could not have done a better job. My cats miss him! Jessie - follow up survey 01/10/2022 * * * * * 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. Jake - follow up survey 12/27/2021 * * * * * 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. Elena - follow up survey 11/29/2021 * * * * * 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. Amy - follow up survey 11/23/2021 * * * * * Oscar was excellent. He sent wonderful pictures and was so kind to my cat. You can tell he really enjoys his work. Chris & Kevin- follow up survey * * * * * 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. Melanie- follow up survey * * * * * Oscar is great!! Goes above and beyond. Martha - follow up survey * * * * * We love Oscar like family! We trust him completely!

He met our expectations and sent us great updates while we are away. We felt confident with the service and trusted him to take care of our cat. It was a wonderful experience. Very seamless and easy. Jerry - follow up survey * * * * * This is maybe the third or fourth time that Oscar has taken care of my cat. I've never had a single complaint, and will continue to book with Oscar if I can! Julian - follow up survey * * * * * 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. Jerry - follow up survey * * * * * 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. YiLing - follow up survey * * * * * Oscar is great. Very friendly and attentive to my cat, and sends me informative texts. Responsible and helpful. Katherine - follow up survey * * * * * Oscar is the best caregiver I've ever seen.

Very happy with the service! Elena- follow up survey * * * * * 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. Casey - follow up survey * * * * * 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! Jeremy Y. - review * * * * * 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! Aaron S.- review * * * * * 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!!! Inara N.- review * * * * * 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 ! YiLing - follow up survey * * * * * 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! Rosemarie - follow up survey * * * * * Oscar was beyond amazing. Extremely caring, responsible and knowledgeable. Also left the space spotless! I also got sms with pictures twice a day! Naz - follow up survey * * * * * Oscar notified us both times he visited per day via text, and sent amazing pictures of our cat as well. I wouldn't be surprised if he's a photographer on the side! Christi - follow up survey * * * * * Seems like Oscar took great care of Sager. Sent me very personalized daily updated which really set my mind at ease. Kimberly and Timothy - follow up survey * * * * * 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. Hannah - follow up survey * * * * * Oscar was so nice and great at giving me updates all weekend! Jeff - follow up survey * * * * * Oscar sent us updates with pictures of our cat everyday around the same time. I was never worried about my cats the whole trip. When we got back the cats were just the way we left them and very happy to see us :) Melanie - follow up survey * * * * * Oscar is great! Very nice and responsible.He always sends videos and updates about how the cats are doing and leaves the litter box looking better than the way we left it. Always feel better leaving my cats in his care! Monday May 29th is Memorial Day and many of us have the day off which is great, because we can spend time with our cats or helping cats. There are a lot of great ways to celebrate Memorial Day with your sweet kitty. 1. Sleeping in Cats love holidays like Memorial Day because their humans often have the day off and get to sleep in and cats love spending time sleeping with their humans in a big soft warm bed. Don’t rush out of bed on Memorial Day, spend some extra time cuddling with your kitty. 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. 5. Get Educated
Having time off from work is also a great time to do some online research. We can all learn things that make us better pet parents. Whatever you do on Memorial Day, make sure you do it with your kitty. 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.

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! 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. ____________________________________________________
REVIEWS Jordan - survey 05/12/2024 * * * * * She sent cute videos of Morty and our shy cat really warmed up to her. Daniel - survey 04/18/2024 * * * * * Susan was able to take care of my cats at the last minute. She was very friendly and easy to plan with. She was very attentive to my cats and sent daily updates with photos and videos. 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 come from a cat lover family: my great-grand parents, my grand-parents, my parents had cats. For as far as I can remember, I have heard stories about and lived with cats. I feel totally comfortable with them. They are beautiful, intelligent and loving animals, I love and respect them deeply: I like the fact that they are close to their true nature. By nature I am a calm and sensitive person and adjust well to the cats' personalities which are so different from one another. A part-time teacher, I am at home a lot, translating or making craft, so I am able to spend time, play and have quality time with the cats, or let them be. Since my last cat Rose died, I don't live with a cat, and I miss the companionship. My apartment is a cosy and cats friendly one bedroom so no worries about scratching furniture or rugs! If you're located close to Harlem, Sophie will provide a perfect temporary home for your furry friend until you're available. In-Home Boarding is a good solution for long term or very social cats. Contact us and send more details about the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.
____________________________________________________ REVIEWS Daralyn - by survey 05/09/2024 * * * * * Sophie was flexible and accommodating with drop off and pick up Times, and followed feeding and medication instructions carefully. Makiko - by survey 02/21/2024 * * * * * She took great care of my diabetic cat Zooey. The photos she send me told everything. Zooey was very happy and content. I would love to have her as Zooey’s next pet sitter. This was first trip I had to take since Zooey developed diabetes but her emails and the photos made me feel very good leaving my cat with her. Thank you very much! Rebecca - by survey 06/02/2023 * * * * * She sent regular updates, including photos. The cat looked very relaxed. Nikki - by survey 06/06/2022 * * * * * Tiger is a little bit more high maintenance than most cats since she's 18 years old and has some litter box issues, so I was worried about finding a caregiver that would accommodate her for the month I was gone. Sophie was very patient and sweet, she knew a lot about caring for senior cats and I was very comfortable leaving Tiger with her while I was away! Tiger warmed up to her immediately (she showed Sophie her belly!), and I could tell that she felt very at ease in Sophie's home. I recommend Sophie to anyone who needs cat sitter services and would happily use her again! David - by survey 03/10/2022 * * * * * Merci pour pour la semaine - Shadow is behaving very well as is very calm following the week at Sophie's place!

KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! I have always been a huge animal lover growing up with all sorts of pets between dogs, cats, birds, rabbits and even a duck! I currently now have two cats who I adore. One of my cats has asthma and requires special attention so I know how important it is to trust your animal caregiver to take care of your fur baby. I will make sure your cat(s) has all the special attention and affection they need while you are away and to make sure that you also are updated as frequently as you would like. I moved to NYC almost 7 years ago after moving from Chicago. I also work down in Fidi and look forward to serving the areas in between as well.

____________________________________________________ REVIEWS Kara - survey * * * * * Maura was great! I was happy to speak with her ahead of time. She was kind and gave great details about how Frankie acted when she was there and wonderful pictures. She really put my mind at ease. THANK YOU! Molly - survey * * * * * They were very loving towards my cat, sent great pictures and detailed updates. Took very good care of my cat-son while I was away for both times I’ve used the service. The Abyssinian is a breed of domestic shorthaired cat in which each hair is banded with different colors. Kittens are born with dark coats that lighten as they grow over several months. The ticked effect (which is the trademark of the breed) should be uniform all over the body. Each hair has a light base with three or four bands of additional color growing darker towards the tip. The base color should be as light as possible. The typical tabby M shaped marking on the forehead is often found. The name refers to Ethiopia (formerly Abyssinia) from where it's thought to have originated. Recent research now places the origins of the breed in Egypt. British soldiers deployed in the North African coast returned home with kittens purchased from local traders. The original color standard is the reddish-brown. The sorrel (also known as cinnamon or red) has a lighter base with chocolate brown ticking. Their expressive eyes can be orange, gold, hazel, green or copper. They are medium sized cats. Abyssinians are very extroverted and extremely smart. They tend to be very close to their owners and are known for getting depressed when they don't get activity and attention from their owners. In-Home cat boarding would be the ideal solution for your Abyssinian if you plan to leave the city for a few days.

____________________________________________________ REVIEWS Lauren - by survey 05/05/2024 * * * * * Robert was super friendly and so good with Pandora!

Bonnie - by survey 06/07/2023 * * * * * I have a very shy cat and he came out to Robert immediately. I came home and everyone was themselves. Showed they were well cared for. He sent me updates which was appreciated. Stacey - by survey 02/22/2022 * * * * * Robert communicated with us before,during,and after the visit. It is always helpful to see pictures and get comments. Kara - by survey 01/28/2022 * * * * * Every time I've used Kitty in NY they have been kind, clearly interested in making sure my cat was happy and very observant of suggestions that put my cat at ease. Robert was wonderful, sent great updates and was easy to work 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! Hi, I'm Erin, & I'm a huge cat fan! I've been lucky enough to spend more than 4 decades loving & being loved by cats in my home -- so much so that my family has joked for years that we run an old cats' home. Because with us, life is so good, they just want to live forever...14 is "young" in my book! My husband & I live in North Brooklyn with Tuna (The Big Tuna) & Mayo (The Lady McMayonnaise), who we adopted in 2015 & 2016, respectively. We don't consider ourselves cat "owners," but cat "concierges," because really? They own us. We're here to put food in bowls, make the laser dot dance, & provide the comfiest of laps for naps & chin scratchies. I speak fluent scaredy cat, especially since Mayo was rescued from the rough streets of Brooklyn, & I can easily de-escalate aggression, as Tuna's native language was hissing. I'm highly skilled at lasers, cat dancers, & fishing lines, & I'm basically certified at disseminating treats. And 2 of my great life-with-cats accomplishments are teaching a former cat boss to use the toilet, and teaching Tuna how to "speak" to us, by pressing buttons. Because if you're willing to listen, every cat will tell you what they want. That's why I approach every cat I meet with patience, empathy...& song. When you leave the city for a few days, cat sitting visits is the best solution. The caregiver will come to your apartment and make sure your kitty has fresh food and water, clean bowls and litter and spend time with her/him. You will receive an update after every visit. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need, we'll be glad to help you find the best solution for your beloved feline/s.

____________________________________________________ REVIEWS Alexandra - by survey 05/02/2024 * * * * * Sharisse was very thorough in preparing for her appointment, including asking important clarifying questions (regarding feeding instructions, cat personalities, etc.) and checking in with me in advance of the appointment to reconfirm & ensure there hadn't been any changes. I appreciated that she also provided an approximate time window for when she would stop by. During the appointment, Sharisse followed our instructions perfectly, and went above & beyond with tidying up the cat litter area. I was super impressed and delighted that Sharisse brought a set of cat toys with her, and sent us photos and videos of playtime - Leo really enjoyed himself!

She told me that she really loves cats, which is evident. She bonded with my cat easily and I completely trusted her with him. She was also very flexible and easy to work with.
