Cat Sitting in Brighton, MA

*I have currently closed my availability for a bit as I start a new job, but if you are interested in booking, please either message me or text me (978-429-6760) and I can try to work something out!! 😸*

Hi everyone!

My name is Leah and I am an avid cat lover! I have grown up with cats my whole life and currently have one adorable fluffy black cat named Maki (like the sushi roll)! She was not very socialized (very shy and would hide under my bed) when I adopted her, so I am very knowledgeable in care for shy/timid cats! I am constantly surrounded by cats, whether it is at my own home, or a friend's house, and I always go out of my way to give them pets, treats, and/or cuddles! I have also volunteered at a few different animal shelters...

Hi everyone!

My name is Leah and I am an avid cat lover! I have grown up with cats my whole life and currently have one adorable fluffy black cat named Maki (like the sushi roll)! She was not very socialized (very shy and would hide under my bed) when I adopted her, so I am very knowledgeable in care for shy/timid cats! I am constantly surrounded by cats, whether it is at my own home, or a friend's house, and I always go out of my way to give them pets, treats, and/or cuddles! I have also volunteered at a few different animal shelters over the years, so I have gotten used to caring for cats of all kinds and in different settings!

I currently work in biotech, but I am exploring other options as I am not sure what I want to do as a long term career. Cat sitting might be a great gateway into the animal world and maybe a great career!

I currently live in Brighton and work in Cambridge, but I have a car, so I can access areas of the Greater Boston area!

Growing up with cats and also having experience volunteering at animal shelters, I can bring a lot of cat knowledge to the table including knowledge of cat body language, medication administration (oral, topical, and ear/eye), basic cat care and more! I have observed administration of subcutaneous fluids and injections before at a shelter I volunteered at and I am a quick learner, so if need be I can learn to administer that as well!

Overall, I am a very organized person with great communication skills and a huge passion for cats! I would love to cat sit for any type of cat out there, so please reach out if you feel like I would be a good fit! :)

This was my first time using a cat sitter and I was a bit anxious (especially considering one of the cats is currently receiving medication). Leah was fantastic! She took such good care of them; providing daily detailed updates and the best photos/videos. She was responsive and handled my “anxious cat mom” questions/directions with grace! I look forward to booking her again!! 🐾🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐾

My cat is old and has medical issues, so I feel very anxious leaving her alone. Leah was such a joy to work with-- she sends incredibly detailed updates complete with videos and pictures, all of which relieved my anxiety. She managed my cat's medication extremely well and also provided symptom-specific updates so I did not worry about her health. Incredible sitter I definitely plan to use again!

Leah was amazing! Our anxious little guy came right out to play at every visit and clearly felt very comfortable and safe with Leah. She also provided detailed updated and lots of photos/videos after every visit, which was much appreciated! We had never used a cat sitter in general so we weren’t quite sure what to expect but Leah went above and beyond our expectations and we would absolutely ask her to sit for Benji again in the future!

2nd time reserving Leah! She is one of the best cat sitters I've had, and does a great job with my long-hair kitty, including lots of daily brushing! You can tell she genuinely loves kitties. She also has strong attention to details as well as gives thoughtful updates. I'm really able to focus on my vacations knowing my kitty is being looked after by Leah. I'm hopeful to reserve again!

Leah and my shy senior became friends within minutes! She was so great with updates, taking care of my kitty's medication, and spending quality time together. Within one visit I got videos of the kit kat rolling over for bellyrubs - I'm starting to think I should be jealous! Thanks again, Leah!

We’re so glad to have had Leah look after our cats this past week! She sent detailed updates each morning complete with photos and videos, and our cats loved to play with her- they were already starting to wait for her by the door after her first few visits. They have a somewhat complicated feeding routine, but she nailed it, and she always responded within minutes when we needed to get in touch. Thank you Leah!

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.

Brighton 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!
