    Helen T. is your go-to for kitty sitting! I cannot image how I would have survived living in NYC with my spritely elder orange tabby Leo without her. A genuine animal guardian, I knew Leo was in great and loving hands with her. She watched him during many vacations and went the extra mile at the beginning of the pandemic when I was trying to get back to NY from LA to get Leo. Both you and your kitty will find a true friend in Helen. I'm also sharing my favorite photo of Leo while in her care - she somehow taught my cat how to take a selfie (you can see Helen in the upper right-hand corner).

    Left my cat with a boarder through kitty in New York for a month and paid over $1000 for the boarding. I came home to a cat with a broken canine tooth. When I called them the following day when they opened to address it, they completely denied this could've happened on their watch, said it could've happened on our drive home, and refused to use their insurance to help me pay for the $1500 vet bill for the surgery. I carefully reviewed the photos that were sent to me and can see in my poor baby's face that she was swollen around week two, which means she was in pain for two whole weeks and probably had issues with eating as she did not want to eat when I got her home. Please please consider asking a friend to watch your animal and not resorting to these companies that do not care about you or your animal and do not hold themselves to high enough standards when reviewing their own shortcomings. I have waited on posting this review, but was just reminded bc I am bringing my kitty for a dental this week. I still don't know how this happened, whether she was hit or dropped or what happened to her since they refused to take any accountability. First photo is how my cat normally looks, the rest are the photos sent to me from the sitter, and finally a photo of the damage. Biggest regret. Your baby deserves better.

    I've been using this service for years now for my cat, Gucci. He's been cared for by different sitters and is always a happy boy when I get home. All sitter provide daily updates and pictures while I'm gone. They are always reliable and take such good care of my cat. I would recommend them to anyone. The owner is always prompt with communication and makes it super easy to get scheduled, even on short notice. I can't say enough good things about the care and quality of service!

    I recently required a cat sitter for my little guy for four days. I liked how prompt their response was after sending them an email for my needs. After determining the dates needed and area in NYC, they referred me to a sitter in my area. They provided me with her phone number, email, and a quick link that had reviews of the suggested sitter. I was told to call the sitter and when I felt comfortable, confirm the appointment by emailing them back. The fee for the organization can be paid online through PayPal and the fee for the sitter is left on the counter (either check or cash) in the apartment or house for the sitter to pick up. My sitter came the day before to orient herself and meet prince. She sent me pictures and videos everyday and left the key on the counter. I would definitely use this service again.

    Excellent! I went on holiday for a few weeks and needed someone to care for my older cat. I really didn't want to pay $500 just to board her in a cage. The best part of this service is that your kitty will have the company of another human being and not be secluded to a cage, not interacting with anyone. The process was very fast and simple. I emailed what we were looking for, received a sitters name and phone number, went to meet her and her place, knew she was the one for my cat, and scheduled time for drop off. I received updates via email every day. Natalie was my cats sitter and she was super professional.

    I had used KittyinNY services three times over the course of last 3-4 months: 1. Destination wedding over the course of summer 2. Nearly two week European holiday 3. Conference in Canada for almost a week So I feel like I had gotten a really good exposure to both the owner and the "kitty babysitters" and these are literally the nicest most kind and most professional people in the world. I was pretty uneasy leaving my cats for almost two weeks when going to Europe especially since I have Peterbald cats who are naturally very needy and one of them requires two different types of eye medicine and lysine gel. My cats are my kids so this was a really big deal. Jose came to my house ( he is amazing!) along with Oscar and we were able to arrange twice daily 45 minute visits. I immediately was drawn to how warm, genuine and all around nice Oscar was - everyone loved Oscar ! My cats loved Oscar ! My hubby loved Oscar ! Even my doorman loved Oscar ! Even almost a month later, when I told my doorman Oscar is coming back to watch the cats again - they were like: " Oh, yeah, Oscar, very nice guy." Literally, he was so nice, that even my doormen remembered him from a month before! Additionally, he takes professional photographer like photos and sent us a bunch of pictures each time that were one of a kind ! He seriously must be a photographer because these photos were so good, that my husband actually used them on his instagram page for the kitties ! So in short, thank you Oscar and Jose from the bottom of my heart, for all your amazing work and I can't wait to use your services in the future !

    My cat having a blast!

    See all

They were responsive on email as I was inquiring and kept up communication even while he was there by sending photos and an update. When I dropped him off and picked him up the staff was very friendly and I felt confident that he was going to be just fine with them.

    We boarded our dog for four nights at Paws in Chelsea while we were on vacation. We received a call…read moreone morning from one of the staff members who were concerned with a bleeding wound found on our dog and suggested an immediate visit to the vet. The veterinarian found the cause of wound to be inconclusive but did confirm it seemed to be (recently) environmental and not self-inflicted (as our dog could not personally reach that area on her body). They did not rule out another dog attacking ours but said that was most likely not the cause. The fact is that we dropped our healthy, clean dog off in good condition and she left with a serious, visible wound as the pictures show - this was not there prior to the drop off and it's quite frankly insane and offensive that was up for debate by Paws of Chelsea. I'm giving two stars as the staff was professional and communicative in handling this issue, on the way to the veterinarian. However, there was zero accountability on their part and we were met with excuses and blame. Paws of Chelsea did give us one free night of boarding which was appreciated but was not nearly as much as we had to spend on an extremely expensive vet bill and the discomfort our dog suffered. Based on reading other reviews and how the owner chooses to respond, I do not suggest this place for boarding. If someone is choosing to board, I HIGHLY suggest doing a full examination with pictures, before dropping off your dog and signing their waiver.
