City Kitty Boston is the absolute best. We moved recently outside of the zone that they cover and we miss them so much! The team made our two kitten's first year and a half of life with us even better by showing up when we were away. The team made our babies feel safe and loved, played with them, cleaned them out, and sent us photos each day with a brief update on how they were doing. You can always tell the difference when a cat feels comfortable that you've been away vs when they feel abandoned and grumpy. We never, ever had grumpy cats when we got home. I can't recommend City Kitty enough! read more

See all

This is a bit of an unrelated review to cat sitting but I wanted to surface this since it goes to show the depths of Ariel's integrity and kindness. Ariel found my wallet today on the street outside my apartment complex and took it upon herself to try and drive around and find me. She ended up at my old address about 15 min away from my current place, and not only refused to let me come to her but drove over to me immediately. This all probably took a good chunk of about 45 minutes to an hour out of her Saturday. She didn't know this but I'm headed out of the country today and would have lost my collective marbles when I found out that my wallet is missing. I cannot say enough good things about the type of person that would go out of their way to do this, especially one who is placed in a position of trust and responsibility over the most important furry members of your family. I am so grateful and impressed and will absolutely be booking Ariel when I need cat sitting in the future! read more

Ariel and City Kitty are awesome! I switched to her from Rover, and she has taken great care of my two cats, one of which has some health challenges. read more

We are so thrilled to have found City Kitty prior to a ten day trip we were taking. My cats have some intense medication schedules so making sure they are in the right hands is very important. Ariel and Viviane were a pleasure to have taking care of our furballs while we were away and took such great care of our cats! We looked forward to getting messages with updates and lots of pictures after each visit. Would highly recommend their service and care to anyone who wants the best for their animals! read more

I am so thankful to have found Ariel and City Kitty. They have watched my two cats several times and they have done a wonderful job. I've never been so at ease leaving my boys in someone else's care. The whole team takes such good care of them and go above and beyond to make the cats happy. I love the daily updates and pictures. I won't use any other cat sitting service after working with City Kitty! read more

City Kitty is absolutely amazing! After taking in my little lion-want-to-be cat after he was abandoned, I was reluctant to travel as I didn't want to drop him off at a kennel. But, after reading the reviews here, I decided house visit cat care would be best. I've used City Kitty now a few times, and Ariel and team are just awesome; I can't say enough good things. My cat was at such peace of mind and looked forward to greeting them each day. And, I absolutely love the daily email updates with pics of my guy. THANK YOU!!! read more

Excellent cat care all around. I never had any trouble booking service, even near busy holidays. My apartment building had some annoying procedures for giving people guest access while I'm away, but City Kitty managed it with no real problems. And of course the cat care was great - detailed updates, great pictures, kept things clean, etc. I think they are better at playing with my cat than I am! read more

Best in the business. The portal City Kitty uses is amazingly easy and provides great feedback about your pet! Ariel and her team over communicate and really ensure that your pet is well taken care of. The service is simply the best! read more

Ariel is the best! I needed a cat sitter last minute right before the holidays and a cat sitter in Brighton is hard to find. But Ariel came to the rescue, more than once for me. She was flexible and worked around my terrible work hour schedule, she was able to come on last minute notice, and she went far and beyond to help me out when I forgot something important at home after leaving for my trip. She and her assistant Eva came everyday to feed my cat and pet her. Even though my cat is super shy, she eventually warmed up to them. Also, it was great to get daily emails with updates and a photo of my cat. It was a highlight of my trip. So Ariel, thank you so much! I will be using your services every time I need to leave my cat at home. read more

If I could give Ariel and her team more than five stars, I would! She is extremely responsive, reliable, and most importantly, VERY well-loved by our cat. Now that we have Ariel, my husband and I are finally able to relax on our trips (whether it's just a weekend away, a holiday trip, or a more extended vacation) knowing that our cat's needs are being met to the fullest degree. She provides prompt, detailed summaries of each visit with photos so you know exactly how much fun your cat had with her! I can tell how much our kitty loves Ariel just from the photos! Also, Ariel was incredibly responsive on one visit in particular when I was having a bit of a nervous cat-mom moment. She rearranged her schedule to check on our kitty first so I could have peace of mind for the rest of the day. I can't tell you how valuable that was to me. She will ensure that "all is right" in your cat's space, too. For example, on a recent visit she discovered that our cat had knocked over some flowers in a vase. Ariel cleaned up the whole mess, including re-watering the flowers and putting them in a safe space! This was definitely beyond her job description but very appreciated. We could not recommend Ariel and City Kitty more - she is so dedicated to her clients that now we never hesitate to go away! Thank you, Ariel! read more

Ariel and her team are the best care takers around. I highly recommend them to anyone needing kitty care. My cat Chara loves her visits from the City Kitty team, I can tell she's a much happy cat since her City Kitty visits started!! I especially love the updates I get from her playtime, I cant stress enough how AMAZING the City Kitty team is, and they are truly the best ever!! read more

I recently moved to Boston and reached out to numerous places to enquire about cat sitters, but had no luck. It was purely by chance that I stumbled across City Kitty and sent them a message. Ariel, the owner, was extremely prompt in getting back to me to set up a meet and greet. She is a lovely person and my cat Thomas, although hesitant at first, warmed to her quickly. She even offered to do a complimentary stop in to make sure things were set for her colleague who would be doing the first visit. I'm so incredibly impressed with her that I'm sitting in the airport writing this review having not yet had the actual first visit but I have no doubts it will be great! Leaving your loved pets while you travel is hard, but with care and service like this it makes it easier! Beyond impressed! Update: after the first visit got pictures and a nice note! Highly recommend! read more

THIS SERVICE IS THE BEST!! I sometimes go away for a week or more and need someone to come in often to check in on my fluffy kitty, Momo. Ariel and Eve are so attentive and thorough in their care. They read all my instructions carefully and give me email updates with photos every time. I feel so bad leaving Momo for so long, but I cannot take her on my trips, so City Kitty is the next best option. It's really easy to schedule visits with them on their website and best of all, I always know what my crazy cat is up to while I am away. Thank you so much for your care always! Momo and I love you guys! :D read more

City Kitty is the best pet sitting experience I have had. They do such an amazing job, send wonderful updates and pictures as well as voice any thoughts concerns. It's so obvious how much they care and how kind they are to the pets they are sitting. They are extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. 5 stars seems too low!! read more

My boyfriend and I have to go out of the town for around 2 days and we find Ariel to look after our baby Tommy. Ariel is a super nice and careful lady who really knows how to take care of cats. She is a very professional cat sitter and whole process of key drop off and keeping is very standard. If we'll need cat sitting next time I'll definitely choose Ariel and her team as well. read more

Love City Kitty! Their online scheduling is super easy, and they are great at sending updates and pictures while we're away.

Ever since I started using City Kitty i have been able to travel in peace knowing that Ariel is taking good care of my cat. Her daily pictures always make me happy. Would highly recommend her service to anyone in need of a cat sitter. read more

As so many others have mentioned, City Kitty is more than deserving of five stars. My partner and I have had the pleasure of receiving Ariel's cat sitting services for several years now. We've seen Ariel grow her team and business, and it's been amazing to experience her ability to grow her team while continuing to improve her already exemplary quality of care. Ariel very clearly prioritizes quality of care while simultaneously perfecting an easy-to-use online scheduling system. She is highly communicative and a miracle worker in gaining the trust of our scaredy-cat. We were more than comfortable using City Kitty for a two-week out-of-the-country vacation, and when we returned our Kitty seemed to be missing his daily visits! We truly can't say enough good things about City Kitty. read more

City Kitty provides loving care to my elderly cat. Ariel and her helpers send photos daily. My cat looks healthy and happy so that my husband and I can relax while we travel. I am so happy to be a client. I wish that I could give more than 5 stars. read more

While I am sure Ariel and her team do an awesome job taking care of the kitties, I would not recommend her business. I was privy to several texts and conversations between her and an (now former) employee. Ariel treated her employee with rudeness and disrespect. I would think with this kind of business the owner would have some sort of contingency plan in case there was an emergency and one of her workers were not able to check on a clients pet, as was the case I observed. There was quite a lot of attacking and insinuating that the employee did not care about the pet and some insistence that the employee take a train or bus (over 2 hours away) to "fulfill her responsibility" again, I would hope that Ariel now has a back up plan in case one of her other employees runs into an emergency. read more

I reached out to City Kitty to look after our two cats and could not be more thrilled. Leaving pets when traveling is never easy, and it made our trip so much better knowing our cats were well cared for. Ariel was prompt and receptive and extremely responsible. We instantly felt completely at ease leaving our cats in her care. Ariel was so kind and great with our cats. The daily pictures and updates made us feel happy to see them even though we were away. I give Ariel and City Kitty the highest recommendation that I can, and would recommend to anyone. read more

We used City Kitty recently while we were out of the country for two weeks. We had never left our two cats alone for that long before and were very nervous, but Ariel and Eve took great care of them and we loved getting the detailed updates with photos. Eve was especially helpful and went out of her way to grab some supplies and add an extra visit for us. Their website is super easy to use to schedule visits, add info, and pay invoices. We won't hesitate to use them again in the future. Thanks, Ariel & Eve! read more

I left My Persian princess with Ariel last weekend when I went home to see my family. Really appreciated getting a n update each day to know my girl was doing well. I'm happy to finally have a great cat sitter in Boston!! read more

Ariel was the 4th cat sitter we've hired for Pepper and she was definitely ours and Pepper's favorite. All the services were delivered as advertised and the cat seems to be satisfied (as much as you can tell from talking to a cat). Daily Meow mail was a nice touch that is not provided by all other cat sitters. It includes a daily update about your cat with pictures or a video of your pet. Will definitely reach out to City Kitty next time I'm out of Boston! read more
