We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats!

Hi my name is Delil. I’m of Kurdish descent and grew up in Germany. I’ve been in the city for almost 10 years being busy working as an actor and have from time to time taken care of many kitties for friends and families. I grew up with cats of my own and it’s hard to find someone who loves cats as much as I do. I’m flexible and punctual due to my German upbringing and live in the West Village. Hope to meet your cats!

If you need a temporary home for your cat, Delil might be available to foster your beloved feline. He lives in a comfortable one bedroom apartment on Bank Street. The clean, well kept apartment has hardwood floors and several windows (all screened). There is plenty of space for a cat to roam around. Cat sitting visits are recommended for short periods, the caregiver comes to your apartment every day for thirty minutes to take care of your cat/s. Contact us and send more details about the service you need, we'll be glad to help you.

We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats!

I'm Sonia and I am a part time housekeeper in Manhattan, because of my job every day I visit different customers with cats and dogs and I bring my special cleaning products to ensure they are safe. Did you know some cleaning products are potentially dangerous for cats and poisoning by just inhalation!

I grow up on a farm taking care of cows, pigs, chickens, dogs, cats and more... so I know how to treat these specials creatures. They need a lot of love!

An interesting fact about me is that I'm left handed and I support children in central America with 10% of my income. I speak many languages - Danish, Spanish, Italian and of course English and will be delighted to look after your kitty!

If you're located close to Morrison Ave, Bronx Sonia will provide a perfect temporary 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.

Sonia took terrific care of my Loki. She sent me pictures and updates and gladly kept him an extra 2 days when I extended my trip. When it was time to pick him up, my cat seemed to not want to leave her! If that’s not a sign of a great cat sitter, I don’t know what is! We love Sonia and her husband!

My name is Grace. I have owned and cared for cats just about all my life I am happy to say. This is the first time I am without a cat in my home, so I can happily take care of your baby (s)!

I live in a doorman, lovely building in midtown, West 40’s. I have been a pet sitter for 10 years and love it! I like to think, ‘What would I want in someone who takes care of my cat if I left town? …feeding, their needs met, plenty of play time and cuddles, pictures sent to me ..yes! …and that’s what I would do for yours :))

If you live around Midtown and need to leave the city for a few days or weeks, Grace could be available and will be glad to help you. Our cat sitting visits are the best solutions for weekends or short trips. If you need a temporary home for your cat, boarding is the perfect option, your cat will be the only pet at the caregiver's apartment.Contact us and send more details about the service you need.

Grace is a wonderful person. I've known her to be a kind, empathetic, thoughtful, generous and joyful spirit. She is a fierce animal advocate and lover. Her heart explodes when she sees my cats and she takes such amazing care of them. I never have to worry and I've been gone for long periods of time.

My name is Lori. I live in a pre-war 3 bedroom in the low W. 70’s near Broadway with my mother and my 12 year old son. I grew up in West Virginia, and always had pets. My favorite cat right before I moved to New York was named Smoky. We were inseparable. I specifically love cats. After I moved to New York, I rescued three cats. They were named Ghandi, Pudding and Sam. Sam lived to be nearly 19. I still miss him.

My son, Magnus, is very gentle and loves all animals. He wants to be a marine biologist. He always looks forward to summer camp at the Central Park zoo.

We are looking forward to welcoming your cat into our home. He/she will be well cared for.

Lori is looking forward to meeting you.

If you're looking for a temporary home for your cat in the UWS Lori would be the perfect choice.

I’m Denny Daniel and I am curator and founder of The Museum of Interesting Things. I teach kids and adults and so have a friendly curious attitude and get along with people as well as pets! I work for myself so I am home a lot. My last cat Tristan was a rescue and I loved him more than anything and he was pampered and sweet. I also cat sat for all my friends' cats for years too so I am used to various cats. I want to share that love now. I live in a beautiful clean large private house in Jamaica Estates Queens so your cat will also be pampered like my dear Tristan was. I also have an apt in the Village where the Museum resides and own a car so I can also pick up and drop off your cat from anywhere. I love driving. I am a photographer and teach so your cat pics will be the cat’s meow!

If you have to leave the city for a long period of time in-home boarding is the best solution. You cat will be the only pet, you will receive periodic updates during the service. Contact us and send more details about the service you need, we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

3/12/2023

We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats!

Hello I'm Karina and have lived my whole life with cats but recently my 17 year old cat passed away. A neighbor suggested that perhaps I consider being a cat sitter and I found out about Kitty in NY.

I live in a lovely spacious two bedroom apartment in Marine Park, Brooklyn. I'm around all day because I work from home.

I have had cats my whole life. Our house is been so quiet since our Slate died. Since we travel a lot we understand that is hard to find a loving person to babysit. So before we decided to get another cat we thought we would open up our home to help others who have the same dilemma.

There's no doubt about the fact that we are cat people. Anyone can tell from our couch! Your kitty would have free roam of our apartment. I have experience with a diabetic cat and have training in medicine so they will be no problem if your kitty has special needs.

Please consider us the next time you need tender loving care for your furry friend.

If you need a temporary home for your cat around the Marine Park area in Brooklyn, Karen would be your perfect match. Kitty in NY selects the best homes for your cat/s. Your feline will be the only pet in the apartment. Our in-home cat boarding and cat sitting services have helped thousands of new yorkers. Contact us with more information about the service you need. We'll get back to you as soon as possible.

Kitty in NY did an excellent job with finding me a boarding home for my cat Blanco. I gave them a week notice and within that short time they were able to find a person in the neighborhood, as well as, a meet and greet. Karen offered me a tour before I left town so my cat and I could check out her apartment and determine whether it was a fit. Karen also sent pictures of updates to ensure us that Blanco was in good care. I couldn't have asked for better service. Thank you so much Kitty in NY!

Hey there! My name is Sandra and I'm an Illustrator based in Brooklyn who loves to draw sci-fi, fantasy, and especially kitties! I currently live with my partner (who equally loves cats!) in a cozy and quiet 2 bedroom brownstone, so you can assure your kitty will get double the love and attention, or of course, the much needed space to feel comfortable and safe.

With my lifelong love of cats, I carry treats with me to connect with the many strays in my neighborhood and in the past few years I’ve had the privilege of looking after many wonderful cats. I’m here to help you feel connected to your kitty while you're away, and will happily accommodate to your communication style when it comes to updates and photos (which I take a ton of!) as well accommodating the unique personality of your kitty :3

There's nothing better than spending time with a purring furry friend, so I look forward to meeting your kitties and helping them feel at home in my home.

If you need help to take care of your cat please contact us. We recommend cat sitting visits for long weekends and short periods. If you are leaving the city for a few weeks or months, boarding is a better solution. Send us more details about the service you need, we'll get back to you as soon as possible.

We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats!

Barry lives on his own in a studio located at 666 West End Ave (92nd St) in Manhattan. He loves animals and enjoys taking care of cats.

I'm a writer and editor who lives in a studio on the Upper West Side (90s/West End Ave.). I hail from Massachusetts but have lived in New York City for 30 years. I've boarded cats for several years now, and if you live within a radius of a few blocks and would rather have me visit your apartment to attend to your cat (I did that once), that's fine. I've taken care of several cats over the past few years (I wish I had a photo of Dexter!), and the cat you see accompanying my photo is one of my favorites, Eh-Gee (Korean name/Korean owners). Look at the face!

If you live close to the UWS in Manhattan Barry could provide a nice temporary home for your cat. He could also visit your cat/s in your apartment, cat sitting visits are recommended for short term services. Contact us and send more details about your cat and the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.

We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats!

I have a great spacious one-bedroom apartment in the heart of Forest Hills. I live alone and my apartment is very safe for the cats. I have taken care of cats for over 15 years. The cats usually take over my apartment and I just pay the rent.... They always feel very comfortable and they can sleep with me in my room, go on the couch, pretty much whatever they want to do. I keep treats for the cats when the behave and am very gentle with the cats. I love playing with them as well as I am at a Petland buying up the store for them.

They call me the "cat lady" so to speak... I have had a lap cat in the past and simply loved when she would curl up on my lap. My last two cats lived until 20 and 21 years of age... they were pretty much spoiled. Well that is pretty much my "cat life story". Rest assured you cat would be extremely safe with me. I am experienced in giving medication to cats.

I'm now retired so your cats won't feel lonely.

If you live in Brooklyn or Queens, please ask for Beth and she can provide the perfect temporary home for your cat/s. You will receive periodic updates during the boarding. Contact us and send more details about the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.

"I recently semi-retired young, working now only 1 day a week, and have plenty of free time on my hands. I live in a spacious, luxury, 2 bedroom high rise apartment on the border of Murray Hill/Gramercy (East 24th St.) Much of my days are spent at home on-line pursing a hobby of dabbling in antiques and collectables.

Growing up I always had and loved cats and now is the purrfect time to receive cats to make my days much brighter. My first cat Samantha (a Persian) was named after the TV show Bewitched. Sam was a kitten when we first got her, and I delighted in watching her grow. And I also witnessed her giving birth to a litter. Our family kept one kitten and the process began again. Two generations of cats for over 25 years. Watching them develop and taking care of them was a rewarding joy."

If you live in the Gramercy area Andy would enjoy taking care of your cat/s until you return. Please contact us and send more details about your cat and the service you need. We'll connect with the best caregiver that suits your needs. We look forward to hearing from you, we'll be glad to help you.

Great people we have met! - Tabish

2/14/2023

We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats!

Tabish is a world traveler who has lived abroad and now resides in a charming one bedroom townhouse on the upper west side of Manhattan.

Growing up in Kenya, I was surrounded by wildlife. One of my earliest memories as
a child of 4 or 5 years of age is watching a lion cub, the cutest thing I’d ever seen. I
wanted to take it home, but my dad said I could have a kitten instead that was just as cute and from the same family. The rest, as they say is my cat history.
I have worked in the humanitarian sector in Europe, Africa, and Asia, using my
fluency in English, Swahili, Punjabi and Urdu.

My other passion had always been for fashion. I studied towards a M.A at Central St Martins, London, which opened up opportunities to work with artisans in Kenya, Gambia and Nepal to create artisanal jewelry and textile collections. It also enhanced my inherent talent for fashion styling. My motto is, Wear Color Every Day.

Tabish provides both services: in-home boarding and cat sitting visits. If you decide to board your cat, your kitty will have plenty of room to roam and play in this book filled and antique furnished home. Tabish works from home, adores cats, and has cared for many. Tabish will enjoy visiting your cat/s in your apartment and will send an update after every visit. She cherishes their affectionate nature and is looking forward to getting to know your darling!

We’ve had the opportunity to do both sitting and in home boarding and she has been lovely to work with, is a wonderful lady and has so much knowledge and understanding of cats that we felt completely secure about leaving our furry rascals with her. She goes above and beyond to care for them and both cats were very secure when we came back.

Tabish followed instructions and was very attentive and patient with my cats, particularly shy Dusty - he always hides when strangers come, but she would check on him and try to coax him with treats, but leave him alone if he didn't want to be bothered with. By the last two visits, he had come out of hiding, which is very unusual for him, and shows that he was getting comfortable with her.

We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats!

All my life I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for animals, but my true journey with them began in 2008 when I became a veterinary assistant at a hospital in Houston, Texas. One of my daily duties was to clean the cages in the cat room and feed the kitties that were either boarding with us or up for adoption. However there was one particular white and black cat named Abby who had a double heart on her side. One of the technicians rescued her off the streets of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. She found her with her litter of kittens hiding under a car. All of the kittens were adopted out and Abby became the hospital cat. Everyday I would let her out of her cage and pet her, brush her and give her some TLC. She would show her appreciation by making biscuits on me while purring the entire time. Finally one day I asked if I could foster her which of course turned into me adopting her and from there the rest is history. Abby is now living a lap of luxury with my mother in NJ.

After moving to NY to further my education, I went on to work in a few different hospitals and clinics where I met countless pet owners and had the opportunity to care for their beloved cat or dog. I have fostered a few kitties along the way and found loving homes for them. I will always treat your kitty like they are my own and I pride myself in being able to think quick on my feet when handling unforeseen circumstances that may arise. Whenever it’s time for me to visit with a furry loved one, I look at our time together as more of a bonding session than just someone there to feed them. All I want to do is make a positive memorable impact on your kitties life so that in return whenever you are away they have me to look forward to.

Amber provides cat sitting and cat boarding services in Prospect Lefferts Gardens, Brooklyn. She will enjoy visiting your cat/s in your apartment and will send an update after every visit and is looking forward to getting to know your kitty!

“I have been using Amber for several years & my cats love her. She even took care of a health issue while I was away with great success. Currently, she has been good at
keeping my cats on their different foods ( one is on renal food) - when they are intent on switching bowls! I love her.“

Amber was recommended by someone in my Bed Stuy-Clinton Hill network, and she has been great. I worked so hard to find someone who would come to our house to clip my cats' nails and you wouldn't believe how hard it was.

It's a silly thing to traumatize the cats for by bringing them to the vet, and yet so few people do house calls anymore. Amber came on time and quickly dispatched of the task. I don't need a regular cat sitter but if I needed one in a pinch I wouldn't hesitate to call her.“

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.

We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats!

When it comes the feline species, I am a natural! I love cats and have a relaxed, and perhaps intuitive, relationship with them. I've adopted many cats over the years, the most difficult of which was inherited when I moved into a friend's vacated apartment. The cat wouldn't come near me nor anyone, as it had been abused. It stayed in the backyard and I had to put its food on the stoop outside. Any attempt to pet or go near it meant hissing and scratching. I slowly nurtured it and within 3 months, this cat was sleeping peacefully on my bed! Since getting my first apartment in college, I have had cats, so I have literally a lifetime of owning or caring for cats - life is just better with them in it. I have plenty of experience caring for other people's cats - both in my and their home. I never feel a cat is a stranger, and I am confident when they meet me they know they are in the company of a kindred spirit.

The other half of my life I live as a Feng Shui consultant. I have a small business, and am passionate about bringing positive change to individuals and small businesses. I have lived in different parts of the country, traveled extensively in India and the U.K. and owned my own small coffee shop in the East Village for 10 years. In my practice I help people clear toxicity, lighten their load and teach them how to live in a clutter-free, energy-enhanced supportive environment.

If you're located in the East Village, Cheryl will provide the perfect home environment for your cat/s until you return. She also provides cat sitting visits to your apartment. She loves cats and enjoys their company. Contact us and send us more details about the service you need.

The best sitter my cats have ever had. They did not loose weight nor did they appear to have been stressed in any way. Cheryl asked me the right questions and I provided her with detailed instructions. My apartment was not damaged or soiled in any way. She emailed comments about my cats' behavior, general conditions and their reaction to her. I believe she genuinely cared about the cats welfare.

Cheryl was very friendly and welcoming right from the start. We FaceTimed her beforehand and she walked us through her cat-friendly apartment in great detail. While we were away, Cheryl sent us daily updates, complete with pictures and videos of Piko. Cheryl also gave us a few suggestions to help with raising Piko (ie her preferred brand of cat nip which Piko liked), which we were very grateful for as relatively new cat owners. We could tell that Cheryl has had many years of experience and is a pro when it comes to caring for cats - Piko was very comfortable and felt right at home within a day of being at Cheryl's. I would 100% use her again for cat boarding and highly recommend her to anyone who needs the service. Thank you again Cheryl!

We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats!

I've always been a big animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up with a beloved cat and many other pets including a dog and I actually thought I was a dog person for a long time, until I lived with two cats in 2020 and fell in love again! There's nothing more special than a bond with a cat, and I truly love meeting each one and discovering how unique their personalities are. I'm a gouache/watercolor artist and often paint animals and pet portraits; I even discovered a lot of old drawings from when I was a kid were of cats! I think it's so important to give your cat space at first and get to know them, I'm a gentle empath and will make sure your cat has the best stay in my home. I'll provide lots of cuddles and playtime - if that's what they like! I'm also a film nerd and love watching old 80's and 90's thrillers, riding my bike around Brooklyn, and recently took up knitting which goes well with my cat girl status. I'd love to get to know your kitty BFF!

If you're located in Brooklyn, around Prospect Park, Sidra could be the best place for your cat/s to stay while you are away. Send us more details about your cat and the service you need, we'll be glad to help you.

We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers. KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats!

Hey, I’m Val! I’m an avid animal lover and your feline’s future friend. Since I was a kid, I raised all sorts of animals from ferrets to iguanas to chinchillas. I’ve had the pleasure of working at an animal hospital in Bayside, an adult care facility in Park Slope and currently teach part-time at a school in Kew Gardens, Queens. It is one of my callings in life to care for the unspoken souls of this world, be it critters, children or the elderly. When I’m not trying to save the world, I’m usually playing/listening to music, studying astrology or attempting to write the next great screenplay. If you reside in Queens, especially the Hillside/Briarwood/Jamaica area, I’m your guy! I can ensure you that your pet will not only be safe and sound, but will be dwelling in a both peaceful and spiritual environment.

Val loves animals! He could also visit your cat/s in your apartment if you are leaving the city for just a few days, our cat sitting visits are recommended for short term. Contact us and send us more details about your cat/s and the service you prefer, either boarding or cat sitting visits. We'll be glad to help you.
