Cat Sitting on the Upper East Side – Meet Gwen

11/27/2025

We’re pleased to introduce Gwen, a highly experienced cat sitter offering in-home visits on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

Originally from Ireland, Gwen has lived in the UES since the early 1990s. Before transitioning into pet care, she worked in corporate aviation as a flight attendant and crew supervisor—roles that required calm judgment, strong communication, and exceptional attention to safety and comfort. She brings those same qualities to every cat she cares for.

Experienced, reliable, and medically confident

Gwen has cared for cats her entire life and has extensive experience with:

Senior cats
Cats requiring daily medications
Cats with complex or chronic medical needs

Her approach is patient, proactive, and highly attentive, offering the kind of careful monitoring that gives cat owners true peace of mind.

A calm and caring presence in your home

Since her own building is not pet-friendly, Gwen considers cat sitting the “next best thing” to having a cat of her own. She takes pride in making each kitty feel safe, loved, and understood, and she treats every home with the same respect she brought to her aviation career.

She is available for daily cat sitting visits throughout the Upper East Side.
If you’re traveling and need someone dependable to care for your feline family member, Gwen may be the perfect match.

Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you're looking for. We'll be glad to help you!

We’re delighted to introduce you to Maya, a trusted caregiver offering boarding in her welcoming one-bedroom apartment in West Harlem.

Maya is a native New Yorker and a visual artist who works from home, providing a calm and attentive presence for the cats in her care. Her apartment is bright, cozy, and thoughtfully arranged for feline comfort: screened windows with security gates, wide windowsills perfect for sunbathing, and several elevated spots ideal for cats who love to perch up high. She has shared her home with cats before, so she understands their rhythms, moods, and the small details that make them feel safe.

Maya can host up to two cats. Cat owners receive regular photos, videos, and daily updates, ensuring peace of mind throughout their trip. The building has an elevator and the apartment is quiet, making it a comfortable space for shy or relaxed cats alike.
Warm, gentle, and genuinely devoted to animals, Maya looks forward to welcoming your kitty and providing a peaceful, loving home-away-from-home in Harlem.

At Kitty in NY, we hand-pick caregivers who genuinely love cats and offer safe, attentive, and personalized care. We provide boarding in private homes and cat sitting visits in your apartment, depending on what best fits your cat’s personality and needs.

What Cats Teach Us About Living Together

11/13/2025

0 Comments

Sharing your home with a cat is more than having a pet—it’s an everyday lesson in respect, balance, and quiet companionship. Cats don’t demand attention; they invite connection. They remind us that love doesn’t need to be loud to be real.

1. Respecting Boundaries
Cats are masters of personal space. They come close when they feel safe, and step back when they need a break. Living with them teaches us to listen without words, to recognize moods, and to understand that affection means more when it’s given freely—not forced.

2. The Art of Independence
While dogs often mirror our routines, cats preserve their own rhythm. They nap when they please, observe us from a distance, and return when they’re ready. They remind us that it’s okay to take time for ourselves—to recharge, to watch the world go by from the window, to just be.

3. Patience and Tolerance
Cats have a quiet wisdom. They forgive our clumsiness, our noise, our schedules. They adapt, but never lose themselves. Watching a cat live is watching balance in motion—softness and strength coexisting in perfect measure.

4. Love Without Possession
The bond between cat and human is a partnership, not ownership. They teach us to love without control, to share space without domination. A cat’s affection is a privilege you earn, not something you command.

At Kitty in NY, we understand these lessons better than anyone. Whether you choose boarding in one of our trusted caregivers’ homes or prefer cat sitting visits in your own apartment, our goal is always the same: to care for your cat with respect, patience, and genuine love.

Contact us today to learn more about our services and how we can make your cat’s time away from you as peaceful and natural as possible.

Tehrier will enjoy taking care of your cat while you're away.
