Cat Sitting in Melrose, MA

Hi, my name is Gabriel and I’m a feline fanatic. Ever since I was born I’ve been around cats and they’re an enormous part of who I am. I’ve been lucky enough to travel the world and meet cats from many different countries such as New Zealand, Fiji, Puerto Rico, Rome and England. What I cherish most about cats besides being utterly adorable are their unique personalitie... Hi, my name is Gabriel and I’m a feline fanatic. Ever since I was born I’ve been around cats and they’re an enormous part of who I am. I’ve been lucky enough to travel the world and meet cats from many different countries such as New Zealand, Fiji, Puerto Rico, Rome and England. What I cherish most about cats besides being utterly adorable are their unique personalities. No cat is like another and they all have their own little quirks and routines.

I know what it feels like to be away on vacation and constantly thinking about my cats back home, hoping they’re safe and getting the care they need. So I want owners to feel rest assured that their furry little friends are in the best of hands when they’re away. That is why I’m here :)

Learn More About Gabriel

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy seeing every cats routine, and who they are. As I said previously, there are no “normal” cats. They are all special and I even find the not-so-friendly cats adorable.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two beautiful cats, Binx (tabby cat who is a trouble maker) and Belinda (a beautiful soft all-black cat). They are my world.

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

Ask how long the cat sitter has lived with cats. The longer someone has been around cats, the more understanding they are. There are these “rules of thumb” that every experienced cat owner should know.

Medication Experience:

Topical Ointments Eye/Ear Drops Oral Medication / Pills

Gabe was wonderfully communicative and responsive to any requests or questions I had. My house was left spotless, and my cats were delighted to have me back home. He did a great job feeding my senior cat her medication and found ways to get them in her mouth even when the way I pill her didn't work for him. Excellent sitter, highly recommend and would book with again!

Gabriel is fantastic! He has cat-sat for me twice now, and my kitties love him. :) Both of my cats are on medication, and he's been great with them. He's prompt with communication if there is a question (or just to relay updates). He also takes great pictures of the kitties.

Gabriel is very kind and clearly great with cats! Our boy has separation anxiety and took to Gabriel’s presence immediately, so we felt at ease leaving him in his care. Would highly recommend and book again!

Frequently Asked Questions

Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:

More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.

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.

Melrose 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 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!
