I'm Emily
Cat Sitting in Mckees Rocks, PA
I’ve had a variety of experiences with cats of all ages over the years. I’ve been a cat mom for over 30 years!
I think that playing and cuddles are important every day! I know your babies will be sad that you’re gone, so it will be important that I gain their trust so they can feel comforted until you get back.
I have had to trust cat sitters myself while traveling, so I know how it feels to wonder about them while I'm gone and how great it is to hear updates from home. I'm here for you!
I’ll want to know what their favorite toys are, how and when they like to play, and where their hiding places are... Hello! I’m Emily, a life-long cat lover! I have three cats of my own, they are my only children!

I think that playing and cuddles are important every day! I know your babies will be sad that you’re gone, so it will be important that I gain their trust so they can feel comforted until you get back.
I have had to trust cat sitters myself while traveling, so I know how it feels to wonder about them while I'm gone and how great it is to hear updates from home. I'm here for you!
I’ll want to know what their favorite toys are, how and when they like to play, and where their hiding places are. Also, for multiple cats, let me know the dynamics of their relationship! Tell me if they have any habits I need to be aware of.(One of my cats loves to open and close doors, so I need to ensure they are propped open so he can't close himself in a room!)
Regarding medical issues, I’ve assisted with giving an elderly cat IV fluids, giving shots to a kitten with FIP, giving pills in Churu, liquid and crushed medicine in food, and cared for a cat post-surgery after a leg amputation. So you can see, I’ve had a lot of experience with cats on many levels!
Full transparency because I want you to make the best decisions for your kitty: Regarding shots/needles, I can assist if you need help, but admittedly can’t give it myself, sorry. I am also not experienced in giving a pill outside of putting it in food. I don't have experience with a pill popper or shoving a pill in the mouth without someone else there to assist me.
I would love to help put your mind at ease while you’re away and take care of your precious kitty!
Learn More About Emily
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have three cats named Romeo, Roy, and Doctor Griswold. Roy and Dr Griswold are named after Kevin Costner and Rene Russo’s characters in the movie Tin Cup. (“The Doctor is a woman!”) Romeo is our kitten (born 3/2025) who was named after Cheech Marin's character in the same movie.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes I am typically available during the holidays. I have to work during the holiday season so I don’t travel. I may need to see your baby a little early or a little late around my work schedule during that time but I can talk to you about that! Most weeks I only work one or two days so it shouldn't be a problem.
What is your favorite cat toy?
The laser pointer and the feather on a stick are my favorites. It’s been my experience that cats have different taste in what they prefer, but I love how either one of these toys will get them to jump!

Our sitter Emily, is a godsend! I am so grateful for her dedication and love for my 2 girls! My babies hate when I’m away and used to give me the cold shoulder for at least 24 hours when I came home from a trip, except for feeding times of course 🥺 Ever since we found Meowtel and Emily, everything is different! My girls are relaxed and happy to see me! That means the world to me! Thank you for all the pics and keeping me constantly up to date! I no longer stress the whole time I’m gone, whether a day or a week❣️🥰 Thank You!!

This was the 2nd time Emily took care of my baby girls while I was away, she is SIMPLY THE BEST!!! I told my girls that Emily was coming to spend time with them again and I swear to you, they were so much more relaxed while I was packing then ever before, not anxious at all! And, from the pictures she sent, they came right out to see her, and believe me, that is not at all normal for my Alice girl, she usually hides from everyone! I feel so lucky to have found Meowtel and especially Emily!

Emily goes above and beyond to make connections with my extremely shy, formerly feral male cats. I feel so reassured when I am away from them that she is making every effort to interact with them in a meaningful way. Thank you Emily!!!

Emily sent regular updates and tons of photos so I had a price of mind that everything was going well . Emily went above and kept me updated each through chats . My cat Bubba is very comfortable with her now and I know he is in good hands while we are away !

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.

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.
Mckees Rocks cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!

This was my first time using Meowtel and I couldn't be happier with Emily! She took wonderful care of my 3 kitties and was very accommodating to their needs. She sent pics and updates each day, which gave us piece of mind while we were away. I will absolutely book Emily again when we travel. Thanks so much for being an amazing kitty-sitter Emily!

Emily has been helping me with reintroducing my cats in addition to taking care of them while I'm out of town. My cats require extra attention and care and Emily has been so kind and attentive to follow instructions just as needed. She also helped give medications and sent thorough updates. Definitely recommended!!

Emily was an incredible cat sitter for my cat, Carpet, especially during a particularly stressful time for me. She was responsive, kind, and incredibly thoughtful, making sure Carpet had everything he needed. Her attention to detail and consistent updates (including lots of adorable photos!) gave me so much peace of mind. I’m so grateful for her care and will absolutely be booking with Emily again!

I have been Emily's family veterinarian for 15 years. Knowing Emily has made me a better person. She has seemingly endless inner strength, handling any situation with grace and dignity. She speaks well, and listens to others beautifully. She is a really really good human. If I were a cat, I want to be one of hers!
