I'm Sophie
Cat Sitting in Allston, MA
As a cat sitter, I've had experience caring for cats of all ages, with many different personalities and care needs. My first cat sitting experience began as a young child when I created my own cat-sitting "business" and distributed handmade flyers across my neighborhood... Hi! I’m Sophie, a lifelong cat owner who loves and cherishes every cat I meet. I've had cats since I was born and I simply cannot imagine my life without them—they are truly incredible creatures and they bring so much joy to our lives. As a result of my lifelong experience with cats, I am very attuned to their behavior, including verbal and non-verbal cues. I’m adept at earning the trust of shy or anxious kitties, and I always take the time to learn what each cat needs to feel safe and loved.
As a cat sitter, I've had experience caring for cats of all ages, with many different personalities and care needs. My first cat sitting experience began as a young child when I created my own cat-sitting "business" and distributed handmade flyers across my neighborhood. Ever since then, I've been passionate about providing compassionate and responsible care for cat parents in need.
During my visits, your cats will receive pets, playtime, food, a clean litter box, fresh water, and anything else you request. You will also receive lots of photo updates, because I know how much it means to stay connected when you're away.
I’m a proud cat mom to two adorable (and occasionally chaotic!) furballs: Mojito and Bellini. Caring for them has taught me everything from administering medications, to handling litter box mishaps, to kitten-proofing my home. Right now they're almost 1 year old, and growing up so fast.
As a fellow cat parent, I know how stressful and sad it can be to leave your babies alone at home when you're out of town. As your sitter, I will do everything possible to ensure you're put at ease when your babies are in my care. I would be honored to meet and care for your beloved cats in the same way that you'd care for them yourself.
I’d love to meet your fur family—please don’t hesitate to reach out!
Learn More About Sophie
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Getting to meet new cats! As us cat owners know, all cats are unique and have their own quirks. I love getting to know new cats and seeing their adorable personalities and habits, and eventually experiencing a bond forming between us.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I will provide an initial free meet and greet to meet you and your fur babies, ask questions and answer your questions, and learn how you’d like me to care for your cats and your home. I will be prepared to take notes for any specifications you have so that I can ensure your kitties are cared for in the same way you would care for them.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
With timid cats, I usually sit on the floor quietly until they begin to approach me. I always talk to them in a quiet voice and encourage them to come near. If the cat does not want to approach on its own, I will try to coax it from afar using high-value treats or toys (per the owner's approval). Over multiple visits, this usually does the trick. However, I will never push timid a cat out of its comfort zone if it does not want to approach me.

We are so grateful for Sophie. During our two week-long travel abroad, Sophie took such good care of our two kittens, providing them the emotional support they needed, while also providing us assurance through daily text updates and (very cute) photos - these really gave us peace of mind. Sophie clearly knows how to care for cats of different personalities - both our kittens warmed up to her very quickly and looked forward to her daily visits. Sophie played with them, fed them wet meals, cleaned their bowls, changed their drinking water, scooped and changed their litter boxes. Sophie was super attentive to the health and safety of our cats! She notified us when there were changes to their stool consistency and took care to remove items that they were chewing on. When the kittens were unwell and in cones during a prior visit, Sophie was able to skillfully and calmly apply eye drops/ointment for both. We highly recommend Sophie for looking after your cats while you are away!

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 $31.00. 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!
