Cat Sitting in Somerville, MA
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... 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.

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 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!

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!

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!

Allie was great at taking care of my three extremely shy (aka invisible 😉) cats. She came on time, and sent pictures so I could see that everything's okay. I get nervous about my cats when I go away. Knowing that they were in goos hands, I could relax and enjoy my vacation.

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!

Allie was suuuuper amazing in taking care of my two kitties while I was out of the country! She provided detailed updates, lots of great photos of my fur-babies and skilled in inhaler administration! From the meet and greet to the final key drop off, Allie has been seamless in capturing all information needed. Would 100% recommend!

This was the second time Allie watched my three cats, each with very different personalities. She made friends with each of them as best she could and spent extra time on the shy one. Her updates were very detailed and she sent lots of pictures!

Allie was AMAZING when watching our kitty. It was our first time using the app and she explained everything so well and immediately made us comfortable. She updated every day and sent lots of photos. You can tell she really cares about the cats she is watching. She made us feel so at ease while we were away and we would definitely book her again. HIGHLY recommend!

Allie did a wonderful job of taking care of our kitties! At every visit, she sent a bunch of photos/videos and a detailed description of everything she did and how the cats were doing. As one of my cats has medical issues I feel anxious about leaving them at home, but Allie’s attention to detail gave me peace of mind!

Allie is a wonderful cat sitter. We have a very difficult cat that can be a little bit unpredictable and aggressive with people she doesn’t know. We’ve had to go on many long vacations in the past year and finding Allie gives us such peace of mind. She is really gentle and calm and gives very thorough updates. We feel very good leaving our cat for long periods of time and over the past couple of cat sitting visits, Olive has gone from avoiding Allie to fully sitting on her lap and letting Allie pet her. It’s truly amazing that Allie has won our cat over because nobody else has and we highly recommend her especially for cats that are difficult!

Allie is the amazing, trustable cat sitter! She is very well organized and ensures timely communication. During a meet and greet session, I briefly go over things for my cat and she kept record of all details and followed everything I told her. Even she separated my cat’s wet can to the recycling bin, which I forgot to give her instruction (also I didn’t expect any cat sitters put an effort to seperate cans for recycle). Truly amazing 😻 My cat loves her of course :)

After our previous cat sitter moved to CA, we were nervous about finding someone new to watch our cat, Penelope. In the past, we would try out new sitters for a shorter overnight or weekend getaway, but this time we needed to start with an entire week. Allie did a great job alleviating our concerns and taking notes at the meet & greet. P isn’t that social with strangers, but she even came out and met Allie. We had a few special requests that Allie took care of, and she had no issues giving P her pills. Every visit included a very detailed recap & collection of photos. We knew P was in good hands. Now that we’re home, I think P might miss all the attention she was getting from Allie 😊

Allie did a great job taking care of my 2 cats over a long weekend. She visited twice daily for feedings and litter box cleaning, and she sent daily Emails and pictures to keep me up to date on how they were doing. I had to travel unexpectedly the following week and I contacted Allie to see if she could sit again. She was departing for her honeymoon so she couldn't accommodate all of the feedings, but she offered to stop in when she could before her trip. Not wanting to add to the stress of getting ready to leave for vacation, I told her I'd look for someone else. Allie actually went out to MeowTel herself and found me a suitable replacement! I will definitely use Allie again for my cat care needs! Thanks, Allie!

Allie was a fantastic cat-sitter for our two energetic Bengals. They can be quite demanding when it comes to food and attention so we were incredibly grateful for all the playtime she gave them while we were away! She sent lots of photos and entertaining updates with each visit, and they seemed well taken care of when we arrived back home. Would absolutely have her watch them again!
Rachel

We took a longer trip than usual and needed someone to watch our slightly high maintenance elderly cat-- Allie was amazing! Miss Kitty is deaf and blind and tends to undereat, so it's important that her routine stays exactly the same. Allie followed our instructions perfectly and allowed us to relax!
Katie

Allison is wonderful! She made sure our older cat Leia had all her medications (including injections) and scritches :) She sent a bunch of pics and a thorough recap of how Leia did, how much she ate, etc. She even carried her up and down the stairs when she was weak!! Already booked Allison again!

Allison is amazing! She took the best care of Caspurr while I was away and even went the extra mile and kept his liter clean - he’s a kicker and I came back to the area being swept. Not only am I happy but Caspurr is in love 😻

We have had Allison care for our cat during two different trips and both experiences were wonderful!
