Cat sitter near MIT, Boston
Cat sitter near MIT. Kendall Square + Cambridge sitters who work biotech research schedules: late-night experiments, weekend lab visits, IAP-window stays. 0% owner fee.
MIT students, postdocs, faculty, and the Kendall Square biotech population book Petme cat sitters around lab schedules that don't fit the standard 9-to-5.
