Highlights
Pet care experience
Love meeting furry friends!
I am an experienced and proud owner of two lovely cats. It is very rewarding to watch my cats transform from shy shelter kittens to confident kitties with distinctive personalities over the past six years. I am very patient with feline friends, and make sure to spend quality time playing with and grooming them to make sure they are comfortable, happy and healthy. I am comfortable giving medication to pets. For drop in visits with cats, I’ll start the visit with feeding as per the owner’s instructions, followed by litter box cleaning, water top up and some quality play time with their favorite toys and/or brushing. For boarding, similar routine as above. I only house one cat (or two cats from the same household) at a time to ensure your cat(s) receive the care and attention they deserve. Included: clay litter (Dr Elsey’s), individual litter box (brand new for each client), individual food and water bowls, treats (dental treats and Churu sticks), toys (string toys, laser pointer, cat nip), scratching posts and cat beds (freshly laundered for each client). I will also have Feliway plugged in to help your cat(s) ease into the new environment. **For boarding dropoff, my place is very conveniently accessible through public transit (5 min walk from the Alewife red line station).
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Annabelle continues to be a great sitter.
This is the second time Annabelle has watched our cats, and just like the first time, we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She checked in on our two cats every day for a week, taking care of their feeding, water, and litter with professionalism and care. Each visit came with a sweet little update on how they were doing and plenty of adorable photos to brighten our days. Beyond the essentials, she made sure to spend quality playtime with them, giving them attention and affection so they never felt lonely. Coming home to a clean house and two happy, well-loved kitties was such a relief. We highly recommended Annabelle!
Annabelle was so great with my kitten! It was my first time leaving him for longer than a weekend and she made me feel so comfortable knowing that he was in good hands.
Annabelle is great!! She has great communication and our cat loved her :) highly recommend!
Annabelle was absolutely fantastic to our cat while we were away for a long weekend. She was very easy to communicate with -- she took our request on at a very short notice and made it all work very smoothly. She left very thorough notes and gave us plenty of joyful photos of our feline baby -- and he instantly loved Annabelle as well. We highly recommend Annabelle and will be booking her again in the future!
Annabelle watched our two cats while we were out of town and provided very thorough and thoughtful daily updates. We'd highly recommend her!

Schedule
I work from home with a flexible schedule, so am able to drop in anytime during the week and over the weekend to care for your pets at the times of your choice.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I recognize that your pet(s) may feel anxious when their owners are away for an extended time, so will aim to retain their existing routine as much as possible to ensure your pet(s) stay comfortable. At my client’s home, I will prioritize the client’s instructions and the cat(s)’ preference on feeding, playtime, grooming.
