I'm Kate

Cat Sitting in Somerville, MA

Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — I grew up with them and have loved every moment. That lifelong bond means I truly understand cat behavior, body language, and what makes each cat feel safe and comfortable in their own space.

I have a calm, low-key presence that cats respond to naturally, especially those who are shy, anxious, or slow to warm up. I never rush them — I let cats set the pace and come to me on their own terms... Cats have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember — I grew up with them and have loved every moment. That lifelong bond means I truly understand cat behavior, body language, and what makes each cat feel safe and comfortable in their own space.

I have a calm, low-key presence that cats respond to naturally, especially those who are shy, anxious, or slow to warm up. I never rush them — I let cats set the pace and come to me on their own terms. Whether your cat loves cuddles or prefers to keep their distance, I’ll meet them exactly where they are.

My schedule is highly flexible, so you can count on me to be available when you need it most. I treat every visit with care and attentiveness — checking food, water, litter, and most importantly, making sure your cat feels loved and not alone. I’m happy to send updates and photos so you always know your baby is doing well.

Your cat deserves more than just a check-in — they deserve someone who genuinely cares. I’d love to be that person for them.

Learn More About Kate

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a 10 year old baby Russian Blue, Tobias, who is a total velcro bathroom cat (if you know, you know). I also have two 1 year old actual babies, one who is the textbook example of a dream cat, and her little brother who is open to pets and firm butt pats on his terms only, only in bed or on the couch.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I am an expert cat entertainer and have remarkable patience to make the bird act like a real bird or the laser a real bug intruder.

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

I work with high school boys and a big part of our work is teaching them about consent and for me to practice considerable patience. As cat owners, I’m sure you can imagine how transferable this skill set is to caring for cats of all kinds. They set the pace, I follow their lead. Adapt and adjust as needed.

Kate did a fantastic job of taking care of my brother/sister pair! She gave them lots of play time, sent photos from every visit and gave them daily brushings. Kate is a natural cat person and made them both feel comfortable, eapecially the shy girl cat. She also kept everything neat and clean and was very attentive to all the instructions. I highly rexommend her!

Kate was fantastic! I got lots if photos and updates about my cat and it was clear that my cat was being cared for and loved while I was away. I returned to a happy, not stressed boy who had been brushed, well fed, with a clean litter. Kate is phenomenal and was great to meet im person.

Kate did a fabulous job with my cats. She was able to tell that they really wanted to snuggle, not play and that was great. They loved her!

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!
