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 taken care of many pets for my friends and family over the years and have decided to do it with Kitty In NY professionally. I have always loved animals! 

When I am not spending time with animals, I am a makeup artist for commercial and editorial projects. I get to be creative and meet people, which is a dream. 

I promise to be respectful of your homes and treat your pets like my own. 

Lindsay will be glad to help you with your cat/s. If you are located in Ridgewood or Bushwick, please contact us and send more details about the service you need.

At Kitty in NY, we work with a diverse network of cat caregivers across the city, offering different options depending on each client’s needs and location. Today we’d like to introduce Corin, a cat caregiver offering boarding services in the Bronx.

A calm home for cats who enjoy company
Corin lives alone in a modern one-bedroom apartment in the Bronx. The space is clean, quiet, and well-suited for boarding, with plenty of open floor area for cats to explore and relax, along with a cozy bed where feline guests can lounge comfortably.
Her apartment is located in a modern elevator building, making it easy and safe for drop-offs and pick-ups.

A genuine love for cats
Corin has cared for cats for many years and has hands-on experience with feline routines, including feeding, administering medication when needed, and providing attentive companionship. In her free time, she also feeds and cares for stray cats, reflecting a genuine bond with animals and a patient, nurturing approach.
​
She describes herself as kind, loving, and attentive—qualities that translate naturally into the care she provides for visiting cats.

Corin is polite, responsive, and open in her communication. She understands the importance of keeping cat parents informed and making sure their pets feel safe and comfortable while away from home.

Her boarding setup may be a good match for:

• Cats who enjoy human interaction
• Cats who do well in a calm, home environment
• Owners located in or near the Bronx looking for a convenient boarding option

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

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

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

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

Home boarding offers a stable routine, low stress, safe space, and the emotional comfort that only a home environment can provide. At Kitty in NY, all caregivers follow clearly established guidelines and communication protocols to ensure that every cat stay is safe, structured and filled with individual love and attention.
​
Contact us!
If this feels like the right choice for your cat, we’re happy to guide you through the next steps and ensure a seamless boarding experience.

We’re pleased to introduce Gwen, a highly experienced cat sitter offering in-home visits on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

Originally from Ireland, Gwen has lived in the UES since the early 1990s. Before transitioning into pet care, she worked in corporate aviation as a flight attendant and crew supervisor—roles that required calm judgment, strong communication, and exceptional attention to safety and comfort. She brings those same qualities to every cat she cares for.

Experienced, reliable, and medically confident

Gwen has cared for cats her entire life and has extensive experience with:

• Senior cats
• Cats requiring daily medications
• Cats with complex or chronic medical needs

Her approach is patient, proactive, and highly attentive, offering the kind of careful monitoring that gives cat owners true peace of mind.

A calm and caring presence in your home

​Since her own building is not pet-friendly, Gwen considers cat sitting the “next best thing” to having a cat of her own. She takes pride in making each kitty feel safe, loved, and understood, and she treats every home with the same respect she brought to her aviation career.

She is available for daily cat sitting visits throughout the Upper East Side.
If you’re traveling and need someone dependable to care for your feline family member, Gwen may be the perfect match.

Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you're looking for. We'll be glad to help you!

I really appreciate that the caregiver took care of my cat so kindly and warmly.

At KITTY in NY, we are proud to work with caregivers who combine skill, reliability, and genuine affection for every cat they meet. Maureen is one of those special people.

A long-time member of our team, Maureen returns to Kitty in NY after taking time off to nurse her own newly adopted cat back to health—an experience that deepened her already strong understanding of feline needs. With years of cat care experience, she is skilled at engaging with playful, chatty cats while also offering gentle comfort to senior kitties who simply crave a soft pet or a warm tummy rub.

When asked why Maureen would like to go back to Kitty in New York, she remarked:  “I love taking care of these sweetie pies and making them feel special and then sending a photo to their parents to let them know their little ones are in good hands.”

If you live on the Upper West Side and need a trusted, attentive cat sitter, Maureen could be the perfect match. Cat sitting visits are ideal for short-term care, whether for a quick trip or a few weeks away. You’ll receive photo updates after each visit, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your cat is happy and cared for.
​
Contact us with details about your cat(s) and the service you need—we’ll be happy to connect you with Maureen or another trusted caregiver.

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

You bring your cat to the caregiver's apartment where she/he will be treated and their own pet. Your cat will be the only pet in the apartment.

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

But I highly recommend Erica to take care of your cat baby. She’s sweet and kind. Also when I went to pick up my cat after my vacation everything was totally clean out the litter box his water fountain and his bowls. She’s the sweetest person.

Persha was a bit reluctant to engage at first, but by the end of the week, Erica had established a warm relationship with her. We would like to recommend Erica very highly to your future clients.

We were also very pleased to work with you and KITTY in NY in placing Persha. You made the process easy and stress-free!

Thank you, John!

We were away for 2 weeks and Laura sent us daily updates with pics and videos of Obi playing with her, or doing the cat's thing; hanging out oblivious to human presence:) He obviously was in good hands. Laura understood Obi's routine immediately and went along with it . First eat, then play, then hang out, then little trip to the kitchen to check if by any miracle there was more food:) I highly recommend Laura. She will take good care of your furry friend.

My name is Barbara and I can provide cat sitting services in Forest Hills, Queens. Throughout my adult life I have lived with a cat. Having recently lost my cat (who lived to be 16-1/2 years old), taking care of other people’s cats is a good way to continue to have them in my life. I am very sensitive to each particular cat’s personality and needs and will provide as much affection and attention as a cat indicates it wants.

I was born in Brooklyn but lived in San Francisco for 25 years. There, I worked as a Project Manager for a court-appointed Receiver/Bankruptcy Trustee and, following that, solely-owned a craft store. Since returning to New York City I worked in retail for 15 years at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

My L shaped studio apartment has nice windows and good space for cats to run around. I am retired and would be home much of each day. I would be happy to provide additional information about myself should you wish.

If you are located in Forest Hills and need to leave the city for a few days, Barbara might be available to help you with your cat/s. Cat sitting is a great option for your cat’s comfort, since our caregiver visits your home to provide care, attention, and companionship while you’re gone. Contact us with details about your cat and the service you’re looking for — we’ll be happy to get back to you as soon as possible.​

Laura gave my senior cat so much love and attention and kept me in the loop while I was away with photos and messages. My cat needs MANY medications, so it is asking a lot of any caregiver, but she handled it all without stress. My kitty came home so relaxed and we had no issues :)

Laura sent pictures of Sunny throughout the stay and provided status updates on his wellbeing. Very satisfied with the service she provided.

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'm Melissa - I've been a volunteer cat foster parent for two years, and a lifelong cat lover who's had many special kitties as pets. I pride myself on understanding cat communication and body language very well, and interacting with them on their terms. Whether they want to snuggle, play, or even hide, I create a safe and peaceful environment for them to be themselves. I love all of their unique personalities and delight in getting to know them, even for a short time. I've included pictures with me snuggling with my foster cats - from the most outgoing to the absolute shyest, I've bonded with all of them and they all have a special place in my heart! I know your kitty is one of your most special family members and I take the responsibility to care for them very seriously. 

If you live near Fort Green and need to leave the city for a few weeks, Melissa might be available to welcome your beloved feline in her two bedroom apartment. In-home boarding is a good option for your mid/long term needs, you bring your cat/s to the caregiver's apartment where they will be the ONLY pets! Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you're looking for. We'll be glad to help you!

If you’re looking for a safe, loving, and attentive boarding option for your cat in Brooklyn, we’re thrilled to introduce Harley Chung, one of our trusted caregivers. Harley offers cat boarding in her bright and cozy studio apartment, located in a doorman building right by the Barclays Center.

Hi I go by Harley and I'm excited to be your trusted temporary cat caregiver. I used to have a cat named Latte Cat and I loved him so much but we had to go our separate ways when I moved across the country to NYC about 3 years ago. Maybe that's a sad story but I share that story to tell you that I could understand how much you might miss your pet even if you're temporarily out of town!
​
Currently, I'm working as a child & adolescent psychiatric nurse practitioner, and also working on my doctoral degree. I have lots of papers to write and because I do my best work at home, I would love to have quiet company and give lots of love to your cat baby while you're away. Hope to meet you and your pet soon!

Harley lives in a renovated, stylish studio apartment on the 27th floor of a modern doorman/elevator building. The space is filled with natural light from large windows (which are never opened, for safety), making it a bright and inviting environment for a cat. There’s a cozy bed for lounging and quiet corners for napping — perfect for cats who enjoy relaxing near their human companion. Since Harley spends much of her time working at home on her doctoral papers, she looks forward to having a feline friend by her side.

Harley’s background in healthcare as a psychiatric nurse practitioner reflects her natural empathy, patience, and attentiveness — qualities that extend seamlessly to her care for animals. With her calm personality and love for cats, she provides a safe and affectionate boarding environment.
​
If you’re traveling and want peace of mind knowing your cat is being cared for in a warm, secure space, Harley is ready to welcome your furry friend. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you're looking for. 

If you live downtown Manhattan Michelle would be happy to visit your kitties in your home. Our 30 min cat sitting visits include: ​​feeding, water refill, cleaning of all bowls, scooping litter box (change of litter when needed), cleaning of feeding and litter box areas, playtime and petting when cats are willing to interact and photo/video updates after each visit. Our cat sitters are insured and bonded.

Contact us and send us your dates/number of visits. We'll be glad to help you with your cat/s while you're away.

Michelle has been taking care of my cat for a while now. Cassie is getting older and she has several chronic conditions. She always takes great care of her. This last time, Cassie stopped eating and was acting sick. She didn’t hesitate to take her to the vet and take amazing care of her. I was so scared being away and although nothing could take away my fear, Michelle did an amazing job making sure my cat was cared for and safe. It honestly brought me to tears coming home to a cat that was eating and happy. I can’t recommend this company enough. and they are more than lucky to have someone compassionate, considerate and cat loving like Michelle working for them.

I had many special requests (among other things, one of my cats has diabetes and needs two insulin injections per day), and the sitter was very responsive to all of them.

Michelle is very caring and keeps in touch so that I know how the kitties are faring.

Karen​

She was attentive to the needs of my cat...which were to leave her alone and give her space...and also not be intimidated by the potential of my cat being aggressive. Because of that vibe my cat did not appear for Michelle and then was super happy when I arrived home having not been forced to engage.

Darius and Marion took great care of my cat Kublai for the four weeks and were very communicative and quick to reach out if there were any questions/concerns. I would be happy to board with them again should the need arise.

At KITTY in NY, we are proud to work with an exceptional group of caregivers who share one important quality: they truly LOVE cats. Over the years, we’ve carefully selected individuals who bring warmth, reliability, and compassion to every cat they meet. Today, we’d like to introduce you to Denny, one of our most dedicated boarding caregivers in Jamaica Estates, Queens.

I’m Denny Daniel, curator and founder of The Museum of Interesting Things. I’ve spent my life teaching both children and adults, which has given me a friendly, curious approach to the world—and to the wonderful pets I meet!
​
I work for myself, which means I’m home often and able to give your cat plenty of attention. My beloved rescue cat, Tristan, was my pride and joy—pampered and loved every single day. Over the years, I’ve also cared for countless cats belonging to friends, so I’m experienced with all kinds of feline personalities.

I live with my mother in a beautiful, clean, and spacious private home in Jamaica Estates, Queens. Here, your cat will enjoy the same level of care and affection that Tristan once did. I also have an apartment in the Village, where my museum resides, and I own a car—so I can even arrange pick-up and drop-off for your cat anywhere in the city.

I’m also a photographer and teacher, so expect picture-perfect updates—your cat will truly be the cat’s meow!

If you need to leave the city for an extended period, in-home boarding is the ideal solution. With me, your cat will be the only pet in the home, and you’ll receive regular updates throughout their stay.

Contact us today with the details of your trip, and we’ll get back to you promptly to arrange the perfect stay for your feline friend.

Denny is very kind, and took great care of my cat. He updated me every day on how my cat was doing, and included pictures. Once I met Denny and saw the space where the cat would stay, I was assured my cat was in good hands.

We chose Denny because we could tell he was a sincere, caring cat lover and he didn’t disappoint. He sent us photos and updates regularly and we could see Bosco was being well looked after and was very happy and healthy and being loved. I would highly recommend Denny and hope he is available when we next need a carer.

Mercy is a very shy and anxious cat, and Denny was able to put her completely at ease by day 2 of her stay. She ate so well, she even gained a pound while there! We could not be happier with this great service!

Denny looked after our Logan for about a week. He was very welcoming, and gave Logan his own space to explore and decompress. Logan seemed comfortable almost right away! Denny was very communicative, and sent updates and pics almost every day we were away. It was great having peace of mind that our boy was well looked after. Pick-up was a breeze - Denny had Logan's water fountain and litter tray bagged up and ready to go when we arrived. He's also quite the character! It was a treat getting to know him.

Denny was very attentive and caring, and his house was really perfect. He sent me numerous pictures and updates, and treated my cat as if he were his own. I really couldn't hope for a better caregiver and I recommend him wholeheartedly.

​Erika has been cat-sitting with Kitty in NY for a few years. She is excited to offer in-home boarding for her clients. She grew up with three cats and was the loving cat-mama to Figaro for 8 years. Fig was a special cat; anxious, high-needs with his health, and older when she adopted him. He taught her patience and lots of ways to administer medications. Erika is comfortable administering fluids and taking care of high-needs kitties. She understands how stressful it is to leave your sweet kitty when they have lots going on. 

She is a bit of a cat whisperer - loves getting even the shyest/suspicious kitties to engage in play. However, she never forces cats beyond their comfort zone - doesn't mind giving a cat its space if that is what it wants. ​

If you live in on the west side of Manhattan or the Bronx along the 2/3 train line, Erika will be delighted to take care of your cat. Kitty in NY will help you find the best caregiver for in home boarding or cat sitting services. Contact us and send more details about your cat and we will be happy to help you.

Erika was FANTASTIC! She did everything that a cat caregiver should do. She scheduled a visit to my home to meet my cat, Smokey, to ensure they got along. Smokey took to her in about 10 minutes and even sat on her shoulder. The transition from my home to her place went smoothly. I received photos and videos of Smokey's stay, which really helped ease my anxiety about leaving him with a stranger. I would definitely use Kitty in NY again in the future.

Erika was wonderful with my cat. She sent pictures and videos and it took her no time to make friends with Rosie who can be fairly standoffish. I hope she will be available next time I need a cat caretaker.
