Cat Sitting in Somerville, MA

I have always been an animal lover & have been lucky enough to adopt & spoil my 10 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 🤣

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!

For some background, 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. Ideal neighborhoods are Somerville, Cambridge, Medford, and Arlington.

Weekends are generally good for anytime. Most evenings are good for me and maybe early mornings before work (9-5) *depending* on the distance (I will need to see your address to be able to know!). I work a hybrid schedule in office on Tuesdays-Thursday. Due to my office commute, I am free ONLY in the evenings on weekdays Tuesday-Thursday.

Allie not only took great care of Poe, but handled a water leak until I could get a plumber there. She is the best!

Allie is an incredibly reliable and communicative cat sitter! She is attentive and leaves detailed reports and updates with each visit. We were amazed that our more shy cat loved greeting and spending time with her! She helped us to feel secure that we were leaving our cats in excellent hands.

we’ve used Allie as a cat sitter three different times and will continue to! Our kitty was sick and we felt so much more comfortable leaving him knowing Allie would be checking in. She even made sure he took his meds like a pro. We are so thankful for her care, compassion, and amazing updates!

Allie was honestly amazing! She was prompt, gave us a lot of updates and when an issue happened with our building she waited an additional hour to be let in to make sure our cat was taken care of. I 10/10 recommend her and plan on hopefully using her again in the future!

We couldn't be happier with Allie's exceptional care! She was incredibly professional and detail-oriented throughout the entire experience. What impressed us most was how quickly our cat warmed up to her - he seemed completely relaxed and trusting in her presence. Allie kept us updated with regular visit reports and sent wonderful photos of our furry friend, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Her trustworthy nature and genuine care for our cat made this experience stress-free. She's absolutely our top choice for future bookings and we'll definitely be reaching out to her again!

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.

Somerville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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!
