Great people we have met! - Robin

9/25/2025

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, my name is Robin Dann. I have always loved animals as a kid. As an adult I had multiple cats of my own, mostly rescued strays. At the moment I do not own any pet but I do miss having them around! I have a cat-sitting experience and look forward to making it a regular part of my life. I live alone in a comfortable one-bedroom apartment, work part-time in a design studio and don’t go out much, so your pet will get lots of attention and play in your absence. The one bedroom apartment with plenty screened windows is in a doorman building. Apartment is on second floor. Building is located in Midwood neighborhood in Brooklyn NY.

If you are located around the Midwood neighborhood in south Brooklyn, Robin might be available to take care of your cat/s while you are away. Contact us and send more details about the service you need, we'll be glad to help you.

Robin watched my cats for over a year, and I could not have asked for a better sitter. She not only kept them safe and well-cared for, but she also truly loved them and provided them with a home. I am eternally grateful to her. If I should ever need a catsitter again, I know I can count on her to provide them with the very best care.

Robin was great! It is very clear that she deeply cares about the well being of her feline visitors and goes the extra length to give them all the attention and cuddles they require. My cat is a big cuddler and Robin rose to the challenge. She made him feel safe and happy in her home

Great people we have met! - Xialen

9/19/2025

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! My name is Xialen (pronounced sha-len) and I love cats. So much so that besides having a family cat and hanging out at cat cafes, I volunteer every week at a no-kill, non-profit cat shelter just to spend time with more cats. One of the advantages of volunteering at a cat shelter is that I’m always exposed to all kinds of cat personalities and have learned how to read their body language. I’ve met such a wide array of cats and no matter how friendly or sassy or how old they are, I always willingly stay behind after my shift to play and give them the love and attention they so deserve. It also helps with establishing that sense of trust which is something I prioritize with every cat I encounter so he/she can feel comfortable in my company. That same amount of love and care will be given to your cat when I visit him/her.

I am a freelance baker/cake decorator and I work from home which means my schedule is very flexible. As a fellow cat owner, I know how much you will be missing your beloved feline friend so you can count on me with regular updates. I love taking pictures of cats just as much as I love playing with them. My entire camera roll is proof of that.

I look forward to keeping your cat company while you’re away.

Kitty in NY provides cat sitting visits to help you during short trips and long weekends. A loving caregiver will visit your cat/s in your apartment. You will receive an update after each visit. Contact us and send us more details about the service you need.

I booked two sitters for this trip since my usual sitter Albena was not available the first few days. Xialen was amazing for the first three days! She took great care of my two cats and she has a wonderful personality. Albena was wonderful as usual, my cats love her. I will book with Kitty in NY again!

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 is amazing! Nurturing, kind and responsible. She provided detailed daily inforl on our two kitties along with adorable pictures. Will definitely be requesting her in the future.

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. Xialen followed all of my extra instructions, and it was a great help. This is the second time she has watched Kee Kee, and Kee Kee didn't even seem to miss me once I returned! Probably because Xialen did such a good job keeping her company every day.

Xialen is such an excellent caregiver. My cat, Ziggy, loves her, and she always is super communicative and sends a ton of photos with detailed updates each day. She really cares, and it shows!

Xialen shows up reliably at the times she is supposed to and gives our cats consistent, personalized attention. One of our cats is very shy, but he has really come out of his shell for Xialen; he loves getting pets from her and purring for her! Our other cat is more playful, and Xialen always gives her the chance to "hunt" her favorite mouse toy.

Xialen was SO wonderful. Easily my favorite Kitty in NY caregiver, which is saying something! She was extremely communicative, very caring and loving toward my cat, and sent great photo and video updates. She made the entire process stress-free and easy. She also is obviously such a cat person, and further proof is how easily my shy and anxious cat warmed up to her, both when we met together in my apartment and during her visits while I was away. I look forward to working with Kitty in NY and Xialen again!

Xialen was amazing! Our cats tend to be blue when we leave, but this time it was as if we've never been gone. They were happy and friendly when we got home and were clearly well taken care of!

This service was invaluable to us and is highly recommended. We needed someone gentle and caring to watch our sweet little hypersensitive headcase of a cat, Tommy. Jose was patient and responsive, and the cat sitter they sent us was wonderful--very responsible and helpful. The updates and adorable photos she sent us of Tommy made it bearable to be away from the little jerk for a few days.I booked two sitters for this trip since my usual sitter Albena was not available the first few days. Xialen was amazing for the first three days! She took great care of my two cats and she has a wonderful personality. Albena was wonderful as usual, my cats love her. I will book with Kitty in NY again!

Ruxandra provides boarding services and cat sitting visits in Astoria

9/13/2025

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! My name is Ruxandra Iancu and I've been an animal lover my whole life. I've had dogs, cats and a bunny, who lived happily to be 8 and a half years old. I don't currently have any pets and would love the opportunity to either house a cat in my own home, for the duration of your vacations, or to stop by your place and make sure your kitty gets some quality time, play time and proper care.

If you are leaving the city for a short trip we recommend cat sitting visits. A caregiver will visit your cat in your apartment. For your longer term needs in-home boarding is the perfect solution. You bring your cat to the caregiver's apartment where she/he will be treated and their own pet. Your cat will be the only pet in the apartment. 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.

Ruxandra is an amazing caregiver. This was my second time working with her. The first time, she fed my cats in my home, the second time, I boarded my cats in her home. Both times, she was incredibly attentive, asked great questions, was extremely communicative and caring, and sent great photos on a regular basis. My cats are very particular and aren't used to strangers, and took to Ruxandra very quickly. She is clearly an animal whisperer and has kind, calm, energy. I would not hesitate to use her again or to recommend her. It made my trip so much less stressful knowing my kitties were in a loving, caring environment!

Every caregiver I have had with Kitty in NY has been lovely, but Ruxandra took the extra care to meet me in person beforehand. Because she took the time to meet the cats, I knew I could trust her with my kitty friends. Thanks, Ruxandra!

We want to let you know that Erica provided excellent care of Persha during our trip last week. Erica closely followed our instructions, sent daily updates, and offered a safe and loving environment to our kitty. Persha was a bit reluctant to engage at first, but by the end of the week, Erica had established a warm relationship with her. We would like to recommend Erica very highly to your future clients.

We were also very pleased to work with you and KITTY in NY in placing Persha. You made the process easy and stress-free!

Thank you, John!

Great people we have met! - Laura

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!

A native of Romania, I lived in Belgium for a number of years before coming to the US. I now very much enjoy life in New York City, and this is home. As a licensed Real Estate professional I often work from home, and have a flexible schedule. My one bedroom apartment, located in East Harlem (111th Street), has the space and ambience for your kitty to play. Since I have a backyard with trees your kitty can enjoy watching the birds and squirrels from the window.

Presley was 7 year old when he adopted me. He was chuck-full of personality. When I sat in a chair he’d jump in my lap. He constantly followed me around the house, slept in bed with me, and showed his discontent when I was going out. A very playful fellow he loved having his belly rubbed. He lived to be 14 years old and I miss him to this day.

My friend has a new kitty, just 6 months old. She gets very excited when I visit, jumps around and plays with everything that moves, chews on my fingers…ah, so adorable.

Laura provides cat sitting visits in the Upper East Side and East Harlem. Laura is the perfect option. Cat sitting is a great option for short term services or a very shy cat. She will take care of you cat/s until you return. Contact us and send more details about the service you need.

Laura LOVES cats and took really good care of our cat Obi. She didn't simply feed him, change his water and cleaned his litter. We were away for 2 weeks and Laura sent us daily updates with pics and videos of Obi playing with her, or doing the cat's thing; hanging out oblivious to human presence:) He obviously was in good hands. Laura understood Obi's routine immediately and went along with it . First eat, then play, then hang out, then little trip to the kitchen to check if by any miracle there was more food:) I highly recommend Laura. She will take good care of your furry friend.

Barbara provides cat sitting services in Forest Hills

9/8/2025

At KITTY in NY we are proud to work with a wonderful network of caregivers. Over the years, we’ve chosen people who share one special quality: a genuine love for cats!

My name is Barbara and I can provide cat sitting services in Forest Hills, Queens. Throughout my adult life I have lived with a cat. Having recently lost my cat (who lived to be 16-1/2 years old), taking care of other people’s cats is a good way to continue to have them in my life. I am very sensitive to each particular cat’s personality and needs and will provide as much affection and attention as a cat indicates it wants.

I was born in Brooklyn but lived in San Francisco for 25 years. There, I worked as a Project Manager for a court-appointed Receiver/Bankruptcy Trustee and, following that, solely-owned a craft store. Since returning to New York City I worked in retail for 15 years at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

My L shaped studio apartment has nice windows and good space for cats to run around. I am retired and would be home much of each day. I would be happy to provide additional information about myself should you wish.

If you are located in Forest Hills and need to leave the city for a few days, Barbara might be available to help you with your cat/s. Cat sitting is a great option for your cat’s comfort, since our caregiver visits your home to provide care, attention, and companionship while you’re gone. Contact us with details about your cat and the service you’re looking for — we’ll be happy to get back to you as soon as possible.

City Cats: Why Felines Rule the Urban Jungle

9/5/2025

If you’ve ever walked through New York City, chances are you’ve spotted them: cats peeking out of bodega windows, lounging on brownstone steps, or ruling the apartment window sills like furry landlords. Gatos and NYC go together like bagels and cream cheese.

Life in the big city can be noisy, fast, and overwhelming—but cats? They’re the masters of calm. While humans rush for the subway, cats stretch, yawn, and remind us to take life one nap at a time.

Why do cats thrive in the city?

Small-space champions: A studio apartment in Manhattan may feel like a shoebox to you, but to a cat, it’s a palace full of secret corners.
Street-smart ancestors: Even indoor cats in NYC inherit that “don’t-mess-with-me” energy. Pigeons, beware.
Window entertainment: Who needs Netflix when you have fire escapes, traffic, and the occasional squirrel to watch?

The city cat is always watching.

The city cat is always watching.

And let’s not forget the famous bodega cats. These furry employees keep stores rodent-free, greet customers with a flick of the tail, and sometimes even guard the cash register (okay, mostly they nap on it). They’re so much part of the city that many New Yorkers feel a corner deli isn’t complete without one.

At Kitty in NY, we know how important your feline roommate is. Whether you’re heading out of town or just need a helping hand, our sitters and hosts make sure your urban jungle king or queen is treated like royalty—while you handle your busy city life. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you're looking for, we'll be glad to help you.

Bodega royalty: every corner store in NYC needs its own feline manager.

Bodega royalty: every corner store in NYC needs its own feline manager.

Because at the end of the day, New York might be the city that never sleeps, but cats? They’ll nap right through it.
