Frequently asked questions
When is BU cat-sitting demand highest?
September 1st move-in week ("Allston Christmas"), Thanksgiving, the December-to-mid-January break, spring break in mid-March, and the early-May graduation window. Lock in your sitter 3 to 4 weeks ahead for any of these.
Will my sitter handle the September 1st chaos?
Yes. Local Allston-Brighton sitters work through the September 1st move-out / move-in window by routing walks away from Pratt Street, Glenville Avenue, and the Comm Ave / Harvard Ave corner during peak chaos. Reactive cats stay calmer indoors with closed blinds.
