Hi and thanks for checking out my profile! To start, my love for cats goes back many years to my childhood. I grew up with cats and vibe with them naturally. Nowadays my home is blessed with my 2 rescue cats, Kiki and Munchie, my sweet girls, and they enrich my life every day. A little about my background: I worked in human resources for the majority of my career and when Covid hit I decided to follow my passion into animal welfare. I started fresh, learning the ropes of animal care in a local shelter. After a year of gaining invaluable experience, I moved on to a role in another shelter focused on cats only and it brought me such joy to work with these amazing little creatures everyday. I currently serve as Director of Programs for a MA Animal Cooperative and also volunt...

Frequently Asked Questions
Somerville cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
