Sweet Bea was so well taken care of by Shari over the New Year holiday. It was my first time leaving Bea (just adopted her December 8) so I was really nervous. I got daily picture and video reports, and Shari kept me informed of Bea's eating (which was a concern for me). She even brought over a sample of dry food for my picky cat baby to try and she's eating it! Shari visited at the same time each day which kept Bea in her routine, which I really appreciate. Working with Shari included a meet and greet with Bea before I left, and she was very responsible and flexible with figuring out logistics with visits, keys, etc. 10/10 would recommend if you're looking for a cat sitter in the Fenway/Back Bay/South End area. read more

We all miss Sheri! She has been our cat sitter for many many years. Now that I've moved to Florida, I appreciate her even more. She is incredibly reliable (before she arrived, I had horrible experiences with other reputable cat sitters) and the cats like her - not an easy feat for all three of my cats. I highly recommend her as a sitter - and wish she would move to Florida as well! read more

We've used Sheri for both long weekends and week-long trips over the past few years, and she's been everything we've hoped for in a great cat sitter. She's super reliable and provides updates for every visit, and goes out of her way to make sure our cat gets some love and attention during our time away. She gets our highest recommendation! read more

I'm so grateful for the care Sheri has provided my baby over the past several years, and am sad to leave her behind as we move across the country! My cat is extremely suspicious of strangers and can be quite aggressive when afraid (one of his doctors called him "one of the top ten meanest animals I've ever worked on"--a high honor). Although he was apprehensive at first, he eventually warmed up to Sheri and let her become his friend--and, most importantly, let her give him the many oral, subcutaneous, and pill medications he needs multiple times a day. Replacing her care will be extremely difficult. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter, and especially to those with cats who are less than personable and high need. read more

Sheri is the best, highly recommend! I was lucky to have Sheri as a reliable cat sitter for the past 2 years while living in the South End area. I was always confident that my cat Zig was in good hands and happy. Zig usually hides away from strangers, and Sheri is the only cat sitter he comes out for, so I could tell he really liked her. She sent daily photos and is very easy to communicate with. I am sadly moving away from the area, but I hope other cats will benefit from Sheri's wonderful care! read more

We are so grateful to have found Sheri! We have family/friends who could watch our cats while we go away but much prefer someone who is just in love with kitties as we are! Sheri really took her time getting to know us, the "girls" (as we call them), and what their needs and habits are. We got plenty of photos and updates while we were away which was so sweet. Our cats can be a little skittish but really seemed to warm up to her in no time. We so appreciate Sheri and are looking forward to our next trip with the peace of mind she is watching our cats. read more

Just 4 Cats - Pet Sitting Near Me

Sheri was my cat sitter in the South End for many years. She was wonderful to work with. Always very responsive and available for visits, even on the big holiday weekends. Sheri always sent me update emails after each visits and was very reliable. I moved out of the area and am so so sad that I will not be able to use her services for my cat Ichabod any longer. Would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for pet visiting services in the South End. read more

Sheri has been taking terrific care of my 4-and-a-half year-old cats (Sox and Grey) since I first adopted them. Whenever I travelled, which was frequently, she would tend to them daily. They are very skittish cats, especially the female, Grey, and Sheri is the only person besides me and my daughter that they felt safe around. She feeds them, gives them fresh water, plays with them and their toys, and sends a daily email update with pictures of them. I can't imagine anyone better to take care of your cats than Sheri. She is fantastic. I just wish that she was willing to travel the 800 miles to my new home in NC to continue to care for them! Thanks Sheri! read more

I had never used an at home cat caretaker before....usually I subjected my beloved beast to a commercial establishment....although a very good one. Then I discovered Just 4 Cats and Sheri Olans. Sheri seems to have a wealth of knowledge about cats and their sensitivities...and demonstrates her interest in maintaining your pet's wellbeing while you are away by the questions she asks. She comes to your home as many times a day as your situation may require, not just to feed and clean a litter box, but to play, pat, soothe your pet ..... She also clipped our kitty's nails and offered to call or text us daily with reports. Can't say enough! Sheri is the best! Karen 04/13/2016 read more

Sheri is the absolute best. When my sister lived in the Fenway area she used her to look after her two cats and never had a bad thing to say, so when I moved with my little one I knew I had to reach out to her. She came over to meet me and my cat and we chatted and it was immediately clear that she loved what she does. Each time I was away I felt safe knowing that Sheri was coming over to check in on and hang with my cat -- and the best part was that each time she would send me a quick text update with a photo! I would highly recommend Sheri to anyone looking for someone to check in on their cats! read more

Sheri is fantastic! I found her on Yelp and she has been looking after our two cats whenever we travel. She is responsive, punctual, trustworthy and very easy to work with. Her rates are reasonable and she is a true animal lover. My cats were at ease with her immediately. She is extremely knowledgable about felines and gives helpful advice. One of my cats has food/weight issues and she is wonderful at making sure his feeding is in line with his diet requirements. Sheri doesn't just feel the cats and leave, she spends time with them and gives them affection which is so important. She will even send email updates which always puts me at ease on vacation. She adjusts her schedule to meet their needs and they are always happy when we return from being away. I don't think they even miss us with her coming by the house! We highly recommend Sheri and Just 4 Cats! FIVE STARS! read more

Sheri does a fabulous job- she really is the best! She clearly loves her job and has tons of knowledge and experience with cats. She was extremely thorough and on her initial meeting with me, spent a long time getting to know my cat and took detailed notes about his diet, favorite toys, vet information, etc. She sent me an email update after each visit with a photo and also keeps her Facebook site updated with photos, which helped me relax on vacation. When I returned, my cat was happy and well-fed, with a clean litter box. Sheri also spent lots of time petting my cat and playing with him. Finally, she is very professional and always responds to emails and texts immediately. I would highly recommend her to any of my friends! read more

Sheri is a perfect fit for this business and I'm glad she's taken her natural nurturing personality out into the world of cat parents. No worries that she's just there to feed your cat: she spends time with them, which is an essential part of the care we want when we're traveling. I highly recommend Sheri...you can sleep well knowing she's on the job! TN - Back Bay, Boston read more

One of the saddest parts of moving out of Boston was having to say goodbye to Sheri. She took care of our cat for 4 years. Even though he is shy, Sheri managed to quickly befriend him. She always sent us daily updates on their visit and his mood (along with pictures). She was extremely responsive and dependable. She sent visit confirmations when we'd booked far in advance and helped us out a few times when we needed a last-minute visit. Do not hesitate Sheri with your cat(s)! read more

Just 4 Cats is amazing. I just moved to Boston for work just a couple months ago and didn't know anyone who could watch my cat while I was away. I was a little hesitant to hire someone I knew only from Yelp, but after meeting Sheri, I was immediately put at ease. She met my cat, Ellie, a couple of weeks before my trip and Ellie warmed to her immediately. She also gave me a couple of references, and everyone had just wonderful things to say about Sheri. When I get home from a trip, Ellie is usually very needy. Not this time! She was definitely happy to see me, but it was evident that she had received lots of love and attention while I was away. It was a great comfort to know that Sheri was watching my cat and keeping an eye on things while I was away. I definitely recommend Sheri to watch your cat!!! read more

Sheri is an absolute gem. I found her through Yelp after a former cat sitter failed to attend a weekend visit. Sheri is extremely responsive (via phone and text) and took excellent care of my two cats. Her initial meeting with us was extremely thorough, and I knew I was leaving my cats in good hands. I especially loved that Sheri posted pictures of my cats to Facebook after each visit and provided a text message update. I do a lot of traveling so both the Facebook and text updates were an excellent way for me to check in on my cats. Each time I returned, my cats were happy, well feed with a clean litter box. Even my skiddish cat Lucy loves Sheri, which is a real testimonial to how at ease cats are with her. I cannot recommend Sheri enough. In addition to be a reliable and trustworthy cat sitter, she is also extremely knowledgable about cats, which really put me at ease because I knew she could handle any situation that could arise during a visit. My only regret is that I cannot take her to my new city when I move! Thank you Sheri! Willow, Lucy and I will all miss you very much! read more

Sheri is WONDERFUL! My cat is very shy and generally hides in closets or under beds when I have guests. However Sheri miraculously coaxed him out of hiding and was soon his new best friend. It is such a relief to find someone to take care of my bashful guy. She sent me daily photos and really took time to get to know him. She is one in a million. Thanks Sheri! read more

Sheri is the absolute best! We have two cats, and I always felt completely rest assured whenever Sheri would look after them. Sheri has been watching our guys since they were very young, so she not only made sure they were fed and cleaned up after, but she also spent quality time with them, which is very important especially with young kittens. We recently moved to San Francisco, and I am so sorry that I won't be able to use Sheri's services any longer. If you are looking for a reliable, trustworthy, responsible person to care for your cats look no further. read more

Sheri is a fabulous cat sitter! We trust her completely and she always took fabulous care of our cat. She always sent us pictures of our cat every day that she visited. We can't recommend her highly enough! read more

Sheri does magic ! Our cat has been abused pretty bad before ending up at the Animal rescue league where we felt in love with him ; it's very difficult to take care of him because he does not trust human anymore. The person who was in charge was not able to even enter our home ........we were away in France and in need for an emergency plan ! We called Sheri and she was wonderful .She understood how desperate we were and even tough we live in South Boston , she accepted to care for our "Kitou". She emailed me daily and I even got pictures ! She knows how cats think and she makes the point of trying everything to win their trust and love. She is very sensitive and took all the extra steps to understand what Kitou went through and why he was so scared. I can thank her enough for stepping up to help and I strongly recommend her services. If our cat was able to let her in , your cat will love her ! read more

I highly recommend Sheri for cat-sitting! She is extremely reliable, can book way in advance, and always sends photos to me when she visits my cat. When I return from travels, my cat and apartment are always in great shape. read more

I was new to Boston and found Sheri on yelp. I had used only friends and family to watch my cats before so was a little nervous. I could not have found a better cat sitter! She came over to meet them before her first time checking on them, spends time with them, sends me texts and pictures to show that they are doing well. One of my cats is old and sometimes skittish and Sheri has indulged my need to know that she is okay by looking in every possible hiding place until she sees her. I am moving so won't have the pleasure of using her anymore but could not recommend her any more highly! read more

We had Sheri cat-sit for us during the summer, and it was very reassuring to have such a responsible and caring sitter for our beloved pets. She even sent us texts and e-mails while we were away, so that we knew our cats were doing well. Our cats do much better in their home environment than in a stressful boarding facility, and with Sheri, we're able to truly enjoy our vacation. read more

Definitely go with Just 4 Cats. Sheri is fantastic! My cat gets very anxious when she's left alone, so I'm always understandably nervous when leaving someone else to take care of her. I just got back from a weeklong trip to London and Sheri was a huge help, both for myself as well as for my cat. She provided me with regular updates, assuring me that my cat was OK and eating, and she was patient and loving to my (not-so-friendly) cat. I was able to relax and came home to one very happy kitty and the house just the way I left it. Sheri is very accommodating and incredibly responsive; she consistently responded to my calls and/or emails within what felt like just a few minutes. I am very impressed. I highly recommend Just 4 Cats. Thanks again, Sheri! read more

If you want someone who really cares about your cats, call Sheri. She loves them all. In addition, she is extremely professional and organized. The price is also very reasonable. You can go away WORRY-FREE! read more

We highly recommend Sheri. We have been scheduling with her for about two years and she is very reliable. She always emails me a day or two before I leave for my trip to confirm when she will be coming. She sends photos and texts about our two cats while she is visiting with them and that always puts me at ease. When we first met two years ago she came over to meet our cats and learn their routines. I never used a cat sitter before, opting to use family members if I absolutely needed to. But now we are so grateful to have found Sheri. We can schedule with her knowing that our cats adore her visit and it's a huge stress reliever. Now we can just enjoy our trip knowing our cats are well cared for. read more

We love Sheri, my cats love Sheri! I love that she only handles cats. One of my cats needed medication, and there was never any issues. She always texted us with photos and updates. Which made us feel so much better. Once a date was set, she always sent a confirmation a few days before to make sure things were set. All questions were answered within an hour. She is extremely reliable and I highly recommend her! We recently moved to NY and we will miss her. read more

Sheri is an amazing cat sitter. She has been helping watch our cat IN BOSTON for the past 4 years. She has been available whenever we needed and is ALWAYS reliable. While away, she sends us pictures / messages to give us peace of mind that our cat is doing well. I highly recommend Just 4 Cats and Sheri for anyone who needs there pets taken care of while away from home. read more

Sheri is such an amazing cat sitter! We have used her for years and she took wonderful care of our two cats, one of whom needs to have medication administered twice a day. Sheri was also always easy to contact and she would take pictures of our precious kitties at every visit. We would have continued to use Sheri forever but unfortunately we had to move. We begged her to move with us because she is so great! We recommend her to anyone who wants someone to take wonderful care of their kitty! read more

Sheri is a truly cat lover and always consider things good to my cats even more than I thought. My cat are keen on staying with her.

We just had Sheri take care of our four cats while we were away for more than a week. She came twice a day, gave the cats plenty of play time and attention, and kept in touch with us about them, which we loved. Seeing photos of our cats on the Just 4 Cats Facebook page, and receiving regular, reassuring emails from her made a big difference for us, since we usually worry about them when we've had other cat sitters. With Sheri could SEE that they were getting attention and doing well. She clearly loves and knows cats, and she's very professional and organized -- exactly what you want in a cat sitter. Our cats were happy to see us when we returned, but not desperate for attention or food, so we know they were comfortable and happy with her. read more

Sheri is an awesome pet sitter -- she is responsive and reliable, and most importantly, takes great care of our cat. We were referred to Sheri by our former pet sitter. She came highly recommended by him, and now we can say the same. Thanks, Sheri! read more

Sheri is amazing! She has been a life saver so many times. My cat Chipper isn't to friendly to strangers and gets overwhelmed easily but Sheri was always great with him and got him to play. We always came back from our weekend trips to a very happy and calm kitty. She always sent me text message updates when she visited and sent pictures. All around great! read more

Sheri is great and very reliable. We started using her last year and she is always prompt in her responses, makes arrangements very easy, and most importantly she "gets" our cats. She will spend time with them and send you pictures and text updates which always make me feel better about leaving our guys. Our cats know her now and that helps their mental well being as well. Worth every penny to have piece of mind for our furry children while we are away! read more

My husband and I found Sheri on yelp and she has been watching our cat while we're out of town since he was a little kitten. She is always very responsive and flexible with her schedule - even when she could not watch our cat for a weekend, she recommended the person who watches her cats when she travels. Sheri really cares about our cat and we can leave town knowing that he's getting TLC while we aren't home. It is extremely easy to coordinate with Sheri in terms of scheduling, which has been great since sometimes plans change, etc. read more

Sheri is an amazing cat sitter. She has been watching my cat for an year now whenever I am out of town. She is thorough and I know will get the job done. Here is an example of what makes sheri awesome: She checks in with me after the end of her visits to make sure that I am back. Otherwise she will come rescue the cat. read more

Sheri is absolutely amazing! I found her through Yelp a couple of months ago and the best decision I ever made was to contact her. She is very responsive and there is no one I would rather have look after our cats. We have had other cat sitters before but they don't even come close to Sheri. She sends us updates every time she visits and they include photos. I can tell our kitties are in good hands with her. When we come back from a trip, they seem happy and we have zero concerns. My husband and I are unfortunately moving across the country and won't be able to use Sheri's services anymore and my only regret is that we didn't find Sheri sooner. She has been absolutely amazing! If you are looking for an incredible cat sitter - contact Sheri! read more

Last month, I moved to Boston for a new job opportunity and within 3 days of starting my new position, I was informed that I was needed overseas on business. Having had no time to meet anyone in such a short period of time, I was faced with leaving my two kitties for a week without anyone to care for them. I have never left my two boys with a kennel/boarding facility and didn't know how they'd react to that sort of arrangement. Luckily I found Just 4 Cats on Yelp! I contacted Sheri and met with her a few days later. She came to my home and met my kitties and they took right to her like they had known her for years. I walked her through the basics and handed her the keys. It is clear by her interactions with my boys that Sheri genuinely loves caring for and being around cats. Once overseas, Sheri was in charge and made sure to keep me up-to-date via email on everything going on. She even sent me pictures of my kitties and told me about their mischievous behaviors while I was away. I have never been the type of person that is comfortable with someone coming into my home while I'm away; however, I felt very at ease with Sheri. When I returned home, my kitties were happy to see me instead of resentful of my leave. They clearly enjoyed her company and were very well taken care of. In short, I HIGHLY recommend Sheri (Just 4 Cats) as a wonderful and trustworthy in-home kitty caretaker. read more
