Cat Sitting in Belmont, MA

Hi!

My name is Leigh. Thank you so much for considering me to take care of your precious cat! 

My family are all big animal lovers. I have continuously had cats since I was seven years old and I absolutely adore them! I am experienced with cats of all ages. Currently I have a 9 year old Maine Coon named Bo. He is my entire life. As such, I am very aware of what it means to leave your cat with a stranger. I very much value reliability. I promise to take care of your cat as if they were my own.

I also know how much it means to get updates while you are away...
Hi!

My name is Leigh. Thank you so much for considering me to take care of your precious cat! 

My family are all big animal lovers. I have continuously had cats since I was seven years old and I absolutely adore them! I am experienced with cats of all ages. Currently I have a 9 year old Maine Coon named Bo. He is my entire life. As such, I am very aware of what it means to leave your cat with a stranger. I very much value reliability. I promise to take care of your cat as if they were my own.

I also know how much it means to get updates while you are away. I will ensure to give timely updates during every visit and make sure to include pictures so you can see how your cat is doing without you.

As someone who has had multiple cats over my lifetime, I am very aware that every cat is different. I will strive to make sure your furry friend feels as comfortable during my visits as possible. Whether that means cuddles and attention, playing, or giving them space I will make sure to take my cues from your cat to make the visit as stress free for them as possible.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile. If you have any questions please feel free to message me. My main goal is to make this separation from your cat as stress free on your end as possible.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have had cats since I was eight years old, close to 30 years ago. I have cat sat for friends and neighbors on an informal basis. My main experience has been cat sitting my moms cat while she has been away. While I am not a formal cat sitter I have been taking care of cats basically my entire life.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a nine year old Maine Coon named Bo currently. He is the sweetest cuddliest cat you could imagine! Growing up I had always had cats. Currently, one of those childhood cats Frida still lives with my mom on the North Shore of Massachusetts. She definitely values her personal space. As such, I am practiced at different cat personalities.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

As someone who has used a cat sitter for my cat in the past I would suggest looking for someone who is communicative. I know for me when leaving my cat the regular communication from the sitter helped to relieve my anxiety.

We called Leigh in last minute when our usual cat sitter had a death in the family. She did great, and sent us updates with pictures each visit. She understood our shy kitty, and checked in on her without making her nervous (kitty is VERY skittish). Leigh also brought in packages, and took out our trash/recycling. Our kitties were in good hands!

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.

Belmont 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!
