We were very happy with our cat sitter Michelle. We communicated well. I was happy she had No other pets so she was able to give our cat all her attention.
I called our sitter the cat whisperer. As soon as she met our cat I knew I didn't have to worry.

I would definitely refer her and I also.would use her services again!

Michelle was kind and wonderful! Took amazing care of my 3 cats. My flight was delayed coming back and she was very understanding and accommodating. Everything was all packed and cleaned when I picked up the cats. She sent me pictures and updates of them and it great to know they were in such good hands. The day after I picked them up she checked in on them to make sure everything was ok.

Michelle Abbott-Smith is:
• Someone who immediately connects with humans and animals. I could tell this not just from the updates and messages she sent me regularly, but also from the way my cat bonded with her
• I never had any worry or doubt about my pet's health or happiness during the 3 weeks I was away. Michelle was very competent and loving throughout for my pet
• She was very methodical and thorough - she had all of my items packaged and ready for pickup neatly organized, all on time
• She also regularly gave me updates sprinkled with humor

The service exceeded our expectations. Booking was a pleasure and we felt that our needs were taken into account very well. Michelle was absolutely incredible and we hope we can have her watch our cats again. She not only fed and medicated them, she clearly showed them so much love and attention that they seemed sad to be leaving her apartment.

Amber is friendly, super sweet, and great with communication. She was very attentive in the talking process of understanding Toby's needs and typical care schedule, and I appreciated how much space he had to explore once he settled into her apartment. I could tell from the pictures she sent me that he felt super comfortable with her, and knowing that she's familiar with cats/had cats in the past only made me feel more secure with leaving Toby in her care. Gold stars, would recommend!

While we were away she was very communicative in sending us photos and videos of the cats daily as well telling us how the cats were doing.

Hello! My name is Ruxandra Iancu and I've been an animal lover my whole life. I've had dogs, cats and a bunny, who lived happily to be 8 and a half years old. I don't currently have any pets and would love the opportunity to either house a cat in my own home, for the duration of your vacations, or to stop by your place and make sure your kitty gets some quality time, play time and proper care. 

If you are leaving the city for a short trip we recommend cat sitting visits. A caregiver will visit your cat in your apartment. For your longer term needs in-home boarding is the perfect solution. You bring your cat to the caregiver's apartment where she/he will be treated and their own pet. Your cat will be the only pet in the apartment. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need, we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Ruxandra is an amazing caregiver. This was my second time working with her. The first time, she fed my cats in my home, the second time, I boarded my cats in her home. Both times, she was incredibly attentive, asked great questions, was extremely communicative and caring, and sent great photos on a regular basis. My cats are very particular and aren't used to strangers, and took to Ruxandra very quickly. She is clearly an animal whisperer and has kind, calm, energy. I would not hesitate to use her again or to recommend her. It made my trip so much less stressful knowing my kitties were in a loving, caring environment!

Hi! My name is Darcel and as a cat enthusiast living in Brooklyn, I’m genuinely excited about the chance to cat sit! I adore everything about cats—mostly the comfort they bring. Caring for them not only allows me to spend time with them, but it also lets me provide a nurturing environment while their owners are away. I can’t wait to create and update owners on some memorable moments with them and enjoy the companionship that only cats can offer!

If you live around Crown Heights and need a temporary home for your cat/s, Darcel might be available and happy to help you out with your kitties. Boarding is a great solution for your mid/long term needs. The caregiver will treat your cat/s as her own, and your cat/s will be the only pets in the apartment. Contact us and send more details about the service you need, we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

I've been boarding cats in my apartment for about three years now and it's been the best, so I'm ready to start doing home visits to meet more cats! :) I'm super communicative, reliable, and will send lots of photos and videos. I always make sure to spend a lot of time with your cat giving them love and attention and lots of play time. I'm also a neat freak and will make sure I leave your space tidy and clean. I think cats are super sensitive and emotional beings and can sense your energy right away so I try to always match their behavior and give them enough space if they need, and I find they usually warm up to me pretty quickly. I can't wait to meet and care for your kitties!  

I'm willing to visit Crown Heights, Bed Stuy, Prospect Heights, Ridgewood/Bushwick, Clinton Hill, Fort Greene, Downtown Brooklyn, Dumbo, Lower Manhattan, The West Village. Basically anywhere on the A/C line is easy for me to get to! 

If you're located in Brooklyn, around Prospect Park, Sidra could be the best option to take care of your cat/s while you are away. Whether you are more interested in boarding or sitting, please send us more details about your cat and the service you need, we'll be glad to help you.

Sidra looked after our cat Ripley for 3 months while he was waiting for an export permit to travel overseas. Couldn't have asked for a better carer. She was happy to take his toys and furniture so he felt comfortable, logistics around food and litter were straight forward, and she even took him to the vet for the required check-ups in the lead up to his departure. Regular updates with lots of photos and videos, one very happy relaxed boy! He's now here with us on the other side of the world and settling in like he never left us!

Kitty in NY recommends in-home cat boarding for long services instead of travelling with your pet. Cats do not like long trips and will do well in a temporary home until you get back. Avoiding the stress of the trip will be greatly appreciated by your favorite feline. We have clients who boarded their cats for 3/6 months , even for a year. Our caregivers will send you regular updates during the whole boarding period. Contact us and tell us what services you need.

For short weekends or one week trips cat sitting visits to your apartment will save your beloved cat a lot of stress and anxiety.

If you need to take your cat on a car, train or air trip you should ensure it is comfortably secure in the right carrier.

You may give your cat the Bach Flower Essence "Rescue Remedy" to help it with the stress of traveling. Give a few drops in his/her water every day. The flower essence will help your cat remain calm.

It can be dangerous (and ilegal) to have a cat loose in your car – it cause an accident by becoming entangled with the driver. If a window or door was opened the cat could escape and get lost.

You need to invest in a carrier which is strong and easy to clean. Cats can urinate/defecate (or vomit) during long trips. Spray the inside of the carrier and car with Feliway before you're ready to go. Feliway sprayt mimics the pheromones cats leave when they are comfortable and relaxed.

Place the carrier where it will be secure if you have to use the brake suddenly but where it has a good air flow (not under luggage in the back of the car). You can secure the carrier behind the front seats or use the seat belt to hold it securely on the seat. The cat could meow initially or even throughout the whole journey – speak calmly and reassuringly to it but do not let it out of its carrier. The meowing will probably drive you mad but the cat is unlikely to be suffering; just voicing its dislike of the situation! Eventually the constant motion and noise of the car will probably induce your cat to sleep.

Nina will be glad to welcome your kitty in her apartment. You will receive periodic updates during the service. Your cat will be the only pet in the apartment! Contact us and send more details about your cat and the service you're looking for. We have options all over the city. Our cat sitting visits are recommended for short vacations and holidays while boarding works best with very social cats or long term.
