I'm Kindred
Cat Sitting in Boston, MA
At work, I care for people. I also love to care for cats. I love cats and most love me also.
My first introduction to kitty care was when my neighbor's kittens, Ben and Jerry, adopted my house. Each day I made sure they were well fed. We had lots of fun in my large yard.
Later on, I adopted a lovely cat named Sybil, who came along with my new apartment. At first, she was a little shy, but soon we were inseparable. She always had food, clean water, and two clean litter boxes. Daily we played all the time... Hi,
At work, I care for people. I also love to care for cats. I love cats and most love me also.
My first introduction to kitty care was when my neighbor's kittens, Ben and Jerry, adopted my house. Each day I made sure they were well fed. We had lots of fun in my large yard.
Later on, I adopted a lovely cat named Sybil, who came along with my new apartment. At first, she was a little shy, but soon we were inseparable. She always had food, clean water, and two clean litter boxes. Daily we played all the time. Sybil was a housecat but after about a month of slow introductions to outside, she made the adventure outdoors and loved it. We also ran around our yard and played with toys such as balls and a cotton fish on a stick. I always supervised Sybil on her outdoor adventures and made sure that she did not hurt any birds. We became best friends!
Throughout my life, there were many other kittens and cats that instantly loved me, such as my roommate's cats and community/semi-feral cats that I feed or ensure are fed daily.
I would love to cat sit and care for your kitty as playing with them will ultimately enrich both of our lives. :)

Kindred was fantastic! She took excellent care of our two cats while we were out of town for an entire week. She sent us daily reports, photos and videos, which were greatly appreciated and reassuring. We felt extremely comfortable trusting Kindred with our precious kitties and will hire her again!

Kindred is the consummate professional—responsive, thorough, and accommodating, not to mention kind. While she was watching my cat, she sent me detailed daily updates, photos and videos, and even tidied up the place after she left. I felt I could relax on my trip knowing that Kindred was looking after my cat. I cannot recommend Kindred’s cat-sitting services enough.

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!

Kindred was absolutely awesome! She got a very picky cat to like her in no time at all. She’s also super responsive. Highly recommend.
