I'm Allie | Cat Sitting in Somerville, MA

I have always been an animal lover & have been lucky enough to adopt & spoil my 8 year old dilute tortie Sapphire whom we’ve had since we adopted her at 6 weeks old. She’s a huge part of our lives & we feature her wherever we can including her custom namesake signature cocktail & matching napkin at our wedding this past fall! Although my career took a turn, I had always wanted to be a veterinarian for many years; so while in school I spent years volunteering at my local Vet Clinic & feeding/medicating/healing wildlife at my local Wildlife Shelter where I was able to more directly help in medical animal care. I know how unique cat personalities can be and that’s what I love so much about them! They require patience and a gentle touch and personality to let them shine. I have cat sat for many friends and am always that friend at your party that says hello and then disappears to find and play with your cat 🤣 Whether you’re a cat owner of a very shy (even bordering on aggressive/protective!) kitty who is nervous around strangers, or the owner of a playful, energetic, fun loving kitty—or the owner of an older or disabled kitty who has a lot of special needs—I fill the entire time slot you book with all the necessary chores needed to take care of your cat & engage with him/her in the way that they need. Whether that’s sitting with your kitty calmly while they watch me from a distance to ensure I’m not a predator (lol) for the shyest cats, or having them sit on my lap for pets and kisses for any older or more lethargic kitties, or playing with them with various toys the entire time, I tailor my visit to your cats needs! All with a very thorough update with pictures and/or videos at EVERY visit so you never have to wonder about your kitty & how they’re doing! Now I am an HR Business Partner for a midsized tech company & live in Somerville (Teele/Davis Sq) with my husband. I have a car as well, so am able to go a bit further if needed. Ideal neighborhoods are Somerville, Cambridge, Medford, and Arlington. Weekends are generally good for anytime. Most evenings are good for me and sometimes early mornings before work (9-5) depending on the distance. I work a hybrid schedule in office/remote that is usually flexible on when I schedule my meetings but as a general rule I am in general free in the evenings on weekdays. This is why I have 2x visit availability on the weekends & mondays and fridays but 1x visit availability during the week.
