We love cats!! Most recently Ivy, our cat of 12 years, passed away from cancer. She was a beautiful loving member of our family. Prior to that my husband Don had Miranda for 21 years! We have recently adopted some kitties and we now provide cat sitting services. We are experienced animal lovers and recognize that no two beings are exactly alike and must be appreciated so. We believe in sharing, respect and kindness. I work in an public elementary school for NYC, My husband is a writer. We have a daughter just leaving for college and a middle school boy whose passion is acting, music and basketball. Please feel free to contact us with any questions. We would love to meet your family. Best regards, - Carmen & Family

Carmen was great with my kitties and went the extra mile when their feeders got jammed. I definitely would recommend her to a friend!

She took her job very seriously and seemed to enjoy it. My cat was happy and content and well-fed upon my return. The daily pictures were wonderful to see. It eased my mind when I was able to see my cat seemingly lovingly interacting with Carmen. I told her my cat is going to miss her more than she missed me!

I needed to board my cat last minute over the holidays and Carmen and her family were so accomodating and flexible withy schedule. She was very communicative and took such good care of my cat!

Carmen was amazing with our shy boy, Pookie. During the meet and greet, Carmen immediately brought Pookie out of his shell, and (as was proven by video evidence from one of her daily text communications with us) she was even able to get in some petting while we were gone. (I think that was a FIRST in the six years we've had him--most of our cat-sitters don't even *see* Pookie when they come over!) In short, Carmen's gentle and patient manner as well as her obvious love of animals makes her a true cat whisperer. We can't recommend her highly enough!

My cat sitter fell through last minute for the holidays and I am so happy to have met Carmen and her family. They were so accommodating and friendly from the moment I spoke to them on the phone and I was relieved to have met a family with so much love and knowledge for cats. They were also very flexible with my schedule for drop off and pick up. My cat Apollo was a little scared and anxious on the ride up to her apartment since it was his first time being outside of our home but Carmen made sure he was comfortable and he settled right in. She communicated with me everyday while I was away and sent me pictures and videos, I could tell my cat was happy to be there. I would recommend Carmen to any cat owner, she is my #1 go-to!

I love KITTY IN NY! Carmen and her family were absolutely wonderful to our cat, Jay! I cannot recommend her services enough! In the beginning, I was completly apprehensive to leave my cat with a family that I didn't know, but after we arranged a meet and greet, I immediately knew that our cat would be in great hands. They are such a sweet and caring family who have tons of experience with cats. Jay immediately felt at ease when he entered their house, and made himself at home on their couch. The day of our vacation, I got a bit emotional, but they reassured me he would be in good hands. And sure enough -- he was! They sent me pictures and videos of him happy and sleeping in their bed. He was receiving plenty of affection and cuddles and appeared very happy and well taken care of. The best part of our vacation was after a long day of activities, we would come back to our hotel and turn on our wifi to receieve tons of videos and pics of him enjoying his stay! I would highly recommend Carmen and her family for your cat's stay. Thanks so much!

We love Carmen and her family! They're extremely thorough in understanding our cat's needs, and friendly as well. We feel so at ease knowing our cat is in their care, and they send us photo updates quite often while he's with them. Their kids are such a treat for our young cat to play with, and we know he's always a little bummed to come back home. We'd recommend Carmen to everyone!

Carmen was a wonderful caregiver. As soon as I met her, I knew my cat would be in good hands while I was out of town. Carmen is responsible and caring. I will definitely ask her to take care of my cat again.

Carmen and her lovely family took excellent care of our very active/playful cat. We received daily updates with pictures and videos, and arranging drop off and pick up was flexible and straightforward. Would definitely use her services again!
