I'm Lukas
Cat Sitting in Dorchester, MA
As a cat parent myself, I know it can be stressful having to leave your cat while you’re away, which is why I strive to make both you and your cat as comfortable as possible during my time with them... I’m Luke, a cat dad of two and a volunteer at The Cat Connection shelter in Brighton. I’ve always had an innate connection with animals, and I adopted my own bonded pair of cats Lucy and Gru in 2021. I also have several years of experience caring for cats of a variety of ages, personalities and medical needs, from friends, family, clients, and cats living in shelters. For me, caring for cats isn’t just a job, it brings me joy and I feel lucky I get to spend my time doing this!
As a cat parent myself, I know it can be stressful having to leave your cat while you’re away, which is why I strive to make both you and your cat as comfortable as possible during my time with them. I am communicative with owners both before your departure and throughout each stay and make sure to send over daily photos of your kitty. Whether your cat loves play time and needs plenty of attention or prefers to keep to themself, I try my best to make sure all cats feel at ease while I care for them. I find that I’m good at reading cats and respecting their boundaries, which makes a huge difference in ensuring a positive experience with a sitter.
I have experience administering a variety of medications, including capsules/pills, ear and eye ointments, and oral liquid medication.
I currently work part-time, which leaves me with flexible availability throughout most of the day for drop-in visits and plenty of weekend availability. I love to ride my bike, which is how I primarily get around, so I’m open to traveling throughout most of the Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, and Somerville area. I hope I get the chance to meet your kitty soon!

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve had my kitties Lucy and Gru for over 4 years since I adopted them in 2021. They were just 4 months old when I got them, and I got to experience caring for them as high-energy kittens and watching them transition into adulthood. Gru is an orange boy, so I have seen plenty of cat shenanigans! I’ve taken care of numerous cats belonging to family and friends, and I’ve been working with professional cat-sitting clients since 2024. I also became a volunteer at The Cat Connection shelter in Brighton last year, which involves looking after multiple cats during each shift. Nearly every time I go in to volunteer there are new arrivals and I get to meet new cats there all the time, which has allowed me to get more experience with cats of differing ages and medical needs.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two cats, a bonded pair of siblings named Lucy and Gru. (Yes, like Gru from Despicable Me). Unlike his sister who is gray and white, Gru is an orange guy and definitely acts like it. He’s very silly, and they both brighten up my life so much. I’ve been lucky enough to have them with me since they were 4 month old kittens, and now they will be turning 5 soon!
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I always come over for a free meet and greet prior to a new booking. I will ask a few questions about your cat and how to best care for them. I like to take notes for myself so nothing important gets forgotten. I always welcome questions from cat parents both before meeting up and during this time to make sure any of your concerns are addressed prior to your departure, so you can enjoy your time away while knowing your cat is in good hands.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I am almost always available for holiday bookings unless otherwise indicated! My family is local so it's pretty easy for me to still see them on holidays and also have time for drop in visits.

Lukas was great with Lumi! She warmed up to him almost immediately, which made us feel very comfortable leaving her in his care. He was punctual and sent prompt updates whenever he arrived and finished a visit, along with lots of photos. He followed Lumi’s feeding instructions carefully and kept the kitchen and feeding area very clean and organized. We would definitely have Lukas take care of Lumi again and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and punctual cat sitter.

Lukas did amazing with our two cats while we were on vacation for a little over a week. He sent pics/updates every time he fed them. Mini takes meds with her food and he took care of all of that as well. It was our first trip being away from them for so long. Lukas was very professional and organized so we didn’t worry at all, especially after the meet and greet and all the questions he had for us to make sure everything was clear and would go smoothly. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our kitties were in good hands!!! Would definitely recommend him to any of our friends who may need a cat sitter in the future.

Luke did a wonderful job with Ringo. He gave us regular reports and lots of photos. He notified us when he was running late one day and monitored Ringo's food intake. The biggest endorsement comes from our shy cat who quickly learned to trust him and come out for attention. We will not hesitate to hire Luke again and recommend him highly.

Lukas was lovely watching my cat Casper over a holiday weekend. I was especially worried about how Casper would fair during a heat wave and Lukas took proactive steps to ensure Casper’s comfort (rebooting my AC) and updating me on his behavior and demeanor. 10/10 would book again!

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.
Dorchester cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $32.00. 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!

I highly recommend Lukas! He watched our kitty while we were away for a long weekend, and knowing that he was taking care of her brought us so much comfort. He sent regular updates, spent time with her, sent pictures, and was overall fantastic!

Luke is an excellent sitter! Setting up visits is no problem as he's easy to communicate with and attentive to detail. He's always reliable and on time, and patient with my sometimes less-than personable cat. I've never had an issue with him following my directions as instructed, and will continue to hire him as long as he'll come!

We have two cats, Willow and Cleo, that we had to leave at home for an extra long weekend (5 days) and Lukas was there to care for them. Lukas came by daily to feed them and spend time with them and take care of other cat maintenance issues (liter box, water fountain, etc.) and when we returned home all was well and the cats were very happy. One of our cats is even very skittish and Lukas was able to connect with her and keep her happy as well. Lukas was great in all aspects of this. There was great communication before, during, and afterwards. Lukas made sure to come by beforehand to meet the cats and go over where things were. We received updates during our trip on how the cats were doing, and we were easily able to close the loop afterwards. Lukas is very trustworthy with having access to our home as well as taking wonderful care of our cats. We won't hesitate having Lukas care for Willow and Cleo again in the future, and our two cats would certainly be happy to see Lukas again!
