Jessica provides in-home boarding services in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn

8/29/2018

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.

Jessica misses having a cat of her own. Until then, she's happy to welcome your furry friend and take care of her/him until you return. Her sun filled three bedroom apartment offers plenty of space to lounge and enjoy for your cat/s.

I bring a lot of experience to the position of cat-sitter, having lived and/or worked with cats practically my entire life. I grew up on a farm upstate, where we always had multiple cats running around, though we eventually settled down to a respectable 3, and I loved every one of them! My first job when I moved to the city in 2009 was working at an animal hospital, where we also adopted cats out. The cats were allowed the run of the place, and they all had very distinct personalities. I have dealt with finicky, stand-offish cats, attack-kitties, and scaredy-cats, as well as all levels of loving, sweet, and gentle cats. I naturally adopted one of the cats while I was working there, Tubs, and enjoyed his unending love of snuggles for the past 9 years, until he passed away in the spring. If your cat is struggling with any health issues, my experience also includes giving medication, such as pilling and shots.
I live in a light-filled 3-bedroom apartment with two wonderful female roommates in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. I’m not ready to move on to adopting a new cat of my own, but I love having one or more cats around. I’m happy to keep you updated on how your cat(s) are doing, with regular pictures and texts and/or calls, and I will be happy to give your kitty all the love and/or space they need while you are away!

If you're looking for a loving temporary home for your cat/s and live in Clinton Hill, Bedford-Stuyvesant or Prospect Heights in Brooklyn we recommend you visit and meet Jessica. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

Denise provides in-home boarding services in Jackson Heights, Queens

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 Denise. Growing up all my life in NYC, animals have always been a constant. My house was always filled with, cats, dogs, birds, hamsters, fish, and kitties who seem to make a home in our backyard. One of which gave birth to a litter I cared for as well. My very first cat was an orange tabby who was best friend, and we grew up together until I finished college. Since having her I realized how amazing cats can be, she taught me unconditional love and I’ve since passed that along to some new furry friends of my own. I have since rescued all of my cats from the street starting with my big boy Mellow, who passed from cancer, he was my dogcat and loved to play fetch. To my last two babies Cali and Pepper who lived until 15 and 16 years of age, and passed this summer. Not having them around has left a huge void in my life and my heart. I know at this moment I can’t bear to start my journey again with a new friend, but being a cat boarder helps ease that void a bit, and I can give comfort, security and love to your kitties while you’re away and ease any of your concerns

I’ve had three cats at one time and have also cared for kittens and sat for friends and family. I’m capable at giving pill or liquid medication and having worked with many animals throughout my life, I learned early on patience is key. Professionally I work as a production coordinator for Hair Club, which keeps me organized, responsible and constantly having to communicate through emails all day long. So, keeping up to date with emails, pictures, and texts of your pet will come naturally to me and you’ll never have to wonder how they are doing. I happily invite you to leave your kitty with me and enjoy your time away knowing they are being loved and well taken care of by a fellow cat lover.

If you need a temporary home for your cat in Queens, Denise will be glad to help you take care of your cat/s while you're away. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

Jennifer provides in-home boarding services in Chelsea, New York

8/16/2018

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 had cats from the moment I was able to ask for one when I was little, who I promptly named Socks, because of her cute, dainty, little, white dipped feet. Socks was my best friend for 21 years, and over my life I've been lucky to have called Jasmine, Tubba, and Kitty my best friends as well. I've also come to befriend so many other wonderful furry souls since I began petsitting nearly nonstop 3.5 years ago. I have a lovely apartment in the center of Chelsea, where your feline friend will enjoy basking in the sunlit rooms, or sitting next to me while we Netflix and chill.

I'm a former full-time dogwalker, teacher, admissions consultant, turned Household Manager and Petsitter. What does that mean for you and your cat? Most importantly it means that much of the work day, I work from home, so I can spend a lot of time with your baby. Yay! As a Household Manager (I work for a family and help them manage their homes, travels, staff, etc), I am a highly organized person who enjoys a clean aesthetic, so you'll find my home is always plenty clean and safe for your best friend. You'll receive prompt responses that are articulate and full of silly photos of your friend :)

If you need a temporary home for your cat/s Jennifer can provide the perfect environment until you return. Her apartment in Chelsea is full of light and Jennifer works from home so your pet will not spend long periods on her/his own. 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, my name is Ashey! I'm a great cat boarder because I've grown up with two cats and recently took care of a litter of 5 kittens when I lived in New Jersey! This means I am familiar with multiple cat personality types and this will come in handy because as we all know - not every cat is the same! I will care for your cat just as if it were my own. Since I moved to the Lincoln Center neighborhood in Manhattan, I have space for a new cat and love caring for one. Professionally, I am an executive assistant and I work from home, so expect your cat to have my full care and attention! I'm very responsible, respectful and look forward to meeting you and your little one!

Angie provides in-home boarding services in Washington Heights, 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've lived in NYC for 6 years--four of those spent with a beautiful black cat named Frida, and two were spent with two additional cats named Zorro and Mochi. Through living with these delightful fur balls, I gained a lot of experience in administering meds (one was diabetic) and learning the subtle purrs of contented kitties. Since my roommate moved away, I'm without a cat of my own, so I'm delighted to open my home to kitties that need a homey place to lodge for a while.
I'm an actor and freelancer in the city, with a passion for art and animals. When not in rehearsals, I often work from home, so can be available for plenty of quality time with your cat.

Bright, friendly, and cheerful, Angie is a very experienced cat lover. She lives in a small comfortable 2 bedroom apartment on W. 172nd street and is accustomed to having a cat in the apartment. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s. We will help you connect with the best caregiver.

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. Contact us and send more details about your cat and the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.

"Hi! My name is Katelyn and I am a graduate of Kean University, now residing in Hamilton Heights Manhattan! I am a server in Times Square, with a very flexible schedule allowing me to devote plenty of time to your fur baby. I was 4 years old when I got my first pet, and have loved and cared for animals ever since.

Kitty in NY is the best way to fill that void, and I promise I will care for your cat as if they were my own.

Leaving a member of your family can be scary, but your pet will be loved and taken care of as if you never left! "

Hi! I'm a writer and a graduate student at NYU and I live in Fort Greene, Brooklyn. I had my own cat, Max, whom I raised from the age of 4 months and who passed away in January.

Right now, in addition to cat boarding, I’m a graduate student at NYU Silver School of Social work in training to become a clinical therapist.

"I’m Randall. After a successful career as an Industrial Engineer I retired young. Today I enjoy time as an avid soccer player and fan. I love all animals and call all cats and dogs Baby! I play with cats as much or as little as they like and they can sleep in my bed, on the couch or wherever they are comfortable. I had many dogs growing up but two wonderful cats who were so soft playful and cuddly that I couldn’t resist them. Cleo I adopted from a neighbors litter of kittens. She showered me with affection and shared my bed. Chloe was a neighborhood stray who adopted me. I happily took her into my home. They loved each other and I loved them. Missing the affection, playfulness and joy they brought, I look forward to sharing my home, a studio apartment, in a luxury high-rise building on 10th Avenue in the West 50’s, with your precious Baby."

Hi, I’m Whitney, a nurse, living with my wonderful boyfriend, Joe. We’re located in a 1-bedroom elevator building in the West 70’s, just steps from Central Park. We are both cat lovers. I was 7 years old when I got Mickey, my first kitty. Mickey was hyper, full of life, and loved to snuggle. I remember falling in love with him from the very first day. My love for furry affection has never wavered and I have since lived with and cared for many furry friends. In college, my roommate and I fostered strays and abused cats, helping them socialize in order to find them a forever home. I appreciate and respect all these little animals, from the mischievous kitten to the shy and timid. I look forward to caring for your cat as if it were my own.

Greetings all - I LOVE KITTIES!

I currently reside sole in a large apartment in Woodside, New York, where I have a home office. My handsome tuxedo kitty Checkers passed in 2012, and since then I haven’t had pets of my own.

Checkers and his brother Hobo were rescues from a handbag factory in Brooklyn – I’m actually in the handbag business.

Hi my name is Etha and I've been working with Kitty in New York for 5 years. I am 32 years old and I live in Gramercy Park in Manhattan. I enjoy this company a lot; it allows me to have a pet when it's convenient and the added companionship. I am a teacher, a babysitter and a nanny. I grew up in South Carolina with cats all my life. they are my favorite animal to be around and to have. I like to think that they are my spirit animal LOL!! Having cats stay in my home, I feel like I'm being a blessing to them because they don't have to be in a kennel or unloved while their owners are away. I hope to keep doing this job until I leave New York!

Etha has hosted many cats over the years. She has a lot of regulars. If you live near Gramercy Park Etha can provide a temporary home for your cat until you return. 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 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 had pets of all sorts for all of my life and, always, I have had cats. I understand cats; they seem to match my nature. I resonate with their independence and understand and respect their signals. For the last five years, for the first time in my life, I have not had a cat of my own. I have, however, had plenty of cats in my life, as I have been cat/house sitting my way around the world. This has given me the opportunity to not only have some amazing travel experiences but also to get to know many different cats of various types and personalities. I especially remember Potu, a big white, muscular male who loved to sleep purring on my chest all night with his paw sweetly inserted in my cupped hand. Then there was Glimpsey, a beautiful Egyptian Maus. He was full of mischief and very personable until it was time for his breathing treatment, (He was asthmatic). Then he would hide in places that were very hard to find and required much patience and coaxing. I wish I had know then about the app with the sounds of different cats meowing. Now, I would just play those sounds and I bet he's be out in no time. Then, of course, there was Mr Gibbs, a British Shorthair. With his big head, and thick coat of hair, he would sit and stare at me with those big round, dark Shorthair eyes.....what a very particular, peculiar and endearing creature he was. It was like spending time with the Cheshire Cat from Alice in Wonderland.

I am a retired psychotherapist. I enjoy caring for people and animal. I find it fills out my heart and brings me joy. Both during my many years as a cat mama and my past five as a cat/house-sitter I have honed my skills in caring for ailing cats. I have administered breathing treatments, given shots and medications, and dressed wounds among other things. Additionally, I have dealt with the whole gamut of personalities from the highly anxious to the very needy and everything in between. I am very aware that it may not be only the cat that is feeling a bit anxious about the separation of pet and owner. I always send pictures and little updates so the owners can rest assured that their beloved pet(s) are well cared for.

I love cats and miss having cat energy in my life and I look forward to taking care of yours. I have a whole wall of windows with a nice wide sill, just the right size for a cat to stretch out and enjoy the warm afternoon sun. My space is clutter free and there are many soft snuggly kitty spots to be discovered. If a visiting cat wants to snuggle in a chair with me or curl up in my bed for the night I am more than happy to share. Now that I am retired I fill my life with the things I love: dance, photography, writing, reading and cats.

If you live in Chelsea, Linda is the perfect caregiver for your kitties! She can welcome your cat in her home, where he/she will be the only pet! In-home boarding is recommended for mid/long term services or cats who love human company. She can also visit your cats in your apartment, cat sitting visits are recommended for shorter periods or very shy cats. Contact us and send more details about 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!

I grew up surrounded by cats, and I've had a fondness for them and their little quirky personalities for as long as I can remember. My family kept many of our own as pets and members of our family, but the reason I've met so many different cats in my life is that we also fostered kittens to support the local SPCA in Richmond, VA. We'd welcome a few cats at a time into our home, feed them nice tasty wet food, give them lots of love and attention, and prepare them to be their cutest, most presentable selves in time for the next adoption event, where they'd be picked up by their new lucky families. Of course, it was always a little bittersweet to see them off, but it was such a fun and rewarding way to serve the community and the rescue animal population.

A bit about me... when I'm not at home playing with your cat, I practice and teach yoga -- either privately in a one-on-one setting at my clients' homes, publicly at a few yoga studios around the city, and occasionally throughout the country and world on workshop tours with my wife, who also teaches and specializes in meditation. The two of us would be thrilled to host your cat in our feline-friendly apartment in Bed-Stuy!

Henry will provide a loving and caring environment for your cat/s until you return. He and his wife will pamper your cat and you will receive photo updates every few days. In-home boarding is a good solution for your mid/long term needs. 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 to help you connect with the best in-home boarding or cat sitting service.

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!

Nora was one of the caregivers we recommended to provide in-home boarding services around 42nd Street in Manhattan. She worked with us for a year and a half and we were sorry when she moved out. We reconnected on May 2018 when she settled in Jersey City.

I last worked for kitty in NY about 5 years ago, and now interested in doing so again. In my experience the many kitties I cared for were great, it was nice to have the company of their many different personalities. My love for animals is limitless, they bring the best out of me, and in return I love to care and provide nurture to them.

I was born in El Salvador, but came to the US at the age of 7. I am definitely more American, but my roots are deeply embedded in me.

If you live in Jersey City, Hoboken or Union City, Nora will be glad to help you with your cat. Her studio is full of light and it would be good temporary home for a calm kitty. Nora will send you periodic updates during the service. Contact us to tell us more about the service you need.

Great people we have met! - Tabish

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!

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.

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.

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 and currently have a Feng Shui consulting business. 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 Sharda 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.

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!

Rachel and Amanda share a sun-drenched, spacious, 2-bedroom West Village (11th St.) apartment with ample room for play and variety of cat-napping locations from which to choose. Their large street-facing windows for people watching are a cat’s delight.

Amanda comes from a cat-loving family. When her grandmother found herself with too many cats, Amanda stepped in adopting two of them. Sarah was her favorite. A sweet little girl who snuggled up in bed and favored curling up near Amanda’s head. These days, when Amanda visits her family she looks forward to spending time with Pip, her family's cat. Although Pip lives in-doors he does appreciate the occasional foray onto the deck to bask in the sun. And it’s often that Amanda needs to pet him into “bliss” so she can bring him back indoors. He’s very much her buddy.

Rachel is a NYC advertising professional by day and animal lover by night – and day – pretty much all the time. For the past three years, she has worked for the owner of a pair of rescue cats. Brother and sister by adoption, JJ keeps Rachel on her toes. At mealtimes this adventurous and curious boy is a serious foodie who needs to be separated from his timid sister, Betty, to ensure she gets her just dessert. Although you might think he takes advantage of his sister you can often find Betty licking the food scraps from JJ’s face. Their bonding warms Rachel’s heart.

These lovely ladies look forward to caring for your precious cat.

Rachel and Amanda will provide the perfect temporary home for your cat/s. You may visit and meet them before you confirm your reservation. Contact us and send more details about your cat 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!

Hi there! My name is Kevin and I was born and raised just west of here, in Buffalo, New York. Growing up, my family rescued a total of eight cats and they've been running around the house ever since. My mother always extended a hand to a baby kitten in need of a home and in doing so, turned me into a full-blown cat lover. Moving to New York, it's become more and more difficult being away from all my furry friends, which is why I turned to Kitty in NY! Providing assistance while also forming relationships with you and your feline friends would bring me nothing but joy!

I am a graduate of Fredonia State University with a Bachelor's of Fine Arts in Acting. This is where I met my two wonderful roommates, Brittany and Elaine. They are the sweetest two girls I know and are also proud cat lovers. Together, the three of us manage and run Shellscrape Theatre Company. I am also an avid photographer and would be honors to give your kitties a little photoshoot. We are passionate about our work just as we are passionate about our NYC family and would love to have your kitties come join in on the fun with us!

If you live uptown Manhattan Kevin will help you provide a caring temporary home for your cat. Contact us with more information about the service you need. We'll be glad to help you connect you with the best in-home boarding and cat sitting 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

Hi, my name is Chris. I'm a native New Yorker and lover of all animals. Growing up in Brooklyn we always had cats (usually two or more), Sammy the German Shepherd (so friendly kids on the block would ring our bell to ask if she could come out and play), a big fish tank, at times hamsters or gerbils, once a purple parakeet (until one of the cats got to it) and even a snake! As an adult I've always had at least one cat but usually two since I believe it's nice for them to have company when I'm not home. One of my favorite cats was a copper-colored Abyssinian named Maverick, Once he kept me company on a road trip to Florida, not in a carrier, he sat on pillow right next to me. Most recently I had Pepper and Mushroom, both from the time they were tiny kittens. I named him Mushroom because he was a totally white puff ball with crystal blue eyes. Pepper was a tuxedo, she was an affectionate talker with a big personality. They lived into their late teens but unfortunately I recently lost them both within a few months of each other.

Most of my career I've worked for small non-profit organizations as an administrative assistant, office manager, and event planner. I've volunteered at North Shore Animal League and worked at the Westminster Dog Show. However, I am currently in between jobs so am home all of the time and can spoil your cat with attention. I miss my cats, miss not having someone greet me at the door or to curl up with on my couch. And just like people, I know cats can have very different personalities. So whether a young playful active cat, or one who likes a lot of affection, or one who just wants to be left alone... I will be happy to welcome them into my home. In live in Chelsea in a nice size apartment. Your cat(s) are welcome to roam wherever they please. My living room gets tons of morning light, your cat will enjoy basking in the sun as if they are on their own vacation.

If you live in Chelsea Christina will be glad to help you with your cat. Contact us and send us more details about the service you need.

Michelle is very attentive and very accommodating. I like her a lot!
She was very helpful and kind. She sent photos of my cat lounging and playing in her apartment and she went above and beyond her responsibility by both picking up and dropping off my cat—so appreciated!
