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 currently work in fashion wholesale sales and am an avid animal lover. I have always thought about cat sitting as I have a deep love for cats and their well-being. I have had cats since I was a child and all throughout my life. My family always rescued cats, specifically black cats as those were the ones that had the hardest time finding homes. I have had 5 cats with my family over my life and considered them my best friends/siblings. We raised them till they were elderly and lived long, full, happy, and loving lives. I do not have my own cat at the moment, but would love the opportunity to care for someone else's cat while they are out of town. It is a win-win situation as I would treat the cats as if they are my own and in turn, get to spend quality time with them, which is a dream. I wish I got to spend more time with animals as I am a true animal lover and want the best for them. My family conditioned me that the animals always came first as they cannot care for themselves. That would mean cleaning the litter multiple times a day, finding their favorite foods (as cats often change their mind and are very picky), playing with them, brushing them, and cuddling (that is my favorite part). I hope one day I can have a cat of my own, but for now I would love to be able to spend time with cats through cat sitting and take care of them that way. Cat sitting visits are perfect for your short term trips and holidays. If you live in Murray Hill, Samantha could be available to help you with your cat/s. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you are looking for.

When we had dropped her off with Roland, he sent pictures of her settling down and making her way around in his home - hiding, coming out and exploring, eating food, using her litter box. The pictures made us relieved that she was doing ok. Roland also made sure he sent regulars updates/ pictures. He also allowed our cat to treat his home like her own home. Additionally, Roland was very flexible with us regarding the pick up and drop off time. Our return flight was delayed by 2 hours and Roland was flexible with the pick up time being delayed by us.

I even accidentally locked her out, and she informed me immediately and worked with me to get access to my apartment so that she could take care of Oliver (oops!). I told Marie that she didn't need to scoop the litter daily really, but Marie did because she clearly cared about how Oliver was doing! She sent me very cute videos and clearly took care of my old guy. And she even brought up the dry cleaning the doorman handed her (!! definitely not intended). Couldn't recommend Marie more, she's fantastic :) We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers.

Since I was a kid, I raised all sorts of animals from ferrets to iguanas to chinchillas. I’ve had the pleasure of working at an animal hospital in Bayside, an adult care facility in Park Slope and currently teach part-time at a school in Kew Gardens, Queens. It is one of my callings in life to care for the unspoken souls of this world, be it critters, children or the elderly. When I’m not trying to save the world, I’m usually playing/listening to music, studying astrology or attempting to write the next great screenplay. If you reside in Queens, especially the Hillside/Briarwood/Jamaica area, I’m your guy!

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. Laura provides cat sitting visits in the Upper East Side and East Harlem. Laura is the perfect option. Cat sitting is a great option for short term services or a very shy cat. She will take care of you cat/s until you return.

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.

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 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.

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. 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.

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! Greetings from Greenwich Village. My name is Morgan and {other than existing as an around the clock cat-lover} I wear several artistic hats including songwriting, film-making, poetic prose writing, violin, piano, guitar, singing and stage performing. I've professionally cared for cats of all personalities and ages for the last several years in NYC and I can honestly say I'm always ready to get to know another cat. The most rewarding part of being with cats is building trust and seeing them enjoy the moment in their own preferred way, whether it's through playing with a toy, watching birds, eating a treat, receiving affection or just curling up to nap. If I get to visit with your cat or board them at my place they will probably be sung to and definitely adored. I take joy in keeping a clean apartment and am comfortable administering medication as needed. With grace! "Time Spent With Cats Is Never Wasted" - Sigmund Freud If you are located in the Village or the LES, Morgan might be available to help you with your cat. Our boarding service is recommended for longer services or very social cats. Cat sitting visits work best for short term (long weekends or holidays), a caregiver will visit your cat in your apartment.

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! Three 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 François and I am a human of many talents. I am originally from NYC. I'm a Prep for Prep, Sacred Heart ('12), Wesleyan ('16), and AmeriCorps/City Year ('17, '18) alumna. I've lived in Miami (and briefly in Maryland) for the past 2 years. I came back to the Big Apple at the end of 2018 (for those keeping track: since moving back to NYC, Tootsie is currently living with my cousin and I visit her every other weekend). In addition to loving up on and caring for cats, a large portion of my time goes towards building my healing & coaching business, where I work to create spaces for folx to explore & better understand themselves, their feelings, and their purpose. When I'm not doing that, you can catch me cleaning/KonMari-ing people's homes, reading something about consciousness, drawing in my notebook, or working on any one of my numerous passion projects! If you are looking for a reliable caregiver in or around Crown Heights, Brooklyn, Gari might be available. Cat sitting visits are the best solution for your short term needs (weekends, holidays, short business trips). You will receive updates after every visit.

Interactive play time is a very powerful tool to build a strong bond with your cat. It is great for trust-building, exercise, release of energy, avoid cat boredom and depression. A cat who receives a daily dose of play time is a happier cat. Don't overlook the importance of activity, it can avoid many behavior issues. A key ingredient in interactive activity with your cat is YOU. You may have a variety of cat toys in your apartment but they are dead toys without you. The concept behind any cat toy is to allow your cat to act like the hunter she was born to be. When you move a fishing pole type toy as a prey, the target at the end of the string will slide, dart, creep around the room, waking your cat's hunting instinct. How you move the toy is important. Don't move it too fast or right in front of her face. That's not how felines hunt in the wild. They stalk their preys. Move the toy slowly across her visual filed. Cats cannot run for long periods of time, you should make her run but allow her time to catch her breath. You should always let her catch her prey at least once per session. The game needs to be fun for the cat, not a frustrating experience. End the game slowling down the speed of the toy and letting her play with the "dead" prey for a minute. You should have a play session every day. It doesn't need to be long, once or twice a day for 15 minutes will do. The benefits are much greater than the time you invest. Your cat will be a healtheir/happier feline. Those sessions develop her confidence, increase trust and relieve stress. In between games, you should always store interactive toys. Do not leave them out. You want it to be special and most imporant, you don't want your cat to chew on worn out parts that could be dangerous if swallowed. There are some "solo" toys your cat might enjoy on his own (mice, puzzle feeders, those that are safe when you're not around). Cats are low maintenance pets but neglecting playtime and attention to your cat can result in obesity and other behavior or health issues.

____________________________________________________ REVIEWS Depy - by survey 07/21/2023 * * * * * Patricia was an amazing cat sitter. She was considerate and timely with her updates and easily dealt with issues that came up in accessing our apartment. The kitties were happy and comfortable with her based on the updates we saw, plus they looked healthy and happy when we came back. She went above and beyond with cleaning up cat litter the cats dragged around the living room and the cardboard they ripped up. She was incredibly sweet, both the cats and us loved working 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! My name is Carolina, and I’m from Colombia. I am passionate about cats, and this love for felines awakened in me when I adopted my kittens Lupita and Lulu. Since then, I have learned to understand the language of cats, interpreting their signals when they want to play, are hungry, or not feeling well. I have a sensitive and loving relationship with cats, and I greatly enjoy spending time with them as they provide me with fun and enriching moments in my life. Aside from my love for cats, I also have other interests. I enjoy reading, and I have recently developed a new passion for cycling, which allows me to explore the outdoors and experience nature. Finally, I hope that I can share some enjoyable moments with your lovely pet. Cat sitting visits is the perfect solution for your short trips. If you are located in the UES, Carolina might be available to help you with your cats. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.
____________________________________________________ REVIEWS Mary - by survey 07/15/2023 * * * * * Carolina was lovely in person and faithfully sent me videos of her caring for and playing with my 2 cats. They are very energetic and she made a great effort! I could tell she was very sweet with them, and they took her. She was creative in finding different amusements for them. Also, above and beyond, she was extremely patient and helpful when one of my cats acted out by using the rug instead of the litter! I couldn’t have had a better experience and will certainly recommend Kitty in NY. Meng - by survey 06/30/2023 * * * * * Carolina was phenomenal. From the very first text message we exchanged, she was prompt and clear in communicating. She was attentive to the things about my cat that I brought up. While my family was traveling, she sent texts and multiple videos of her sessions with my cat after each visit. I was blown away by her attentiveness; she even brought her own set of cat toys to supplement play time and spent a lot of time at each session! She clearly and genuinely loves cats. I can't recommend Carolina enough. Alexandre - by survey 06/23/2023 * * * * * Carolina was great! She took good care of our cat and sent us lots of videos. |
