I was in retail management for 15 years, but finally took the leap to dedicate my life to what makes me truly happy- cats! Throughout my life I have worked in cat shelters where I learned vast knowledge in giving medical care (injections,oral, topical inhalers, wound care, pregnancy care, cats with disabilities, emergency care, rescuing feral cats, assisting in birthing kittens, providing community education, and much more!) I am also animal CPR certified! I have always had cats throughout my life, I currently have 3 of my own which have been by my side for almost 10 years now...

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have only been using meowtel for less than a year, but prior to this I have always been giving a helping hand for 10 years throughout Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and parts of Connecticut. I always helped take care of family and friends cats, as well as the cats I helped in shelters, too!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Every cat I’ve met is different! I love getting to know all of their different personalities and what makes them unique! It’s so much fun getting to spend time with many different breeds, too! Many of the cats I’ve taken care of so far have medical needs, and it really warms my heart to be able to give them a helping hand!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I helped baby sit a friends cat while she was traveling, and the kitty was very pregnant! While I was sitting for the evening I had to help deliver her 3 healthy kittens and get her through labor! This was such a rewarding and special experience that I will definitely remember for the rest of my life! Another favorite experience was helping a kitty who had special needs and was wheelchair bound- this little guy was such a love and it was so rewarding to work with him and his parents!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three kitties that have been with my for around 8 years! They are in my photos! The white one is Bettie, and the tabby is Cleetus(Cleo)! Cleetus has diabetes and requires medical care. I also have a tuxedo boy named Oscar who is a wild child! They are all very vocal! I adopted them all around similar times , so they have all been together as a family and are always together!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

I would say that cat owners and cat “people” are so different! We are so passionate and devoted to our cats! Just know that most cat sitters going through this process will love and care for your kitty like our own! Cats are our whole world and we are here to help!

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

Please make sure you read all the rules of meowtel, it’s a wonderful community so let’s keep it wonderful! I love to do a meet and greet prior to your trip to get to know you and your fur baby! It’s always important to mention their personality, habits, likes and dislikes, any medical history, diets and their daily routine!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

This is you and your pets home, and I am here to ensure everything is purrfect! I am hyper aware of home safety-making sure all windows and doors are secure, please instruct any rooms that are off limits to your kitties! If security system is enabled I will follow instructions as needed. Kitties are never let outside, EVER UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! Holidays are a busy time and I am here to make sure you and your kitty enjoy them! I’d love to spend time with your kitty on any holiday!

What is your favorite cat toy?

I like to keep it old school— you can’t go wrong with a feather wand toy! I never met a cat who didn’t love them! I also love some good ol’ string (my cats love string)

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

I am very experience with this! As stated all cats are different! You must give them space and time. Keep your distance, talk in a soft soothing voice. Let them approach YOU first. Respect of their personal space is most important. If they are extremely anxious I recommend leaving a piece of clothing with the persons scent near spots they frequent, so they are familiar with your smell and get used to it. So over time, they are comfortable with you!

We can not recommend Sophie enough. She went above and beyond in her role taking care of our cat Stinky, who requires a daily medication (Senvelgo) to manage his diabetes. She was on time, provided clear and consistent communication, and treated Stinky with kindness and love. In addition to this, Sophie went above and beyond to extend her care extra time when our flight got delayed… offering to drive in the middle of a blizzard to get to our house so Stinky could receive his meds. She also assisted with other issues we had in our home related to power outages, in addition to shoveling snow so she could get to the door and so we would have access to the house when we arrived back home ourselves. Again, way above and beyond what we had hired her to do. We can not express our gratitude with adequate words. We are so very appreciative of Sophie’s care and kindness when it came to our home and our pet. If you are looking for a pet sitter please look no further. We are so grateful for her care and anticipate using her for any and all future pet care needs. Thank you, Sophie!

Sophie was a superhero during the blizzard! I was delayed by two days in returning home due to a flight cancellation. She was able to see my cats and those of her other clients which was a huge relief during a stressful couple of days. She will love and care for your cats as though they are her own.

Samantha was so wonderful with our kitty! Dixie can be a bit spicy with new people, and Sam was so loving and understanding. we can back to a happy, healthy and warm kitty who even got a Christmas present! Sam also was able to fit in a request from our neighbors- so nice of her, especially around the holidays! she truly goes above and beyond for the kitties she looks after :)

Samantha was fantastic with our cat, who is usually quite shy. She was patient, caring, and confidently gave medication. We really appreciated her help!

Samantha always takes great care of our cat. She provides daily updates, pictures and videos. She is also flexible with her visits. Our cat hides from everyone but is always happy to visit with Samantha. This definitely makes leaving her easier.

I’m a repeat customer and for great reason… I love Sophie! She is incredible and I’ve never been so relaxed while traveling because she’s so good. I have a very shy boy that doesn’t warm up to anyone, and she found a way to get him to warm up to her. she also took above and beyond extra care of them when one of the boys decided to misbehave and create a little chaos in the house. you won’t ever regret having Sophie take care of your cats!

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.

South Boston cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $32.00. 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 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!
