Malik provides cat sitting services in Long Island City, Queens

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!

"There are many intelligent species in the universe. They are all owned by cats." Hello! My name is Malik and I am living in the LIC/Astoria area. I am the proud father of two spoiled rotten tuxedo cats, Sterling and Cooper (any Mad Men fans?!). What I admire so deeply about cats is their fierce individuality and dedication to their pursuits. Though sometimes it can take a while to earn a cat's trust, there is nothing more rewarding than being on the receiving end of that first boop. Cats in my care will receive a personal assistant, an advocate, a playmate, and a friend. My motto is simple: it's a cat's world, they're just letting us rent it. I have a flexible work-from-home schedule that leaves me with plenty of gaps during the week (and weekend) to come and spend some quality time with your precious feline.

If you are going away for a few days and need help with your cat/s, Malik could be your perfect match. He will visit cats located in LIC, you will receive updates after each visit. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s, we'll be glad to help you.

Being a Leo seems to lend itself to the unique connection I have with felines.I have had cats my entire life and they have been the loves of my life, so I enjoy taking care of them, as well as engaging in petting, pampering, and brushing my kitty clients, as they will allow. Preparing their meals and treats to satisfaction, as well as making sure they feel comfortable and cared for, is my number one priority. I am a freelance artist based in midtown Manhattan on the west side who works at home, but I am willing to travel and I have a very flexible schedule that can meet any Kitty In New York’s needs! A gallery of cats I have cared for is  available on request."
If you are looking for a cat sitter in Midtown, Debra could be your perfect match. She would come to your apartment while you're away and send you updates after every visit. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need. 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!

I’ve always been an animal lover. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a little girl. I’ve had a kitty of my own, Rio, for over 5 years now. Hanging out with pets is always fun for me. I think that cats are especially unique because they know how to relax and just take it easy while also enjoy having fun and playing sometimes.

In addition to cat sitting, I work as an academic sleep researcher. I study what factors are involved with sleeping well and how sleep is related to how our brains function. My research takes a lot of focus and attention to detail. I promise that I will pay attention to your cat’s needs with the same level of detail that I bring to my research!

David provides cat sitting services in Brooklyn

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.​
Picture
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).​

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!​

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 name is Caroline, and I am a lifelong cat lover! I grew up with multiple cats, have been a frequent cat sitter my whole life, and have been told I’m a cat whisperer to even the shyest of kitties. I am a New York City transplant who moved here from California, and I miss my family’s cats dearly (one 18-year-old, wise old man, who needs some special care and all the love in the world, and one playful and snuggly 8-year-old, who is still a little kitten in my heart)! I can’t have cats in my current apartment, but my work is freelance and flexible, which lets me reliably visit your furry friends in their home environment, where they are most comfortable. 

I love helping other cat owners feel at ease when they are going away for vacation, knowing their furry loved ones will be in loving, caring, and capable hands. I know firsthand how stressful it is to leave your dear kitties when you are going out of town, and how comforting it is to have a sitter you can trust who is very responsible, attentive to detail, and communicative while they are looking after your cats. I would be honored to be that person for you! I look forward to caring for and bonding with your cats, and keeping you updated on how they are doing. Every cat is different, so I look forward to getting to know your cat’s individual personality, and taking purrfect care of them!

Caroline will enjoy taking care of your beloved feline/s. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need, we will get back to you as soon as possible.

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 Sharisse, a tender- hearted, kind, passionate soul who has a soft spot for animals & children. While I love ALL animals, CATS are my FAVORITE. I've always had cats in my home as a child- and, has HAD one for Eleven years as an adult living in my pet friendly apartment. Sharing my space, my time, and my love was very rewarding. It was a Blessing to have had the pleasure of knowing first-hand the true beauty of an animal's unconditional & unwavering love. And, that's why for me cat boarding is perfect, because I get to experience all over again the joy of a loving animal in my care for a length of time. Any time with a cat is PRICELESS!

I am also a Licensed Family Day Care Provider. I have been caring for children since 1996- to this present time. And, as I have developed great rapports with children & their families, I hope to do the same with you! I am just a caregiver by nature. Whether I'm caring for children or animals, it is my true calling.

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!

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.

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!

​
Now that I’m retired I have the freedom to travel. When I’m gone it’s usually for weeks at a time and thus I am unable to have pets of my own. So it has been a great joy for me to work for KITTY in NY these past 5 1/2 years where I’ve had the pleasure for sitting for about three dozen different cats—each with their own unique personality. I have especially enjoyed getting to know the owners of several of my repeat clients.

Picture
No matter how shy at first, or how hostile, any of my kitties have been I’ve yet to meet one that doesn’t end up snuggling on the couch with me. I have compiled a voluminous photo album of all my furry visitors and hope to keep adding pages to it for many years to come.

If you’re looking for a cat sitter in or around Chelsea, Steve will  be delighted feed and play with your kitties while you are away. If you want someone who adores kitties and is also nurturing and respectful, please connect with Steve.

Great people we have met! - Tabish

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!

Tabish is a world traveler who has lived abroad and now resides in a charming one bedroom townhouse on the upper west side of Manhattan. 

Growing up in Kenya, I was surrounded by wildlife. One of my earliest memories as
a child of 4 or 5 years of age is watching a lion cub, the cutest thing I’d ever seen. I
wanted to take it home, but my dad said I could have a kitten instead that was just as cute and from the same family. The rest, as they say is my cat history.
I have worked in the humanitarian sector in Europe, Africa, and Asia, using my
fluency in English, Swahili, Punjabi and Urdu.

My other passion had always been for fashion. I studied towards a M.A at Central St Martins, London, which opened up opportunities to work with artisans in Kenya, Gambia and Nepal to create artisanal jewelry and textile collections. It also enhanced my inherent talent for fashion styling. My motto is, Wear Color Every Day.
Picture
Tabish provides both services: in-home boarding and cat sitting visits. If you decide to board your cat, your kitty will have plenty of room to roam and play in this book filled and antique furnished home. Tabish works from home, adores cats, and has cared for many. Tabish will enjoy visiting your cat/s in your apartment and will send an update after every visit.  She cherishes their affectionate nature and is looking forward to getting to know your darling!​

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

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 :)

Oscar went above & beyond a regular cat sitter - he sent beautiful photos and updates about how my cat was doing everyday while I was away. I didn't want to bother him by bombarding him with questions everyday, and yet he was happily giving me updates whether or not I asked. He showed genuine care and affection towards my cat and I couldn't have asked or entrusted anyone better while I was away. I would ask Oscar to catsit for me again in a heartbeat.

Oscar was amazing. He took great care of our cat (both in terms of feeding her and playing with her) and took beautiful photos of her too. We don’t need cat sitting often but we hope Oscar is available the next time we need help.

Oscar is just the best. Our cat Biscuit is not the friendliest cat in the world (to say the least), but she seemed to enjoy the time she spent with Oscar. And he sent us texts on a nightly basis along with the best photos anyone (including us) has ever taken of our cat. Oscar's extremely conscientious and we can't recommend him enough. We're so glad we found him.

Oscar took care of my cat for a little less than a week. I have zero complaints...everything went smoothly and Oscar followed all of my written instructions  (which weren't too intricate - fortunately, I don't have a high maintenance cat). He also took amazing photos of Asher in action during their daily playtime! I would definitely use them again and highly recommend others to as well!

Kitty in NY and our cat sitter Oscar are life-savers! Oscar cared for our cat as if it was his own, petting, playing, feeding and loving her every single day that we were out of town on vacation. What's more, he sent amazing pictures and status updates of our kitty each day!  Can't recommend him and the company highly enough - thank you Oscar and kitty in NY!!!

I immediately was drawn to how warm, genuine and all around nice Oscar was - everyone loved Oscar ! My cats loved Oscar ! My hubby loved Oscar ! Even my doorman loved Oscar ! Even almost a month later, when I told my doorman Oscar is coming back to watch the cats again - they were like: " Oh, yeah, Oscar, very nice guy."

Literally, he was so nice, that even my doormen remembered him from a month before! Additionally, he takes professional photographer like photos and sent us a bunch of pictures each time that were one of a kind !

Very professional and considerate. Email updates everyday with photo and video attachments. Not only took care of my cat but also cleaned the environment. 

I do feel that Oscar has the passion and love for cats and it reflected on his cat-sitting works. My cat is shy, not every caregiver got the chance to see or pet my cat but Oscar made it all, which took me by surprise. I guess my cat likes him!

Antoinette provides in-home boarding and cat sitting services in Midtown Manhattan, New York

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 am a writer who lives alone in a large studio apartment in midtown Manhattan. I had two wonderful cats – Bo Diddley and Roxy - here for 20 years. They both died of cancer in the same year and I was so heartbroken I didn’t ever want to have my own cat again. But when I took care of a girlfriend’s cat when she went on vacation, I realized how much I love having a little furry creature in my life, so I signed up with Kitty In NY.
Picture
Antoinette with one of her kitty guests
I love boarding and visiting cats and I adore taking photographs of them. My apartment, which is totally cat-proof, has a lot of old-fashioned quilts, desks, trunks and colorful objects that I use as backgrounds for pictures. I swear, cats know how good they look in my shots and they pose with very little persuading. I will care for your four-footed friend as if it were my own. I also have my Red Cross emergency pet medicine certification.
If you live in Midtown Manhattan Antoinette is the perfect option to take care of your cat/s while you're away. She can visit your cat in your apartment, cat sitting services, or you can bring your cat to her apartment where he/she will be the only pet until you come back. Our cat boarding service is perfect for mid-long term. Contact Kitty in NY with more details about the service you need.

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!!

Have always had a natural instant rapport with animals. Cats and dogs. A few years ago my job took in a stray kitten. As office person it fell on me to take care of it. That’s where I learned to bond with furry felines.
 
Cats in my care get loved and pampered. Comes with unlimited petting, hind quarter scratching and belly rubs (kitty permitting of course)  Their happiness is the goal. Haven’t missed yet 

​When caring for them in my home I set them up for their own special hiding places. Will keep your little buddy happy and safe until your return.

He provides in-home boarding services, your cat will be the only pet in his apartment or visit your cats in your own apartment.

Helen is a Kitty in NY veteran. Her first experience was with a sweet little guy who flew, with his owner, all the way from France to NYC.  Since his owner travels regularly Miu Miu has spent considerable time on many occasions in Helen’s care, and a love-fest has ensued.

Helen has gone on to have quite a few regulars and is charmed by their individual personalities. Helen lives in a one bedroom Gramercy Park neighborhood apartment (E. 23 St.)
If you are located downtown or midtown Manhattan, Helen would provide the best care for your feline friend. Contact us and send us more details about the service you need. Our in-home boarding service is best for mid/long term, you bring your cat to the caregiver's apartment where he/she will be the only pet. Your cat will enjoy the whole apartment. Our cat sitting visits are recommended for short periods of time. We look forward to helping you with your cat!

My boyfriend and I had Helen cat sit our two-year-old tabby siblings this summer when we went out of town for the weekend. I can't express how crazy we are about our cats -- they are our babies and we could never put a price on their well-being, safety, and happiness. In the past we've had family watch them, so we were nervous about having a cat sitter. Thankfully, a friend of mine recommended Helen and boy did we luck out.

Helen is incredible. She's very funny, kind, and warm, and knows just the right way to handle every type of cat personality. Our boy is a little piggy and tries to eat his sister's food, our girl hisses at strangers and hides. But she did everything right to make them as comfortable as possible. She sent sweet, detailed emails after her visits along with lots of photos that put us immediately at ease. She took care of feedings, litter, water changing, and cleanup, leaving everything immaculate.

We totally trusted her in our apartment and with our kitties. I can't say enough about Helen and am so relieved we found someone who can care for our cats when we need it. Very highly recommend!!

Helen is AMAZING! I couldn't be happier with her professionalism and help throughout the entire boarding process - my Napoleon, who can be timid with new people at first, warmed up to her immediately. She was also incredibly responsive and communicative while he was in her care, which helps put me at ease given this was my first time ever boarding him.

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.

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!

Hola!

My name is Johann and I am originally from Venezuela. I am glad I can be here to give care, love and attention to your cat. I have raised two cats during my lifetime and I have been cat sitting my close friends’ cats for the past few years.

I love the playful nature of cats and how they represent independence and freedom. I have always felt connected and related to cats. Felines in general are such magnificent species. 

I work as an audio engineer/music producer and one of my passions is writing comic books. My favorite places in NYC are the Public Library and Prospect Park. I also have a lot of experience in customer service. I pay close attention to details, I consider myself very punctual and organized.

I can’t wait to meet you and your gato!

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!

Erica is a tried and true New Yorker with a deep love for animals. With over 20 years of experience caring for pets of all shapes and sizes, cats are by far her favorites! She grew up in a household with cats (and dogs), likes to volunteer at animal shelters, and is a devoted foster mama to neonatal kittens whenever possible. :) She takes pride in being a self proclaimed "cat whisperer" and has never encountered a cat that she couldn't eventually encourage to come out of their shell.

As a fellow cat owner, Erica knows that it can be really challenging to find reliable and trustworthy petsitters. Cats are not simply our pets, but they are our family members! Erica will treat your kitty as if they were her own - in addition to basic needs, she makes sure to take the time to get to know your cats and their unique personalities, making sure to fulfill any other needs they may have - whether that be playing, cuddles, or just some alone time.

Picture
If you are located around Central Park North, Erica could be the perfect match to help you take care of your cats while you are away. You will receive updates after every visit. Send us more details about your cat/s and the service you need.

Erica was tremendous! She visited Herbie every day and didn’t pressure him to come out and spend time with her. She really understood his needs. She even left me a lovely card. She’s a wonderful Catsitter!​

Sierra provides sitting services in Bushwick, Brooklyn

11/16/2021

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!

Cat obsessed since birth! My name is Sierra, and I’m an animal lover, but I’m biased towards cats (they’re the best). I have cared for cats, dogs, hamsters, rats, lizards, fish, etc. (pretty much you name it) throughout my life, 

I have raised both cats and dogs from babies to adulthood, I also actively volunteered at NAT Cat shelter in San Diego before I moved to NY. 

I have two cats of my own, Indie (4 years) and Mary (2 years). I adopted Indie, my sassy fur ball of love at 2 years old, it was love at first meow, and I moved her with me to NYC from LA in 2018. Indie loves sleeping, cuddling, and yelling at her mom and sister. My second is my baby Mary, who I rescued as a kitten from a NYC shelter, Mary spends her days catching flies, playing fetch, sneaking into cabinets and antagonizing Indie. 

I live in Bushwick, where I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I spend nearly everyday with my little ones, but after some convincing they are willing to share their mom!  

Being around cats is second nature to me, I can confidently say I will be able to care for your cats effortlessly with love. 

My cats are my children and I can guarantee your cats will get the same treatment.  

It would be my pleasure to care for your kiddos while you're away!

If you are looking for a cat sitter to visit your beloved felines while you are away, Sierra could be the perfect match! Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need. We'll be glad to help you!

Beatrice provides cat sitting services on the West Side of Manhattan, from W42nd Street to West 120th Street

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.

Beatrice was very communicative and we appreciated the daily updates. She took great care of our cats, playing with them and giving them lots of pets, and left everything very clean. Even our cat that is normally very afraid of new people seemed to like her very much. We will definitely be booking with Beatrice again.

Beatrice is caring and meticulous. She always visited the cats and updated me on time. In times of little accidents caused by the cats, Beatrice was able to respond adaptively, efficiently and effectively. She also worked with the notes I left her in mind. I am very satisfied with Beatrice's service.

Danielle and Marshall provide cat sitting visits in Brooklyn an the FiDi, New York

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!

Danielle and Marshall have been working with us since 2016. They will enjoy visiting your cat/s in your apartment. You will receive photo updates after every visit to let you know how your feline friend/s are doing.
Danielle: In my life I have owned 3 cats (2 at a time). One of my cats was diabetic, so I have experience with giving insulin shots and caring for cats with special medical needs. I live with my boyfriend, who has also owned cats in the past.
​I am a doctor podiatrist, I have experience with giving injections, pills and IVs in humans, and injections in cats.


​Marshall: I am a financial editor living in Boerum Hill, working in the FiDi. I live with my wonderful girlfriend, Danielle, who introduced me to the Kitty in NY service when she asked if I wanted to board cats in our apartment. Being a cat lover I immediately agreed, and we’ve hosted many excellent kitty guests since. Expanding into the caregiving role simply increases the opportunities I have to make more feline friends. I grew up in rural upstate NY and had many different pets growing up: dogs, cats, chickens, horses and once a very irritable goat. Cats have always been my favorite, as they are by far the most interesting (sometimes maddening). I am experienced in handling the diverse personalities of cats and can recognize when your cat wants to play and when they just want me to leave them alone. I enjoy sending fun updates to my client’s owners and will, if allowed, inundate you with pics of your pets being thoroughly spoiled while you’re away.
If you live in northern Brooklyn or in the FiDi, Danielle and Marshall could be available to visit your cat/s in your apartment until you return. Our cat sitting service makes it easy to leave the city for a few days. You will receive updates after each visit. Contact us and send more details about your cats and the service you need.

Danielle and Marshall were great cat sitters, we really appreciated how they texted us after every visit with an update and lots of pictures, and seemed to genuinely care about Stan. Thank you so much!

Gabrielle - survey

Marshall and Danielle were very attentive to Norman. I was a little worried because we moved just a few days before his stay so I hoped he’d easily transition. They gave us many updates with pictures and Marshall worked from home the first day to help Norman get situated. He was a little timid at first but he eventually got very comfortable with them, I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home! Now that he’s home he seems to be well adjusted to home life which can only come from being 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!

When I was 12 years old I learned the meaning of unconditional love when we welcomed my dog "Alex" into our family, who was my best friend in the world for 11 wonderful years! Until I met my husband 15 years ago, I hadn't really spent much time with felines but he introduced me to his cats "Brandy" & "Alexander". I fell in love with both of them & their silly quirks & sweet purrs! When we moved in together, my husband surprised me with a ginger kitten we named "Hunter", who loved zucchini bread & tortilla chips & would always express his opinion about everything, he truly made our house a home! We rescued our sweet & cuddly "Asher"a year later & had true bliss in our home for a time with 2 wonderful loving cats. When our Hunter crossed the rainbow bridge, Asher took it especially hard which lead us to rescuing our amazing black cat "Wally" from the streets of Jersey City in 2015. Wally is extremely shy & skittish & has taken lots of encouragement & patience to earn his trust, but how rewarding it has been! Wally also suffers from asthma, which requires continued vigilance & medical attention.

My experience with my own cats helps me to understand the qualities that are important in a cat sitter. I am certified in canine & feline CPR & first aid. I have 10 years experience as a Registered Nurse, & I am well trained in punctuality & critically thinking through any challenging situation.  In my visits to your home, I will take great care of your cats while you are away so you don't have to worry!

Couldn’t ask for a better experience. Complete in her visit with a thorough update, videos, and photos upon each visit. She always stayed at least the requested time and sometimes more when she came a little early. My wife and I really felt at ease with Laura watching over our little guy Parker. Plus, she takes better photos than we’ve ever been able to so those were a lot of fun to see and keep! Huge thanks to Laura!!

First of all, I want to express how happy I am with Laura. During the days I was away she visited Henry once a day and sent me a nice report with photos and videos of my baby Henry, which I loved to see every day. She is a really cat person who took good care of Henry while I was away and I will definitely recommend your agency if someone I know needs your services in the future. It was the first time that I had someone I don’t know in my apt but I felt really comfortable with Laura. She was really great!!!

My wife and I live on the UES and had to leave our cat, Dexter, for a three day long weekend. Without getting into the weeds with details, our cat had recently injured himself and we were extremely hesitant to leave him and almost cancelled our trip. By some miracle, we were connected with Laura - she was BEYOND helpful and we had total confidence in her as both an incredibly caring person and a professional. It’s rare to find someone like Laura that so obviously loves what she is doing. I’m recommending her to all my friends in the building and would unequivocally recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter.

Peter provides cat sitting services in Williamsburg & Bedstuy

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’m a lifelong cat lover, and have always had a connection with animals. My family had a dog & later on, several cats which were always my favorites. I’m the guy that always has an eye out for strays or injured animals. It breaks my heart to see animals in distress. I even repost and share Craigslist emergency animal adoptions when I see them. 

As an adult I’ve lived with several cats that I co-cared for, with roommates. More recently, my wife & I adopted two beautiful cats, one with almost 30k followers on IG - @mingusthefluff

I’m also a freelance photographer, and taking cute cat pictures is a favorite hobby of mine.

Integrity is important to me, so if I’m hired to care for a cat, you can be sure all protocols will be followed & the cat will get as much loving attention from me as possible.

If you live in Williamsburg, book Peter today for your next trip out of the city. Contact us and give us more details about your cats and the service you need. We'll be glad to help you with your cats!
