My first pet was Marco, a beautiful red marbled European cat. I was six. After the experience with him - he was totally wild - I knew I can have any kind of cats in the apt and so it was. I grew up rescuing stray cats from the street and curing them, we have a lot in Italy, for the happiness of my mother. Our family cat there is now seventeen years old.
I owe a lot to Kitty in NY for giving me the possibility to continue to take care of them and treat them like my own.
I am a personal chef and I can cook authentic Italian food. I am also a jewelry designer with a passion for teaching, I teach art and Italian both to kids and adults. I design from home and spend most of day in the apartment. I adore to have cats around while I work, they are truly an inspiration for me.
At Kitty in NY we have a wide selection of caregivers in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. They all have had cats of their own but have no pets at the moment. Your cat will be the only pet in the apartment and will receive all the attention and love he/she deserves. Contact us and send us all the details about the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.

Patrizia did an absolutely amazing job taking care of our kitten. We had just adopted him two weeks before, so he was still adjusting and learning to feel comfortable with us and in the space. He still hisses and runs and hides, but Patrizia was able to get him to come out and play, and even sent us a video of him purring! I read other reviews that said she is a cat whisperer, and I had the same experience - it was really wonderful that she was able to interact with our kitten so much. She sent us tons and tons of pictures, which I absolutely loved, especially since I had been nervous about leaving our kitten. But I had no need to worry - Patrizia was wonderful!

Patrizia was amazing! She did such a fantastic job with the cats. My cat Dakota is usually extremely timid and hides when we have caregivers come over. From the first visit, he was drawn to her and comfortable--not timid at all! She's a practical cat-whisperer! Patrizia also took special care take plenty of photos and provide us with updates every day after visiting. She simply could not have done a better job. Best cat caregiver ever!

We were very fortunate to have found Patrizia to take care of our Persian kitten for a weekend. Our little furry girl loved her and was well fed, combed and cleaned carefully. Our kitten is usually afraid of strangers and would hide under the couch, so the fact that Patrizia was able to hold her and interact with her without us present says volumes about Patrizia's expertise with cats! We also received pictures and updates while away. We will definitely ask for Patrizia in the future.

We had to go to Florida to work on our home there and needed to find a cat sitter in NY. After seeing the positive feedback on Yelp for Kitty in NY I felt at ease to pursue my enquiry in cat sitting services for our Nacho. This would be the first time using these services and we are so happy that we did. Jose was very prompt in his reply and provided information regarding the services for hire. Before I knew it, they had a match for us, Patrizia. We set up a video chat and I immediately felt comfortable in Nacho being in Patrizia care, was great, she sent us plenty of photos of Nacho which put us at ease. We will definitely use Kitty in NY, and ask for Patrizia in the future. Nacho was very happy with his new friend!

Patrizia was terrific. I realized i needed to bring in Sweet Pea the evening before we booked and she was totally acommodating. Sweet Pea got sick the day beforehand and I was SO worried to drop off a sick kitten. Patrizia handled it so well. She was very reassuring and was able to administer the medicines as the vet instructed. My kitten returned to me in better health than when i left her! I highly reccommend Patrizia!! I hope she wants to watch Sweet Pea again.:)

Patrizia messaged me daily how Samson was doing with very cute and funny pics of Samson. I felt very relieved to hear from her and see the pics everyday, often twice a day.
Her apartment is very cat-friendly, windows facing a garden that attract birds and squirrels. In the pics Samson looked just so happy to be staying with her. Thank you Kitty in NY!
