Are there places that can take care of your pets while you are away in New York City?

This might be a little early to worry about it, but I'm planning a trip abroad during the summer, and my cat would be left alone for a month. My friends can't take him either because their apartments don't allow pets or they just don't have the time to come over and feed him everyday. Are there places in New York City that can just take care of my cat for a month or so while I'm away? For reasonable prices?





Thank you.|||The very first place to try is asking at your vets. Oh, not about boarding, although that is an option. But what you probably want is a pet sitter, and your vet can usually suggest a reliable company. Sometimes even technicians in their office will do it for extra pocket money.





Pet sitters charge on a sliding scale, depending on how many times a day you want, and if you want them to play with your cat, groom and brush, etc. It is usually better than boarding your cat, as your cat stays in familiar surroundings.





If your vet doesn't have a suggestion, I have posted a link. You can do with it as you like, as I have no idea about any of them.|||http://www.nycdogwalk.com/





This site might help.|||Check the phone book for kennels, some take in cats, ours down in Virginia does. If one doesn't maybe they know someone that does.
