I'm Natasha | Cat Sitting in Melrose, MA

🐈 Personal Experience Hi! I’m Natasha, and I’ve had cats in my family since I was 6 years old. As an only child, my family’s three cats were my first best friends. I lost the last of my three cats to a 6-year battle against chronic kidney disease in June 2021. Pepper was a handsome pink-nosed tuxedo boy. He was 20 years old when he passed, and I still think of him everyday. Now I live with my boyfriend and our 3-year-old tabby boy named Bongo! I am gentle and patient and understand that animals, especially cats, have boundaries. I also understand how important a calm and clean environment is to our feline companions. At each of my cat sitting visits, you can expect me to: • clean and fill the food and water bowls • scoop out the litter box • play with your cat using their favorite toys • give your cat lots of hugs and cuddles (if they want!) • groom your...

What is your favorite cat toy?

I have an almost 100% success rate entertaining cats with a long-reaching feather wand 😺 But my favorite cat toy is whatever your cat is interested in!

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

I respect boundaries, cats and humans alike! I understand that some cats can be fearful and anxious around new humans and give them time to get accustomed to my scent, voice, and presence. I also try to offer them food or a treat. Patience is important.

Natasha did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were gone for almost a week. She responded quickly to our request and was able to accommodate a last-minute change to our reservation. Natasha visited our boy at regular times, updated us on his feeding and behavior, and provided many photos and videos while we were away.

Natasha always is communicative, attentive, and dependable. While the heat hit a high during my time away, she made sure to adjust the AC appropriately. Shes what a cat parent hopes for in a sitter every time!

Frequently Asked Questions

Melrose cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
