​
Hi! My name is Rachel. I grew up with two cats and no siblings, so I devoted lots of time to reading cat books and magazines to better understand my furry family members. I’ve taken care of cats from kittens to seniors and love seeing their personalities change as they age. I work from home and can ensure your cat gets plenty of attention as well as space for nap time. In my apartment, your cat will enjoy having plenty of room to lounge on a sunny armchair or to chase a ball of yarn around, as well as a windowsill to safely watch the birds and squirrels in our tranquil backyard. I look forward to meeting your cat and keeping them happy and healthy until you reunite! ​

Rachel was fantastic —Mia had a great stay with her (she didn’t want to leave!) and so accommodating—I really appreciated it during a somewhat stressful weekend to know I was leaving Mia in good hands. I would definitely love for Mia to stay with her again, especially because she went ahead and shared pictures of her when I had forgotten to check in. THANK YOU!

    My cat Carmella was very welcomed in Sara and Mithat's home, and their friendliness made her comfortable right away. We had great communication and both Carmella and I clicked with the caregivers thanks to great communication and mutual interests. Even with Carmella being older and very anxious when being put in a carrier for short travel, she was calm when at their apartment and has stayed calm and happy ever since I got her home!

    Hi, I’m Amanda! I fall in the category of “cat person” among friends, but I’ve taken care of cats, dogs, fish, and chinchillas throughout my life! I lived in Japan for two years and tried to visit as many cat islands as I could – my only regret is that I couldn’t take all the cats back with me! I have two kitties of my own and I can confidently say that they rule my household. I have lived with cats of all ages and am comfortable providing care and administering medicine.
    ​

    I’m a planner by nature, so I will make sure that we cover all the small details to ensure your cat is taken care of and comfortable while you’re away! I’ve had to travel for extended periods in my life before and completely understand what it feels like to leave your cats in the care of others. You can expect to receive full updates and pictures during visits because I love trying to get that perfect picture of a happy cat!


    Picture
    If you’re looking for a cat sitter in Astoria, Amanda will come to your apartment while you’re away and love your cat like her own. She will create a customized care plan to address your cat’s specific needs during your initial meet-and-greet. If you want someone who is detail-orientated, nurturing, and respectful of your home and pet, please connect with Amanda.

    Amanda is amazing!!! 5 out of 5 stars. She is kind, thoughtful, and caring. Even though I booked the cat sitting appointment on very short notice, she came out for a meet and greet. Every day that I was gone she sent me multiple pictures and videos of my cat, along with cute descriptions of that day's visit. She thought of all the little details, like asking me if she could adjust a chair position while I was away so it could be more to my cat's liking. After my trip I came home to a tidy apartment, a well-cared for cat, and a thoughtful note from her. I could not be happier with Amanda!

    ​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 been a huge animal lover my entire life. I grew up with cats and dogs, and I was 5 years old when we adopted our first cat, Tommy. He was an energetic, friendly, gorgeous cat who I was bonded with throughout his entire life. Ever since I got to know Tommy, I knew I was going to be a cat person for good! When I moved out to live on my own, I adopted my best friend, "Twentynine": a sweet, talkative 11-year-old tortie with a big personality. She had been returned to the shelter several times throughout her life because she was very shy and fearful of people and would sometimes lash out if she felt scared, and it took me a while to earn her trust. But with some patience and love, she ended up being the sweetest, friendliest animal I've ever known, and her quirks make me love her even more. Making Twentynine feel safe and loved enough to relax and bond with me has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my lifetime. Our home together is warm and safe, and there's never a dull moment!
    Picture
    ​

    My experience with Twentynine, the cats I grew up with, and all the animals I've worked with in the pet care industry, have taught me so much about patience, compassion, and the practical elements of caring for animals. I'm certified in feline and canine CPR and first aid. When I'm not working with animals, I'm finishing my degree remotely at School of the Art Institute of Chicago, or painting pet portraits. I can't wait to meet your cat!

    If you live in Queens or Northern Brooklyn, Ry, would be glad to help you with your cat. He provides cat sitting services and in home visits. Contact us with more information about the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.

    ​
    All my life I’ve always had a soft spot in my heart for animals, but my true journey with them began in 2008 when I became a veterinary assistant at a hospital in Houston, Texas. One of my daily duties was to clean the cages in the cat room and feed the kitties that were either boarding with us or up for adoption. However there was one particular white and black cat named Abby who had a double heart on her side. One of the technicians rescued her off the streets of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. She found her with her litter of kittens hiding under a car. All of the kittens were adopted out and Abby became the hospital cat.  Everyday I would let her out of her cage and pet her, brush her and give her some TLC. She would show her appreciation by making biscuits on me while purring the entire time. Finally one day I asked if I could foster her which of course turned into me adopting her and from there the rest is history.  Abby is now living a lap of luxury with my mother in NJ.

    Picture
    After moving to NY to further my education, I went on to work in a few different hospitals and clinics where I met countless pet owners and had the opportunity to care for their beloved cat or dog. I have fostered a few kitties along the way and found loving homes for them. I will always treat your kitty like they are my own and I pride myself in being able to think quick on my feet when handling unforeseen circumstances that may arise. Whenever it’s time for me to visit with a furry loved one, I look at our time together as more of a bonding session than just someone there to feed them. All I want to do is make a positive memorable impact on your kitties life so that in return whenever you are away they have me to look forward to.

    Amber was recommended by someone in my Bed Stuy-Clinton Hill network, and she has been great. I worked so hard to find someone who would come to our house to clip my cats' nails and you wouldn't believe how hard it was. 

    It's a silly thing to traumatize the cats for by bringing them to the vet, and yet so few people do house calls anymore. Amber came on time and quickly dispatched of the task.  I don't need a regular cat sitter but if I needed one in a pinch I wouldn't hesitate to call her.“

    Hi there! My name is Sam, and I’m a 21 year old art student living in East Williamsburg. I’ll be going into my fourth year of illustration studies this fall, but will have plenty of time in between to care for cats when the need arises. 

    My parents brought a cat home from the local shelter when I was 4 years old. He was a little gray thing with bright eyes and a vibrant personality. I named him Demon (can’t say I remember my 4-year-old reasoning for that) and I have never been without a cat since. Through the years I’ve had the privilege of caring for many cats, each with their own individual quirks and needs. I’ve also cared for dogs, parrots, and fish! I love all animals and am eager to spend time with them, but I’ve maintained a special fondness for cats. I look forward to meeting many more cats through the course of working as a cat sitter, as well as their amazing owners.

    ​My name is Scarlett and I'm a writer, content creator and cat lover. I grew up with cats but as an adult never really considered getting my own until I began volunteering with Brooklyn Animal Action. While volunteering at my first adoption event I met two crooked-tail cats named Ash and Nova. This chance meeting inevitably led to a #fosterfail and the rest is history! 

    I have experience with cats of all ages and am comfortable giving them medicine, too. As a cat mom I know firsthand how hard it is to leave them at home and how a dedicated, clean, and loving cat sitter can make all the difference. I'm here to be that for you and can't wait to meet your cat!

    My name is Kim. I'm an interior designer that recently relocated my design studio in my two bedroom apartment. I recently created a new business "the curated home office" that is completely virtual.  Now I have time to be home and not running around or directing a design staff. Cats are the style queens and kings so I will have to ask them if the paint color is the right shade. 
    Picture
    My first cat appeared out of nowhere on the roof of my house, two weeks after my father and grandmother died suddenly. I realized at the tender age of 12 that cats were always going to be part of my life. They always find me. 

    ​Living in Tokyo a cat appeared in my window . I found Bee Bee, Chi Chi and the Boo

    under similar circumstances, abandoned and in need of a home . I also rescued a dog from a dumpster with cigarette burns . Her name was Pitunia (yes a tiny pit bull ) She was more like a cat than a dog living with two other felines. She lived to be 14 years so now you know I am not spring chicken. Like I said  they find me.

    My  Millie  cat , renamed Millie Vanili had a lot of health issues at 15.  I recently had to put her down during the height of the pandemic. It was traumatic .

    I am not ready to adopt another cat quite honestly and I miss them so dearly ... why not show that love to another's sweetie pie. I am the perfect aunt I always have gum and tissues in my bag and I always have catnip and toys in my house. ​

    If you're located on the Lower East Side or East Village, Kim will provide a perfect 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.

    I can’t even begin to express how amazing Kim was and how happy our kitty, Little Bits, was staying with her! We could tell from the second our zoom meeting with her started that she was going to be an amazing caretaker for our new family member. It’s obvious how much Kim loves kitties and how warm and fun she’d be as a sitter. She updated us on our little girl with pictures and videos and emails. It was really hard to leave our new addition in someone else’s home so soon after rescuing her, but Kim made it so easy and comforted us the whole time we were gone. I couldn’t imagine a better cat sitter exists out there!

    I am so lucky to have met Kim. 
    Kim is a very friendly lady, she is gentle and enthusiastic, and smiles all day. She took great care with my little boy cat I named Draco, more then I could have imagined. She cared for Draco like a mother to a son. She used to have experience with several cats and dogs, and she knows very well how to take care of a cat. She knows what cats like, what they need, what their behavior and emotions are like, and how to take care different kinds of them. 

    Half a year ago, I had to leave Draco along in New York City, and my heart broke, but thankfully, I found Kim. The first time I saw her home through the video, I felt like I can trust her—her room is very warm and clean, with wood floor, carpets; it all felt very peaceful. Her windows were well protected and it just felt like the best place for my cat to be. 

    In the last half year, she is just like what I felt and even better. Thanks to her, I was not that worried about Draco’s wellbeing (although I worried for him and missed him dearly). She treated Draco as a friend and family member. She combed Draco’s hair every day, and let Draco stay in his favorite spot on the carpet. She gave him premium wet food. Draco was getting sunshine and look out to the street every morning, sleeping with her at night. I realized that I hadn’t been treating him to the level that Kim was - I learned many good habits from her.  

    She also sent me Draco’s photos every week, which gave me the chance to see what he was up to and how he looked. In the video and photo, I could see Draco trusted and loved her. Under her care, when I got Draco half a year later, I found out he become more gentle and soft, kinder, leaner and stronger. 

    Draco is back in my arms right now, I hope Kim can find another little friend to keep company. And Hey! Believe me, she will be your best choice.
    ​
    I saw four families on Kitty in NY, met all of them, and have one experience with another lady two years ago. No one was as good as Kim. She has great experience, friendly, kind, and so caring. She will take very good care of your cat, because she is their friend and keeps them company.

    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.

    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!

    Shannon was awesome. We got pictures and an update every single day. She even took cute Christmas photos ("Meowy Catmas") which was a wonderful bonus. I would happily recommend her and Kitty in NY to anyone. Thanks so much for taking care of our cats, especially on somewhat short notice for the holidays.

    ​
    Hello, my name is Coleen and I’m a native New Yorker that always loved animals. My father was a dog trainer so I grew up with a large number of pets…7 dogs and 6 cats. Even though I grew up with dogs, I grew a special bond to cats due to their intelligence, unique personalities and special healing properties. I love spending time with cats and have over 30 years of experience when it comes to caring for them from the domestic house cat to the extremely talkative Siamese. My apartment is large with enough room for them to roam around and enough windows to sunbathe all day.

    ​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.  
    Picture
    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.

    In addition to basic food and litter refreshes, Mia administered thyroid medication to our kitty (who is not always the most cooperative). Mia was committed to finding the best approach to administer the meds to ensure our cat received her proper dosing. Mia was also very communicative throughout the week.

    Mia did a great job; she responded quickly and sent daily updates, which included what tasks for the cats she did that day, their behavior and several photos. My husband and I never felt so comfortable leaving our cats before but we were confident they were being well taken care of.

    Jessica is a cat mama to two very spoiled Devon Rex babies called Molly & Peach.  In fact, Jessica has been surrounded by cats since she was a little girl.  Her grandmother was a 'crazy cat lady' who raised Siamese, Sphinx, Devon Rex, Cornish Rex and American Short-hairs.  If her husband would allow it, Jess would have several more cats but unfortunately city life has limited her to only two. 

    An avid marathon runner, Jess completed her 15th marathon last fall and can usually be found clocking miles up the Hudson River.  She is a supporter and fundraiser for Tusk Trust, a charity that initiates and funds wildlife conservancy, community development and education projects in Africa.  Over the last three years, she has helped to raise over 50K for Tusk and ran the Safaricom Marathon as their US Ambassador in 2018.  Jess is also a co-founder of 41Wildcard, an online boutique of curated home & jewelry collections inspired by travel.  When not searching the globe for local artisans to partner with, she lives in Tribeca with her husband and two kitty babies.

    I love cats and I would love to kitty sit your cat. I grew up around many animals, a german shepherd, two cats, and geckos. I have a deep understanding of all animal’s needs. I've watched my sister’s cat growing since she was a kitten and now she's a big beautiful orange cat with a loving and cuddly personality who loves to show off. All cats have different personalities and need to be catered to differently. It's important to gain a cat's trust and let them come to you. 

    ​I grew up here in the city for most of my life, and all my friends have cats that I play with. I’m currently an art student. I love painting and sculpting. I also work at an art supply store.

    I have 7 years of cat care experience and 3 years of paid pet care experience. With that being said, I have also been around cats my whole life! My family has always had a cat around and I’ve found that they have brought me peace during many hard times. I recently had to leave my cat Furb home with my mother in Oregon after moving to New York and have found that I miss having a cat around, that’s why I was so excited when I discovered Kitty In NYC!

    I am currently a barista, and have been working in coffee for about two years now. I love my job because I am able to express myself creatively and make connections with people on a day to day basis. I also am a musician, I am a singer/songwriter and producer. When I am not at work I spend most of my free time working on my music.

    I have a deep love, respect and commitment to all creatures big and small. I consider myself a passionate animal activist and advocate. I was fortunate to have grown up with a wide variety of pets including dogs, cats, birds, hamsters and rabbits. I blissfully reside with two cats – a male and a female - both of whom were rescues.

    I was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY and lived in Manhattan most of my adult life until I got married seven years ago. I currently reside in Jersey City, NJ though I am typically in Manhattan Monday thru Friday.


    I began working in veterinary hospitals in the early 80’s while an undergraduate at NYU. I worked a total of ten years in veterinary hospitals in Manhattan both as head receptionist and eventually, hospital manager. 
    Over the course of my career in the field, I adopted many abandoned pets many of whom had special needs. I have been pet sitting for over 35 years and can administer insulin, sub-q fluids and oral antibiotics. I will make sure your beloved kitties are well taken care of in your absence ad you will receive daily updates including photos.

    I have always been a huge animal lover growing up with all sorts of pets between dogs, cats, birds, rabbits and even a duck! I currently now have two cats who I adore. One of my cats has asthma and requires special attention so I know how important it is to trust your animal caregiver to take care of your fur baby. I will make sure your cat(s) has all the special attention and affection they need while you are away and to make sure that you also are updated as frequently as you would like.

    I am a resident of Chelsea and have been in the neighborhood for about two years now and moved to NYC almost 4 years ago after moving from Chicago. I also work down in Fidi and look forward to serving the areas in between as well. I am very excited about the opportunity to take care of your pet and look forward to meeting 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!

    ​​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.

    ​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.

    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.
