Cat sitting for Boston's 250k+ university and medical population

Northeastern co-ops, BU semester breaks, Harvard reading periods, MIT IAP, Tufts clinical rotations, MGH and Longwood medical residencies. Petme cat sitters know the calendar.

Boston has 250k+ students across 30+ colleges, plus the densest medical-resident population in the US (Longwood Medical Area + MGH + Tufts Medical). Cat sitting demand is heavily university and medical-driven: semester breaks, exam weeks, co-op rotations, sabbaticals, fellowship transitions, and on-call shift coverage.

Why university cat sitting is different

Three patterns the calendar drives.

Predictable demand spikes

Move-in (late August), exam blocks (mid-December and early May), Thanksgiving, the December-to-mid-January break, spring break (mid-March), and the summer-internship window (June-August). Lock in 3 to 4 weeks ahead.

Multi-cat shared apartments

2 to 5-cat households are common in BU, Northeastern, MIT, and Harvard graduate housing. Petme adds 0% owner fee for multi-cat add-ons.

Medical-needs handling

Filter for "medical experience" when your cat needs insulin, SubQ fluids, oral meds, or eye drops. Heavy availability around Longwood Medical, MGH, and the BU/Tufts medical campuses.
