I have been a cat mama for 9 years, and have taken my skills on the road and have been traveling and catsitting for the past year. I spend most of my time in Philadelphia and look forward providing your animals with love and care while you travel. My priority is good communication and my goal is to provide you with peace of mind for the entirety of your travels. I want you to feel at ease knowing your kitties are in loving hands and with a true cat person. I am excellent at communication and am intuitively gifted when it comes to connecting with animals.

Learn More About Allison

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

I’ve been a cat mama for 9 years and have started caring for other animals in the last year. It’s now become my way of life!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Making connections with the animals and getting a chance to earn their trust and seeing their personalities shine through. Animals are so special and it’s an honor to be able to connect with so many!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I recently had the opportunity to sit for a shy kitty who had a bobtail and was slow to trust. By the end of the stay he was so comfortable with me, showing me his belly for pets and inviting me into his world. I love connecting with all kinds of cats, whether shy or playful and loving.

Allison was so kind to my kitties!! She sent cute update photos, and she had experience with pine litter which can be weird if you haven't used it before. She made sure to give each of my cats what they need -- played with Puff and set up enrichment puzzles for Lady Grey. I'll definitely book Allison again in the future!

Allison was fantastic! She took care of my cats as well as my community cats during a long trip. When we got home, it was obvious the cats were not stressed and had enjoyed Allison’s visits!

Allison kept my kitties great company while I was out of town! They both warmed up to her, no doubt because of lots of playtime, and coming home to a clean litter area was a nice treat :)

Allison has been sitting for me since before Meowtel and it's awesome to see her here on the platform as well. She and Janet Jackson are best buds and knowing how much I trust her for amazing visits, I can only surmise she's as good or better with any cat and owner she's working with. Continue to highly recommend her, and always feel so much better knowing she's coming to visit!

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.

New York cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
