I'm Cynthia

Cat Sitting in Boise, ID

Got a skittish kitty? A bossy little lion? No worries, I speak fluent feline! I've been a cat mom for 30+ years!

With a background in cat enrichment and behavior modification, I have a knack for earning the trust of even the most standoffish and secretive cats. Whether your furry companion is shy, bold, or somewhere in between, I can read kitties well, and I always bring a calm, grounded energy that helps them feel safe and secure...
Got a skittish kitty? A bossy little lion? No worries, I speak fluent feline! I've been a cat mom for 30+ years!

With a background in cat enrichment and behavior modification, I have a knack for earning the trust of even the most standoffish and secretive cats. Whether your furry companion is shy, bold, or somewhere in between, I can read kitties well, and I always bring a calm, grounded energy that helps them feel safe and secure. During visits, I follow your cat's lead: playtime, gentle brushing, cozy companionship, or just respectful presence, whatever your kitty tells me they want.

I’m also borderline obsessive (in a good way) about secure entries and exits. If your cat is a known escape artist, trust that I’ll take special care not to let them out!

I'm also experienced in administering medications and injections to cats. I'm sensitive to, and know the importance of, timing medications appropriately with visits, so their doses stay on schedule. Be sure to let me know these details!

Learn More About Cynthia

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I will send you a list of items that I like to know before sitting or dropping in on your kitty! I also like to meet you and your kitty before I care for them to make sure we are all a good fit!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Absolutely! I’ve recently retired from the tech world, am divorced and generally am not traveling during holidays, so get in touch!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I have a good understanding of both the “secret admirers” and “private investigators” and their need for their humans to be present, slow, and quiet. I tend to always have a calm presence around pets. If your cat is dealing with trauma or anxiety, I will always do my best to step in for you while you’re gone and give them as much love and support I can.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Boise cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet!
