I'm Tobie
Cat Sitting in Haverhill, MA
For the last 15 years I've volunteered at my local animal shelter,... I've had cats for over 40 years and love them. Cats are very special creatures (dogs and all other animals are great too). Right now I just have 1 kitty, George, and although he was feral now he loves to be brushed and petted. All my kitties have either come from shelters or I've found outside the house and taken in. Cats appeal to me because they are all so beautiful plus you have to earn their love and respect and I can appreciate that quality. Of course the super friendly kitties are great too.
For the last 15 years I've volunteered at my local animal shelter, working in the barn first (it's a farm), then dog walking, now cleaning cat cages and doing dog training. I'm comfortable with all animals but seem to have a special bond with cats, and I'm particularly good with shy kitties.
If you choose me to take care of your fur babies I will follow all your instructions completely, spend time with each of them playing and just hanging out and I'll check in with you as often as you would like. I know how stressful it can be to leave your kitties. I'm looking forward to meeting you and especially your "tiny tigers."
I'm fully vaccinated and have had all my booster shots. . I'm happy to wear a mask and gloves when I visit you for our meet and greet and to follow any other COVID or other safety measures you would like me to. I hope to meet you and your kitties soon!

Tobie was wonderful! She met Charlie and Luna before our short trip and made sure she had all the important info for both cats. She followed all instructions for feeding and even took care of litter which was so helpful. We will definitely book with her again.

Tobie did a great job taking care of our difficult kitties. She gave insulin shots to our diabetic shots and kept us informed when she was unable to give it. She left good notes and worked well with another sitter who did the evening shift!

Tobie was wonderful and it was easy to make the arrangements! She was able to get my super shy senior rescue out and even had both cats playing daily! She brought some extra toys that they played with and they are super fussy about food and toys... I got lots of update pictures and am so happy that I have someone to watch the cats now when I'm away.

Tobie was amazing with our 3 skittish cats. Every day we received an update on how they were doing and lots of photos to put our mind at ease. She knew just how to build trust with our cats and had them all playing happily by the end. And it was nice for the humans to come home to a house that smelled and looked as clean (probably cleaner) than we left it. We will definitely be contacting Tobie the next time we are away!

Very good first experience using Tobie. She actually got my 2 shy cats to come out and see her, which I never expected! She came with her bag of tricks and I felt very at ease knowing that they got attention from her while she was at our home. Highly recommend Tobie!

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.
Haverhill 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!

Tobie is amazing!! She is a very experienced and knowledgeable professional and I felt very comfortable leaving her in charge of my cat Salem. Salem can be shy upon meeting new people but Tobie is a cat whisperer and very quickly charmed her into a fast friendship. I couldn't believe how quickly Salem warmed up to Tobie, trusting her and becoming affectionate. Tobie comes to the job very prepared, offers timely and informative responses when communicating and regularly sent me fun photo updates. She provided an excellent level of service but more than that - it is very obvious that she truly cares for the animals she looks after. I was very comfortable with Tobie and feel relieved to know that I have options when I travel in the future. I would be happy to provide a reference for her at any time and will cross my fingers that she is available for my next trip!

Tobie saved the day and we felt so comfortable with our cats in her care.

She also helped out with our hamster, it was very appreciated and we will book again!! ❤️

Tobie was phenomenal! She went above and beyond to meet my (and my fur babies) needs. This was my first time going away and leaving my girls, but Tobie made me feel so much better and my girls absolutely loved her. She even got my shy girl out from under the bed on her second visit! I highly recommend Tobie and will be sure to use her services every time we go away. Thank you so much, Tobie!!! :)

Tobie is great. She understands cats. She knew how to check on my shy cats and lure them out but also respected when they wanted to hide and feel safe. she got my shyest cat to come out of hiding and hang out on only her 2nd visit. No cat sitter has done that before. She is detailed oriented. Too many dog sitters caring for cats go for a cat expert!

I hadn't left my cats overnight since adopting them and I was incredibly nervous to do so because of how much they had bonded to me, but no one else. They even hide from me sometimes if they get spooked. Enter Tobie. She is incredible. I noticed on her profile she had experience with shy cats, which was an immediate green flag. She came to our meet & greet with a notepad and asked really thoughtful questions and what did it for me was she said she always lets cats come to her in their own time. I knew I was in good hands. Tobie came by twice a day for a long weekend fully prepared to never see my cats, but always hopeful they make poke out. By the end of her time with us, she had both boys out of hiding and even got my less-shy-guy playing with toys. She was always responsive via text, and went above and beyond to take care of my babies. She is 100% the sitter for you.

Tobie was wonderful. We have a cat with medication needs and this is the first time we’ve gone away since starting her meds, so we were understandably hesitant. Tobie was patient and worked with our cats to get her medication done, and sent us pictures of the cats, which helped to ease our concerns.

Amazing experience. Tobie was so good with my little guy, sent long updates and many pictures. I could tell she truly loves cats and knows what they need. She was also amazing during our meet and greet. My dogs were being absolutely manic, and she dealt with it calmly and professionally. She was gentle with my cat and was very observant of his boundaries and comfort level. I hope very much that I will get to work with her again!

The reservation went overall very well and out kitty loved the extra attention she gave Socks a blind 17 yr old DSH. Toby was great to follow directions and kept me informed daily with a photo of Socks and asked any questions to make the visits with him a treasure. Very professional and caring.

Tobie is an awesome pet sitter. She is officially my cat whisperer as she got my very shy kitties to come out & play each day while we were away! I'm still amazed. I truly appreciated her daily texts & photo updates. That meant so much to me to know they were doing well. We came back to very relaxed and happy kitties when they normally are stressed. I've already booked her for our next trip in June. So grateful to have found her!

Tobie did a great job with our two cats while we were away for about a week. They are not used to having us gone so they had trouble adjusting at first, but as the week went on they grew more comfortable with her. Tobie was in daily contact with us while we were away to keep us updated on how the cats were doing, providing photos, and asking for guidance for how to proceed in individual situations. We really appreciated how communicative she was throughout the process. When we got home there were no surprises, just two cats happy to see their owners again! We will definitely work with Tobie again the next time we go out of town.

Tobie is the most amazing Cat Sitter. Before Tobie, we only interested in our cats to my beloved mother who is now passed. Tobie made me feel assured and I never had a moments worry. She even had a day with a flat tire and still was able to make it happen to see our cats, no matter what. Tobie is a gem and we are so fortunate!!

Very interactive with my kitties, job done well, lots of updates, kitties were all happy when I returned and not standoffish (which they can be when we've had a pet sitter). I think they felt comfortable and happy in her care. I would absolutely book her for my next time away.
