I'm Leah
Cat Sitting in Allston, MA
Shy kitties... Hey there, cat parents! I’m Leah (she/her), your supportive kitty friend who’s all about making slow blinks and purrs happen. I get it, leaving your furry overlord can be nerve-wracking, so I roll out the red carpet with a chill routine just for them: fresh kibble & water, spotless litter, quick house scan, plus prime playtime with their fave toys, gentle brushes, or cozy cuddle sessions on their terms.
Shy kitties? No prob—I’m a pro at patient lurking until they pounce first. Anxious ones get extra reassurance and zero rush. Got an older cat? I specialize in gentle handling, meds if needed, and extra comfy vibes to keep them purring strong. Think laser chases, feather wands, or just napping side-by-side like besties. Your home stays tidy, your cat stays royalty of the throne, and you get fun photo updates after every visit. 🐾
Learn More About Leah
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I've cat sat friends' cats on and off for over a decade, with daily check-ins to stay-cations for feeding, fresh water, litter changes, playtime, and cuddles. For my own cats, I've handled oral meds, flea treatments, baths, and vet trips.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I want you to feel 100% good about me hanging with your fur-baby and popping into your home. We'll chat, I'll listen, and we'll jot down the key routines together. If I'm not your vibe (or for your kitty), totally cool, no hard feelings!
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I prioritize cat safety with hazard checks, supervised play, meds for seniors, and routine care. Home security: lock doors, platform-verified, photo updates.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Available mornings and evenings for Thanksgiving week and weekend in Brookline, Allston, and Cambridge neighborhoods or a returning client.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I move slowly, sit low, avoid direct staring, and let shy cats come to me, using treats, toys, soft voice, and patience. For anxious kitties, I notice their hiding spots, let my scent become familiar, and wait for them to emerge.

Leah was wonderful with my very shy cat who has gone over a week without showing her face to other sitters. Not only did she show her face but was waiting at the door for pets. Highest recommendations.

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 $32.00. 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!

Leah is definitely a cat person! She's watched over our three cats while we were out of town and they got all the attention and pets they require. She understands the importance of sticking to their schedule, whether it's meal time or playing. The cats are always excited to see her and I like to think they consider her part of their family.
