​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.

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.  

Jessica is a kind and caring person who is also an experienced cat sitter. She will come to your home to care for your cat while you are away. Jessica will customize a care plan for your cat & provide daily updates with photos so you can enjoy your trip knowing your cat is well cared for. If you live in downtown Manhattan, book Jessica today for your next trip out of the city.

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 been spending time around cats my whole life. First, a Siamese cat named Humphrey, then two named Hugo and Bella. I have grown up with cats, and absolutely love spending time with them! I have been petsitting since I was about 10, when I posted flyers around my neighborhood offering my services each summer. These days, I don’t get to spend so much time around animals, as I am a college student and haven’t had the opportunity. I have fostered several cats, one of which was very sick who I successfully nursed back to health through administering medication and syringe-feeding food and water. I find that looking after animals is so rewarding, and have a deep appreciation and love for all animals.

I am currently a student at NYU’s Gallatin School of Individualized Study studying Film Criticism through a Feminist Lens. It is my final semester, so I have lots of free time to spend looking after kitties! I live in DUMBO, and a, happy to serve the surrounding areas such as Brooklyn Heights and Vinegar Hill. I look forward to meeting your pets!

Growing up, I’ve always had a cat in the family. Rosie, Luna, Goby, Louie, Otis, Marco, and Frida. Rosie and Luna were sibling kittens with very different personalities. Rosie liked to hide around the house and meow when she wanted to be found. Luna was a small ball of fluff, always curled and purring on someone’s lap. We adopted Goby a couple years later - the calmest cat I’ve ever met. He traveled with us from California to North Carolina. Goby loved to hunt in our new backyard. Louie, a quiet yet fierce black cat with vibrant green eyes and white paws, joined the family when we found him basking in the sunlight on our front porch, day after day. An outdoor cat from the start, we let him come and go as he pleased. Otis was a scruffy orange cat who loved adventure, being a goofball, and cuddling. Marco and Frida are still alive and well, living in my mother’s home back in North Carolina. 

I am a visual artist and musician, creating projects that utilize my technical abilities with drawing and painting, composing, recording, and producing music. My goal is to gain in-state residency after a year, and attend a CUNY school for a music technology degree for free tuition. 

My schedule is very flexible, and I am so excited to be your caregiver!

​​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’m a true cat lover. When I grew up, my family always had cats in the house. At one point, we had a male and two females and both had litters at the same time, so for a while there were 12 cats in the house! One of those kittens joined the family and lived to be over 20 years old! 

I am a painter, puppet maker, and union film and stage performer. I’m also a licensed NYC tour guide. I worked on boats giving whale watch tours off the coast of New England for five years as the onboard narrator/naturalist. Lately I have been doing film writing, so I am frequently at home. I have lived in the same apartment in the East Village for nearly 40 years. My old cat passed a few years ago, and I began taking care of cats with Kitty in NY. I have a regular cat boarder who stays with me every month, and a few regular cats that I visit. I am caring and responsible, and will enjoy spending time with, and getting to know your cat. After each visit, I always send a text or email with photos and a full report. You can be confident that your cat will get full attention and care!

​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 :)

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!

Karina is a dancer and life long cat lover. She lives in a studio apartment located on W. 71st. She has always been surrounded by pets and will love taking care of yours now that she doesn't have any cats of her own.

I love the arts and am involved in the dance world. I enjoy the theatre, love going to performances and love music. I live on the UWS.  I grew up with a parent who wasn't allowed to have pets growing up which meant, I was a great benefactor of a situation in which I grew up with a lot of pets. Many rescues....I remember as a child spending a lot of time taking care of a wide variety of animals. horses, dogs, cats, a few fish, a goat, a family of hamsters, finches and parakeets. I learned so much about people as well as them.  I have a lot of love to give and I'm great with pets...I love taking care of cats now.
