Cat Sitting in Boston, MA
I'm Shruti, meowma to three sassy rescues: Rihanna, Mona, and Diya. My girls are the loves of my life and I would never leave them in just anyone's hands (paws). If you're on Meowtel, I know you're the same way!
I've taken care of neighbor's cats and loved it so much I decided to create a cat sitter profile so I could spread the cuddles! I always include photos (I really only got portrait mode to take photos of my cats... Hi there!

I've taken care of neighbor's cats and loved it so much I decided to create a cat sitter profile so I could spread the cuddles! I always include photos (I really only got portrait mode to take photos of my cats), and visit overviews, and am happy to provide immediate updates during visits if preferred. My cats ate dry food and canned wet food before transitioning to a raw diet, so I'm comfortable with it all!
I'm currently in Beacon Hill and work business hours so visits outside of the area will likely be in the evening! Feel free to reach out if you're nearby and we'll see if your location is manageable!
Blessings & Biscuits,
Shruti

Second time with Shruti and she continues to win over my cats! I have a very shy cat who gets excited whenever Shruti comes over with her treats - which is the highest praise!

We were so nervous trying to find a new cat sitter for our boys during the holidays, and stumbled upon Shruti’s profile. She immediately seemed like the perfect fit and even took time out of her personal life to come meet the boys. Since that meet and great, we never looked back and Shruti was simply amazing! She cared for our kitties like they were her own and we felt so comfortable being away. We got so many wonderful updates and photos, and the cats even got to try new treats and foods she brought over. We couldn’t recommend her more!

I have used Meowtel to book a number of different sitters (based on availability), and while they've all been good I have to so that Shruti is really above and beyond wonderful! She was flexible with my schedule to meet and greet, and was very attentive to what needs my cat might have. Then during each visit I could really tell how much my cat loved hanging out with her, and appreciated hearing that Shruti genuinely enjoyed my little cat as well. Once all of her assigned days were completed, Shruti took the extra step to ensure that everything was set for my return and that my cat would be ok in the meantime as it turned out to be an unusually hot day in NYC. She really cares about my cats well-being and comfort, and I will absolutely be booking with her again!

Shruti was absolutely wonderful throughout! She clearly loves and has tons of experience with cats. She took great care of my elderly kitty, including feeding her medication every day, and sent lots of updates with photos and videos. I knew my girl was in great hands while I was away. Highly recommend!

Highly recommend Shruti! She was a great friend to my two kitties while I was out of town. I have one kitty who is blind and another who is a bit shy and Shruti was able to befriend them both with treats, pets, and playing. She is also great about sending updates and cute photos.

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.
Boston 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!

Shruti was amazing with my two fur babies. I did not feel guilty for one minute while I was away because she sent videos and pictures of her playing and hanging out with them. They seemed very happy and comfortable around her. I will be using Shruti's services again! :)

Shruti goes above and beyond. She genuinely cares about the fur babies she’s looking after, but she’s also thoughtful in looking out for your home. She brought treats, and my snobbish cats took to her sweet demeanor. I loved all the updates she sent as well—it made it easier to be away from my cats!

Shruti is hands down THE BEST! My cat adored her from the second she walked in and I immediately knew he was going to be in good hands, especially during a stressful period of environmental changes for him. Her updates and videos were thorough, amazing, & absolutely hilarious. Highly recommend her!!

We just moved to the area and needed someone last minute to watch our baby boy (Mookie Roo) on a trip out of town. We came across Shruti’s profile, and she looked like a great fit. We scheduled a visit, and right off the bat, she was professional, kind, and knowledgeable. She even brought treats for Mookie, who took a liking to her almost immediately. Shruti sent many pictures, videos, and text updates during the stay. Knowing Mookie was doing well and in great hands made our trip much easier. We would definitely like to work with Shruti again! Sincerely, Micah, McKenzie, and Mookie Roo

Shruti was incredible and totally made our vacation better knowing our cat was in the best’s hands!! It’s clear Shruti truly loves cats and really connected with our cat who is normally very shy. We will absolutely be asking Shruti to cat sit the next time we’re away - could not appreciate her more!

Shruti was an incredible sitter! She was extremely thorough, asked all the right questions, sent the most adorable updates- I could tell my shy Philip was extremely at ease with her! As we’re new cat owners, she took the extra step of sending a lot of helpful info. I would absolutely recommend her!
