I'm Hillary | Cat Sitting in Havertown, PA

Availability Update If the dates you need are blocked on my calendar, please message me. I’ll do my best to accommodate or connect you with another trusted sitter if needed. Thank you! ≈=============== Meow there! I'm Hillary, your dedicated cat caretaker, and I've had the purr-ivilege of being a kitty aficionado for as long as I can remember. One of my clients even referred to me as the "Mary Poppins for cats," and I strive to live up to that title every day. My journey as a kitty sitter began with friends entrusting me to look after their feline companions. In 2019, I made the life-changing decision to return to my hometown, primarily to care for my father. It was also an opportunity for me to hit pause on my corporate career and seek something more fulfilling. After all, "There's the whole catnip world at your paws." Taking care of kitties isn't just a job for me; it's a labor of love that never feels like work. After all, who could resist the chance to visit your beloved kitties, play, smooch, and snuggle with them? "In every job that must be done, there is a whisker of fun." And yes, I'm no stranger to the litter box, as I already tend to five in my own home. Medications? No problem! I'm well-versed in administering them and have a bag of tricks to make it a stress-free experience. I've navigated through feline diabetes, asthma, arthritis, cancer, heart issues, urinary blockages, and kidney disease, so you can trust me with your kitties' health. And speaking of trust, I've learned to be ultra-vigilant when it comes to sly, door-darting, ninja-like, escape artist cats, thanks to my own mischievous Nemo's escapades. "Anything can cat-happen if you let it," and Nemo proved...

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

Being a devoted cat lover has been a significant part of my life for as long as I can recall. My experience as a cat sitter commenced when friends started relying on me to care for their beloved feline friends during their trips. In 2019, I made a pivotal choice to go back to my hometown, driven by the desire to support and care for my father. This decision also marked a turning point as I decided to take a break from my corporate career in search of a more meaningful and fulfilling path. That is when I connected with Meowtel.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I find most enjoyable about cat sitting is the opportunity to connect with and care for these wonderful feline companions. It's a privilege to create a comfortable and nurturing environment for them while their owners are away. I appreciate the unique personalities of each cat and the joy they bring into my life. Building trust and forming bonds with these furry friends is a rewarding experience, making cat sitting not just a responsibility but a fulfilling and heartwarming endeavor.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat sitting reservation is one where I connect deeply with the feline companion. It's particularly rewarding when I befriend the shy, timid, and even the spicy kitties, building trust and creating a comfortable environment. I cherish opportunities to use my experience, especially with cats that have unique needs. The most fulfilling reservations involve not just meeting basic requirements but fostering a genuine connection and providing personalized care that leaves both the cat and the owner content and at ease.

This was the first time that we used Hillary to cat sit. We first met Hillary last week when we had an emergency situation where we needed someone to take care of our sick cat during the day while we were away for a few days. We reached out to Hillary and she responded within the hour and with in a few hours we were having our meet and greet. She came prepared with a list of questions and made some very good suggestions, bringing up things that we hadn't even thought of including being in regular communication with our other Meowtel sitter who was doing the overnight stays! She made sure to interact with our cat during the initial visit and we felt confident from our first meeting that our cat would be in good hands. Our experience was that our cat was in excellent hands. Hillary quickly established a sweet rapport with our cat. Fluffy got a lot of love and attention on a daily basis. Her daily communication included details, pics and videos of what our cat was doing and how he was doing and of things that she was trying and of their interactions together. We are extremely pleased with our experience with Hillary and so grateful that she was there in our time of need. Hillary was very professional and kind and we appreciated her proactive and friendly approach to caring for our Fluffy boy. We'd definitely recommend Hillary to anyone looking for a cat sitter.

This was the first time Hillary took care of my cat. I have a senior cat that is very clingy and finicky since her lifelong companion passed away and her favorite human left for college. I was worried about leaving her home alone with a new sitter. After the meet and greet, I knew I didn’t have to worry. Hillary was very professional and detail oriented. She wanted to everything about Tiger and had an entire list of questions to make sure she could do her job well. Plus, Tiger took to her right away. Hillary exceeded my expectations while we were gone. She took the time to learn Tiger’s preferences and adjusted to meet Tiger’s needs. Based on the photos and videos, I’d say Tiger was as happy with Hillary as she is with me. Hillary is definitely a cat lover who takes the time to understand what makes them tick. I like knowing my baby-cat is being cared for by someone like Hillary. I will be using Hillary for all my future trips and will be recommending her to anyone looking for a great cat sitter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Havertown cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

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

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
