Jenni was a wonderful sitter for our cat Biscotti. Even upon first introductions, we felt comfortable and could trust in her experience with caring for cats and providing a comfortable and stimulating home environment. We very much appreciated Jenni's regular updates with photos/videos, as well as her proactive communication in flagging potential issues (which were not issues at all, but we were thankful for her thoughtfulness). We would love to work with Jenni again in the future and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others!

Jenni was incredible. She spent so much time with my cat, and when I came home, my cat didn’t want to leave!

At KITTY in NY, we’re proud to introduce some of the wonderful caregivers who make our service so special. Over the years, we’ve had the pleasure of working with outstanding individuals who all share one thing in common: a genuine love for cats.

Oscar has been a trusted caregiver with our agency since 2015. He has had a deep connection with animals since childhood, and cats in particular seem to gravitate toward him. Known for his reliability and calm presence, Oscar ensures every detail of your cat’s care is covered—from timely feedings and medication administration to spotless litter and feeding areas. Clients rave about his daily updates, which often include beautiful photos of their cats looking relaxed and happy in his care.

A longtime cat parent himself, Oscar deeply misses his own feline companion who passed away at 16 years old. Today, he channels that love into providing exceptional in-home boarding. When your cat stays with Oscar, they are treated like royalty—roaming freely, lounging in sunny spots, and enjoying quiet companionship.

His light-filled apartment in Jackson Heights is a cozy, peaceful retreat—perfect for cats who need a temporary home while you’re away. Whether you’re traveling for a few days or several weeks, Oscar offers a loving, secure environment and frequent updates to give you complete peace of mind.

Oscar was BRILLIANT! He went above and beyond in caring for my cat, sending me photos and videos while I was away (which made me want to come to the cat!!). But Oscar also dealt with me with kindness and compassion - I had to mess him around a bit, due to health issues I'm dealing with - he never once made me feel like I was being painful (even though I was). He even took the cat litter rubbish/wet food cans home with him, and didn't leave them for me to deal with. I'd recommend Oscar in a heartbeat - he clearly loves cats, but he's also a really good human being.

Oscar was GREAT. He got our crabby kitty to play with him which i didn’t think would be possible. She is so skeptical of strangers and has swiped at many cat sitters in the past. The photos Oscar sent showed our kitty engaged and happy and i also really appreciate his consistent schedule and updates. He also took beautiful photos of her! 500000 stars.

Oscar was a perfect caregiver to my Maxie on the two days I had to be away. When Oscar first met Maxie, he let Maxie sniff him in order for Maxie to get comfortable with him. Oscar asked me all the necessary questions in order to provide the best service. He played with Maxie and took gorgeous pictures and videos of him during his visits, he cleaned the litter box, and after feeding Maxie, he took the empty cans of food with him to throw away elsewhere as there were no signs of discarded cans in the kitchen trash. He even cleaned Maxie's food bowls and let them dry by the sink. He also took a picture of my apartment keys so that I would know where to find them. I couldn't have been more pleased. Thank you!

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.

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.

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.

Jean is the absolute best. She went above and beyond for my cats while I was away for just over two months, and really went above and beyond for me as well, making sure I had whatever updates she could provide, even if only to say that the cats were doing just fine! My biggest stressor when I was preparing for my extended business trip was what was going to happen with my cats while I was gone, and Jean alleviated every single fear or worry I ever could have possibly had. From the photos and updates she sent it was very clear that my cats loved her, and she loved them, which is more than I ever could have asked for. She’ll be my first choice for cat care from here on out.

Great care, great contact, Jean sends photos every day. My cat liked her very much and quickly became friends. When I came to pick him up he didn't want to go home 😄. I recommend this caregiver.

At Kitty in NY, we are proud to work with some truly wonderful caregivers. Over the years, we’ve selected people who have one thing in common: they genuinely LOVE cats! ​

Hi, my name is Elizabeth. I love cats and have always had them since I was a kid. Since losing my blind senior cat, Shoe, I miss the company and love of these precious animals in my home! I would be happy to care for them in my apartment while you are away. They will receive the most diligent care and attention possible! 

If you need to leave the city for a few weeks or months, Elizabeth may be the perfect person to help with your cats. In-home boarding is the best solution for longer absences: you bring your cat(s) to the caregiver’s apartment, where they will be the only pets and receive all the attention they deserve.

Contact us with more details about your cat(s) and the service you’re looking for—we’ll be happy to help!
