Cat Sitting in Medford, MA
I’m Shannon and I’m a loving cat mom to my 2 wonderful kitties Lucio and Leonora. My favorite part of my day is getting to play and hang out with my cats. Another favorite pastime of mine is hanging out with other people’s cats! I love to meet new cats and learn their unique personalities. If a cat wants to chill we can chill, and if a cat wants to play we can play as long as they want.

I’m Shannon and I’m a loving cat mom to my 2 wonderful kitties Lucio and Leonora. My favorite part of my day is getting to play and hang out with my cats. Another favorite pastime of mine is hanging out with other people’s cats! I love to meet new cats and learn their unique personalities. If a cat wants to chill we can chill, and if a cat wants to play we can play as long as they want.
My two kitties both have health conditions that have required special vet diets as well as medication at times. I feel comfortable giving liquid medication and make sure to be as gentle and patient as possible when giving medication. I’m not the most experienced with medications in pill form (my kitties are not good about it at all even when trying the pill pockets) but I’m working on getting better with it!
I’m known to my friends and family as a cat lady and wear that badge proudly! Whenever people need someone to check in on or catsit, I will always volunteer to help out however I can.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
My favorite part is getting to meet and hang out with all the cute kitties! Every cat has their own unique personality and I love to learn all their little quirks and make them happy :)
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Lucio is my 10 year old Bombay male cat and he made me a cat mom! We’ve had him for over 5 years now and he’s a big gentle giant who loves to play. He has had urinary issues in the past but after having surgery and being on a special vet diet he’s been healthy for the last 4 years! Leo is the newest addition to the family and she’s a 2 year old tuxedo cat. She’s the sweetest most gentle girl but when she plays she goes hard! When we got her she had stomach issues and after a lot of back and forth visits to the hospital we now have her on a special vet diet and she’s been getting stronger and stronger since.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I can totally relate to being shy and anxious especially when meeting new people! What I always try to do is to speak gently, try to get close (not too close) and wait to see if they’ll come out and get curious. I’ll let them initiate all contact and let them sniff my hand.

Shannon was an excellent sitter! She was very communicative, sent daily updates and photos, and took great care of our 3 cats. When we returned after a week away, our apartment was in the exact shape we left it in. She even cleaned up some hairballs and some scattered litter. Our cats seemed content and we felt at ease while we were away. Would recommend Shannon to other travelling cat owners :)

I had the best experience with Shannon as my cat sitter. She was extremely reliable, gentle, and communicative. She handled feeding, playtime, and litter box care perfectly, and she paid attention to all the little details I mentioned. She also sent great daily updates that really eased my anxiety as a pet parent. Trouble clearly felt comfortable and safe with her. I couldn’t have asked for better care — I highly recommend Shannon!

Shannon did an incredible job with my shy and skittish Bdubs. I reached out last minute and she really saved the day. She was incredibly patient and attentive to his needs. He’s very picky with who he comes out from under the bed for, and Shannon got the stamp of approval from him! 20/10 would recommend Shannon to anyone!

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.
Medford 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!
