Cat Sitters in Boston

Your cat stays in their own home, with their own routine

Boston cats live in brownstones, triple-deckers, and South End townhouses with distinctive sun spots, narrow stairs, and bay windows. Removing them from that environment for boarding rarely improves the trip experience. Cat sitting drop-in visits on Petme connect you with verified Boston sitters across Back Bay, South End, Jamaica Plain, Cambridge, and Somerville who come to your home so your cat stays in their own space.

Petme charges Boston cat owners 0% commission. The per-visit rate is the full price. You get up to $22,000 through the Protection Plan for eligible vet costs, useful coverage if your cat ever needs Angell Animal Medical Center or VCA South Shore. Cashback compounds with each visit.

I've spent years raising a super high-energy, reactive husky mix, and volunteering in shelters, so I'm used to handling 'spicy' cats and anxious dogs with a lot of patience.
