Cat Sitting in Wilmington, DE

Hi I’m Phoebe! I am the mom of two sweet cats, Momo (8y) & new kitten Laszlo (5 months). I love befriending my neighborhood’s strays and making illustrations of all the cats I meet.

Hi I’m Phoebe! I am the mom of two sweet cats, Momo (8y) & new kitten Laszlo (5 months). I love befriending my neighborhood’s strays and making illustrations of all the cats I meet.

I’ve been a petsitter of all kinds for over 10 years, but love cats most of all. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so I can easily accommodate whatever support you and your kitties need! If you need extra time in visits, more critters in need of care, or want to set up more regular sitting, message me!

I am also a foster cat mom - I foster failed (lol) with Laszlo at Brandywine Valley SPCA and will be fostering again in the fall. I have had Laz since he was 4 weeks old, so I have experience caring for small kittens and administering oral medication.

Learn More About Phoebe

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I’ve been cat sitting for over ten years, primarily for friends and family, but I used to be on rover as well many years ago. I have 5 cats I regularly pop in to check on in the area and just looking to expand my client base! I have cared for cats as young as 4 weeks and as old as 18 years old, the sweetest angels and skittish kitties alike.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Cat fishing pole is my go to - both my kitties can never get enough of it! And for young cats, the spring toys are a must.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Cats set their own boundaries, and I always respect them! If you have a shy or anxious kitty, I will give them their space and let them come to me if they want to. Let me know if they have a favorite treat or toy to help them feel safe around me.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Wilmington cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with your sitter before you leave.

Cats are territorial animals and don't do well in new environments. The presence of other cats, dogs, and even birds in kennels or animal hotels cause an immense amount of stress. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet!
