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 Melissa - I've been a volunteer cat foster parent for two years, and a lifelong cat lover who's had many special kitties as pets. I pride myself on understanding cat communication and body language very well, and interacting with them on their terms. Whether they want to snuggle, play, or even hide, I create a safe and peaceful environment for them to be themselves. I love all of their unique personalities and delight in getting to know them, even for a short time. I've included pictures with me snuggling with my foster cats - from the most outgoing to the absolute shyest, I've bonded with all of them and they all have a special place in my heart! I know your kitty is one of your most special family members and I take the responsibility to care for them very seriously.

Meet Harley – Cat Boarding in Brooklyn by Barclays Center

8/21/2025

0 Comments

 
If you’re looking for a safe, loving, and attentive boarding option for your cat in Brooklyn, we’re thrilled to introduce Harley Chung, one of our trusted caregivers. Harley offers cat boarding in her bright and cozy studio apartment, located in a doorman building right by the Barclays Center.

Hi I go by Harley and I'm excited to be your trusted temporary cat caregiver. I used to have a cat named Latte Cat and I loved him so much but we had to go our separate ways when I moved across the country to NYC about 3 years ago. Maybe that's a sad story but I share that story to tell you that I could understand how much you might miss your pet even if you're temporarily out of town!
​

Currently, I'm working as a child & adolescent psychiatric nurse practitioner, and also working on my doctoral degree. I have lots of papers to write and because I do my best work at home, I would love to have quiet company and give lots of love to your cat baby while you're away. Hope to meet you and your pet soon!
Picture
Harley lives in a renovated, stylish studio apartment on the 27th floor of a modern doorman/elevator building. The space is filled with natural light from large windows (which are never opened, for safety), making it a bright and inviting environment for a cat. There’s a cozy bed for lounging and quiet corners for napping — perfect for cats who enjoy relaxing near their human companion. Since Harley spends much of her time working at home on her doctoral papers, she looks forward to having a feline friend by her side.

Harley’s background in healthcare as a psychiatric nurse practitioner reflects her natural empathy, patience, and attentiveness — qualities that extend seamlessly to her care for animals. With her calm personality and love for cats, she provides a safe and affectionate boarding environment.
​
If you’re traveling and want peace of mind knowing your cat is being cared for in a warm, secure space, Harley is ready to welcome your furry friend. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you're looking for.

Michelle provides cat sitting services in Lower Manhattan

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 am Michelle….. I am a resident of the Lower Manhattan Financial District for the past 18 years. I am 42 years old and have been a cat lover / owner my entire life. I have had cleaning jobs which entailed me being trusted with my client’s keys to their apartments. I had one cat Rumsfeld who was diagnosed with hepatic lipidosis, a disease which normally does not end well. This meant for a large part of his life I had to feed him and medicate him through a tube. I was able to nurse him back to health and he lived another 10 years. So I have experience dealing with sickly kitties and have no issues with medication…..

In closing I currently have 3 cats, Grissom, Brooklyn and Roger, who I love dearly. Roger even has his own Instagram page.  If given the opportunity I promise to show your furry companions the same love I show my own and to respect your personal space as if it were my own.
Picture
If you live downtown Manhattan Michelle would be happy to visit your kitties in your home. Our 30 min cat sitting visits include: ​​feeding, water refill, cleaning of all bowls, scooping litter box (change of litter when needed), cleaning of feeding and litter box areas, playtime and petting when cats are willing to interact and photo/video updates after each visit. Our cat sitters are insured and bonded.

Contact us and send us your dates/number of visits. We'll be glad to help you with your cat/s while you're away.

Michelle has been taking care of my cat for a while now. Cassie is getting older and she has several chronic conditions. She always takes great care of her. This last time, Cassie stopped eating and was acting sick. She didn’t hesitate to take her to the vet and take amazing care of her. I was so scared being away and although nothing could take away my fear, Michelle did an amazing job making sure my cat was cared for and safe. It honestly brought me to tears coming home to a cat that was eating and happy. I can’t recommend this company enough. and they are more than lucky to have someone compassionate, considerate and cat loving like Michelle working for them.

She was attentive to the needs of my cat...which were to leave her alone and give her space...and also not be intimidated by the potential of my cat being aggressive. Because of that vibe my cat did not appear for Michelle and then was super happy when I arrived home having not been forced to engage.

Danielle and Marshall provide cat sitting visits in Brooklyn an the FiDi, New York

8/16/2025

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!

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.

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!

Denny – Caring Cat Boarding in Jamaica Estates

8/14/2025

0 Comments

 
At KITTY in NY, we are proud to work with an exceptional group of caregivers who share one important quality: they truly LOVE cats. Over the years, we’ve carefully selected individuals who bring warmth, reliability, and compassion to every cat they meet. Today, we’d like to introduce you to Denny, one of our most dedicated boarding caregivers in Jamaica Estates, Queens.

I’m Denny Daniel, curator and founder of The Museum of Interesting Things. I’ve spent my life teaching both children and adults, which has given me a friendly, curious approach to the world—and to the wonderful pets I meet!
​

I work for myself, which means I’m home often and able to give your cat plenty of attention. My beloved rescue cat, Tristan, was my pride and joy—pampered and loved every single day. Over the years, I’ve also cared for countless cats belonging to friends, so I’m experienced with all kinds of feline personalities.

I live with my mother in a beautiful, clean, and spacious private home in Jamaica Estates, Queens. Here, your cat will enjoy the same level of care and affection that Tristan once did. I also have an apartment in the Village, where my museum resides, and I own a car—so I can even arrange pick-up and drop-off for your cat anywhere in the city.

I’m also a photographer and teacher, so expect picture-perfect updates—your cat will truly be the cat’s meow!

If you need to leave the city for an extended period, in-home boarding is the ideal solution. With me, your cat will be the only pet in the home, and you’ll receive regular updates throughout their stay.
Contact us today with the details of your trip, and we’ll get back to you promptly to arrange the perfect stay for your feline friend.

Denny looked after our Logan for about a week. He was very welcoming, and gave Logan his own space to explore and decompress. Logan seemed comfortable almost right away! Denny was very communicative, and sent updates and pics almost every day we were away. It was great having peace of mind that our boy was well looked after. Pick-up was a breeze - Denny had Logan's water fountain and litter tray bagged up and ready to go when we arrived. He's also quite the character! It was a treat getting to know him.

Should You Take Your Cat on Vacation? Probably Not — Here’s Why

8/7/2025

0 Comments

 
As cat parents, we often wish we could take our furry companions everywhere. A weekend getaway to the mountains? A beach vacation in the sun? It sounds lovely — for you. But what about your cat?
​
The truth is, most cats do not travel well, and bringing them along on vacation can cause more stress than joy. Here’s why staying home might actually be the best gift you can give your cat while you’re away.

Cats Are Creatures of Habit
Unlike dogs, who often enjoy new places and social adventures, cats thrive on routine and familiarity. Their comfort comes from their territory — the smells, the sounds, the hidden corners they’ve claimed as their own.
Disrupting that routine, even for a short trip, can lead to:
​
  • Anxiety or behavioral changes
  • Refusal to eat or use the litter box
  • Hiding or aggressive behavior
  • Motion sickness during transport

Planes, Trains, and Car Rides = No Fun for Cats
Travel itself is rarely enjoyable for cats. Whether it’s a car ride filled with bumps and strange noises, or the overwhelming experience of flying in a carrier under an airplane seat, the journey is usually terrifying for them.

Even if you reach your destination safely, a hotel room or rental home smells nothing like home — and your cat may spend the entire vacation under the bed.
Picture
The Best Place for Your Cat? Home.In most cases, the kindest and safest option for your cat is to stay in their familiar environment while you’re away.
This can be done in two ideal ways:
  1. Cat Sitting (In-Home Visits)
    A trusted sitter comes to your home to care for your cat — feeding, cleaning, playing, and offering companionship without changing their environment.
  2. Cat Boarding (Short-Term Relocation to a Pet-Sitter’s Home)
    This option can work well for social or adaptable cats, especially if your home will be empty for an extended period. Just make sure your cat is gradually introduced and the boarding home is quiet, cat-friendly, and stress-free.

When Might Travel Be Okay?
There are a few exceptions:
  • You’re moving long-term and your cat will be part of the relocation.
  • Your cat has already traveled regularly and is used to it.
  • It’s a long stay (several months) and you're able to prepare the destination carefully.
In these rare cases, prep is key: get a secure carrier, talk to your vet, consider calming pheromones, and create a “safe space” for your cat at your destination.

Final Thoughts
We get it — your cat is family. But bringing them along on vacation can often do more harm than good.
​
Instead, let them stay safe and stress-free in the comfort of home, with a trusted sitter who understands feline needs.

At Kitty in NY, we’re here to make that happen — so you can travel with peace of mind, and your cat can nap in their favorite spot, just like always.

Erika provides boarding services in West Harlem and cat sitting services along the west side of Manhattan and the Bronx (close to the 2/3 train line)

8/4/2025

0 Comments

 
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.
​Erika has been cat-sitting with Kitty in NY for a few years. She is excited to offer in-home boarding for her clients. She grew up with three cats and was the loving cat-mama to Figaro for 8 years. Fig was a special cat; anxious, high-needs with his health, and older when she adopted him. He taught her patience and lots of ways to administer medications. Erika is comfortable administering fluids and taking care of high-needs kitties. She understands how stressful it is to leave your sweet kitty when they have lots going on. 

She is a bit of a cat whisperer - loves getting even the shyest/suspicious kitties to engage in play. However, she never forces cats beyond their comfort zone - doesn't mind giving a cat its space if that is what it wants. ​

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.

Erika was FANTASTIC! She did everything that a cat caregiver should do. She scheduled a visit to my home to meet my cat, Smokey, to ensure they got along. Smokey took to her in about 10 minutes and even sat on her shoulder. The transition from my home to her place went smoothly. I received photos and videos of Smokey's stay, which really helped ease my anxiety about leaving him with a stranger. I would definitely use Kitty in NY again in the future.

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!!

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. She was also incredibly responsive and communicative while he was in her care, which helps put me at ease given this was my first time ever boarding him.

Helen was great! She is a Kitty in NY pro. I looked forward to all of her daily emails and photos - she has quite the knack for writing! Not only that, but her apartment was fully prepared and furnished for a kitty heaven. We were lucky to have found her and Theo was lucky to have made a new friend.

Helen emailed me nearly every morning with a detailed description about my cat's behavior and included several photos. Her emails were the highlight of my mornings!
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!

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.

Helen was extremely responsive during the booking and initial visit, sent us wonderful updates and photos while we were away, and clearly cares for and enjoys playing with our cats. It was a pleasure working with her and we'll definitely request her again!

When I first met Helen, I liked her right away because she had a calm demeanor and seemed very comfortable with cats. She listened to my concerns and was willing to work with me to meet all of Miu Miu’s needs.  She also provides personal care and detailed accounts of my pet's activities. While I was away, I received regular e-mails with pictures of my cat and a detailed update.“

Sophie (my cat) bonded wonderfully with Helen. Sophie is older and requires more attention than a younger kitty, but Helen made me feel very comfortable during my extended vacation (2 weeks) that she was happy and well cared for.  Helen was nice enough to send frequent updates.  Also reassuring!
