I'm Ian | Cat Sitting in Newton, MA
I have recently moved from Woburn to Newton! If you are a former Woburn area client, feel free to reach out as I would love to see your kitties again :]. I have always had a cat in my life since the day I was born. I had my best friend, Smokey, for 18 years. I always made sure he had an exciting life and received the best care, from exploring outside and visiting 3 national parks, to receiving daily insulin injections and fluids when he developed diabetes and kidney disease in his later years. When I had to find ...

Ian's Reviews
Rhea
Ian did great watching my cat while I was out of town. Curtis is notorious for his love of food and desire for attention and Ian handled that like a pro, making sure he had is needs met and want of play fulfilled as well.
Hannah
Our kitty Murtle was in great hands with Ian. He was very communicative, shared photos/videos, and incorporated any FYIs (e.g. "oh we forgot to mention, she likes playing with these ribbons that we stash in this place" and the next day we'd get photos of Murtle playing ribbon with Ian). Most notably, Murtle receives subQ fluids which Ian administered with ease. He even came up with something we hadn't thought of- dosing Murtle while she remains snuggled up in her favorite box blanket to increase her comfort! We ended up tacking an extra day onto our trip and Ian was super flexible to come back to see Murtle for an extra day.

Ian is absolutely amazing! He is incredibly kind with my sassy tortie and super playful with our kitten! He accepted them as they are and adapted to our key situation! We feel such a relief to know we have Ian to take care of our fur babies when we are away! Thank you!! ❤️🐱

Ian did a great job of taking photos and keeping me updated for each check in. He was very good to communicate with and responded quickly. Followed instructions to a T. I will definitely be booking with him again
Rocio
Ian did an OUTSTANDING job! ❤️🐱 He was very patient with my sassy tortie and provided exceptional and speedy updates every day! He took the time to meet with us beforehand and was very flexible in scheduling our meeting and reviewing access instructions. We felt very safe leaving our Bali with his care and will be booking again!

Frequently Asked Questions
Newton cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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.
