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!

​We are Sara and Mithat, a cat lover couple based in Williamsburg who are willing to lovingly dedicate their time to your cat friend. 

Sara inherited her cat's love from her mother, a cat lady who raised her surrounded by feline friends. When she moved to NYC, she could not bring her cat with her which is why she decided to get her cat love intake by volunteering at the Brooklyn Cat Cafe' where she gets to help, play and cuddle the kitties in need. 

We are available for home boarding in Williamsburg as well as home visits in Brooklyn and Lower Manhattan. 

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!

Amanda was very attentive to the needs of my senior cats. She sent thorough updates everyday and pictures/videos. I came home to a clean apartment and two happy cats. I fully trust her with my cats for my next vacation, and will use Kitty in NYC for all my future cat sitting needs.

​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!

​

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.

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.

“I have been using Amber for several years & my cats love her. She even took care of a health issue while I was away with great success. Currently, she has been good at 
keeping my cats on their different foods ( one is on renal food) - when they are intent on switching bowls! I love her.“

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.“

​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!

I’m Murphy, a 27 year old Midtown East resident. I moved to New York after graduating college in Ireland. 
 
I work from home making little bumblebee wish bracelets and selling them to raise awareness for saving the bees! I usually spend my free time volunteering for the Honeybee Conservancy of NY and spend some mornings at a dog daycare, but cats are my absolute favorite. 

Having always had cats growing up, I've helped my family foster kittens until they were ready to be adopted and have plenty of experience with neonatal kittens too.  

I would love to have some kitty-companionship whenever I’m homesick for Ireland :) 

If you live in Midtown East, Murphy will be glad to help you with your kitty. She provides in-home boarding.  Contact us with more information about the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.

​Hi, my name is Zu. I was raised 20 minutes from the capital of Poland, Warsaw, on the verge of a national park. We always had at least 3-5 cats and 3 dogs at home. The whole family would also take care of a colony of stray cats that would live next to our house. As a kid, I would always help feed them, clean up after them, and of course, play with them. Spending time with the colony was my favorite thing to do as a kid.

I moved to NYC almost 8 years ago to work in the fashion industry during which time I also became really passionate about psychology.  
​
I loved cats since I was a little kid and always spend a lot of time around them. Now I have one cat living with me, a ginger girl my friend found in LES as a kitten almost 3 years ago. I also take care of a colony of around 10-15 stray cats on my street. I just feel happy caring about them with my neighbor, John and trying to find them homes. I live in Williamsburg and I enjoy yoga, meditation, pilates, biking along the East River and at McCaren park. I would love to take care of your cat when you are away for a weekend or more extended vacations and holidays.

​Hi! My name is Nicole. NYC has been my first ever experience living without an animal in my home, so I've filled that void with cat sitting!

Communication, attention to detail, and enthusiasm are at the top of my priority list when spending time with your fur babies.

By day I am a mechanical engineer in the private sector, and by night I am a horror tv/movie/book enthusiast. Love cooking and entertaining family and friends at home during the winter months and planning beach days in the summer. Look forward to getting to know as well as meeting you and your kitty soon!

​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.

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.

​​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!

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!
