Hi! My name is Solomon and I have been a longtime owner of 2 cats. It started with my first cat "Fatboy" when I was just a baby, he stayed with us for 10 more years and was buried with my grandfather.

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 all - I LOVE KITTIES! My name is Ann, I’m originally from Nebraska. And for what it’s worth, it is true we midwestern-folk do have a strong work ethic! I currently reside sole in a large apartment in Jackson Heights, New York, where I have a home office. My handsome tuxedo kitty Checkers passed in 2012, and since then I haven’t had pets of my own. He was quite healthy despite being diabetic, I administered 2 insulin injections daily. Checkers and his brother Hobo were rescues from a handbag factory in Brooklyn – I’m actually in the handbag business. If you're located in Queens (Astoria, Woodside, Jackson Heights) Ann will take care of your furry friend until you're available. Our Cat Sitting visits are a good option for short term trips or long weekends. Contact us and send more details about the service you need. We'll be glad to help you.
____________________________________________________ REVIEWS John - survey * * * * * Ann came by for an in person meet and walk through of our apartment before we left to pick up the keys and meet the cats. She was both professional and friendly and made us feel comfortable immediately. While we were away, Ann came by and played with the cats, fed them, cleaned their litter, and made them feel loved, twice a day! She even sent us pictures every time. We came home to a happy house of kittens with everything in order and could not be happier with our experience. Thank you Kitty in NY and Ann! Eric - survey * * * * * Ann sent great pictures every day, and my apt was clean and the cats were happy when I got home. Thank you so much:)) Beth - survey * * * * * Jared and I continue to marvel at how much our standoffish cat adores Ann. That fact alone speaks to her wonderful energy, deep compassionate, and outstanding skills. Autumn - survey * * * * * I could tell Ann was very experienced with cats and she took the time to write down detailed notes on the initial visit, so I knew she was very committed as well. I trusted her to look after my kitties and she did a great job :) Anne - survey * * * * * She did a great job keeping me updated with photos and information. Esti seemed very happy when I returned and Ann was really great and cleaned the litter box area before she left. Beth and Jared * * * * * Ann is a true professional AND deeply loves cats. April took to her immediately and even played with Ann (unheard of!). Ann provided cheerful, charming updates. Our home was well cared for, too. We are so very pleased! Our trip was better because we knew April had a new friend in Ann. Tiffany * * * * * Ann was very detail oriented, and you can just tell that she truly loves and cares about kitties. Lujia * * * * * The first time I met Ann, I knew right away that she is the right person and I trust her would take a good care of my cat. And she did! She knew what she was doing and was very flexible on some detailed instruction. From the pictures she sent to me it seemed my cat was relaxed in the new environment and enjoyed her time of staying. 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 located in Williamsburg or the surrounding area, Sara and Mithat will provide the perfect home environment for your cat/s until you return. They love cats and enjoys their company. They are also available for in home visits in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn. Contact us and send us more details about the service you need.
___________________________________________ REVIEWS Luke - by survey 09/21/2022 * * * * * Sara was great, she was super communicative providing regular updates. She was quick to problem solve when our cat wasn't taking his medical ahead of our flight. If we hadn't moved out of state, we'd use Sara again and again! Jessica - by survey ***** Sara was always punctual and provided regular updates as expected. I felt that my cats were in good hands with Sara while I was away, and I would trust her again in the future. Katie - by survey ***** My cat Carmella was very welcomed in Sara and Mithat's home, and their friendliness made her comfortable right away. We had great communication and both Carmella and I clicked with the caregivers thanks to great communication and mutual interests. Even with Carmella being older and very anxious when being put in a carrier for short travel, she was calm when at their apartment and has stayed calm and happy ever since I got her home!

I grew up in Brooklyn, went to college in Rochester and then came back to NYC to start my career as a physician. That quickly changed due to me hating the field and now I work for an electrical contracting company doing something I love. I always had pets growing up as a child, I currently own a very shy and sweet ball python (small and inoffensive, she will not be left unsupervised outside her tank!). My astrological sign is cancer if you're into that. I look forward to meeting you and taking care of your pet babies. If you live in the Forest Hills area and need to board your cat for a few days/weeks, Aija would be glad to help you with your pet. You would receive periodic updates during the service. Contact us and send more details about the service you need, we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
____________________________________________________ REVIEWS Katherine - by survey 01/01/2024 * * * * * Aija took amazing care of fish and kept me updated on any concerns she had with him during his care. I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care and it made the whole trip less stressful. 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 am a reliable, loving and passionate cat owner. I have raised eight kitties and have taken care of their physical and emotional needs. I really enjoy taking care of them, and especially playing and giving them belly rubs. One of my kitties had diabetes and I gave her insulin twice a day for many years. I understand cat language and can sometimes anticipate their needs. If you would like someone who really loves cats and cares about their well being then I would be the right cat sitter for you. If you need a cat sitter who will come to your place to take of your kitty while you're away, Barbara would be glad to help you. She enjoys cat company and will follow your care instructions to the point. We recommend cat sitting visits during short vacations or long weekends but boarding would be the best option if you plan to leave the city for more that ten days or months. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need.
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! Hello kitty parents! my name is Jessica. I'm a DJ and a Chef. Since I was a child I always had this affinity to connect with every pet I met. I’m an introvert person but when I meet a cat I transform into this very fun and loving person, always up to play and for some cuddles with the little ones. I always try to connect with their personality so I know how to treat each cat and make them a happy day 😊 I have dedicated my life to giving foster care to rescued cats. I moved to NYC one year ago and started cat sitting since I don’t have the space to keep providing for cats in needs. I live with one of the rescues I did in the Dominican Republic. He is my entire universe! My sibling and my best friend and every cat I sit, I treat them as my own. I’m very loyal to my clients and always available & easy to reach. If you are looking for a trustworthy cat sitter in the Bronx or the northern tip of Manhattan, Jessica will be glad to help you. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need, we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
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 Monika Lukasiewicz. I am 57 years old. I live in Middle Village, Queens. I have a degree in psychology and have worked on and off as a fitness instructor. I am very passionate about healthy living. I have a husband and adult son who are not home often. Ever since I was a young girl I have always loved animals, especially cats. I have had and cared for cats almost my whole life. Our family cat recently passed away. She was very old and it broke our heart. We miss her very much. My son was very shaken by it and did not want to replace her. It would be a joy to have a feline presence in our home once more, without the long term attachment. If you are looking for a temporary home for your cat/s, Monika will be glad to help you. She misses having kitty company, she will provide all the love an companionship your pet deserves until you return. Boarding your pet is the best option when you leave for weeks or months, that way your cat will not be lonely, as soon as she adjusts to the environment she will enjoy her time away. If you are only leaving the city for a few days we recommend our cat sitting services instead, a cat sitter will come to your apartment and visit your cats every day until you return. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s and the service you need, we'll get back to you as soon as possible.
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 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 :) If you live in on the west side of Manhattan or the Bronx along the 2/3 train line, Erika will be delighted to take care of your cat. Kitty in NY will help you find the best caregiver for in home boarding or cat sitting services. Contact us and send more details about your cat and we will be happy to help you.

Being a Leo seems to lend itself to the unique connection I have with felines.I have had cats my entire life and they have been the loves of my life, so I enjoy taking care of them, as well as engaging in petting, pampering, and brushing my kitty clients, as they will allow.

They will enjoy visiting your cat/s in your apartment. You will receive photo updates after every visit to let you know how your feline friend/s are doing. Danielle: In my life I have owned 3 cats (2 at a time). One of my cats was diabetic, so I have experience with giving insulin shots and caring for cats with special medical needs. I live with my boyfriend, who has also owned cats in the past. I am a doctor podiatrist, I have experience with giving injections, pills and IVs in humans, and injections in cats. Marshall: I am a financial editor living in Boerum Hill, working in the FiDi. I live with my wonderful girlfriend, Danielle, who introduced me to the Kitty in NY service when she asked if I wanted to board cats in our apartment. Being a cat lover I immediately agreed, and we’ve hosted many excellent kitty guests since. Expanding into the caregiving role simply increases the opportunities I have to make more feline friends. I grew up in rural upstate NY and had many different pets growing up: dogs, cats, chickens, horses and once a very irritable goat. Cats have always been my favorite, as they are by far the most interesting (sometimes maddening). I am experienced in handling the diverse personalities of cats and can recognize when your cat wants to play and when they just want me to leave them alone. I enjoy sending fun updates to my client’s owners and will, if allowed, inundate you with pics of your pets being thoroughly spoiled while you’re away.

I was a little worried because we moved just a few days before his stay so I hoped he’d easily transition. They gave us many updates with pictures and Marshall worked from home the first day to help Norman get situated. He was a little timid at first but he eventually got very comfortable with them, I was worried he wouldn’t want to come home! Now that he’s home he seems to be well adjusted to home life which can only come from being well taken care of!

Preserving pets’ health is a major priority for any pet parent. Dog owners are very particular about dog health. This is because dogs are prone to many health issues. There is, however, a misconception surrounding cats. Most people think cats are much more resilient than dogs. The saying that cats have nine lives is a testament to this misunderstanding. This is simply not true. Dogs and cats are equally likely to get health problems. For example, 10%-20% of all dogs and cats get allergies. The best determinant of dog health or cat health is the animal's age and its genetic predisposition to certain health concerns. Common Skin Problems in Cats
One common problem that many cats suffer from is skin issues. Research indicates that 6% to 15% of all cats suffer from at least one type of skin problem. Here are some frequently occurring skin conditions you need to look out for as a cat parent: 1. Alopecia Alopecia refers to excessive hair loss. Most cats shed their fur so a little bit of hair loss is not a cause of concern. If, however, you notice that you can see the skin where the fur once was and the hair loss is continuous then this is not normal. 2. Itchy Skin Itchy skin is a result of irritation and inflammation. Itchiness causes a lot of discomfort and must be dealt with immediately. You can detect itchiness by observing your cat's behavior. If they itch constantly and appear uncomfortable, then going to the vet is a good option. There are many different causes of itchiness, ranging from food allergies to fleas and even certain internal diseases. Seeking quick treatment is the best course of action. 3. Skin Issues Caused by Bugs Cats are prone to infestation by bugs such as ringworms, fleas, and mites. Many of these parasites live on a cat's skin and cause itchiness, hair loss, and redness. Conclusion for Dealing with Skin Problems in Cats As a pet owner, you must always be on the lookout for any sign of skin problems in your pets. Once you recognize them, it is best to consult your vet. Many people try to change the cat';s food thinking the cause is food-related allergies. Self-diagnosing can be harmful so going to the expert is key to seeking treatment. Courtesy of Myrah Abrar MBM Blog Article Author We would like to introduce you to some of our caregivers.

Antoinette provides in-home boarding and cat sitting services in Midtown Manhattan, New York7/12/2022 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 am a writer who lives alone in a large studio apartment in midtown Manhattan. I had two wonderful cats – Bo Diddley and Roxy - here for 20 years. They both died of cancer in the same year and I was so heartbroken I didn’t ever want to have my own cat again. But when I took care of a girlfriend’s cat when she went on vacation, I realized how much I love having a little furry creature in my life, so I signed up with Kitty In NY. I love boarding and visiting cats and I adore taking photographs of them. My apartment, which is totally cat-proof, has a lot of old-fashioned quilts, desks, trunks and colorful objects that I use as backgrounds for pictures. I swear, cats know how good they look in my shots and they pose with very little persuading. I will care for your four-footed friend as if it were my own. I also have my Red Cross emergency pet medicine certification. If you live in Midtown Manhattan Antoinette is the perfect option to take care of your cat/s while you're away.

We got awesome pictures every single visit, and the cats definitely loved her. They weren't even cross with us for leaving them! It was so great having peace of mind that they were being cared for by someone who loves cats as much as we do. :) We'll definitely use your service whenever we have to be away from home 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 have always been an animal lover and done a great deal of cat- dog- and horse-sitting during my life. I recently lost my own beloved kitty (winter 2015) and miss feline company. Thought it would be lovely to welcome your cat into my home and give him or her all my affection until one day when I feel ready to adopt another pal. I am used to care for cats of different temperaments and ages, and enjoy the process of gently exploring their individual needs and preferences. If this involves rearranging a few things in my home to accommodate a kitty’s choices, I am happy to do so. I live alone in a clean and quiet small studio apartment on the boarder between Chelsea and the Village. It has lots of light and places for a cat to lounge. I work as an equine photographer and do all the editing at home, so your cat would have plenty of company and play time. Hope to make their acquaintance soon. If you live in Chelsea, Pia would be the perfect choice to take care of your cat. She will devote all the time and love your kitty needs. Contact Kitty in NY and tell us more about the service you need. We provide in-home boarding and cat sitting solutions. We'll be glad to help you.
____________________________________________________ REVIEWS Morgan - by survey 06/27/2022 * * * * * Pia was absolutely wonderful at watching my silly old cat. Oliver doesn’t get much attention at home, and it’s clear that he received a ton of attention with Pia! He also requires medication daily and has been very particular about his food. Pia was great at updating me with which brands he was actually eating and if he had taken his medication. Beyond that, Pia sent the cutest videos of Oliver enjoying his time with her. Can’t thank her enough for clearly providing Oliver with care, attention, and love. Nick - by survey 03/10/2022 * * * * * Pia took loving care of our kitty...we received daily fotos & videos that reassured us that our cat was relaxed, comfortable and being well looked after....which we are most grateful for. We will definitely work with KittyInNYC and Pia again! Drew - by survey 01/21/2022 * * * * * Pia was super friendly and gave thorough and fun updates every day. Most of all I could see how well Pia was taking care of my cat by how affectionate my cat was towards her. Lee - by survey 10/12/2021 * * * * * Pia is smart, kind and has great communication skills. She understood Sammy's personality profile and didn't try to force him to do anything he didn't want to do, but she did spend a good deal of time with him even though he didn't emerge from under the bed while she was here. Would definitely want to book with her again. Thanks for everything! Amanda - by survey * * * * * Pia followed all directions, not only meeting, but going beyond all expectations. She was very caring toward Theo, sent me detailed notes of their time together and always included photo and video. Sara - by survey * * * * * Pia was the most wonderful cat sitter! She really took it upon herself to get to know my cats and their different personalities and needs. Pia also sent lots of video and pictures. Mu - survey * * * * * I can’t appreciate enough how much good care Pia put into our two kitties. She truly loves the kitties and kitties enjoy her presence. Plus she is a fantastic photographer. I would recommend Pia to anyone. Melissa - survey * * * * * Pia was exceptional. She clearly knows her stuff around kitties and I was confident our little guy was in good hands. She gave detailed updates and sent great pictures. I would highly recommend! Sara - survey * * * * * Pia was very thorough in her questions about Mimi, her habits, her likes and dislikes. She was very respectful of her being a shy cat with strangers and let her be. Elena - survey * * * * * Pia was very attentive to the cats. Provided ample playtime with them in addition to all the kitty chores. Great photographer and storyteller. Jeffrey - survey * * * * * Excellent knowledge of cats and spent lots of time engaging with my cat in a way that I was deeply impressed by. Great updates as well. Mike - survey * * * * * Pia is the best. She sends me pics and videos of my cats on the days she is visiting and she also helps to clean up if there are any messes. Rachel - survey * * * * * Pia is the best kitty sitter we could ask for. She is super reliable, and goes above and beyond in terms of caring for our cat ollie. She always sends detailed updates and photos when she sits. The apartment and litter box will always be left in great condition as well! Mary - survey * * * * * Pia is SO sweet and always goes above and beyond the call of duty. She loves and values my cat. And it is SO convenient to drop off my cat to her. And she is happy to go buy more food, if needed. Elena and Peej - survey * * * * * Pia was very responsive will all communications prior to boarding, and sent thorough updates during the boarding period. From the pictures she send, you could clearly see that Pompi was well cared for, relaxed, and happy. Pia also went above and beyond her duties when Peej had trouble putting Pompi into her carrier before dropping her off. Mary Robin - survey * * * * * Pia is excellent on all fronts. She is loving AND she is willing to pick up the litter and food at the Pet Central near her (I suspect because her building is unable to receive deliveries.) Also, she keeps bowls, a brush and toys (sometimes I am in a hurry and forget to pack everything I should) - she is just a kind and thoughtful person and has a caring spirit - I suspect this is true in all her endeavors. Sebastien - survey * * * * * Pia was the best with our little Leon! She was really caring with him and gave him all her love! He came back home really happy and in great shape. We also loved the daily emails with multiple pictures that she sent us! Meghan - survey * * * * * She was incredibly thorough and caring. She spent quality with my little kitty, played with and loved on him. Sent several photos, which was much appreciated because I was missing him on my trip. We will definitely use Pia again! Sharon - survey * * * * * Pia was very communicative and made sure all aspects of the cats' care were addressed- food, water, environment, grooming and play. Mary - survey * * * * * Pia is simply the best: genuinely caring and attentive to detail. I think she takes better care of our cat than we do (more attention, for sure). When I picked up cat, she even walked me downstairs and to the corner to help me find a cab. My load was heavy. P stands for perfection in this case. Amanda - survey * * * * * Pia made me feel very at ease leaving my cat. She sent lovely pictures and very thorough updates daily. It seemed like my cat didn't even notice I was gone because she was so happy! Louise - survey * * * * * Our caregiver provided wonderful detailed updates including. photos and videos, and our cat loved her! She is usually so shy, but she really loved Pia! Maybe more than us! Emily - survey * * * * * We really enjoyed having Pia watch our cat. Our cat does not like strangers and we appreciate Pia being able to handle a somewhat "difficult" pet. Alana - survey * * * * * Pia was fantastic. I could tell how invested she was with this job and how much she loves animals. Instantly she put myself and my kitty to ease. Marlow took to her almost immediately and her daily updates were fantastic. Jeff - survey * * * * * Pia went above and beyond my expectations. She loved our cats like we do and spent more then 30 mins with them on some days. I never worried about them while I was away. David has been a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, having raised both cats and dogs since his early childhood. He is, by profession, an IT Specialist, but he began, over the past few years, scaling back and working from home, which afforded him the opportunity to make cat-sitting a primary focus. When asked about his general philosophy, David says: Hi, my name is David! I have been a lifelong pet owner and animal lover, having raised both cats and dogs since early childhood. I am, by profession, an IT Specialist, but began, over the past few years, scaling back and working from home, which afforded me the opportunity to make cat-sitting a major focus. If asked about my general philosophy, I would say because many people view cats as being such self-sufficient creatures, it’s easy for them to take for granted the notion that they are just fine when left alone. Being so familiar with them, and having spent as much time as I have taking care of other people's cats over the years, I realize how untrue this is. It is important for the cats, as well as their humans to have someone there--not just to feed them & clean their litter boxes, but to provide a consistent level of companionship and stress-relieving stimulation, if even only for a brief amount of time every day. This is something that I feel is essential for a pet owner, and it is work that brings me great joy. I was born and raised in Brooklyn where I was surrounded by my family’s cats and dogs until I went away to Stony Brook University for my undergraduate education. It was then that I experienced the sorrow of losing a pet for the first time when my American Wirehair mix, Cookie passed away while I was away at school. I credit this experience, in part, with helping to shape the empathy with which I approach the care of another person’s cat(s)--particularly those with health concerns or of advanced age. Treating your cat(s) with the care and affection that I would my own beloved pet is my guiding principle and reflects the baseline standard of care that I provide. I am fully vaccinated/boosted against COVID-19, and will wear a mask during visits. I am available in the following New York City areas: Bed-Stuy (Bedford-Stuyvesant), Fort Greene, Clinton Hills, Park Slope, Williamsburg, Greenpoint, DUMBO, Boerum Hill, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Kensington and Long Island City (LIC). If you need Cat Sitting service in Brooklyn, contact us with more details. We’ll be glad to help you! ___________________________________________

Jessica - by survey ***** David is AMAZING! He sent beautiful photos and videos and went above and beyond our expectations. He was caring and attentive and even troubleshooted the electric fountain. We’d be thrilled to welcome him back! Elissa - by survey ***** David was fantastic! A clear communicator and a caring person. He really made an effort with our cats and spent time with them. He seems very trustworthy and I feel good about leaving my cats and home under his watch. Olivia - by survey ***** David gave us the gift of peace of mind while we were out of town. I had a lot of anxiety about leaving our cats because of a previous incident with a cat sitter, but David put my mind at total ease. He has such a calming demeanor that I know our cats picked up on and appreciated. I could tell he was very knowledgeable about cats and has a genuine love for them. That makes all the difference for me. Because one of our cats takes medicine daily, we had very specific instructions for their care, and David not only rose to the occasion, he went above and beyond. He asked great questions when he came for the first home visit and sent many daily photos with details on how our cats were doing while we were away. I cannot tell you how much I appreciated all of this. I will definitely be booking with David again. Thank you! 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! "There are many intelligent species in the universe. They are all owned by cats." Hello! My name is Malik and I am living in the LIC/Astoria area. I am the proud father of two spoiled rotten tuxedo cats, Sterling and Cooper (any Mad Men fans?!). What I admire so deeply about cats is their fierce individuality and dedication to their pursuits. Though sometimes it can take a while to earn a cat's trust, there is nothing more rewarding than being on the receiving end of that first boop. Cats in my care will receive a personal assistant, an advocate, a playmate, and a friend. My motto is simple: it's a cat's world, they're just letting us rent it. I have a flexible work-from-home schedule that leaves me with plenty of gaps during the week (and weekend) to come and spend some quality time with your precious feline. If you are going away for a few days and need help with your cat/s, Malik could be your perfect match. He will visit cats located in LIC, you will receive updates after each visit. Contact us and send more details about your cat/s, we'll be glad to help you.

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’ve always been an animal lover. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats since I was a little girl. I’ve had a kitty of my own, Rio, for over 5 years now. Hanging out with pets is always fun for me. I think that cats are especially unique because they know how to relax and just take it easy while also enjoy having fun and playing sometimes. In addition to cat sitting, I work as an academic sleep researcher. I study what factors are involved with sleeping well and how sleep is related to how our brains function. My research takes a lot of focus and attention to detail. I promise that I will pay attention to your cat’s needs with the same level of detail that I bring to my research!

KITTY in NY has selected over the years some outstanding people who have one thing in common: they LOVE cats! Hello, I’m Jen. Originally from Pennsylvania I’ve been a New Yorker for the past 18 years. I love all animals but have a particular soft spot for cats. I currently live with 5 sweet little rescues, two of whom are blind. All of whom are so very sweet and loving. Each of these darlings have been with me since they were kittens. Lucy and Lucky are the senior citizens, 15 and 14 years old. Lucky is a funny little boy who thrives on beauty treatments with the hair dryer and is obsessed with water. Actually likes to drink out of a glass. And this silly fella jumps in the shower with me. How cute is that! I am well-schooled in giving medications as well as shots or fluids, and have been through it all with them. Every morning I wake with a cat by my head and love it. I would love to help take care of your fur babies as well. Jen will take excellent care of your cats while you're away. She will visit your cat/s and send photo updates after each visit.
