She was experienced and knowledgeable with caring for an elderly, special needs cat. Jen was the FIRST sitter we have ever had who did NOT have any issues medicating our Ittybitty. We will definitely request her for our next kitty-sitting needs.

Boarding is ideal for cats who enjoy company and adjust well to new spaces, especially for longer trips when daily visits aren’t enough. Your cat will receive attentive care, playtime, and plenty of affection. Contact us to check Kristen’s availability and schedule your cat’s stay.

Nina will be glad to welcome your kitty in her apartment. You will receive periodic updates during the service. Your cat will be the only pet in the apartment! Contact us and send more details about your cat and the service you're looking for. We have options all over the city. Our cat sitting visits are recommended for short vacations and holidays while boarding works best with very social cats or long term.

I really appreciate that the caregiver took care of my cat so kindly and warmly.

Get to know our caregivers. KITTY in NY has spent years selecting outstanding cat lovers to care for your feline family.

Carolyn has loved and cared for cats her entire life. She lives in a bright, pet-free one-bedroom in Williamsburg with one roommate. The apartment is a second-floor walk-up with an open floor plan, cozy lounging spots, and screened windows at the front and back for sunbathing and bird watching. There is plenty of space for a curious cat to explore while staying safe and comfortable.

At KITTY in NY, we are proud to work with caregivers who combine skill, reliability, and genuine affection for every cat they meet. Maureen is one of those special people.

A long-time member of our team, Maureen returns to Kitty in NY after taking time off to nurse her own newly adopted cat back to health—an experience that deepened her already strong understanding of feline needs. With years of cat care experience, she is skilled at engaging with playful, chatty cats while also offering gentle comfort to senior kitties who simply crave a soft pet or a warm tummy rub.

When asked why Maureen would like to go back to Kitty in New York, she remarked:  “I love taking care of these sweetie pies and making them feel special and then sending a photo to their parents to let them know their little ones are in good hands.”

If you live on the Upper West Side and need a trusted, attentive cat sitter, Maureen could be the perfect match. Cat sitting visits are ideal for short-term care, whether for a quick trip or a few weeks away. You’ll receive photo updates after each visit, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your cat is happy and cared for.

Contact us with details about your cat(s) and the service you need—we’ll be happy to connect you with Maureen or another trusted caregiver.

Maureen was wonderful. She was extremely communicative and sent photos with every visit. It was clear from the pictures that our cat Penny was getting plenty of love and attention.

Jennifer - by email
As always, Maureen was wonderful. She takes such great care of my cats, sends me detailed updates and lots of pictures, and is very responsive to any requests that I have. I feel totally happy leaving the cats in her care. With other cat sitters, My shy cats would often hide the entire time, but with her, they always come out and say hello. Thank you, Maureen!

Christina and Victor - by email
Maureen was attentive, thoughtful, and so very sweet to Suki! We loved all her photos and timely emails, and felt comforted by all of her knowledgeable questions when she first came to visit us and meet Suki. We would be so happy to have Maureen come take care of Suki again. She was great!

Maureen was very good from the moment I met her. I felt very comfortable leaving my two fur babies in her care. She took notes on everything I was telling her and was very attentive and asked questions. While I was away, I received Daley updates and pictures and she did an amazing job!

Kevin - by email
Maureen bonded with my cat Cooper instantly at their first meeting, so I felt confident that this would work. Maureen then provided excellent communication – before and during the trip – with quick response to emails and much appreciated daily updates and photos showing Cooper at play. Best of all, Cooper seems completely happy, healthy and well cared for. Maureen was terrific!

Tim - by email
Maureen was easy to coordinate with to set up the initial meeting. During our vacation, Maureen sent us pictures every day. When we arrived home, the cats were healthy and happy.

Dan - by email
Maureen was incredibly responsive, really knew her stuff about taking care of my cat, went over and above in terms of making sure he had food that he needed and would eat despite his just having switched over to a renal care diet. He’s also a tricky cat to bond with, but she had him purring the whole way, & kept me up to speed with photos and updates. It really put me at ease that my little guy was in good hands. 

Suzanne - by email
Maureen was fantastic! She was caring and loving with our favorite boy, Leopold :-) She sent us great photos and kept us updated on all his funny shenanigans! It was great to know that he was comfortable and well taken care of while we were away. I will definitely be requesting Maureen in the future!

Amanda - by email

Maureen was awesome – could tell right away that she’s a type of person who forms a good rapport with animals, so made me feel very comfortable leaving my cat behind. Throughout my time away morning sent lots of pics each day so I knew my cat was having a good time too.

Allegra was very friendly, responsible and she was great with our cats!

At Kitty in NY, we’ve always believed that cats are not just pets—they are extraordinary creatures with hidden powers that make them fascinating companions. Living with a cat means sharing your home with a little superhero disguised in fur. Today, we’ll uncover six of their most incredible “superpowers.”
​
1. Night Vision
Have you ever wondered how your cat manages to dash across the room in total darkness without bumping into anything? Cats’ eyes are designed to capture even the smallest amount of light, giving them superb night vision. While they can’t see in complete darkness, their vision is about six times more powerful than ours in low light.

​2. Super Hearing
Your cat may seem to be napping, but don’t be fooled—those ears are always on alert. Cats can hear higher frequencies than dogs and humans, detecting even the faintest rustle of a mouse or the softest squeak of a toy. This ability comes straight from their wild ancestors, who relied on acute hearing to hunt.

3. Whisker Radar
A cat’s whiskers are far more than adorable facial features. They are highly sensitive tools that help measure spaces, detect changes in air currents, and sense nearby objects—even in the dark. Think of them as nature’s GPS system, guiding your cat safely through any environment.

​4. The Balancing Tail
One of the reasons cats are so graceful is their tail. It acts as a counterbalance, helping them land on their feet, walk across narrow spaces, and make those famous acrobatic jumps. The next time you see your cat leap effortlessly, remember: it’s their tail keeping them steady.

5. Healing Purrs
Purring isn’t just a sign of happiness—it’s also believed to have healing properties. Studies suggest that the vibrations of a cat’s purr can promote relaxation, lower stress, and even support bone healing. When your cat curls up on your lap and purrs, it’s like having a built-in therapy session.

6. Incredible Agility
Cats can jump up to six times their body length in a single bound. Combined with their flexible spines and lightning reflexes, this makes them some of the most athletic creatures in the animal kingdom. Whether it’s leaping onto the top of a shelf or chasing a toy, their agility is simply unmatched.
​
Living with a cat means living alongside all these amazing abilities every single day. At Kitty in NY, we love celebrating what makes cats so special—and making sure they’re cared for when you can’t be there. For shorter trips, our Cat Sitting service is the ideal option: a caregiver will visit your home and provide food, playtime, and updates after each visit. If you’re leaving New York for several weeks or months, In-Home Boarding is the perfect solution—your cat stays at a caregiver’s apartment where they’ll be the only pet and receive plenty of love and attention.

Contact us today with more details about your cat and your travel dates—we’ll be happy to help you find the best care option for your feline superhero!
