My name is Kim. I'm an interior designer that recently relocated my design studio in my two bedroom apartment. I recently created a new business "the curated home office" that is completely virtual.  Now I have time to be home and not running around or directing a design staff. Cats are the style queens and kings so I will have to ask them if the paint color is the right shade. 

My first cat appeared out of nowhere on the roof of my house, two weeks after my father and grandmother died suddenly. I realized at the tender age of 12 that cats were always going to be part of my life. They always find me. 

​Living in Tokyo a cat appeared in my window . I found Bee Bee, Chi Chi and the Boo
under similar circumstances, abandoned and in need of a home . I also rescued a dog from a dumpster with cigarette burns . Her name was Pitunia (yes a tiny pit bull ) She was more like a cat than a dog living with two other felines. She lived to be 14 years so now you know I am not spring chicken. Like I said  they find me.

My  Millie  cat , renamed Millie Vanili had a lot of health issues at 15.  I recently had to put her down during the height of the pandemic. It was traumatic .

I am not ready to adopt another cat quite honestly and I miss them so dearly ... why not show that love to another's sweetie pie. I am the perfect aunt I always have gum and tissues in my bag and I always have catnip and toys in my house. ​

If you're located on the Lower East Side or East Village, Kim will provide a perfect home for your furry friend until you're available. In-Home Boarding is a good solution for long term or very social cats. Contact us and send more details about the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.

I’m Murphy, a 27 year old Midtown East resident. I moved to New York after graduating college in Ireland. 
 
I work from home making little bumblebee wish bracelets and selling them to raise awareness for saving the bees! I usually spend my free time volunteering for the Honeybee Conservancy of NY and spend some mornings at a dog daycare, but cats are my absolute favorite. 

Having always had cats growing up, I've helped my family foster kittens until they were ready to be adopted and have plenty of experience with neonatal kittens too.  

I would love to have some kitty-companionship whenever I’m homesick for Ireland :) 

If you live in Midtown East, Murphy will be glad to help you with your kitty. She provides in-home boarding.  Contact us with more information about the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.

​I miss having a cat to take care of.  I miss the special energy a cat has and spreads around naturally. Lisa, Lola, Cosetto and Milky the names of my cats, each one of them was unique and special. None of them are with me. Two I have lost and the last two are in Italy being taken care by my mother.  I am so happy to be able to help you with your precious cat!

I work for an Italian theater company in NYC. I am a certified Body Dynamics Instructor. I love to paint and draw. I love to cook. “Taking care” is what I do. The Energetic dimension of life is the one dimension that has made my life interesting, intense and incredible!

If you live on the UWS Jim would be glad to help you with your cat. He provides in-home boarding.  Contact us with more information about the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.

Hi! My name is Branson LB, and I've been taking care of cats my whole life.  As a kid, my most beloved cat was an orange tabby named Amber. He was truly a member of the family as he was loving, cuddly, and would even fetch like a dog! Growing up with cats, I came to love cats while also understanding that every cat is different and has a unique personality. Soon after graduating college in Los Angeles, I began to foster and take care of kittens in my apartment, while also finding them each a forever home. Now, living in New York, I have recently begun to regularly cat sit in the city. It has brought me so much joy that I started to want to do it even more. I live in a minimal, modern junior one bedroom in the Lower East Side. It's clean and there is plenty of room for cats to perch, as well as plenty of places to tuck away.

I've been living in New York for about two and a half years. I previously worked at BuzzFeed as a video producer, and I now work as a freelance videographer and editor. In my free time I enjoy biking around the city, exercising, and reading in the park.

I hope I have the opportunity to meet you, and take care of your cat!

Both Andy and I grew up surrounded by cats. Andy (from Philadelphia) is the youngest of 4 siblings and has lived with cats since he was a baby. I grew up with 3 sisters in Norway and had up to 5 cats at a time. We helped care for and clean up after our cats and have fond memories of all of the cats in our lives. Our earlier apartments haven’t been suitable for pets, but one year my roommate had two, and I realized how nice this city can be when you have cats to come home to. After getting married last May we purchased a beautiful pre-war condo apartment in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. The apartment is clean, spacious, and minimal making it a perfect host apartment for kitties. We always spoke about bringing cats into our lives when we get settled. We might get cats of our own down the road, but right now helping out with temporary stays is perfect for us!
​
I’ve been working freelance as a makeup artist for 11 years and moved to NY in 2012. I met Andy at work where he does production and photo. In our free time we enjoy watching a play or a movie, biking around the city, yoga, and have friends over for dinner. 

We are excited to get to know the cat owners in our new community :) ​

I've always had cats in my home as a child- and, has HAD one for Eleven years as an adult living in my pet friendly apartment. Sharing my space, my time, and my love was very rewarding. It was a Blessing to have had the pleasure of knowing first-hand the true beauty of an animal's unconditional & unwavering love. And, that's why for me cat boarding is perfect, because I get to experience all over again the joy of a loving animal in my care for a length of time. Any time with a cat is PRICELESS!


I am also a Licensed Family Day Care Provider. I have been caring for children since 1996- to this present time. And, as I have developed great rapports with children & their families, I hope to do the same with you! I am just a caregiver by nature.

Sharisse was awesome! She wrote down all the instructions to be sure not to miss anything. Every morning and night, she sent me photos and videos of my cat with some text saying exactly what she had done with him and how he was doing. The videos showed her playing with him, brushing him, or him eating. He looked like he was doing really well and having a lot of fun with her, so I wasn't worried about him at all while I was gone! She told me that she really loves cats, which is evident. She bonded with my cat easily and I completely trusted her with him. She was also very flexible and easy to work with.

Sharisse was excellent! She went above and beyond to make my cat feel at home. In fact, my cat did not want to come home after staying with her!  She made sure to send regular updates with cute pictures to let me know how my cat was doing
I feel at ease going away knowing my cat will be well taken care of and spoiled with love and affection. I highly recommend her!

​I have always had kitties in my life, I can't remember a time when i didn't. I grew up with a rescue cat named Meeko (still miss him everyday!) and have taken care of friends' cats here and there since I moved to the city. To prepare to have kitties come stay with me through Kitty in NY I've moved all my plants out of the way, hidden all my cords, and picked up some mouse toys.

I am an actress who has many jobs to support myself and my art and cat sitting would be perfect because I'd get to work from home a lot more often and have the company of cuddly kitties!

I’m a true cat lover. When I grew up, my family always had cats in the house. At one point, we had a male and two females and both had litters at the same time, so for a while there were 12 cats in the house! One of those kittens joined the family and lived to be over 20 years old! 

I am a painter, puppet maker, and union film and stage performer. I’m also a licensed NYC tour guide. I worked on boats giving whale watch tours off the coast of New England for five years as the onboard narrator/naturalist. Lately I have been doing film writing, so I am frequently at home. I have lived in the same apartment in the East Village for nearly 40 years. My old cat passed a few years ago, and I began taking care of cats with Kitty in NY. I have a regular cat boarder who stays with me every month, and a few regular cats that I visit. I am caring and responsible, and will enjoy spending time with, and getting to know your cat. After each visit, I always send a text or email with photos and a full report. You can be confident that your cat will get full attention and care!

If you live in the East Village, Elliot will be delighted to take care of your cat.  Kitty in NY will help you find the best caregiver for in home boarding or cat sitting services.  Contact us and send more details about your cat and we will be happy to help you.

I come from a cat lover family: my great-grand parents, my grand-parents, my parents had cats. For as far as I can remember, I have heard stories about and lived with cats.  I feel totally comfortable with them. They are beautiful, intelligent and loving animals, I love and respect them deeply: I like the fact that they are close to their true nature. By nature I am a calm and sensitive person and adjust well to the cats' personalities which are so different from one another. A part-time teacher, I am at home a lot, translating or making craft, so I am able to spend time, play and have quality time with the cats, or let them be. Since my last cat Rose died, I don't live with a cat, and I miss the companionship. My apartment is a cosy and cats friendly one bedroom so no worries about scratching furniture or rugs!

Hi from Katyarina and Hailey! We both genuinely have a love for animals of all kinds, and both grew up in homes filled with them. We both have always had cats of our own, and we've missed having them around since we moved to the city, so we are more than excited to share our home with your kitties while you're away and have lots of love to give! We are very familiar with the range of attention that cats want and/or need and recognize that every cat is wildly different, each with an amazingly unique personality from the next, and that is what makes them so special, and we are more than willing to accommodate to their needs! 

We are both 20-year-old students at the Fashion Institute of Technology, I study Business Management and Hailey studies Advertising/Marketing, and Communications. We currently share a cozy apartment in the Gramercy Park / East Village area of Manhattan, with lots of natural sunlight pouring in for your kitty's daytime naps! We both work part-time jobs in fashion and retail so we are home more often than not and would have plenty of time to share with your felines!:) We look forward to meeting you and your furry friends! 

If you are looking for a loving temporary home for your kitty and are in Murray Hill or Gramercy or the surrounding area we recommend you connect with Katyarina and Hailey.  Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

I have loved animals my whole life and have a special fondness for cats. As a little girl, I fondly remember my sister’s cats Pinky [short for Pinkerton G Fobs] and Pegasus  Pinky had a litter of kittens under my sister’s bed as I watched with fascination. I shall never forget that amazing experience. In my adult years, I have had 2 wonderful cats: a Silver Tabby, named Isis who was with me for 20 years and an Abyssinian, named Ra for 17 years. I’ve been without cats in my home for quite a while now and miss their endearing company. I took care of a wonderful cat, named Mr. Pinkerton for one of Kitty In NY’s clients. It was such a pleasure. You can see a photo of “his Royal Highness”, Mr. Pinkerton, in the photo below. What a coincidence that he happened to have the same name as my sister’s cat! I’m now in a position again where I have the time to open my home to take special care of new, mysterious, feline guests! 

I am a former professional dancer and currently work as a New York State licensed acupuncturist and massage therapist. I work within about 25 minutes walking distance from my home and have been living here for 31 years. So, I’m always close by when taking tender loving care of kitties.

Hi from Jesse and Camille!  We live in Prospect Heights in a two bedroom that gets lots of sunlight and has a long hallway that cats love to run through.  We have fostered multiple cats over the last five years and love having an animal companion in the house with us.  Our most recent was Izzy, a beautiful blue korat, who found a permanent home with friends of ours.

Jesse works in film marketing and Camille is a magazine editor.  We both work from home on most days, so we are lucky to spend lots of time with any feline visitors we are hosting. We're happy to have you come over in advance to get a feel for us and our place, and to see how your cat takes to it!

My childhood was very colorful in that I grew up in a private home with a large
backyard in the Bronx. My mother, trying to recapture her own childhood in Cuba
and Puerto Rico, had hens and roosters living in our backyard, as well as a
monkey and a talking bird in cages in our living room. She eventually sold the
monkey due to much mischief--like always trying to look up my dress (ha ha).
In adulthood, I worked as a certified dog groomer at pet-related businesses for 2
years (k-9 styles and Doggie Do). This led to my running a small pet grooming
business from my East Village apt. I eventually began boarding dogs, and
sometimes cats. I did this for around 7 years while getting a university degree.
Overall, I've had long-term as well as intermittent years of experience with
animals. The passing of my last set of pets-- 3 cats and a German Shepherd--
around 8 years ago saddened me so much that I decided not to have pets for
awhile. But now I'm ready to open my heart and home again to these lovely
creatures, albeit as visiting guests and temporary companions this time around.  

Currently, I teach 25 hours a week at a private school in Manhattan and
transcribe from home. I have also been trying to write a book so, as you can see,
I do spend plenty of time at home. I will be available during the winter and spring
holidays of 2018/19, and any other time in between the holiday seasons. My
apartment is a small one-bedroom and it is minimally furnished-- just the way I
like it. It is safe for cats to play, sleep, and just chill out. I am an affectionate person by nature and the pet(s) I host will be the object of my touch, unless your
cat, whose boundaries I will completely respect, is more standoffish.

If you live in the East Village or the surrounding area, Magdalena will be delighted to look after your cat and send regular kitty updates.  Kitty in NY will help you find the best caregiver for in home boarding or cat sitting services.  Contact us and send more details about your cat and we will be happy to help you.

​
I had my first kittie in college and my second while living in San Francisco. Returning to New York, I lived for years in a building where I could not have any pets. So when I moved to my current location, in Manhattan's East Village, I made up for lost time. That was way, way back in 1992. I contacted an animal rescue agency named BeingKind. (That was the precursor to KittyKind in Petco.) Soon I took in a family of six abandoned cats from BeingKind. I included an old scratched photo, taken before the days of cell phones and similar devices. The momma and poppa cats were about a year and a half old. Teenagers in Love I called them. The four kittens were six weeks old and just learning to walk. They were about the size of my hand (not counting the tails). I eventually adopted out two kitties and kept four felines to myself.

They all lived exceedingly long lives, so I must have been doing something right. The momma cat lived to 18 years of age, the poppa and one daughter both lived to 19, and the final daughter lived very close to 21 (about 20 years and 9 months).

After the family went to Kittie Heaven, I took a break from being a caretaker. That ended in about nine months. One night I went dancing at Barefoot Boogie (highly recommended) and met someone who worked for Kitty in New York. That marked the beginning of the next phase of my love for felines, as I soon became an Official Kitty Caregiver.

I can now offer lots of love, a spacious one bedroom apartment, and decades of experience for my feline friends. I am able to give injections, pills, subcutaneous fluids, and blood glucose monitoring for cats with medical needs.

I am now partly retired but work about 20 hours a week as a psychotherapist. This allows me the luxury to spend lots of time with my four-legged friends. As you might guess, I love to write so I enjoy sending frequent emails or texts plus loads of photos to cat owners. This allows the owners to enjoy their vacations or business trips, knowing that their kitties are happy and doing well.

"I’m writing to highly recommend Jeanne G as a cat caregiver.  She’s been an amazing sitter and boarder for our 15 year old male cat, Stinky.  We met Jeanne early this year through friends of friends after finding out our prior sitter was no longer available.  We were planning for a month long trip to visit Taketo’s family in Japan and needed someone that could manage Stinky’s strict raw food diet.  After meeting her and going over the details of his somewhat involved meal preparation, we were impressed with her attention to detail and the level of interest she showed for all aspects of his care and personality.  We were able to take our trip with no worry about Stinky’s well-being and received regular updates from Jeanne on how he was doing.  He was well cared for while staying at her home, settling quickly into a happy routine with no meal-related or other issues.  I was a little worried that he would show some aggressive behavior that he had in the past, and had warned her about it, but was ecstatic to hear that he not only behaved but was letting her brush him regularly, something he hadn’t tolerated before"
