Oscar went above & beyond a regular cat sitter - he sent beautiful photos and updates about how my cat was doing everyday while I was away. I didn't want to bother him by bombarding him with questions everyday, and yet he was happily giving me updates whether or not I asked. He showed genuine care and affection towards my cat and I couldn't have asked or entrusted anyone better while I was away. I would ask Oscar to catsit for me again in a heartbeat.

Oscar was amazing. He took great care of our cat (both in terms of feeding her and playing with her) and took beautiful photos of her too. We don’t need cat sitting often but we hope Oscar is available the next time we need help.

Oscar is just the best. Our cat Biscuit is not the friendliest cat in the world (to say the least), but she seemed to enjoy the time she spent with Oscar. And he sent us texts on a nightly basis along with the best photos anyone (including us) has ever taken of our cat. Oscar's extremely conscientious and we can't recommend him enough. We're so glad we found him.

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!

Oscar sent us amazing pictures everyday where the cats were active and looked content. When we got back he must have vacuumed and cleaned because there was no litter anywhere. The cats were happy and healthy and seemed very well taken care of. 

Oscar took great care of our cats. We were very happy, again, with your service. Also, Oscar must have a gig as a photographer, because his daily snapshots were fantastic.

Great people we have met! - Tabish

12/31/2021

0 Comments

 
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.
Picture
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!​

Tabish really went so far above and beyond in caring for our cat (and our plants!), especially dealing with an issue with our spare key not working. She was so communicative and friendly even with all of that hassle and my slow response times. Our cat was comfortable with her and happy when we returned. Her updates were thoughtful and thorough. I really can't say enough good things about Tabish --I will definitely be requesting her specifically next time we go out of town!

Tablsh is really good with my boys. They have got used to her no, and really nice to see that she can get exceptionally shy Dusty to eat treats out of her hand importantly, I trust her.  She keeps me informed of what's going on and I feel safe leaving my cats and my apartment in her hands.

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.

Brendan - survey

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.

Tabish was really fantastic with Princeton and sent us many photos of them cuddling. We were also late to deliver him because he was hiding, and she was incredibly patient and flexible.

Antoinette provides in-home boarding and cat sitting services in Midtown Manhattan, New York

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 am a writer who lives alone in a large studio apartment in midtown Manhattan. I had two wonderful cats – Bo Diddley and Roxy - here for 20 years. They both died of cancer in the same year and I was so heartbroken I didn’t ever want to have my own cat again. But when I took care of a girlfriend’s cat when she went on vacation, I realized how much I love having a little furry creature in my life, so I signed up with Kitty In NY.
Picture
Antoinette with one of her kitty guests
I love boarding and visiting cats and I adore taking photographs of them. My apartment, which is totally cat-proof, has a lot of old-fashioned quilts, desks, trunks and colorful objects that I use as backgrounds for pictures. I swear, cats know how good they look in my shots and they pose with very little persuading. I will care for your four-footed friend as if it were my own. I also have my Red Cross emergency pet medicine certification.
If you live in Midtown Manhattan Antoinette is the perfect option to take care of your cat/s while you're away. She can visit your cat in your apartment, cat sitting services, or you can bring your cat to her apartment where he/she will be the only pet until you come back. Our cat boarding service is perfect for mid-long term. Contact Kitty in NY with more details about the service you need.

Toni was amazing. Had something fall through with our previous cat caretaker and called Kitty in NY and was connected with Toni. She took us in very last minute and took the best care of our kitten Parker. She sent tons of photos and had a lot of fun with him over the weekend. It's very very obvious that Toni adores cats and animals in general and is very knowledgeable about their care. She had the nicest things to say about him. Parker is a slippery one who gets everywhere and has no idea what danger is, so making sure he's safe and happy is very important to us. With Toni, I had not a worry in the world. Will definitely book again 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!

Have always had a natural instant rapport with animals. Cats and dogs. A few years ago my job took in a stray kitten. As office person it fell on me to take care of it. That’s where I learned to bond with furry felines.
 
Cats in my care get loved and pampered. Comes with unlimited petting, hind quarter scratching and belly rubs (kitty permitting of course)  Their happiness is the goal. Haven’t missed yet 

​When caring for them in my home I set them up for their own special hiding places. Will keep your little buddy happy and safe until your return.

If you live in Sunnyside, LIC or Astoria Daniel would be glad to take care of your cats. He provides in-home boarding services, your cat will be the only pet in his apartment or visit your cats in your own apartment. Our cat sitting visits are the perfect solution for your short term needs or very shy cats. Contact us and send us more details about the service you need.

Phil provides in-home boarding services in Union Square, NYC

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 had my first kitty 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.

Phil was fantastic. Very kind, I could feel right away that he loves cat and is able to create a good and calm environment for them to feel at ease. The minute we dropped our cat at Phil's apartment, she felt secured and not stressed and the stay went very smoothly. Phil did great at sending us pictures and updates every few days, so we knew everything was going well. Thank you!

Phil was very pleasant and kind to my cat Momo upon meeting him. He sent in-depth emails of Momo's daily life while I was away, along with photos, which eased my mind about uprooting my kitty. As a seasoned cat sitter he had scratchers and toys available, and didn't mind my young cat's curious, and sometimes frenetic, demeanor. I was very glad for Momo to have companionship while I was gone. This is my second time using Kitty In NY, and although I was paired with a different sitter each time, both experiences have been positive. The office staff is also very professional, prompt, and easy to communicate with. They helped me right away even though my planning was relatively short notice.

Phil took care of my cat Miumiu who has a chronic illness and requires medication + visits to the vet. He was extraordinary with him and took excellent care of my cat. I suspect my cat wanted to stay longer at Phil’s actually!!! Ahah. Phil has a kind heart and is a loving and humorous kitty caregiver. He sent us regular news via lovely emails + pictures of Miumiu. I really recommend Phil as a caregiver!

Phil was an excellent, reliable cat-caregiver from the beginning to the end of this entire process. The drop-off and pickup went smoothly and during the weeks I was away on vacation, Phil stayed in touch with plenty of great information about how my two cats were doing at his place, as well as pictures. During the course of the time my cats were with him, he encountered some problems with his Verizon service, and I was impressed that he called me by phone right away to let me know so that we could work around it. Phil was able to give one of my cats the medicine he needed as well. Now that they are back home, it seems that they are even more at ease than before visiting with Phil. Highly recommend!

​Phil was amazing! I'm so happy to have had him look after Del. It was very obvious he adored kitties, and was so caring and loving to Del. He looked after him incredibly well, was very easy going, and always updating with funny, entertaining stories of his time with him. Phil even went out of his way to help me with the purchase of a pet travel crate, and assembled it while I was gone, so that Del could get used to it before his travels. Phil followed all the instructions and had no trouble at all with adapting to Del's special needs like cleaning his ears and having warmer spaces for him to curl up into (as he's a Sphynx cat and gets chilly). All to say, I would recommend him highly to anyone!

Phil was extremely welcoming to our cat and played with him. He gave very detailed and humorous updates by e-mail. He also went out of his way to help us when we encountered some difficulties with our return flight. Our cat returned in a very good mood, no doubt thanks to enjoying his stay with Phil.

Deli stayed with him for almost 3 months and I got updates on him, with pictures, pretty much every week. Anytime his food would be close to over, we were able to organize so that the website Chewy would deliver more. Deli seemed to love his stay, and reluctantly got into his carrier when we left. I would definitely recommend Phil to care for cats as he is very dedicated, caring, and keeps me updated with anything, plus pictures!

Phil was very responsive to any emails I sent him and was extremely attentive with his updates. He sent photos regularly along with great stories of how the kitties were doing. I got a sense that he truly cares for felines. Just after the first few interactions with him, I was immediately at ease, as I knew my fur babies were in caring hands.

Phil was so thorough with his emails detailing the status of our kitties while we were away. He’d send cute photos with his emails too. He also made sure he had all of the feeding times exactly correct. He was very pleasant and kind to work with and clearly loved taking care of our boys. I would definitely recommend him to others! We would use him again too.

My boyfriend and I had Helen cat sit our two-year-old tabby siblings this summer when we went out of town for the weekend. I can't express how crazy we are about our cats -- they are our babies and we could never put a price on their well-being, safety, and happiness. In the past we've had family watch them, so we were nervous about having a cat sitter. Thankfully, a friend of mine recommended Helen and boy did we luck out.

Helen is incredible. She's very funny, kind, and warm, and knows just the right way to handle every type of cat personality. Our boy is a little piggy and tries to eat his sister's food, our girl hisses at strangers and hides. But she did everything right to make them as comfortable as possible. She sent sweet, detailed emails after her visits along with lots of photos that put us immediately at ease. She took care of feedings, litter, water changing, and cleanup, leaving everything immaculate.

We totally trusted her in our apartment and with our kitties. I can't say enough about Helen and am so relieved we found someone who can care for our cats when we need it. Very highly recommend!!

Helen is AMAZING! I couldn't be happier with her professionalism and help throughout the entire boarding process - my Napoleon, who can be timid with new people at first, warmed up to her immediately.

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 Jen. Originally from Pennsylvania I’ve been a New Yorker for the past 18 years. I love all animals but have a particular soft spot for cats. I currently live with 5 sweet little rescues, two of whom are blind. All of whom are so very sweet and loving. Each of these darlings have been with me since they were kittens. Lucy and Lucky are the senior citizens, 15 and 14 years old. Lucky is a funny little boy who thrives on beauty treatments with the hair dryer and is obsessed with water. Actually likes to drink out of a glass. And this silly fella jumps in the shower with me. How cute is that! I am well-schooled in giving medications as well as shots or fluids, and have been through it all with them. Every morning I wake with a cat by my head and love it. I would love to help take care of your fur babies as well.

Jen will take excellent care of your cats while you're away. She will visit your cat/s and send photo updates after each visit. 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!
Hi, I am Svetlana. I am living with my husband Sergei in a 1-bedroom apartment in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn.  We are both work from home and have plenty of time to spend with your cats. We are both cat lovers. I grew up in a countryside in a house with multiple cats, dogs, and farm animals like cows, chickens, ducks and enjoyed to take care of them. My greatest memory of childhood when early in the morning all neighbor cats were coming to my house for a fresh milk from our cow. It was funny because with time more and more cats joined the party. It was a happy time and really miss it. 
​
A little bit of myself. Because of my passion for animals I went to college to study Veterinary medicine and became Veterinarian in 1997. After graduation I  worked in a vet clinic for four years and gain professional skills. In 2001 I immigrated to the United States and become a registered nurse and worked in hospital for a few years. At this time I work from home and will be happy to give comfort, security and love to your cats while you’re away.

If you are looking for a loving temporary home for your cats and are in Sheepshead Bay area of Brooklyn or the surrounding area we recommend you connect with Svetlana. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

I had a wonderful experience with cat sitter/boarder, Svetlana. She was attentive and flexible. I had to find a cat sitter at the very last moment a day before traveling overseas for vacation which is a nerve wracking and she was very accommodating and understanding. What attracted me to her services, was her veterinarian background. Being a new user of these types of services, I was a bit apprehensive about how my cat would be treated but when I was able to witness first hand how Svetlana interacted with my kitty, all those apprehensions faded away. When I picked my kitty up, he seemed more relaxed and friendly than how he normally is. I would gladly recommend her services and will be using her in the future should I need it again! Thank you Svetlana for a wonderful two weeks! Fetty says thanks too!

Hola!

My name is Johann and I am originally from Venezuela. I am glad I can be here to give care, love and attention to your cat. I have raised two cats during my lifetime and I have been cat sitting my close friends’ cats for the past few years.

I love the playful nature of cats and how they represent independence and freedom. I have always felt connected and related to cats. Felines in general are such magnificent species. 

I work as an audio engineer/music producer and one of my passions is writing comic books. My favorite places in NYC are the Public Library and Prospect Park. I also have a lot of experience in customer service. I pay close attention to details, I consider myself very punctual and organized.

I can’t wait to meet you and your gato!

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!

Erica is a tried and true New Yorker with a deep love for animals. With over 20 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, cats are by far her favorites! She grew up in a household with cats (and dogs), likes to volunteer at animal shelters, and is a devoted foster mama to neonatal kittens whenever possible. :) She takes pride in being a self proclaimed "cat whisperer" and has never encountered a cat that she couldn't eventually encourage to come out of their shell.

As a fellow cat owner, Erica knows that it can be really challenging to find reliable and trustworthy petsitters. Cats are not simply our pets, but they are our family members! Erica will treat your kitty as if they were her own - in addition to basic needs, she makes sure to take the time to get to know your cats and their unique personalities, making sure to fulfill any other needs they may have - whether that be playing, cuddles, or just some alone time.

If you are located around Central Park North, Erica could be the perfect match to help you take care of your cats while you are away. You will receive updates after every visit. Send us more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

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!

Cat obsessed since birth! My name is Sierra, and I’m an animal lover, but I’m biased towards cats (they’re the best). I have cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, rats, lizards, fish, etc. (pretty much you name it) throughout my life, 

I have raised both cats and dogs from babies to adulthood, I also actively volunteered at NAT Cat shelter in San Diego before I moved to NY. 

I have two cats of my own, Indie (4 years) and Mary (2 years). I adopted Indie, my sassy fur ball of love at 2 years old, it was love at first meow, and I moved her with me to NYC from LA in 2018. Indie loves sleeping, cuddling, and yelling at her mom and sister. My second is my baby Mary, who I rescued as a kitten from a NYC shelter, Mary spends her days catching flies, playing fetch, sneaking into cabinets and antagonizing Indie. 

I live in Bushwick, where I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I spend nearly everyday with my little ones, but after some convincing they are willing to share their mom!  

Being around cats is second nature to me, I can confidently say I will be able to care for your cats effortlessly with love. 

My cats are my children and I can guarantee your cats will get the same treatment.  

It would be my pleasure to care for your kiddos while you're away!

​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!

My name is Albena and I live in a spacious 1 bedroom apartment, near the Bronx Botanical Garden.  I know that your cat/s will love living here not only because of the abundance of space to run and leap, but also because I have a wonderful cat tree where they can climb and sharpen their claws.

I also provide cat sitting services in your home as I am willing to travel throughout the Bronx and Manhattan.  I am a professional dancer and my job provides me with a flexible schedule to meet your needs.  Your pet will be happy receiving the warmth and attention they deserve. 

If your kitty has special medical needs I am adept at administering pills, drops, subcutaneous fluids and diabetic injections.  My sensitivity for shy cats help to give extra soothing comfort.  My clients have returned to find their pets friends a bit sweeter.  Clients have been kind enough to provide me with a five star rating.
Picture
As a passionate animal lover, I grew up with cats predominately.  My entire family consists of cat people with amazing stories to tell.  My love and interest in the feline kingdom has grown over the years while owning numerous cats, deeply bonding with them, playing, cuddling, learning about their unique personalities and also witnessing (as difficult as it has been) their transitions.  It will be an honor and a pure joy to meet you and your furry friend/s...

If you live uptown or in the Bronx, Albena will provide the perfect temporary home for your cat/s. Her spacious apartment is kitty proof, your cat/s will enjoy the huge cat tree in her living room. Contact us with more information about your service.

KITTY in NY provides cat sitting and boarding services. Our 30 min cat sitting visits are recommended for short periods. If you need to leave for 10 days or more we can board your cat with one of our caregivers. Your kitty will be the only pet in the apartment. it is a great option for mid/long term periods.

Albena took care of our cat Chase for two weeks while we were away. Albena loves cats and has a special connection with them. She talks to them, plays with them and is very attentive to their needs. When Chase was not eating in the beginning of her visit Albena bought her special paste to bring back her appetite.

Miriam and Andy provide in home boarding in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn

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!

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 community :) ​

Miriam and Andrew took good care of Nema. Miriam sent m frequent photos and video and updates.
I had no problem reaching them and the drop-off and pick-up went smoothly.

Miriam and her family took such great care of our two cats and we are so grateful. She let them take their time settling in and then let them really immerse with her family. We could tell from photos she sent that they were completely at ease and enjoying their temporary home. We will absolutely use this service - hopefully Miriam - again, should the need arise. Thank you!

Miriam and her family were extremely welcoming and attentive to Alihaji and our needs. I can be a bit of an overbearing cat parent, but When I explained and labeled all of his food and his particularities Miriam was very supportive and understood my concerns and took my request in stride, without ever making me feel like I was what I was asking was to much.
​
Miriam and Andy also provided very timely updates that were accompanied with videos and photos. The atmosphere they cultivated allowed Alihaji to feel safe and comfortable to come out and explore the family and the environment. I initially thought he would hide under the couch for at least 3 days, so I was pleasantly surprised when Miriam informed me he had made an appearance a day after his arrival. For me, that stands as a testament to how caring they are, and how much they love cats.
I would definitely love to have them care for Alihaji in the future

Miriam & Andy were very welcoming our cat Juno and sent photos and kept us up to speed almost daily. Thats' a great comfort when you leave your cat for 2 weeks and are far away.

It was clear that Juno was in good hands and she was very relaxed and felt comfortable with them.

​Miriam and Andrew were attentive to our cat's needs throughout his weekend stay. They emailed us twice with very well written descriptions of the cat's daily activities, as well as a video and photos of our cat to show that he had adjusted well to their place.

As to communications regarding drop off and pick up, Miriam and Andrew readily available via email to ensure seamless coordination. They provided an accurate and ample window of time for which they would be present, thereby relieving us of any undue stress in the event of city traffic.

Finally, our cat was content upon his arrival back home, and slept peacefully throughout the evening. Based on this and the above, we recommend Miriam and Andrew for future caregiving services.

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 always been an animal lover and done a great deal of cat- dog- and horse-sitting during my life.  I recently lost my own beloved kitty (winter 2015) and miss feline company.  Thought it would be lovely to welcome your cat into my home and give him or her all my affection until one day when I feel ready to adopt another pal.  I am used to care for cats of different temperaments and ages, and enjoy the process of gently exploring their individual needs and preferences.  If this involves rearranging a few things in my home to accommodate a kitty’s choices, I am happy to do so. 
I live alone in a clean and quiet small studio apartment on the boarder between Chelsea and the Village.  It has lots of light and places for a cat to lounge.  I work as an equine photographer and do all the editing at home, so your cat would have plenty of company and play time.  Hope to make their acquaintance soon.

If you live in Chelsea, Pia would be the perfect choice to take care of your cat. She will devote all the time and love your kitty needs. Contact Kitty in NY and tell us more about the service you need. We provide in-home boarding and cat sitting solutions. We'll be glad to help you.

Pia is smart, kind and has great communication skills. She understood Sammy's personality profile and didn't try to force him to do anything he didn't want to do, but she did spend a good deal of time with him even though he didn't emerge from under the bed while she was here. Would definitely want to book with her again.
Thanks for everything!

Pia is excellent on all fronts. She is loving AND she is willing to pick up the litter and food at the Pet Central near her (I suspect because her building is unable to receive deliveries.) Also, she keeps bowls, a brush and toys (sometimes I am in a hurry and forget to pack everything I should) - she is just a kind and thoughtful person and has a caring spirit - I suspect this is true in all her endeavors.

Hey! I grew up in NYC with a beloved cat, and since moving out I have missed her dearly. Now I love to host cats in my home and keep them happy, entertained, and cared for. I have a bright, spacious, super-cozy apartment that makes for a lovely cat home. I'm a recent college graduate living in Crown Heights, and I work from home for a music tech company. In my free time, I enjoy hanging out with friends, making clothes, and creating digital art.

Ben lives with one roommate in a large apartment in Crowne Heights, Brooklyn. The home has a long hallway for cats to run and spacious rooms front and back with plenty of (screened) windows and comfy lounging spots. Also, Ben is a cat lover who works mostly from home so his feline guests will get plenty of attention.

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!

My whole life I wanted cats but could never have any due to a parent’s allergies. Fortunately, New York City is full of cat lovers, and growing up in Manhattan, I was able to make cats a part of my life by cat-sitting for friends. I have seen friends’ cats grow from kittenhood to old age. Besides cat sitting for friends, I’ve been a dog walker and volunteered at animal rescue organizations, including a cat cafe where I socialized kittens for adoption. I’ve gotten to know cats with a variety of personalities, abilities, and ages, and am continuing to learn about cat behavior. I respect each cat’s way of communicating, and let them come to me on their terms.

I’m a native New Yorker. I studied film at Hunter College and am pursuing a career in animation.

Erika provides cat sitting services along the west side of Manhattan and the Bronx (close to the 2/3 train line)

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 I was four, a stray cat (which my brother was secretly feeding) ran into my house and birthed three kittens. We weren’t a pet family at that time and my parents only had childhood experiences of raising dogs. 

We became pet/cat people overnight. 

Of that litter, one survived for 20 beautiful years. Chichi and I grew up together. Because of her, I’ve always been able to connect with cats — even ‘tough’ cats or strays. She wasn’t the only cat I raised; we came to own two other cats in her lifetime. The three cats couldn’t be more different, and yet, my relationship with each was special. Eventually, they all passed and I wasn’t sure I’d jump back into owning a cat because I was afraid I’d never find cats as great. I was so wrong.

Four years ago I adopted a 6 y.o. tuxedo cat with arthritis. He came from a hoarder home and was extremely skittish with people. I have never had to work so hard to ‘normalize’ a cat, but Figgy and I have made strides. Due to his arthritis, Fig is on a strict diet and is medicated daily. I intimately understand the importance of adhering to diets/medication routines because his comfort depends on it.  ​

I’m very good at meeting cats where they are. Figaro has taught me that some cats really operate at their own pace and can’t always be bribed. I’m comfortable with keeping my distance from a cat who wants that and also giving a kitty all of the loving it demands of me. I work as a graphic designer in FiDi and live in Harlem. Happy to visit with any kitties along the 2/3 line :)

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 I was 12 years old I learned the meaning of unconditional love when we welcomed my dog "Alex" into our family, who was my best friend in the world for 11 wonderful years! Until I met my husband 15 years ago, I hadn't really spent much time with felines but he introduced me to his cats "Brandy" & "Alexander". I fell in love with both of them & their silly quirks & sweet purrs! When we moved in together, my husband surprised me with a ginger kitten we named "Hunter", who loved zucchini bread & tortilla chips & would always express his opinion about everything, he truly made our house a home! We rescued our sweet & cuddly "Asher"a year later & had true bliss in our home for a time with 2 wonderful loving cats. When our Hunter crossed the rainbow bridge, Asher took it especially hard which lead us to rescuing our amazing black cat "Wally" from the streets of Jersey City in 2015. Wally is extremely shy & skittish & has taken lots of encouragement & patience to earn his trust, but how rewarding it has been! Wally also suffers from asthma, which requires continued vigilance & medical attention.

My experience with my own cats helps me to understand the qualities that are important in a cat sitter. I am certified in canine & feline CPR & first aid. I have 10 years experience as a Registered Nurse, & I am well trained in punctuality & critically thinking through any challenging situation.  In my visits to your home, I will take great care of your cats while you are away so you don't have to worry!

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!

For over 40 years I have had the wonderful experience of having my loving kitties. I recently had to put my last kitty (Cookie) to sleep, which was extremely detrimental to me as I had her from 4 months to 19 years of age. At this juncture of my life, which includes retirement from The Board of Education of New York,  I would just like to care for other people’s cats since I can’t handle the heartbreak again.

Also, she made Fridah feel comfortable, when I went to pick her up she looked healthy and well cared for. I will definitely reach out to y’all again.  Thank you for caring for my little fluffy creature.

Carol was an excellent caretaker of our cat, Piko. She was very responsive via text, and kept us updated with photos and videos on a daily basis. Piko seemed to very much enjoy his stay with her and we would certainly recommend Carol to others!

Great people we have met! - Karina

9/8/2021

 
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.
Picture
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.

Karina was so caring and went above and beyond! She absolutely put my mind at ease with frequent texts, photos, and videos. She clearly loved our cats and they loved her, too! She even offered to pick them up and drop them off, which made the service even more convenient. I highly recommend Karina and loved my experience with Kitty in NY!

Karina was amazing!!! She was so attentive and warm. Her daily pictures were adorable and my family and I loved seeing them. Our two cats obviously had a wonderful time!! She was also able to deal with my older cats diabetic needs which was a huge relief. I will absolutely be requesting Karina again in the future.

Karina was our caregiver. Even though she had to pinch hit at the last minute she was fabulous. She was helpful, communicative, and kind. And she obviously loves cats. I was thrilled that our cats wound up in her home.

We were so happy with your service and especially Karen. She turned out to be the exact kind of person we were hoping to get. She was wonderful and such a nice person. As a result if we need to travel again we want Karen exclusively.

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!

Karen was amazing. She feels like a member of the family. I feel like Jupiter came back to us a better cat than when he left!

We can't say enough good things about Karen! She was amazing. She sent us daily updates and photos, had them all packed up and ready to go when we arrived last night to pick them up. You could tell they were extremely happy and comfortable with her. Also importantly for our hectic schedule she was extremely flexible with meetings and pickup and drop-off times. She was really really fantastic!
