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 it comes the feline species, I am a natural! I love cats and have a relaxed, and perhaps intuitive, relationship with them. I've adopted many cats over the years, the most difficult of which was inherited when I moved into a friend's vacated apartment. The cat wouldn't come near me nor anyone, as it had been abused. It stayed in the backyard and I had to put its food on the stoop outside. Any attempt to pet or go near it meant hissing and scratching. I slowly nurtured it and within 3 months, this cat was sleeping peacefully on my bed! Since getting my first apartment in college, I have had cats, so I have literally a lifetime of owning or caring for cats - life is just better with them in it. I have plenty of experience caring for other people's cats - both in my and their home. I never feel a cat is a stranger, and I am confident when they meet me they know they are in the company of a kindred spirit.

The other half of my life I live as a Feng Shui consultant. I have a small business, and am passionate about bringing positive change to individuals and small businesses. I have lived in different parts of the country, traveled extensively in India and the U.K. and owned my own small coffee shop in the East Village for 10 years. In my practice I help people clear toxicity, lighten their load and teach them how to live in a clutter-free, energy-enhanced supportive environment.
If you're located in the East Village, Cheryl will provide the perfect home environment for your cat/s until you return. She also provides cat sitting visits to your apartment. She loves cats and enjoys their company. Contact us and send us more details about the service you need.

Cheryl was great! She was very nice when we first met her and made sure to know everything she needed to know about the cats in order to take care of them properly. We immediately knew she would be great for the cats because of the way she spoke to Batman when she first met him. Our cat Beans is very very shy but by the end of our trip, Beans was greeting Cheryl at the door. She’s very responsible, always sent us updates with photos and videos for every visit which was great for us as we didn’t have to text to make sure the cats were okay. She was also very responsive to any texts we sent. We’ve had some bad experiences with our neighbors cat sitting recently which is why we decided to finally bite the bullet and try out Kitty in Ny and we definitely made the right choice. We would love to have her take care of our cats again!

I’m happy to tell you about, Cheryl, our cat sitter. Cheryl came to us in August 2020, just as restrictions due to the pandemic were easing. She was very highly recommended by friends who are very experienced cat owners who had used Cheryl’s services in the past and were very satisfied.
Most years, Cheryl cared for my cats for 14 days in the summer and another 14 in the winter. Plus, she always made herself available on short notice when I had to leave town unexpectedly.
Cheryl’s visits the cat twice each day to feed and water him and then spends 30 minutes in play. She often texts me photos or videos of a play session. It’s clear that the cat is having a ball. Murphy has behavioral issues but she deals with him effortlessly. It’s obvious that she cares for him and that he loves her.
I usually worry about my cat when I’m out of the house for any length of time but I go on vacation with no anxiety because Cheryl is so reliable and. so intuitive in dealing with Murphy. I recommend her without qualification to anyone who is in need of a skilled, diligent professional.
By the way, it doesn’t hurt that on top of everything else she’s a genuinely nice person. An absolute pleasure to work with.

Cheryl was fantastic! She was so responsive to our questions and requests. She gave detailed daily updates and sent lovely photos. She was also extremely flexible as circumstances changed while we were away. We definitely plan to work with Cheryl again in the future—our cats will be thrilled to see her again!

The best sitter my cats have ever had. They did not loose weight nor did they appear to have been stressed in any way. Cheryl asked me the right questions and I provided her with detailed instructions. My apartment was not damaged or soiled in any way. She emailed comments about my cats' behavior, general conditions and their reaction to her. I believe she genuinely cared about the cats welfare.

Cheryl has been super reliable and always sends me a photo/video update of how everything is going. My cat is shy, but she seems to have warmed up to Cheryl very quickly. Her love of cats is very clear. She has also been easy to work with when special circumstances have come up such as a temporary change in diet. Overall I really trust that my cat is in good hands with Cheryl, and it's made traveling so much easier.

Cheryl was very friendly and welcoming right from the start. We FaceTimed her beforehand and she walked us through her cat-friendly apartment in great detail. While we were away, Cheryl sent us daily updates, complete with pictures and videos of Piko. Cheryl also gave us a few suggestions to help with raising Piko (ie her preferred brand of cat nip which Piko liked), which we were very grateful for as relatively new cat owners. We could tell that Cheryl has had many years of experience and is a pro when it comes to caring for cats - Piko was very comfortable and felt right at home within a day of being at Cheryl's. I would 100% use her again for cat boarding and highly recommend her to anyone who needs the service. Thank you again Cheryl!

Cheryl was an amazing cat sitter. Clearly passionate about kitties, she made friends with Ziggy right away and regularly sent me videos of them playing and him enjoying her place. Ziggy has stayed with Cheryl a few times and we've become friends. Sometimes I think Ziggy prefers staying with her!

Cheryl was incredibly attentive to my cat Georgie's needs and provided detailed updates on how he was doing every day. She went beyond what I was expecting in caring for his well-being! I was really able to relax knowing that he was in good hands.

I and my husband are very happy and thankful for Cheryl, she has been the best cat sitter I've had by far. She shows great care for my cat "Clara" and sent us many of pics and videos with description while we are away on vacation. Usually my cat sulks and stays under the bed for a while when we come home, but after Cheryl she was so stable. I can see she was well taken care of and very content. We and my cat would definitely love to ask her again for next my vacation. Thank you.
