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 :)

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 is amazing! She sent me photos/ videos everyday. She was communicative and I could tell the kitties were well loved while we were gone. It puts my mind at ease to know if we need to go out of town for any reason our kitties will be well taken care of if not by Erika by someone else from this amazing service! Thank you!!

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.

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.

Toni was amazing. Had something fall through with our previous cat caretaker and called Kitty in NY and was connected with Toni. She took us in very last minute and took the best care of our kitten Parker. She sent tons of photos and had a lot of fun with him over the weekend. It's very very obvious that Toni adores cats and animals in general and is very knowledgeable about their care. She had the nicest things to say about him. Parker is a slippery one who gets everywhere and has no idea what danger is, so making sure he's safe and happy is very important to us. With Toni, I had not a worry in the world. Will definitely book again with her!!

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 been an animal lover and done a great deal of cat- dog- and horse-sitting during my life.  I recently lost my own beloved kitty (winter 2015) and miss feline company.  Thought it would be lovely to welcome your cat into my home and give him or her all my affection until one day when I feel ready to adopt another pal.  I am used to care for cats of different temperaments and ages, and enjoy the process of gently exploring their individual needs and preferences.  If this involves rearranging a few things in my home to accommodate a kitty’s choices, I am happy to do so. 
I live alone in a clean and quiet small studio apartment on the boarder between Chelsea and the Village.  It has lots of light and places for a cat to lounge.  I work as an equine photographer and do all the editing at home, so your cat would have plenty of company and play time.  Hope to make their acquaintance soon.

If you live in Chelsea, Pia would be the perfect choice to take care of your cat. She will devote all the time and love your kitty needs. Contact Kitty in NY and tell us more about the service you need. We provide in-home boarding and cat sitting solutions. We'll be glad to help you.

Pia was absolutely wonderful at watching my silly old cat. Oliver doesn’t get much attention at home, and it’s clear that he received a ton of attention with Pia! He also requires medication daily and has been very particular about his food. Pia was great at updating me with which brands he was actually eating and if he had taken his medication. Beyond that, Pia sent the cutest videos of Oliver enjoying his time with her. Can’t thank her enough for clearly providing Oliver with care, attention, and love.

David has been a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, having raised both cats and
dogs since his early childhood. He is, by profession, an IT Specialist, but he began,
over the past few years, scaling back and working from home, which afforded him
the opportunity to make cat-sitting a primary focus. When asked about his general
philosophy, David says:
​
Hi, my name is David! I have been a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, having raised both cats and dogs since early childhood. I am, by profession, an IT Specialist, but began, over the past few years, scaling back and working from home, which afforded me the opportunity to make cat-sitting a major focus.

If asked about my general philosophy, I would say because many people view cats as being such self-sufficient creatures, it’s easy for them to take for granted the notion that they are just fine when left alone. Being so familiar with them, and having spent as much time as I have taking care of other people's cats over the years, I realize how untrue this is. It is important for the cats, as well as their humans to have someone there--not just to feed them & clean their litter boxes, but to provide a consistent level of companionship and stress-relieving stimulation, if even only for a brief amount of time every day. This is something that I feel is essential for a pet owner, and it is work that brings me great joy.​

I was born and raised in Brooklyn where I was surrounded by my family’s cats and dogs until I went away to Stony Brook University for my undergraduate education. It was then that I experienced the sorrow of losing a pet for the first time when my American Wirehair mix, Cookie passed away while I was away at school. I credit this experience, in part, with helping to shape the empathy with which I approach the care of another person’s cat(s)--particularly those with health concerns or of advanced age. Treating your cat(s) with the care and affection that I would my own beloved pet is my guiding principle and reflects the baseline standard of care that I provide.

I am fully vaccinated/boosted against COVID-19, and will wear a mask during visits. I am available in the following New York City areas: Bed-Stuy (Bedford-Stuyvesant), Fort Greene, Clinton Hills, Park Slope, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, DUMBO, Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Kensington and Long Island City (LIC).​

​If you need Cat Sitting service in Brooklyn, contact us with more details. We’ll be glad to help you!

David gave us the gift of peace of mind while we were out of town. I had a lot of anxiety about leaving our cats because of a previous incident with a cat sitter, but David put my mind at total ease. He has such a calming demeanor that I know our cats picked up on and appreciated. I could tell he was very knowledgeable about cats and has a genuine love for them. That makes all the difference for me. Because one of our cats takes medicine daily, we had very specific instructions for their care, and David not only rose to the occasion, he went above and beyond. He asked great questions when he came for the first home visit and sent many daily photos with details on how our cats were doing while we were away. I cannot tell you how much I appreciated all of this. I will definitely be booking with David again. Thank you!​

Tiger is a little bit more high maintenance than most cats since she's 18 years old and has some litter box issues, so I was worried about finding a caregiver that would accommodate her for the month I was gone. Sophie was very patient and sweet, she knew a lot about caring for senior cats and I was very comfortable leaving Tiger with her while I was away! Tiger warmed up to her immediately (she showed Sophie her belly!), and I could tell that she felt very at ease in Sophie's home. I recommend Sophie to anyone who needs cat sitter services and would happily use her again!

Merci pour pour la semaine -
Shadow is behaving very well as is very calm following the week at Sophie's place!
A very detailed - zero pb drop out / pick up cat and accessories/litter box
Clearly cat was well taken care of.

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 had my first kitty in college and my second while living in San Francisco. Returning to New York, I lived for years in a building where I could not have any pets. So when I moved to my current location, in Manhattan's East Village, I made up for lost time. That was way, way back in 1992. I contacted an animal rescue agency named BeingKind. (That was the precursor to KittyKind in Petco.) Soon I took in a family of six abandoned cats from BeingKind. I included an old scratched photo, taken before the days of cell phones and similar devices. The momma and poppa cats were about a year and a half old. Teenagers in Love I called them. The four kittens were six weeks old and just learning to walk. They were about the size of my hand (not counting the tails). I eventually adopted out two kitties and kept four felines to myself.

They all lived exceedingly long lives, so I must have been doing something right. The momma cat lived to 18 years of age, the poppa and one daughter both lived to 19, and the final daughter lived very close to 21 (about 20 years and 9 months).

After the family went to Kittie Heaven, I took a break from being a caretaker. That ended in about nine months. One night I went dancing at Barefoot Boogie (highly recommended) and met someone who worked for Kitty in New York. That marked the beginning of the next phase of my love for felines, as I soon became an Official Kitty Caregiver.

I can now offer lots of love, a spacious one bedroom apartment, and decades of experience for my feline friends. I am able to give injections, pills, subcutaneous fluids, and blood glucose monitoring for cats with medical needs.

I am now partly retired but work about 20 hours a week as a psychotherapist. This allows me the luxury to spend lots of time with my four-legged friends. As you might guess, I love to write so I enjoy sending frequent emails or texts plus loads of photos to cat owners. This allows the owners to enjoy their vacations or business trips, knowing that their kitties are happy and doing well.

I booked with Phil the second time in two years and I am always amazed how much of a "cat whisperer" he is. You can tell the cats are calm around him. He took care of all three of mine this time around and I particularly appreciated the loving care he gave to my eldest who needs regular medication. In addition Phil was extremely reliable with his email and photo communication. He also was dependable in terms of pick up and drop off arrangements and very helpful in both directions. I felt confident knowing my cats were in good hands!

Phil was great! It was clear he had lots of experience with cats and that my cat was very happy when I was away for a week. He sent email updates with pictures and cute stories about what my cat was up to, and he was very attentive.

Phil was fantastic. Very kind, I could feel right away that he loves cat and is able to create a good and calm environment for them to feel at ease. The minute we dropped our cat at Phil's apartment, she felt secured and not stressed and the stay went very smoothly. Phil did great at sending us pictures and updates every few days, so we knew everything was going well. Thank you!

Phil was very pleasant and kind to my cat Momo upon meeting him. He sent in-depth emails of Momo's daily life while I was away, along with photos, which eased my mind about uprooting my kitty. As a seasoned cat sitter he had scratchers and toys available, and didn't mind my young cat's curious, and sometimes frenetic, demeanor. I was very glad for Momo to have companionship while I was gone. This is my second time using Kitty In NY, and although I was paired with a different sitter each time, both experiences have been positive. The office staff is also very professional, prompt, and easy to communicate with. They helped me right away even though my planning was relatively short notice.

Phil was a wonderful caregiver to our elderly cat. He was kind and loving and very attentive to our kitty’s very picky demands, and kept us informed about how things were going with funny emails and photos. Any kitty would be lucky to have a stay in Phil’s kitty hotel.

Phil took care of my cat Miumiu who has a chronic illness and requires medication + visits to the vet. He was extraordinary with him and took excellent care of my cat. I suspect my cat wanted to stay longer at Phil’s actually!!! Ahah. Phil has a kind heart and is a loving and humorous kitty caregiver. He sent us regular news via lovely emails + pictures of Miumiu. I really recommend Phil as a caregiver!

Phil was an excellent, reliable cat-caregiver from the beginning to the end of this entire process. The drop-off and pickup went smoothly and during the weeks I was away on vacation, Phil stayed in touch with plenty of great information about how my two cats were doing at his place, as well as pictures. During the course of the time my cats were with him, he encountered some problems with his Verizon service, and I was impressed that he called me by phone right away to let me know so that we could work around it. Phil was able to give one of my cats the medicine he needed as well. Now that they are back home, it seems that they are even more at ease than before visiting with Phil. Highly recommend!

​Phil was amazing! I'm so happy to have had him look after Del. It was very obvious he adored kitties, and was so caring and loving to Del. He looked after him incredibly well, was very easy going, and always updating with funny, entertaining stories of his time with him. Phil even went out of his way to help me with the purchase of a pet travel crate, and assembled it while I was gone, so that Del could get used to it before his travels. Phil followed all the instructions and had no trouble at all with adapting to Del's special needs like cleaning his ears and having warmer spaces for him to curl up into (as he's a Sphynx cat and gets chilly). All to say, I would recommend him highly to anyone!

Phil was amazing! I like him better than a previous sitter I used with KittyInNY. The moment I walked in to see Blue you can tell he had a great time and felt extremely comfortable. Phil also seemed to be very loving and affection. He would send daily emails and pictures. All in all, I was very pleased with his service.

Phil was extremely welcoming to our cat and played with him. He gave very detailed and humorous updates by e-mail. He also went out of his way to help us when we encountered some difficulties with our return flight. Our cat returned in a very good mood, no doubt thanks to enjoying his stay with Phil.

Phil regularly wrote really lovely messages about Blueberry and what she was up to. His pictures were great and overall his communications were thorough, clear, and kind. He cares a great deal about cats and I trusted that Blueberry was in good hands while I was away.

Deli stayed with him for almost 3 months and I got updates on him, with pictures, pretty much every week. Anytime his food would be close to over, we were able to organize so that the website Chewy would deliver more. Deli seemed to love his stay, and reluctantly got into his carrier when we left. I would definitely recommend Phil to care for cats as he is very dedicated, caring, and keeps me updated with anything, plus pictures!

Phil was very responsive to any emails I sent him and was extremely attentive with his updates. He sent photos regularly along with great stories of how the kitties were doing. I got a sense that he truly cares for felines. Just after the first few interactions with him, I was immediately at ease, as I knew my fur babies were in caring hands.

Phil was so thorough with his emails detailing the status of our kitties while we were away. He’d send cute photos with his emails too. He also made sure he had all of the feeding times exactly correct. He was very pleasant and kind to work with and clearly loved taking care of our boys. I would definitely recommend him to others! We would use him again too.

Sharisse took amazing care of our cats while we were away. She sent us detailed updates after every visit with wonderful photos. She followed our instructions perfectly, showed up for every visit even during bad weather and was also kind, courteous and respectful towards us and our building staff. She gave us the ability to really enjoy our vacation because we knew she was giving the best love and care to our cats. We will definitely be booking Sharisse again for our future trips.

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.

Sharisse was excellent! She went above and beyond to make my cat feel at home. In fact, my cat did not want to come home after staying with her!  She made sure to send regular updates with cute pictures to let me know how my cat was doing
I feel at ease going away knowing my cat will be well taken care of and spoiled with love and affection. I highly recommend her!
