I have one cat, and his name is Chester. I previously owned three cats when I lived in another state over a decade ago.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I create a calm and soothing environment by speaking softly and playing calm piano music so the cat can feel relaxed.

Johnnie was ver communicative through the whole process and did a great job taking care of our cat while we were away for a full week. When we got back it was clear our cat had gotten plenty of attention to keep his separation anxiety at a minimum.

Johnnie was super professional, kept everything clean, and took great care of my cat Diego (who clearly loved having him around!) Couldn't ask for a better sitter. Highly recommended!

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.
Allston cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!

Johnnie is excellent with cats and has always been extremely reliable. We’re both cat lovers and often talk about how best to care for our own cats. He showers his cat with a lot of love and affection and gives him lots of toys and treats. Truly when he’s around cats I can’t tell who is happier: Him or the cat!
