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 Katie. I have 2 cats that are brother and sister. I rescued them when they were kittens, 2 baby kittens in a bucket, and they are now 14 years old. They are my babies and I understand the need to have your babies taken care of with love as you would yourself. I am starting to go through the different ailments that senior cats develop. One has asthma and the other has bowel disease and the beginning stages of kidney disease. I've had to change what they eat, how they eat, give them various medications and extra love. I have been a caregiver of cats for most of my life and absolutely love it.

If you need a cat sitting service on the Upper West Side, Katie would provide the best care for your kitties. Contact us and send more details about your service. 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!

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.

If you live in or around Union Square, NY and are looking for in cat boarding services we recommend that you connect with Carol. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

I was in the midst of transitioning apartments and Carol was able to accommodate Fridah in very short notice as well as my request to extend the stay beyond the original one week.

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.

Branson provides in home boarding services on the Lower East SIde, Manhattan

10/29/2019

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 Branson LB, and I've been taking care of cats my whole life. As a kid, my most beloved cat was an orange tabby named Amber. He was truly a member of the family as he was loving, cuddly, and would even fetch like a dog! Growing up with cats, I came to love cats while also understanding that every cat is different and has a unique personality. Soon after graduating college in Los Angeles, I began to foster and take care of kittens in my apartment, while also finding them each a forever home. Now, living in New York, I have recently begun to regularly cat sit in the city. It has brought me so much joy that I started to want to do it even more. I live in a minimal, modern junior one bedroom in the Lower East Side. It's clean and there is plenty of room for cats to perch, as well as plenty of places to tuck away.

I've been living in New York for about two and a half years. I previously worked at BuzzFeed as a video producer, and I now work as a freelance videographer and editor. In my free time I enjoy biking around the city, exercising, and reading in the park.

I hope I have the opportunity to meet you, and take care of your cat!

If you live ion the Lower East Side and are looking for in home boarding services we recommend that you connect with Branson. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

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

10/1/2019

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 :)

If you live in or around Clinton Hill, Brooklyn and are looking for in home boarding services we recommend that you connect with Miriam and Andy. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

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 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.

Sharisse was awesome! She wrote down all the instructions to be sure not to miss anything. Every morning and night, she sent me photos and videos of my cat with some text saying exactly what she had done with him and how he was doing. The videos showed her playing with him, brushing him, or him eating. He looked like he was doing really well and having a lot of fun with her, so I wasn't worried about him at all while I was gone! She told me that she really loves cats, which is evident. She bonded with my cat easily and I completely trusted her with him. She was also very flexible and easy to work with.

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.

If you live on the West Side and are looking for cat sitting services while you are away we recommend that you connect with Beatrice Contact us and send 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!

I’ve always been strongly drawn to animals, especially cats. It all started with me fostering a pregnant cat named Snooks while I was in high school. She was shy and timid at first, but we quickly became close friends and it was such an amazing and eye opening experience to help raise all of her eventual kittens. After I managed to get them all adopted by loving families and Snooks went back to her original owner, I couldn’t help but miss them. But I also couldn’t wait to start again. It soon became a common sight seeing 5-6 cats/kittens scampering around my house.

Ever since then I’ve fallen in love with looking after and taking care of cats.

I’ve been fostering cats 2011, and I’ve been a cat sitter for independent clients and professional agencies since 2016. I occasionally look after my roommate’s twin kitties as well. I’ve experienced cats with all different types of personalities and quirks, from the super outgoing to the super skittish, so I’m prepared for anything. I have experience with dogs and reptiles too, so don’t feel afraid to ask!

I’m originally from LA and came to NYC for school, and decided to stick around after I graduated. I’m an aspiring graphic designer and illustrator who happens to also have a strong fondness for furry animals! I love caring for cats and making sure they ultimately receive the care and affection that they require to continue living happy and healthy.

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!

In 2004, I officially became a "cat person" when my wife (Monique) and I got together. Along with Monique, two sweet cats named Felix and Milo came into my life. I remember sitting on Monique's couch early in our dating, and Milo jumped up on my lap. That one sweet act hooked me! Felix and Milo were the best of buddies and gave us so much joy for years until they both passed in 2013. They were the same age. Within a year, we had adopted two new boys - Hershey and Nugget. Hershey is a beautiful Bombay black cat, and Nugget is a handsome brown tabby. At only four years old each, we are treated every day to the energy and entertainment that young cats bring. Just yesterday, there was a squirrel on our terrace, and Hershey and Nugget were transfixed on the squirrel and talking up a storm, as if the squirrel was hearing every word they said!

My many years of caring for Felix, Milo, Hershey and Nugget have taught me exactly what cats need. Not only food, water and litter needs, but love, affection and play needs. I will bring this knowledge and care with great pride to looking after your cat(s). When not cat-sitting, I am a professional musician (a trombone player) who primarily plays Broadway shows, including Ain't Too Proud, The Cher Show, and King Kong, among others, as well as the Radio City Christmas Spectacular. I am also a very avid Mets fan.

If you live in upper Manhattan or the surrounding area, Brian will be delighted to look after your cat and send regular kitty updates after each visit to your home so you will know your cat is well cared for while you are 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!

I have always had kitties in my life, I can't remember a time when i didn't. I grew up with a rescue cat named Meeko (still miss him everyday!) and have taken care of friends' cats here and there since I moved to the city. To prepare to have kitties come stay with me through Kitty in NY I've moved all my plants out of the way, hidden all my cords, and picked up some mouse toys.

I am an actress who has many jobs to support myself and my art and cat sitting would be perfect because I'd get to work from home a lot more often and have the company of cuddly kitties!

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 first New York experience of sitting was when I baby sat a friend's cat, named Mamie Jean. He traveled a lot for work. This was in the late 1980's. She was a sweet cat.

I have since had three cats of my own in New York. My first kitty started out as a boarder. The person who was to adopt her after a month, could no longer do so. Cinnamon was a scared kitty and over the years I learned how to understand her "particular ways" and just love her, play with her (and know when to leave her alone!) I watched her grow comfortable and happy. I had my baby Cinnamon for eight wonderful years.

My two boys, Sammi and Eli were rescues as well. I received them when they were three months old. They were so happy being in each other's company and they played a lot! One of their favorite games in the beginning was "let's see how many times we can hit Mommy in the head to wake her up so she can play with US!"

I have had thirteen wonderful years with Eli and 17 years with Sammi. I believe that this new chapter in my "feline life experience" will manifest more adventures with the most interesting of furry ones, cats.

If you live in or around Hells Kitchen and are looking for in home boarding services we recommend that you connect with Rosa. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

Rosa has a knack for taking care of cats. She sent a few videos of my two cats while I was out of town, and they seemed at ease and calm. Rosa has a sweet demeanor and relaxed vibe, and I would definitely ask her to board my cats again.

Rosa was very friendly, communicative, and professional. And our cat, Henry, really loved his stay at Rosa's house.

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 :)

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.

Gari provides in cat sitting services in downtown Brooklyn, 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!

3 years ago, on a rainy August evening in Miami, as I was walking up to my apartment, I suddenly encountered the love of my life. Off to the side of the path, there was a little gray and brown striped cat, wet and shivering. I stopped right where I stood, heart in my throat, and she ran right up to me. She weaved between my legs a bit before plopping herself right on my sneakered feet. I squealed (as quietly as I could) with delight: just 2 nights before, I had proclaimed to my roommate that we would be getting a cat. We had already began to rearrange our furniture, effectively baby- (or kitty-)proofing the space; we bought oodles of wet food, a comfy bed, a carrier, and tons of toys. We had no idea that 2 days later, we would be welcoming this small furry ball of energy, who came to be called Tootsie, into our home. I am so glad she did!

My name is Gari and I am a woman of many talents. I am originally from NYC. I'm a Prep for Prep, Sacred Heart ('12), Wesleyan ('16), and AmeriCorps/City Year ('17, '18) alumna. I've lived in Miami (and briefly in Maryland) for the past 2 years. I came back to the Big Apple at the end of 2018 (for those keeping track: since moving back to NYC, Tootsie is currently living with my cousin and I visit her every other weekend). In addition to loving up on and caring for cats, a large portion of my time goes towards building my healing & coaching business, where I work to create spaces for folx to explore & better understand themselves, their feelings, and their purpose. When I'm not doing that, you can catch me cleaning/KonMari-ing people's homes, reading something about consciousness, drawing in my notebook, or working on any one of my numerous passion projects!

If you're looking for a loving care for your cat/s and live in Downtown Brooklyn, Gari will visit your cats and send regular updates. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.

Gari has a great spirit and chill demeanor that is very comforting. We were in great hands. She went above and beyond when our upstairs neighbors flooded their apartment and it came down through our kitchen ceiling. She alerted us immediately and in addition to comforting the cat and moving her food away from the water she helped us clean up the mess. Very much appreciated her doing this. The apartment is clean the cat is very happy. Thanks Gari!

Sophie provides in-home boarding services in Harlem, NYC

3/27/2019

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 come from a cat lover family: my great-grand parents, my grand-parents, my parents had cats. For as far as I can remember, I have heard stories about and lived with cats. I feel totally comfortable with them. They are beautiful, intelligent and loving animals, I love and respect them deeply: I like the fact that they are close to their true nature. By nature I am a calm and sensitive person and adjust well to the cats' personalities which are so different from one another. A part-time teacher, I am at home a lot, translating or making craft, so I am able to spend time, play and have quality time with the cats, or let them be. Since my last cat Rose died, I don't live with a cat, and I miss the companionship. My apartment is a cosy and cats friendly one bedroom so no worries about scratching furniture or rugs!

If you're located close to Harlem, Sophie will provide a perfect temporary home for your furry friend until you're available. In-Home Boarding is a good solution for long term or very social cats. Contact us and send more details about the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.

2/28/2019

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 from Katyarina and Hailey! We both genuinely have a love for animals of all kinds, and both grew up in homes filled with them. We both have always had cats of our own, and we've missed having them around since we moved to the city, so we are more than excited to share our home with your kitties while you're away and have lots of love to give! We are very familiar with the range of attention that cats want and/or need and recognize that every cat is wildly different, each with an amazingly unique personality from the next, and that is what makes them so special, and we are more than willing to accommodate to their needs!

We are both 20-year-old students at the Fashion Institute of Technology, I study Business Management and Hailey studies Advertising/Marketing, and Communications. We currently share a cozy apartment in the Gramercy Park / East Village area of Manhattan, with lots of natural sunlight pouring in for your kitty's daytime naps! We both work part-time jobs in fashion and retail so we are home more often than not and would have plenty of time to share with your felines!:) We look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!

If you are looking for a loving temporary home for your kitty and are in Murray Hill or Gramercy or the surrounding area we recommend you connect with Katyarina and Hailey. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.
