Learn More About Cynthia

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

I have been cat/pet and house sitting off and on since 2014. My clients were consistent and I have never had a negative experience.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 2 rescue cats named Lilith (mama) and Rudo (baby). They both came home with eye infections and we spent the first few weeks building trust between vet visits, medication, and gentle pets.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am almost always in or around the Boston/Cambridge area during the holidays and would love to hang out with your cat(s) for a short visit or overnight! 😻

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

I do my best to make sure that I am quiet and move at their pace to make them feel safe on their terms. I’ll sometimes get down on their level, speak softly, let them approach me, and offer a hand to sniff or offer a treat as a friendly gesture. If they don’t want to get close, I give them space to remind them that they are in control.

Cynthia was perfect during the holidays with my two cats. They both tend to be nervous around new people, but Cynthia was able to address their daily needs and administer their medication during her visits without any trouble. She is also extremely professional and versatile, as she was able to quickly adjust to changes in my scheduling needs.

Cynthia is incredibly nurturing, calm, and dependable. She has a natural way with animals and always goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe and cared for. She keeps you updated, communicates clearly, and handles any situation with patience and a fix-it mindset. You can tell she genuinely loves what she does, and pets respond to her warmth and gentle energy. I would absolutely trust her with any of my furry friends.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dorchester cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Cat sitters on Meowtel offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so you can find the best options which are close by.

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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit typically includes the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
