Meet Gloria, offering home cat boarding in Hamilton Heights, Manhattan

12/4/2025

0 Comments

 
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.”
Picture
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.

Cat Sitting on the Upper East Side – Meet Gwen

11/27/2025

0 Comments

 
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.
Picture
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!

Whether it’s feeding, playtime, or quiet company, I always show up with patience, care, and a genuine love for cats 💕

Her apartment is cozy and sunny, with plenty of space for cat naps on the couch or bed. There’s also a small terrace (cats won’t have access) that brings in lots of natural light and warmth.

Tehrier will enjoy taking care of your cat while you're away.
Tehrier provides cat boarding services in the Lower East Side.
A psychology student at NYU, Tehrier spends much of her time at home studying, so her feline guests enjoy plenty of human company. She has experience with both cats and dogs — she even started a non-profit dog care service back home in India. Karen, who visited her apartment, described her as “polite and refined”, and noted that her home felt calm, safe, and ideal for cat boarding.

At Kitty in NY, we hand-pick people who genuinely love cats and offer safe, quiet spaces where your pet can feel at home. Tehrier is a wonderful choice if you live downtown or near the East Village and are looking for a kind, reliable caregiver while you’re away.

Boarding is the best option for cats who prefer a stable environment while their owners travel. Your kitty will stay in a private home and receive personalized care and attention.

Contact us and we’ll be happy to match you with Tehrier or another great caregiver in Manhattan.

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.

I love all cats; to the fluffiest, sweetest, slimmest, chonkiest, dramatic, bob-tailed, mitten-wearing, bare-skinned, and spicy ones. My home is a cozy abode with warm tones and a natural feel. I want your kitty to feel comfortable in my home just as I am. Cuddles, playtime, and one-sided conversations with occasional meows by your cat are included!

Sylvia, Your Purr-fect Cat Sitter!

My extensive foster cat experience means I'm adept at understanding feline behavior and providing a safe, enriching environment for your beloved companion.

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.

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

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

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

Every caregiver I have had with Kitty in NY has been lovely, but Ruxandra took the extra care to meet me in person beforehand. Because she took the time to meet the cats, I knew I could trust her with my kitty friends. Thanks, Ruxandra!

All I have to say is that when I went to pick my cat Milan from Erica he was better! She even was able to clean his paws which I could not do. I have to find out what her secret was lol! 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. I’m definitely using her again when I go away. Milan loves her too.

We want to let you know that Erica provided excellent care of Persha during our trip last week. Erica closely followed our instructions, sent daily updates, and offered a safe and loving environment to our kitty. 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!

A native of Romania, I lived in Belgium for a number of years before coming to the US. I now very much enjoy life in New York City, and this is home. As a licensed Real Estate professional I often work from home, and have a flexible schedule. My one bedroom apartment, located in East Harlem (111th Street), has the space and ambience for your kitty to play. Since I have a backyard with trees your kitty can enjoy watching the birds and squirrels from the window. 

Presley was 7 year old when he adopted me. He was chuck-full of personality. When I sat in a chair he’d jump in my lap. He constantly followed me around the house, slept in bed with me, and showed his discontent when I was going out. A very playful fellow he loved having his belly rubbed. He lived to be 14 years old and I miss him to this day.

My friend has a new kitty, just 6 months old. She gets very excited when I visit, jumps around and plays with everything that moves, chews on my fingers…ah, so adorable.

Laura  provides cat sitting visits in the Upper East Side and East Harlem. Laura is the perfect option. Cat sitting is a great option for short term services or a very shy cat. She will take care of you cat/s until you return. Contact us and send more details about the service you need.

Laura LOVES cats and took really good care of our cat Obi. She didn't simply feed him, change his water and cleaned his litter. 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.

Barbara provides cat sitting services in Forest Hills

At KITTY in NY we are proud to work with a wonderful network of caregivers. Over the years, we’ve chosen people who share one special quality: a genuine love for cats!

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.
Picture
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.​

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.

Meet Harley – Cat Boarding in Brooklyn by Barclays Center

8/21/2025

0 Comments

 
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!
Picture
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.

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 am Michelle….. I am a resident of the Lower Manhattan Financial District for the past 18 years. I am 42 years old and have been a cat lover / owner my entire life. I have had cleaning jobs which entailed me being trusted with my client’s keys to their apartments. I had one cat Rumsfeld who was diagnosed with hepatic lipidosis, a disease which normally does not end well. This meant for a large part of his life I had to feed him and medicate him through a tube. I was able to nurse him back to health and he lived another 10 years. So I have experience dealing with sickly kitties and have no issues with medication…..

In closing I currently have 3 cats, Grissom, Brooklyn and Roger, who I love dearly. Roger even has his own Instagram page.  If given the opportunity I promise to show your furry companions the same love I show my own and to respect your personal space as if it were my own.
Picture
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.

Denny – Caring Cat Boarding in Jamaica Estates

8/14/2025

0 Comments

 
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.

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

8/4/2025

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!

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.
​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 might have been the best cat sitter we've had yet. I mean I've been happy with all of them, but she really played with the cats lots and they looked so happy in the pictures she sent us.

Erika was fantastic! She was attentive, communicative and really seemed to like our weird cats. She asked great questions and went above and beyond to make sure the cats were okay. Would definitely request her again for our next trip!

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.
