Learn More About Alex

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have three cats, an orange tabby named Rory, a brown tabby named Maurice, and a gray and white tuxedo named Mac!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

Starting off with a meet and greet so I can meet the cats and owner and get a rundown for their routines. I like to discuss their feeding schedules, any medications, what the cats personality is like, etc.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I've always found great success with feathers on a wand toy, with the right swishing technique it can be irresistible to a cat!

This was the second time we had Alex watch our boys (the first time I didn’t realize I had 14 days to review 🤣) - both times were perfect. They were so good with the boys - I was so happy to see the progress of our skittish boy staying out and letting them pet him as the week progressed! Super easy to schedule and contact both before and during. The photos you’ll get while you’re away will also be top notch 👌🏻We will definitely be reaching out for alll our future cat sitting needs - thank you Alex!

My partner and I went on a trip and were very nervous to leave our two cats for the first time. Luckily, we found Alex who helped us feel safe and secure that our cats were being well taken care of. They visited every day and made sure to send updates. Our cats loved them and the play time/pets they got :). Any time we need a cat sitter again we will definitely reach out to Alex, and I highly recommend them!

Alex is my top choice for taking care of any cat - especially shy or difficult to read cats. His extensive experience and natural cat charisma make him an excellent cat-sitter. He is conscientious and a pro at administering medications and following complex instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Jamaica Plain 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 $30.00. 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.
