I'm Grace | Cat Sitting in Stoneham, MA

My ethos regarding cat care is simple – I approach each new feline friend's needs with a whole lot of passion, years of experience, and the understanding and patience any cat might need in a confusing and possibly stressful time. Change, even temporary, can trigger anxiety - feel at ease knowing that your kitties are in the care of someone comfortable meeting them where they are, at any stage of life! I have had the joy of volunteering at a shelter, fostering kittens, and adopting cats who lived out their golden years, so I am accustomed to the unique needs that might present for a cat of any age. Why Choose Me: Tailored TLC: Your pet is one of a kind, and so is my approach. Whether your cat has special dietary preferences or medical needs, I provide personalized care to ensure each furry companion is content and fulfilled until your reunion. Enriching Interactions: Whether it's the good ol' stick and str...

Learn More About Grace

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have 2 cats currently. That phrasing is probably pretty telling. Mama is a precious stray that we picked up in a parking lot - it became clear pretty quickly that she was pregnant (a quick trip to the vet showed she had no chip and a few tagalongs). She had three kittens; one of whom, Sam, also joined the family.

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

Have questions ahead of time, especially if your cat has special dietary or medical needs. You want someone comfortable and experienced. Questions like "What would you do in case of (X) emergency?" or "How do you administer oral medication?" might showcase how well-prepared and experienced a sitter is.

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

Whenever possible, I try to let more anxious cats dictate the pace of our interactions. I appreciate having more time with cats like these so that boundaries can be pushed gradually, and hopefully, progress can be made. Some cats need their food left in a safe hiding spot so they can get a bite in without having to stress about being exposed, some cats need to sniff your hand each and every time you try to approach them, some cats will even flee from toys. Getting to know each cat by learning their unique body language and preferences and being persistent are both key.

Frequently Asked Questions

Stoneham cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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.
