I'm Brenda
Cat Sitting in Lynn, MA
I am also an aunt to 3 other kitties that live in my home, all in different life stages. There's never a shortage of kitties at my house!
I have extensive experience with all cat personalities, from the ultra shy and skiddish to the super confident. I've cared for cats of all ages and have even fostered mom... I am a cat mom to 3 beautiful fur babies that I've had since they were all kittens, the oldest of whom is going on 18 years!

I have extensive experience with all cat personalities, from the ultra shy and skiddish to the super confident. I've cared for cats of all ages and have even fostered momma cats and their babies.
I also have experience with finicky cats and can administer all kinds of medications, including subcutaneously (under the skin). My oldest has been dealing with kidney disease for several years now, so I'm very familiar with medication regiments and specific dietary restrictions.
I've pet sit for many of my friends over the years and would love to continue meeting and caring for some new feline friends!
Learn More About Brenda
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 3 cats of my own: Tinkerbell, a grey tabby that is going on 18 years. She's the old lady of the house. Lily, an all white double pawed 12 year old sassy pants that most definitely has middle child syndrome And finally Garfield, a 10 year old orange tabby that lives up to his namesake' reputation. I also have 3 additional cat nephews and nieces, all of whom make my life so full and I would have it no other way.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! Because I live with extended family, I am usually available to pet sit during those busy times of the year, unless I am traveling for work or other responsibilities.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
The first introduction is very important especially for shy or skiddish kitties. I try to get down closer to the floor to avoid overpowering them, and ease into the meet and greet process. I either sit near them or for those who are a little braver, I'll extend my hand out slowly to allow them to smell me at their own pace. Avoiding and sudden movements or loud noises is also key. And a couple of treats never hurt (unless the owner prefers not to offer them to their cats)

Brenda was very communicative and took great care of Artemis. She’s usually very shy with new people but she was clearly happy and comfortable in the pictures Brenda sent daily. I will definitely reach out to Brenda again next time I need someone to look after Artemis.

It was my very first time leaving my cat with a petsitter, so I was quite nervous. Brenda was incredibly communicative and took great care of Eevee. I received photos and updates every day, which gave me so much peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust her again.

Brenda was amazing! She arrived on time every day to care for my two fur babies 🐱. One of them, Mijita, needed medication, and Brenda handled it perfectly. She’s super friendly and kept us updated on everything she did for the cats. I’ll definitely be booking her again for all our future cat-sitting needs!

Brenda was amazing! One of my girls is very shy, so much so I barely see her. Brenda asked more than once if there was anything special she could do or places she should be look for Peggy. I've had another sitter in the past but Brenda is on another level with the care she gave while I was away!

Brenda was absolutely fantastic. Her communication was crystal clear throughout the whole experience. Brenda was thoughtful, thorough, and detail oriented, and when I didn’t get back to her in time to answer a time-sensitive question, her decision showed that intuition was right on. She and Goose (my protective orange cat) got closer to each other over the weekend, and the photos of Goose at the end really showed that Brenda had taken the time to get to know him and had respected his boundaries in a way that he felt safe around her. Brenda is clearly an experienced professional, and I highly recommend her pet-sitting services! I will be booking her again very soon!

Brenda is a fantastic cat sitter! She got my shy boy to come out of his shell and enjoy play time all weekend. She was also able to give my sassy little tyrant her oral meds without issue.

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.
Lynn 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!

Brenda fostered my cat Dusty when he was a kitten. He was born with a birth defect called "Swimmer Syndrome" and took very good care of him by wrapping his little legs every day to make sure they developed straight. He is now 5 years old and you would never know he had a birth defect.
