I'm Zaina
Cat Sitting in Concord, MA
I take ti... Hi there! I’m a lifelong cat lover who truly understands that every cat is unique and deserves care tailored to their personality and needs. Whether your kitty is shy and needs space, playful and full of energy, or just wants a warm lap and a quiet companion, I’m here to make sure they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while you're away.
I take time to build trust with each cat—never rushing, always observing, and letting them set the pace. I follow your routine closely, give thoughtful attention to their habits and preferences, and send regular updates so you can rest easy knowing your cat is in kind, capable hands.
Let me give your feline family member the comfort and care they deserve!
Learn More About Zaina
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
My typical process is to start off with a short phone or video call to get to know more about the owner, their cat, and their expectations for me as a sitter to see if we are a good fit! To enhance the experience for all parties involved(especially the kitty), I would love to know the their daily routine(feeding times, types of food and medication they take, emergency contacts such as vets, relevant protocols, etc).
What is your favorite cat toy?
I love the feather wand cat you! My cat goes crazy playing and chasing after it, and it helps get him some excerise time(especially since he is indoor only). The one precaution I take is making sure my cat doesn’t chew or eat on the feather to avoid any choking hazards.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
When I first got my cat, he was a scared little thing who had been moving from place to place due to his owners instability, therefore making him very anxious and scared. I used the 3-3-3 rule for him, which is 3 days to decompress(in a designated room), 3 weeks to learn our routines and also develop his own since he never had a stable one, and 3 months to start feeling at home(especially since he moved around so much prior). Who he is now as a cat is vastly different from how he started, which is a much more social, active, and friendly feline! Because of my experience with him, I believe I will successfully be able to interact with cats of this nature :)

Zaina did a great job with Efraim. She is familiar with cats who need meds, particularly heart meds. She came over to meet him and took a lot of notes. She understands that a boy like ours who is blind and takes time to get acquainted needs you to just sit so he can come to you. I have confidence that he will warm up to her over time. We will definitely have her sit with him again.

Zaina was a perfect caregiver for our two very shy young cats for the ten days we were away. We enjoyed her updates and photos (which put our minds at ease). she is a treasure.

We had a last minute booking and Zaina was wonderful! She quickly scheduled a meet and greet and was flexible when we also extended another day on our trip. Our cats are quite timid and Zaina was patient and took such great care of them.

Super easy and friendly! Zaina did a great job with our cat and I felt like we were in responsible hands from the beginning. She was quick to offer a FaceTime meeting and that made me immediately comfortable. Thank you for squeezing us in during a busy holiday time!

Zaina was amazing! We needed last minute care for our two cats and Zaina was able to come meet them on short notice and took wonderful care of our babies. One of our cats has asthma and needs an inhaler twice a day, and Zaina expertly administered it for him. She was delightful, kind and easy to talk to! 10/10

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.
Concord cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
