Claudia's Boston Kitty-Cat Care

I'm Claudia

Cat Sitting in Boston, MA

Hi there! 🐈💕

My name is Claudia and I’ve owned my rescue Russian Blue, Augie, for almost four years now. (peep the pictures for a full view of my beloved baby)

He’s home now with my parents in California while I’m a full-time university student at Emerson College in Boston's theatre district. My school overlooks the Boston Commons and is right on the green, red, and orange lines for easy transport! I’m majoring in political communications but still have a structured and open schedule.

My Passion for Cats:😸
I cat sit not only because I miss my kitty but because I understand the stress of leaving your feline best friend behind. I know that trusting someone new is scary, but I want to assure you that I put my full effort and energy into everything I do and that your kitty will receive the most premium care so that both you and your kitty are less stressed while you have to be away...

Qualifications: ✅🐈🐈
I have experience taking care of friends' and family’s cats in California as well as administering medicine to my own and other cats. I joined Meowtel in the summer of 2023 to continue cat-sitting in Boston. Not to mention that I've had my cat Augie for over three years and am an avid kitty blogger consumer.

Personal Info:👩🏼‍⚖️🙌
If you want to know more about me, I grew up in a small beach town in San Clemente, California. I played volleyball competitively, was on my student body, and was an extremely devoted student. I enjoy reading, doing Pilates, and painting in my free time; and of course, playing with my cat!!

Book me today as your cat sitter and we can begin communicating on how I can fulfill your kitty's unique needs💜💜🐾

Learn More About Claudia

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

I began cat-sitting with Meowtel in the summer of 2023 before my freshman year of college. Before that, I sat for friends and family and cared for my own kitty 24/7. I took to cat sitting very quickly and have already learned so much about bonding with the cats, sending detailed text updates, and taking the BEST photos. I know how to get cats to play whether they prefer mouse-like, bird-like, or other toys. How to earn their trust, and figure out their preferred petting methods whether it's head scratches, cheek rubs, butt pats, and more! My years of experience have equipped me to care for every breed and personality of Cat, and I always do extra research before the reservation😁😁

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

Pick a cat sitter who cares about your cat's needs the way you do. I always match my clients' energy and give their cats the same above-and-beyond care they would usually provide for them. Look for fast response times and ample communication as well as a flexible schedule. I also think the quality of the photos on my page reflects my eye for cat photography, I've been told by multiple clients that my photos are top notch which helps when you're away from your beloved kitty-cat and missing them so much!

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

I love working with new clients and getting to know a new kitty, that's why I offer a 15% off discount for first-time clients! 💸 Typically, I'll reach out right after you book and we'll schedule a meet and greet in the week before the reservation. At the meet and greet we'll go over feeding, water, litter clean up and how to care for your kitty. I love hearing their favorite toys, favorite scratch spots, and how to make your cat the happiest they can be. We will exchange keys, set up our communication and my visit times based on your preferences, and make a plan for the key drop. Then I will take amazing care of your kitty, giving you detailed updates and lots of amazing photos. If your cat has any favorite toys like tissue paper or string I love bringing that along with me as well!

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love a wand toy! I find I can always get a kitty interested and it brings out their hunting instincts while stimulating their attention after a lot of time alone. If you don't have any I'll ask to bring some of my own along so that your kitty gets lots of great playtime while they're missing you!!

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

First things first I always take my shoes off. I don't want to track in dirt to anyone's house and I also don't want to scare the kitty! I like to sit on the floor by the door and put my hands out so they can come to me. This establishes that our relationship happens on their terms. I also try to feed them or offer treats early on so they can associate me with food. With one particularly anxious kitty, I moved in slow motion for the entire reservation since they were scared of sudden movements. I tend to sit on the floor and let them come to me but most of all I let the cat decide what they want. I am their employee and am completely committed to making them happy, comfortable, and cared for!!

Claudia has sat for my cat Fate several times before, but this was the first time she took care of my new feral boy, and he likes her better than me!! I was shocked and pleased he even showed his face so I'm very grateful for Claudia's wonderful care. She gives the best updates, photos and videos too. My older cat loves her. The old gal requires complex meds mixed into her food and Claudia handles it perfectly. I trust her with my precious kitties.

I would give Claudia 10 stars if I could. In my 20+ years of having cats as part of my family, I've used countless cat sitters, and. I can honestly say that Claudia has been the best one that I've ever had. I was in a tough spot where I was going away and needed someone last minute, and Claudia was able to come over for the meet and greet that night. She gave incredible updates multiple times a day with pictures and videos, and it actually allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing she had everything under control. She went above and beyond with so many small things, like grabbing a package and watering my plants. I can't speak highly enough about her, would recommend her 100 times out of 100.

Claudia is the perfect cat sitter! She followed every request I had, sent me detailed updates about her visits with my cat, along with many photos. She went out of her way to explore what type of play & petting my cat preferred, and also insisted on doing extra things to make sure my house stayed in good condition (like taking the poo to the outdoor trash). Thanks Claudia!

Claudia was amazing!!! We had a last minute reservation since our cat got prescribed some meds the day before we were leaving on a trip, and she really stepped up with above and beyond stellar care and detail! She sent plenty of photo updates and left me super reassured that our kitty was in great hands. Our usually standoffish cat seemed to LOVE her, a testament to her level of care and sweetness offered :) We will def book her again if the need arises 🩷

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!
