Kiyoko H.
Drop-in Visits, Boarding, Home Care, House Sitting
I raised a black cat for 17 years. I adored him from the time he was 3 months old. Since he passed away, I haven’t had a pet of my own, but have taken care of many other people’s cats instead, and enjoy doing so.
I provide cat-sitting, house-sitting, and boarding services. I am trained in giving insulin and oral meds, and I have experience caring for senior cats.
I’ve been a professional photographer for many years and love playing with the cats I care for while capturing beautiful photos and videos of them. I send daily updates to their owners along with these images.

My cats need to be fed in separate rooms, and Kiyoko managed it brilliantly. She is very caring, and takes the time with each cat. She is also a photographer so I had the pleasure of twice daily updates with pictures and video of the cats. This allowed me to relax and not worry about them while traveling.

Manhattan Meow made last minute cat sitting a breeze! Kiyoko is the best, she is so lovely and responsive and will give you all the updates that an anxious traveling cat mom needs and wants. My little kitty, who is normally shy, felt so comfortable around her! Made this cat mom very happy. 5 stars!

Kiyoko always takes excellent care of my kitties! I feel reassured knowing that they are in great hands while I'm away.

Kiyoko was a wonderful cat sitter. She is dependable, kind, and connects well with cats. From beginning to end, Manhattan Meow and Kiyoko were communicative and thorough. I would definitely recommend them for anyone seeking a cat sitter.

Kiyoko watched our recently adopted cat for multiple 2 week vacations and received daily updates with pics, videos and she was able to get Queenie to a last minute vet appt when she scratched a bald spot on the back of her neck! It's incredibly reassuring to know we can be halfway around the world and our kitty is in excellent hands!!

Lucy is a very shy and sensitive 2 years old cat....I was so worried to leave her for my upcoming trip...
Kiyoko H.! I can’t thank enough her for being very patient with my Lucy. Lucy was so stressed...and Kiyoko updated me regularly during the day about how she was doing, how much she ate/drank/peed, how much food left etc.
She even took the time to help me to FaceTime with Lucy! I don’t even mention the photos and videos she shared regularly. I would recommend Manhattan Meow and Kiyoko H. to anyone who is looking for great care with love and compassion.

I was thrilled with Manhattan meow and especially Kyoko, the cat whisperer! Such a relief to find a truly professional service to take care of my cat each day during my vacation. I will absolutely use them again and highly recommend manhattan meow and Kyoko to anyone looking for a pet sitting service!

I was in a pinch....Ceylan came to the rescue! She set me up with Kiyoko, who took care of him on two occasions. On one occasion, Kiyoko boarded my cat in her apartment for two weeks, and another time she stopped by my apartment for daily one-hour visits over the course of two weeks. My experience was fantastic! Both Ceylan and Kiyoko are extremely prompt in communicating over text. I received daily photo and video updates, and I always felt that my cat was under excellent care. My cat is very shy and has a hard time getting comfortable around new people, but he ended up developing a very close relationship with Kiyoko. Without hesitation, I would highly recommend Manhattan Meow!

I know I’ve already reviewed Manhattan Meow, since I first used their services a year ago. Since then I’ve adopted a 2nd stray cat and yes - I continue to use Manhattan Meow.
Kiyoko is my go-to. She is beyond reliable and knows my cats and their little quirks. It’s so worth having peace-of-mind, when one has to travel and leave their fur babies behind. (December 2022)
