Ellie is such a good cat sitter - she really loves cats and took such excellent care of Laffy, he looked healthier after his stay with her (his coat looks healthier, his breath smells better, etc). She regularly sent updates and photos and was very accommodating of my requests. I am so grateful to her and Kitty in NY.

If you are looking for a quiet, attentive home for your cat in Manhattan, Julia offers a calm and comfortable boarding environment on the Upper West Side.

Julia lives alone in a spacious one-bedroom apartment on West 102nd Street. As an author and writer, she spends much of her time working from home, which allows her to give plenty of attention and companionship to the cats she hosts.

She has loved and cared for cats throughout her entire adult life, raising them from kittens to adulthood. Although she recently lost her own beloved cat, her home is still fully prepared with everything a visiting kitty might need, and she truly enjoys having feline company around again.

Safety is also a priority. All windows in the apartment open only from the very top and have secure bars, so cats cannot fit through them. Julia’s home provides a safe indoor space where cats can relax and feel comfortable.
​
Julia is experienced with administering medications, including pills and fluids, and she is also happy to learn any specific care routine your cat may need.

Her quiet home, flexible schedule, and lifelong affection for cats make Julia a wonderful option for cats who enjoy a peaceful environment with lots of human presence.

Kitty in NY offers both cat boarding in carefully selected homes and in-home cat sitting visits throughout New York City, so you can choose the option that best fits your cat’s personality and routine.

William took fantastic care of my cats Remy and Georgia in August! They are young and can be a handful and he handled them great. Georgia is a kitten and it was her first time being at a sitter… She refused to eat for several days, but William was so great about trying everything he could to get her to eat, and she finally did!
I would definitely recommend and use him again. I also loved how communicative he was - especially when I knew Georgia was not eating, he was giving me plenty of updates that helped me not to worry too much.

William took excellent care of my cat who is pretty high maintenance and not very sociable. He made a point of learning about her preferences, daily routine, eating habits, likes and dislikes, etc. From the moment I met William I knew that my cat would be in very good hands. William loves and understands cats. He sent me daily updates with pictures and videos. My cat is rather hard to please and is not usually friendly with strangers. I was amazed at how quickly she warmed up to William. They say that cats are good judges of character. William is such a warm, kind and caring person that even my shy and unsocial cat felt at ease with him. I think she received more attention from him that she does from me. I would highly recommend William and will be happy to use his services in the future.

Finding the right place for your cat while you’re away is never a small decision. What most owners are really looking for isn’t just a place to stay, but a home where their cat will feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for. In the Sheepshead Bay area of Brooklyn, Edwin offers exactly that kind of environment.

Edwin lives in a spacious one-bedroom apartment that is clean, well organized, and thoughtfully maintained. The space is calm and uncluttered, giving cats plenty of room to move around, explore, and settle in at their own pace. All windows are properly screened and secured, creating a safe indoor setting at all times.

“I became interested in cat boarding after taking care of a friend’s cat for two weeks while she was on vacation. That was when I realized how important it is for owners to have peace of mind knowing their pets are safe and cared for by someone they can trust.”

​Edwin is attentive, organized, and understands that every cat needs time and space to adjust. If you live in South Brooklyn, Edwin may be a great option to care for your cat(s). Feel free to contact us and tell us more about the service you’re looking for.

At Kitty in NY, we offer both cat sitting and in-home boarding in carefully selected private homes, depending on what works best for you and your cat.

Rachelle was a great caregiver. She was very communicative and sent us a lot of photos while we were gone. Her place was clean and tidy, which I felt provided a calm environment for the cats. She had a lot of cat toys that kept them active. She also made note of potential behavioral abnormalities (e.g. no poop in days, cat hiding for the most part of the day, etc.) and checked with us to see if that was normal or not.

If you’re looking for a calm, caring home for your cat in Queens, Linda offers a wonderful boarding option in Woodside. She lives in a spacious one-bedroom apartment, with all windows fully screened, creating a safe and comfortable environment where cats can truly relax.

Linda has shared her life with animals for as long as she can remember, and that experience shows in the way she connects with them. She currently volunteers at a shelter, working with cats of all ages and personalities. As she puts it: “I’m used to all the personalities and peculiarities among them.” That familiarity translates into confident, attentive care tailored to each individual cat.
​
Her approach is simple but thoughtful. Cats staying with Linda are not just “looked after,” they are welcomed into a home. “In my care your cat will enjoy their own mini vacation with personalized attention,” she explains. Whether your cat is playful and social or prefers quiet independence, she adapts to their needs. There’s space to explore, cozy spots to nap, and even some natural “entertainment” from birds visible through the window.

Linda is also comfortable administering medications such as pills when needed, and she understands the level of trust it takes to leave your cat in someone else’s care. Her goal is to make both you and your cat feel at ease from the moment you walk out the door.

At Kitty in NY, we personally meet and evaluate every caregiver to ensure they provide a safe, loving environment. We connect cat parents with experienced, independent caregivers like Linda for both boarding (in the caregiver’s home) and sitting (in your home), depending on what works best for you and your cat.

Get in touch and tell us more about your cat(s) and the care you need. We’ll be glad to help you find the best match and make sure your cat is in good hands while you’re away.

For cats who prefer a calm home environment while their owners travel, a private boarding space with a dedicated caregiver can make all the difference.

In Bushwick, Brooklyn, Maarten offers cat boarding in his well-kept two-bedroom apartment located in an elevator building. The space is clean, quiet, and comfortable, giving visiting cats plenty of room to relax and settle into a peaceful routine during their stay.

Originally from the Netherlands, Maarten moved to New York about a year and a half ago for a professional opportunity in the fintech industry, where he works as a compliance officer. Cats have been part of his life since childhood, and he says he has “always had them around since I was a kid.” Many of the cats he has lived with were adopted from shelters, each with their own personality and needs.

Because of this experience, Maarten understands that every cat is different. As he explains, “not every cat is the same, and they all have their own boundaries and preferences.” His goal is to create a comfortable and respectful environment where visiting cats can feel safe and relaxed.
​
Although his own cat currently lives with family in Europe, Maarten still enjoys the companionship of cats and is happy to care for feline guests while their owners are away. As he puts it, hosting cats helps fill what he jokingly calls “a big furry hole in my heart.”

At Kitty in NY, we carefully select caregivers who genuinely love animals and understand the responsibility of looking after someone’s beloved companion.

For cat owners traveling from New York City, Kitty in NY offers two types of services depending on your cat’s needs. Our cat boarding service allows cats to stay in the private home of one of our trusted caregivers, where they receive personal attention in a calm environment. We also offer in-home cat sitting visits, where a professional caregiver comes to your apartment to feed, play with, and care for your cat while you are away.

Both options are designed to provide reliable care so you can travel with peace of mind knowing your cat is in good hands.

At KITTY in NY, we’re delighted to introduce our network of compassionate and reliable caregivers. Each one is carefully selected for their genuine love of cats and their ability to provide a safe, loving environment while you’re away.

Hi! My name is Emily and I live in a quiet apartment on the UWS. I have always been a cat person and had a rambunctious orange boy for eight years.

Hello, my name is Robin Dann. I have always loved animals as a kid. As an adult I had multiple cats of my own, mostly rescued strays. At the moment I do not own any pet but I do miss having them around! I have a cat-sitting experience and look forward to making it a regular part of my life. I live alone in a comfortable one-bedroom apartment, work part-time in a design studio and don’t go out much, so your pet will get lots of attention and play in your absence. The one bedroom apartment with plenty screened windows is in a doorman building. Apartment is on second floor. Building is located in Midwood neighborhood in Brooklyn NY.

If you are located around the Midwood neighborhood in south Brooklyn, Robin might be available to take care of your cat/s while you are away. Contact us and send more details about the service you need, we'll be glad to help you.

This was my first time leaving Coco for boarding. He had just turned two and was recently neutered, and as an extremely cautious cat parent, I was very hesitant. Coco is also a rare British Shorthair whom I invested a lot in, so it was important for both of us to feel completely safe. I specifically did not want a traditional boarding facility where he would be caged around other cats and dogs, and instead wanted a sitter where he would be the only cat. I was fortunate to find KittyinNY, who was able to accommodate this request and match me with Yana.

My work schedule was very unpredictable, and I had to change my requested dates a few times (which I wouldn’t recommend), but KittyinNY was still able to work with me. Yana lives about 40 minutes away, so I would likely only use her again if absolutely necessary due to the distance. That said, she was wonderful with Coco. She sent daily videos, and he looked happy and comfortable. I was away for two weeks over the holidays and felt at ease knowing Coco was in her care.

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 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 does a great job of taking care of my cats, but it's his photography skills that set him apart. Every photo he sends has perfect lighting and captures my cats in a great pose. Artwork really.

My cat clearly loves Oscar because he is affectionate and plays with her. He always is very caring and asks me all the right question about her care. Oscar has proven many times that he is reliable, even in emergencies.​

Booking the service, the initial "meet-and-greet", to the daily updates. We never had to worry if our cat was happy and well-taken for. Oscar's attention to detail and sweet updates made being away from our fur baby that much easier!

Oscar took care of my cat for a little less than a week. I have zero complaints...everything went smoothly and Oscar followed all of my written instructions  (which weren't too intricate - fortunately, I don't have a high maintenance cat). He also took amazing photos of Asher in action during their daily playtime! I would definitely use them again and highly recommend others to as well!

Kitty in NY and our cat sitter Oscar are life-savers! Oscar cared for our cat as if it was his own, petting, playing, feeding and loving her every single day that we were out of town on vacation. What's more, he sent amazing pictures and status updates of our kitty each day!  Can't recommend him and the company highly enough - thank you Oscar and kitty in NY!!!

I immediately was drawn to how warm, genuine and all around nice Oscar was - everyone loved Oscar ! My cats loved Oscar ! My hubby loved Oscar ! Even my doorman loved Oscar ! Even almost a month later, when I told my doorman Oscar is coming back to watch the cats again - they were like: " Oh, yeah, Oscar, very nice guy."

Literally, he was so nice, that even my doormen remembered him from a month before! Additionally, he takes professional photographer like photos and sent us a bunch of pictures each time that were one of a kind !

Very professional and considerate. Email updates everyday with photo and video attachments. Not only took care of my cat but also cleaned the environment. 

I do feel that Oscar has the passion and love for cats and it reflected on his cat-sitting works. My cat is shy, not every caregiver got the chance to see or pet my cat but Oscar made it all, which took me by surprise. I guess my cat likes him!

Jean was a delight beginning to end. She made sure our kitties felt at home immediately and sent regular updates. When she was running low on a supply, she let us know with enough time that we could ship some to her. I was so nervous to leave my cats for such a long period of time, but that nervousness dispelled the moment I watched her interact with my girls.

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.

We’re happy to introduce Margarita, a caring and attentive caregiver offering cat boarding services in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn.

Margarita lives in a clean, quiet, and well-maintained studio apartment on Court Street, in a pleasant elevator building. The space is bright and comfortable, with a small French balcony that lets in natural light (the doors remain closed during winter), plus a screened window for added safety. It’s a calm environment, ideal for cats who appreciate peace, routine, and gentle attention.
​
Margarita has a naturally calm and reassuring presence, something cats tend to respond to immediately. She understands feline personalities and moods and is especially attentive to subtle behavioral cues. Whether a cat is playful, shy, or prefers quiet companionship, Margarita adapts to each guest’s temperament with patience and care.

She keeps a flexible schedule, is home most evenings, and enjoys starting her days early, which allows her to give boarded cats real attention rather than quick check-ins. She has experience caring for cats and is comfortable administering oral medications (pills) when needed.

If you’re looking for a peaceful, home-based boarding option, Margarita’s apartment offers a warm and secure setting where cats can truly relax.

Contact us and send more details about your cat(s) and the service you need. We will do our best to match you with the best caregiver available in your area.

If you’re looking for a warm, attentive in-home boarding option in Flushing, we’re happy to introduce Stephanie, one of our trusted caregivers at Kitty in NY.

Stephanie lives with her fiancé in a cozy, well-maintained one-bedroom apartment on the first floor of a two-family house in Flushing, Queens. The apartment is designed with cat safety in mind: all windows are screened, and while the entrance opens directly to the outside, it’s protected by a secure double-door system with a heavy outer door. Stephanie is fully aware of how important it is to prevent door-dashing and takes this responsibility very seriously.

A calm, home-centered environmentStephanie works from home much of the time as an accountant, which means your cat will enjoy plenty of human presence, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Her home is comfortable and lived-in, offering a relaxed environment where cats can settle in, explore, and feel at ease.

She currently has experience caring for 2–3 cats, is comfortable administering medications including fluids, and is committed to keeping routines consistent. Stephanie also understands the importance of reliability: if she has a potential trip coming up, she knows not to accept a boarding request she can’t fully commit to.

Stephanie’s connection to animals runs deep. Growing up, she spent summers visiting her family’s farm in South America, where feeding and caring for animals was part of daily life. Those early experiences shaped her belief that pets provide comfort, calm, and a strong sense of family—values she brings into her caregiving today.

Born and raised in Flushing, Stephanie is bilingual and working toward her CPA license. She describes herself as patient, attentive, and genuinely devoted to making cats feel safe and loved while their humans are away.

What you can expectWhen your cat stays with Stephanie, you can expect:

• A safe, indoor-only boarding environment
• Daily care, playtime, and companionship
• Regular updates and photos while you’re traveling
• A caregiver who treats your cat with the same care she would give her own

If you’re planning a trip and want peace of mind knowing your cat is in a calm, caring home in Flushing, Queens, Stephanie would be delighted to help.

Contact us with more details about the service you are looking for. We'll get back to you as soon as possible and help you find the best solution for your cat/s.

At Kitty in NY, we handpick caregivers who genuinely love cats, and Gloria is a perfect example of that spirit. “I have always had a love for cats. Their beauty, diversity and personality difference is apparent to each individual cat, no matter the breed. Their aloofness and independence are what I love the most, though some can be wonderfully affectionate as well.”

Gloria worked with Kitty in NY for several years as an in-home boarder before Covid-19. Over that time, she built strong trust with clients, many of whom traveled regularly during the holidays, summer months, and long seasonal trips. One of her most loyal returning clients spent every summer in Europe, leaving their beloved cat in her care for multiple years, often for several months at a time. “They trusted me with their precious pet for several months, year after year. I had many returning clients, especially owners who traveled regularly for the holidays.”
​
Caring for cats in a home environment offers something unique : comfort, calm, familiar routines, and personal attention. For Gloria, in-home boarding has always been an alternative she admires and enjoys facilitating. “Being an in-home boarder gives me the opportunity to offer cat owners a safe, loving option in my home, where their cats can enjoy the same freedom they would have at their own home.”

Gloria also recognizes the value of working alongside our agency to make long-term plans smooth and stress-free. “I appreciate having Kitty in NY intercede any issues or changes with the contract. It’s important to have an agency as an intermediary: especially when clients need flexibility or extended stays.”

If you're looking for a boarding service in Manhattan (NYC) with personalized, home-based attention, Gloria is ready to welcome your cat into her cozy, cat-friendly space.

Home boarding offers a stable routine, low stress, safe space, and the emotional comfort that only a home environment can provide. At Kitty in NY, all caregivers follow clearly established guidelines and communication protocols to ensure that every cat stay is safe, structured and filled with individual love and attention.

If this feels like the right choice for your cat, we’re happy to guide you through the next steps and ensure a seamless boarding experience.
