Learn More About Amelia

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

When working with a new cat parent, I like to get some essential information from them via a chat, and generally prefer to set up an in-person meet-and-greet before starting to sit if possible. During the meet-and-greet I review important information with my clients, including what they're looking for in a sitter and their expectations, their cat's personality, and any special needs their cat may have. I typically take notes during these meetings as well! After the meet-and-greet and discussions about scheduling, if we both feel good about the match, I'll accept the sitting request!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I think it's important to give cautious cats the time they need to warm up! I am a very patient sitter, and am happy to spend a little extra time with a cat so they feel comfortable with me in the house. I find that letting a cat come to me, and coaxing them gently with treats and toys and soft talking generally seems to work best.

Amelia took excellent care of my cat Circe! I appreciated that she made an effort to pet and play with Circe during her daily visits. Additionally, she shared thorough updates that put me at ease.

Amelia is amazing. I had to leave town for two weeks for work. Amelia took great care of both of my kitties. they absolutely loved her. She sent me pictures every day and gave me written updates on the kitties. I was gone during the time we got over 20 inches of snow and she still made it to take care of the kitties. I appreciate her so much and will definitely be hiring her again in the near future.

This is the first time we’ve hired a sitter for our cats so we were a little nervous at first! However, we had a great experience with Amelia! The cats were so well taken care of and the pictures / updates she provided helped put our mind at ease while we were away. We highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

Somerville cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
