We had an exceptional experience boarding our cat through Katie's Kitty. She is a timid cat with a lot of fears and some very specific quirks -- like not being able to be left alone overnight -- that past in-home sitters have ignored, leading us to be stressed and upset on trips and our cat even more so. We haven't had a single trip that's gone without major issues because of sitter neglect and lack of care. We decided to try boarding to help with our cat's separation anxiety and we still can't believe how well it went. Communication and expectations were open and clear, and the sitter went above and beyond to make sure our cat felt safe and cared for, even with her timidity and fears. She did so much to ease her anxiety and help her in the stressful situation of unfamiliarity and interrupted routine. It was a dream come true to find someone like this. I was also reassured by concluding a contract with the company, which clearly stipulates all provisions of the boarding and when we'll receive updates/photos, etc. It eased our minds so much compared with past experiences when communication was totally sporadic despite someone living in our home. We will absolutely book through them in the future. Their professionalism and dedication were so appreciated! read more

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY. I entrusted Anna B with my two cats and she decided to have another cat in the home while sitting mine without telling me. As everyone who owns cats already knows, you cannot introduce cats like this. And how did I find out? The cat was in the background of the update photo she sent on night one. I insisted on a full refund and rightfully received it, but have heard absolutely nothing from management (Ed), no apology from Anna B who "didn't know what the big deal was" and got zero responses to my two emails. Very disappointing experience. I cannot speak for other sitters or managers, but based on my experience I'd recommend choosing another boarding company! read more

Great service! Very professional, quick to respond and most importantly extremely compassionate! Thank you to the team at Katie's Kitty!

Finding a new pet sitter is very stressful to me because I can't enjoy my vacation if I'm worried about my two cats the whole time. I found Katie's on Instagram a couple of years back and have had the best experience. The administrators are very responsive and friendly. They found me a sitter near my apartment and I love that he was in the neighborhood. Once done with water, feedings, and litter box duties he spent plenty of time just loving on them and playing with them. Larry, my sitter up to now, brought them treats and toys out of his own pocket, sent me updates and photos/videos with every evening visit, and always kept me apprised of how they were doing. I'm super sad that we are losing Larry due to me moving to a different borough but I have faith that Katie's will find me a new sitter who is just as caring and reliable. Thank you for the great service and the peace of mind! read more

Katie's Kitties is the only sitting agency I have ever used for my kitties since I feel very safe using your service. For my elderly cat they were so kind and extra gentle. They value their clients and are a loving organization read more

Sally did a wonderful job taking care of our two Siberian cats for 10 consecutive visits! This was the first time we left our cats alone for that long without family and not only did Sally ensure that we had detailed updates with photos and videos but we also returned to two very calm, happy, and content cats! Their coats were also fluffy and groomed . Sally has many cat toys and really understands the cat breed well. The cats loved the paper grass she gifted them and kept laying on it even after we returned home. We are happy and thankful to have found Sally through Katie's kitty! read more

Katie's Kitty - Pet Sitting Near Me - New york, New York

We were so lucky to have Stephanie cat sit for our girls. She did such a great job, I swear our girls were disappointed that we came home because we didn't give them the play attention they got from Stephanie. She gave us daily updates accompanied with pictures/movie and was super communicative. Will def continue using their services for sure ! read more

Katie's Kitty is still great! We went away for a week and needed someone to care for our two geriatric cats. Katie's Kitty sent Dan who was AMAZING! He put up with my crazy​ and emailed us daily updates on our two girls. He did a great job cleaning the litter box and changed the pad when it needed to be changed (we use the Breeze system). When we came home, our cats were happy, well cared for and the apartment didn't smell like a ​litter box. We will definitely​ use them again! read more

I love Katie's Kitty and all of the cat sitters I have worked with in NYC. Huge shout out to Joe on the UWS - he is always available, reliable, and highly professional. Joe is loving and caring toward my cat, and goes the extra mile to make sure she is well cared for. My cat clearly loves getting to spend time with him and it always makes me feel comfortable going away knowing that he will be caring for her. Thank you, Katie's Kitty! read more

Katie's Kitty saved our butts! We are new cat owners (4 months in) and needed to go out of town for a few days. Because of the pandemic, we were unable to find friends to take care of our cat and our vet isn't boarding. We did a bit of research and found Katie's Kitty. The owner, Peter, quickly connected us with Anna, who is officially our cat's new best friend. We (and our kitty!) felt so comfortable with Anna who is both a pet lover and pet expert. She provided email updates while we were away and went above and beyond to make sure our cat was well taken care of. We know who we'll be calling next time we're going out of town! (oh, and they're very reasonably priced!) read more

Katie's Kitty - Asami loved hanging out with Anna! - Pet Sitting Near Me - New york, New York

All of the Katie's Kitties cat sitters we've had the pleasure to work with in NYC have been fantastic. We so appreciate the convenience, attentiveness, and reliability. Great communication as well, with pictures every day. Big shout out to Joe on the UWS. Thank you! read more

I had two sitters take care of my cat over a couple months for very short weekend trips. Both of them did the bare minimum and got paid. Spent usually under a half an hour with my cat per visit. The last straw for me was when my sitter did not show up to feed my cat the first morning I was away during my trip in Mexico. When I called her to ask her what happened she claimed she overslept. Never again! Do yourself a favor and do anything else read more

I have been a Katie's kitty customer for many years now and all of their sitters have been amazing. I used Paula for many years while I was in hells kitchen, and could clearly tell she had a passion for taking care of my kitty. Since I moved to the upper west side I have used Joe, who has been equally loving and affectionate towards my hopscotch. Thank you Katie's kitty! read more

MIGHT AS WELL HAVE JUST GOTTEN A LITTER ROBOT AND AUTO FEEDER, AT LEAST THEY'RE RELIABLE The cat sitter we were assigned through their service added more STRESS than help while we were away. Here is what we had to deal with: -He lost our keys! Seriously, talk about "you had one job." Nobody wants to get a message on vacay from your sitter who lost your keys and now can't get in to feed your cats. We cancelled our flight and frantically searched for a way to come back sooner and immediately called our property manager to try to get him a replacement set of keys ASAP. -Before we left town, we scheduled a meeting date/time 2 WEEKS IN ADVANCE to hand off the keys. This man has the nerve to CANCEL right ON THE DAY we're scheduled to meet. We even offered to meet at/near their place for convenience. - He literally didn't do the one thing we asked: we said, "we don't care if you don't play with them, but please make sure to visually see the feral cat that hides and barely eats to make sure he's still alive and well." He texted us after a visit to to let us know that HE DIDN'T HAVE TIME to go see where he was that day. UM. We live in NYC in a 1Bx1B!! it's not a mansion sir - he's in there somewhere. If you don't have time to care for our cats and give us peace of mind while away- thennn what exactlyyyy are we paying for here? - We had a camera in the apt, he was in and out in 15m. Not the worst offense but combined with the rest of blunders, it shows they really do not care about providing a good service. CLEARLY Katie's Kitty's vetting process is ass. Save your money. Or just don't get Ryan. read more

The cat sitter I had was not at all reliable or responsible. CONS: - The cat sitter does not stay for a full 30 minutes as the contract states but leaves after 15~20 minutes (usually 15 minutes). I know this because I have a nanny cam at home - The cat sitter is seen using phone quite often (sits on my couch and text or takes a call) - The cat sitter does not follow up about the upcoming dates, deposit etc. I send them a reminder, I ask about the deposits etc. I am always chasing the cat sitter for administrative things as though I work for the cat sitter -The cat sitter talks condescendingly to my cat (I bet the cat sitter wouldn't have spoken to my cat that way in my presence) - The business owner never even checked in once to ask for my feedback - The cat sitter also helps itself with drinks in my refrigerator, forgets to close it after opening - The cat sitter never cleans the feeding area, not even a little. I come home to absolute mess (one time I left a little hand-held vacuum cleaner by the sandbox, of course, it was not used) PROS: - Always does show up and feed the cat and cleans the litter Summary: The cat sitter does the bare minimum and is irresponsible. read more

We have been using Katie's Kitty for a few years and have never been disappointed. Checkers is a beloved feline member of our family and our Sitter, Julie, treated him like her own from day one. The communication from the very start was excellent. Julie came to our home to meet us and Checkers and it was clear to us that she had the same love of cats that we do. She is gentle, patient, and will do whatever is best for your pet. We have had our pet stay with Julie for single overnights as well as extended periods of time. She sends photos, reports on behavior, and reassures us that our Checkers is in excellent hands. I would not dream of using any other service and highly recommend Julie and Katie's Kitty. read more

I have used Katie's Kitty twice now, and my sitter Katharine was an utter rockstar both times! She seems to really love what she does and my kitty is always very happy to see her. She's excellent at sending me photos and updates while I'm away which gives me peace of mind that my little critter is doing fine while I'm away. I would recommend this service to anyone with a cat and I would specifically recommend Katharine for her professionalism, good attitude, and apparent love for cats :) read more

Paula from Katie's Kitty was the absolute BEST! I had to go on an international trip so I chose to board my senior cat at Paula's home. Paula was communicative & thoughtful and took great care of my cat, regularly sending pictures and updates. I am incredibly thankful for the attentiveness and care Paula gave to Kitty, and I could tell Kitty adjusted quickly to the new home. She will be my go-to cat sitter now! read more

We had a great experience with our cat sitter Patricia, who we found through Katie's Kitty. She was very flexible and accommodating with us during the busy holiday season, and even came over before we went away to meet our cat Phoebe and get the lay of the land. She sent us great photos and updates every day, and took care to notify us with any issues that came up. She even brought up a package for us in our walk up. This was our first time hiring someone to care for Phoebe, and we were so grateful to have someone we trusted! read more

Katie's Kitty - Phoebe loved having someone to play with! - Pet Sitting Near Me - New york, New York

These folks are wonderful. Everything is clear, professional, upfront, and reasonable. A particular shout out to Andrea, who goes beyond - videos, pictures, everything spotless. I always look forward to her updates. 10 stars if I could. read more

We've honestly never had a better cat sitter in the last 7 years. Val is extremely caring, responsible, and communicative. She tooks such good care of our cats Charlie and Zuzu, clearly cares about them deeply, always sends us detailed summaries after each visit, as well as a ton of photos (both of which we love!). Whenever we go away, we no longer worry for even a second about our cats because we know Val is taking such good care of them -- it really eases our minds. Plus, she even brings in our mail and packages! The first time we asked Val to catsit for us, our cat Zuzu had just had her arm amputated as part of her cancer treatment, and we had to keep her confined to one room and gave Val fairly complicated instructions. She handled it all perfectly and we'll be forever grateful for that. There's not a single thing that Val could do better -- she's the perfect cat sitter. She goes above and beyond each time. We would highly recommend her to anyone that needs a cat sitter read more

We used Katie's Kitty when we ended up in a bit of a pinch for cat care for a recent vacation. They very quickly responded to our request for care even though it was somewhat short notice. Their client onboarding process was clear and straightforward and they collected all the necessary and pertinent information in case of any emergencies. Our care provider Kazumi was wonderful. Our fur baby is a little shy and doesn't necessarily warm up to strangers. But he took to Kazumi much quicker than we would have expected and by the end of her visit she was petting him and taking his picture up close. She asked questions and got information during the meet and greet that we would not have thought to. She took notes on the feeding instructions. During care, she was very attentive, even noticed a couple of our plants were looking dry and watered them even though we hadn't asked her to. She emailed us a little update every day with pictures which put our minds at ease that our boy was in good hands during our trip. We will definitely be using Kazumi and Katie's Kitty again for our next trip. read more

Non responsive to emails and signup on their website or to follow-up calls. Clearly too busy to need to new clients - disappointed.

What a fabulous find! We hadn't taken a vacation in months, as we had adopted a new little kitten, Irene (our baby: http://static1.px.yelpcdn.com/photo/lpWwRsyll9WtSPVITGxxoA/l). Katie's Kitty calmed all worries, and introduced us to a wonderful sitter, Teri. Teri met with us for an interview at our home- and we became certain this was a perfect decision. The contract process was simple.. and the cost was entirely affordable. Teri came to feed, clean up and play with Irene twice a day- and even shot us updates and some photos of Irene on a regular basis. There was nothing more comforting than hearing from Teri each day- and it really allowed us to fully enjoy our trip away from NYC. We arrived home to a sweet, calm and happy Irene.. a perfectly clean litter box area.. and evidence of a well fed little kitten, along with Rena's drinking fountain well maintained, with clean, cool water. Our abundant collection of furry toys and things were present throughout the living room. It's hard to leave your pet- but I assure you that Teri is a fabulous sitter- and capable of true companionship and care in your absence. read more

Katie's Kitty - from their website - Pet Sitting Near Me - New york, New York

Used Katie's cat sitting service many times when we were living in Manhattan as well as after we moved to Jersey City. Their cat sitters were very nice and responsible. They shared with me photos, videos of my cats everyday, and updated me with any irregular activities. My cats were taken great care, thank you! read more

Had to leave my cat alone for a long weekend for the first time. She's a sweet cat that loves humans and not other cats (naturally), so the best solution for her was to hire a cat sitter to come into my apartment daily to feed her/do some light litter box scooping. PAULA from Katie's Kitty was absolutely amazing and very professional! She kept me updated on my cat's well being while I was on vacation. Huge thank you to PAULA and PETER from Katie's Kitty. I was able to have peace of mind thanks to your kind care of my Cassie :) read more

My wife and I live on the UES and had to leave our cat, Dexter, for a three day long weekend. Without getting into the weeds with details, our cat had recently injured himself and we were extremely hesitant to leave him and almost cancelled our trip. By some miracle, we were connected with Laura - she was BEYOND helpful and we had total confidence in her as both an incredibly caring person and a professional. It's rare to find someone like Laura that so obviously loves what she is doing. I'm recommending her to all my friends in the building and would unequivocally recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter. 1 read more

I have a cat with special needs (seizures/medication) and Lori did an excellent job taking care of her, including handling one of the seizures. She was patient, thoroughly detail-oriented, and caring. There's no one I would rather have caring for Lily. read more

This was our first time a week trip and leave our tow cats at home, which we think not too long time leave them along and also have cat sitting to take good care of them. Michelle she's really patient and knows how to take good care of our katties. We received their video while we were in abroad and can see our cats just enjoyed and comfortable to be with her. We really appreciated and really impressed how good of their professional service! Highly recommended! read more

Wonderful service from Katie's Kitty. I needed last minute boarding and a cat sitter wasn't an option. After reading the reviews, I felt Katie's Kitty was the best for my cat to be boarded through them for a week. I was connected through Peter to Paula. Communication was seamless and was provided with updates frequently. Prior to drop off, I was able to provide details such as feeding routine, behavior issues. Etc that would be beneficial to providing a comfortable experience for my cat. I would definitely use them again when away from town- highly recommend! read more

The care provided was great... and believe me: coming from my finicky cats, it means a lot! In fact when we returned from vacation, one of our cats pulled me aside and politely asked if it would be possible for me to move out permanently so that they could continue being spoiled rotten by Katie's Kitties! How ungrateful! read more

Amazing service. I was in a pinch due to a last-minute trip and since I had just moved to Manhattan, I needed a new cat sitter. Katie's Kitty set me up with an excellent host and my cat seemed very much at home. Julie was so sweet and attentive to my fur baby. Other times when I needed a sitter after moving to Queens I was lucky to be paired with a wonderful cat sitter - Sara. She as well is so sweet and lovable to my cat. I cannot thank Katie's Kitty enough. read more

It was my first time using Katie's kitty pet boarding service. I was moving out of the country and bringing my 2 cats along. When I had to vacate my apartment and moved to a hotel for few days, I had to find a place to send them for boarding. I found Katie's kitty recommended by former cat sitter - Pawfect Day. I had Julie Prince as the cat sitter and she was amazing! I was stressed and hectic with the whole packing and moving, but Julie was there to take care of my cats for 3 days before their departure. We had to depart first and leave the cat, and the cats will take a different flight later. Julie helped us with the preparation and make sure our cats are fine on the day of the departure. Julie is a true cat lover- she takes care of our fur babies just like hers. She was very passionate with her job anad very concern. She even make sure the agent that picked up our cats to the airport has all the documents since we were not there to inspect during the picked up. She kept us updated on daily basis and even checked on the cats if they're fine and arrived safely at the destination. When we visited our cats before we depart, both of our cats looks so happy at her home. I would highly recommend Julie Price if you're looking for a cat sitter to board your kitties. Thank you so much Julie for everything! I am happy with the service provided by Katies Kitty. read more

I am so grateful that I found Katie's Kitty on Yelp and called them up myself after moving to the Upper East Side last year. When you call, Peter answers the phone, asks for some basic information (your animal's name, your address, etc.) and then sets up a free home visit with a local pet sitter. I'm very lucky, because Carol - the pet sitter Peter introduced me to - is so thoughtful and sweet to my cat, Theda, that Theda always seems disappointed when I return home from a trip! I travel quite a lot and quite often for my job, and it's super easy for me to set up Theda's care before I go. I just call or e-mail, pay a deposit for the total cost of all the home visits required while I'm away, and leave the rest in cash for Carol to pick up on her first visit. During each visit Carol feeds Theda to my exact specifications, plays with her and brushes her, and even tidies up around the food and water bowls and litter box before I come home! I also appreciate the daily check ins Carol emails me, it definitely makes me feel confident that Theda is happy while I'm gone. I wish I could be home more often with my lovely cat, but since I have to travel so often I am glad Carol is the person I can trust to take care of my animal friend. read more

While I don't typically write Yelp reviews, I am compelled to share my truly positive experiences with Katie's Kitty. Upon reaching out to Katie's Kitty, I was put in touch with Pat. Pat has pet-sit for me several times, now. I can confidently say I am much more at ease leaving my cat knowing she is in Pat's care and would highly recommend her to others for her professionalism and reliability. Thank you, Pat! read more

These are top-notch sitters who will care for your cat as if they are a member of the family. And make one challenge of getting away (who will take care of my furry friend??) a non-issue. Katie's Kitty has been such an amazing resource for us! We used to have an live-in sitter as our 13 year-old Bengal requires quite a bit of attention. With COVID, we realized that was not a great option, so we found a wonderful sitter, who hosts our cat in her home, though Katie's... only 20 blocks from our apartment. She sends us tons of photos and on the first visit, our kitty was in her lap purring away. read more

My cat was taken care of so well - he loved it! Great care and consideration. Super helpful, great service!

Katie's Kitty has made my life so much simpler! I was lucky enough to be paired with Alice, one of the company's wonderful sitters who works in the Astoria area. Alice has watched my cat Cloudy twice now and I've been so happy with her work both times. She is incredibly communicative, and if you're as crazy about your cat as I am you'll know how important that is. Whenever I go on a trip I actually find myself looking forward to hearing from the cat sitter--each time she visits Cloudy, Alice sends me plenty of texts, photos, and videos describing what Cloudy is doing and how she seems to be feeling. Alice is consistent with visit times and really seems to value building a relationship with her clients' pets! It's rare I find someone who is as excited to talk about my cat as I am, but I've found exactly that with Katie's Kitty. On her most recent visit Alice was even able to get my painfully shy cat to purr! She really goes above and beyond and gives me such peace of mind whenever I have to go out of town. In my opinion, this level of care is what sets Katie's Kitty apart from other pet sitting services. Not only does Alice dote on my cat and provide me with tons of updates, but she also does little considerate things like bringing up my mail or picking up a new bag of cat litter. The rates ($35 per 30 minute visit) also feel very reasonable for the level of care the company offers. Thank you Alice, and thank you Katie's Kitty! I've been recommending this service whenever my NYC friends mention needing a cat sitter, and I'll definitely be requesting Alice's services for many trips to come. read more

I've used Katie's Kitty for years, both while living in NYC and more recently in Jersey City. We have never had a bad experience - every cat sitter has been professional and friendly, and they have all sent us regular emails with photos of our cats and updates as to how they are doing. Our favorite cat sitter by far has been Candace. She truly cares about our cats and goes above and beyond to take great care of them. She has been able to make herself available for last minute visits on more than one occasion, and she gives my cat her medication without any issue. She visits not just to feed the cats, but also to play with them and make sure they are loved while we are out of town. I would highly recommend Candace and Katie's Kitty. read more

Our 1st time leaving our Mikey in the care of someone other than family and of course we had our concerns. We scoured the neighborhood and the internet looking for someone or someplace that would take special care of our special furry one and without being in a cage the entire time in their care. We found Katie's Kitty online. They have many great reviews and because we are not in Manhattan, we were greatly surprised that they offered their services near to us. We were introduced to Ann and we spoke over the phone at great length. She, even over the phone, could tell that she has such an affinity of our furry friends, especially cats. We set up an appointment to see her and her home in person before making a commitment. It was a dark and stormy night and after walking a few blocks, sopping wet, we arrived at Ann's home. She welcomed us in as if we were long lost friends with no concern of how wet we were. We sat in her home which is simple but warm and welcoming (we feel ours is the same) and chatted for more than an hour discussing her previous visitors, her own furry ones and the such. She made us feel very comfortable and decided to set up his visit and stay. During Mikey's stay with Ann (and her visiting aunt), we received many, many updates, pictures and videos. He really made himself at home rather quickly. Ann and her aunt showered him with love and attention, gave him the full run of the house and cared for him as if he were their own. We could not ask for more. Should you need to leave your beloved furry friend for any length of time and without being locked in a cage, be sure to look into Katie's Kitty and especially Ann if you live in Queens. read more
