Cat Sitting in Jamaica Plain, MA

I'm a lifelong cat lover, with two little monsters of my own! Your furry friend is bound to be missing you while you're gone, but I'll do everything I can to tide them over in the meantime. I'm experienced with everything from kittens to elderly cats, and from cuddlebugs to shy or standoffish pals.

I'm a lifelong cat lover, with two little monsters of my own! Your furry friend is bound to be missing you while you're gone, but I'll do everything I can to tide them over in the meantime. I'm experienced with everything from kittens to elderly cats, and from cuddlebugs to shy or standoffish pals.

I'm comfortable administering most kinds of medication, and feel strongly about making sure cats have adequate mental stimulation while their owners are away. There's always time for more play during a sit!

If you're in Boston and need someone to help keep your buddy happy, healthy, and safe while you're away, give me a ring!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Give yourself time! It helps to meet with sitters and ask them questions so that you can feel 100% confident when you're away. Pet sitting involves a tremendous amount of trust, and you should always prioritize your own comfort when choosing a sitter.

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

I like to arrange time for a meet and greet first and foremost, to make sure everyone is on the same page on logistical info, and to start the trust building process -- both human-to-human and human-to-cat! I have a list of questions to make sure I get answered prior to any sit, to ensure the best experience possible.

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

It's important to go slow with anxious cats, and to pay very close attention to how they respond to you. I might not be able to play with them on initial sits, but instead spend time sitting with them and allowing them to get used to my presence and my scent, for example.

We just got back and we’re still smiling at the photo updates we received! SO CUTE! Kelsey seriously went above and beyond with our little crew! Two highlights that genuinely blew us away: she managed to spot AND get a photo of Mac, our shyest guy who almost no one outside my husband and I ever sees. And Roux, our anxious girl who typically hides and stress-spirals when we're gone, was actually hanging around and comfortable enough to be photographed. That is HUGE for us and says everything about the calm, patient energy she brought to our home. Goomba and Wednesday had a blast and LOVED play/treat time! The communication was easy and relaxed the whole time. We never felt like we were bothering her with questions, and the updates came naturally without us having to chase them down. It made the trip so much more enjoyable knowing everyone was genuinely okay. We will absolutely be booking her again. Our cats are already looking forward to it :) THANK YOU!

I highly recommend Kelsey. She's warm and fun. She playedwith my kitties, even made friends with the one who is usually held back. She had no problem administering insulin. Sends pictures every visit.

Kelsey was great! She was phenomenal with my shy cats who warmed right up to her. Based on the excellent daily photos, Kelsey might not even believe me that they are shy. Kelsey shared an update and photo of each cat every day. Kelsey has great cat skills, great communication skills, and I felt very comfortable having her in my home to take care of my cats who are my babies. I am very grateful!

Kelsey is absolutely delightful — I’m so glad I found her to take care of our little girl while we were traveling! For a first-time cat owner, her daily updates and pictures/videos really eased my anxiety about leaving our kitty at home and brightened my day every time — it was so wonderful to see our girl having so much fun playing with her while we were away. As a bonus, Kelsey was an MVP doing an emergency clean-up after our cat made a mess one of the days we were gone (I was mortified, but Kelsey is an abslute gem). We will absolutely continue booking Kelsey to hang out with our kitty whenever we are out of town! ☺️

Kelsey was commutative, caring, and dependable for our four cats! She was even able to charm our “ghost” kitten who hides at the smallest suggestion of a stranger. The multiple photos and videos was comforting while we were away. Thank you for your loving care for our critters.

Kelsey again took such good care of my cats - such peace of mind for me while traveling. She made good friends with my shyest cats and provides thoughtful updates (very well written, I might add) that shows she understands and cares about them. I am very grateful!

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.

Jamaica Plain 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!
