Learn More About Philip

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

I’ve been a cat sitter with Meowtel for a while now and have a lifelong history pet sitting for friends. My reviews should speak volumes about how much I love being a Meowtel Sitter.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I LOVE CATS. ALL CATS. Even the crabby, hiding, weird cats. I just love cats and cat sitting is so much fun.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

It’s sooo hard to choose, but recently I started sitting for a one eyed cat named Wink and he is absolutely delightful! Nothing phases him and he is really affectionate. I consider it a sign of great success if I’m covered in cat fur after a session 😸 So much purring. So much playing. But yeah, I have such strong emotional bonds with all the kitties I see. Once you make a cat friend, they always remember you!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 2 very very very cute kitties named Carl, a medium small tuxedo cow cat who is bonded forever to me, and Penny, a tiny, tiny calico cat that is attached to my partner, Anna, but is obsessed with me regarding mice and mice.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Find someone who you feel really loves cats and isn't just trying to make a quick buck, make sure you feel totally comfortable with your decision.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I visit and show them that I pay a lot of attention to the cats and I pay attention to instructions. I also assure them that I'll take lots of pictures and videos to send them.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I make sure all doors are closed and locked. I double check food and water and make sure there aren't harmful wires or plants or anything that could make a cat unwell.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes it is making me write 20 words 😂

What is your favorite cat toy?

Carl's Platypus. Carl has a tiny furry platypus that makes him do some cirque de soleil moves in the air. It's quite spectacular to watch!

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

I'm especially good with cats like this. I let them approach me and don't try and swoop in to pet them. I sit and wait. My calm energy draws them to me. Works every time.

Philip was quite professional, accommodating, and (according to my cat) very nice! He went over and above-board every day (the pix and vids were nice), and I came home to a fur buddy who was happy and healthy. It's a relief to have someone I can depend on to look after my beloved fur buddy.

Philip went above and beyond taking care of our kitty Maisie! Not only did he spend quality time with her, he also gave us the peace of mind as a trusted friend. On top of being a high quality cat whisperer, Philip helped trouble shoot a problem we had at the apartment and went above and beyond, fixing the issue with a great attitude. Would highly recommend Philip to anyone who needs a cat sitter!

Frequently Asked Questions

Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:

More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.

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.

Orlando 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!
