I'm Abigail
Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA
I was lucky enough to grow up with a variety of cats with all different personalities, and I love getting to know cats as the individuals that you know they are! I have experience working as an animal caretaker in a shelter environment caring for kittens and adult cats. Working at a shelter made me better at cat sitting for my friends and family members, and I’m excited to use Meowtel to share my ability to provide a safe and cozy cat sitting experience while you’re away.
I am a proud parent to Quatro who is an utterly pampered TNR turned house cat... Looking for a cat sitter to watch your fur babies? Well, look no further!

I am a proud parent to Quatro who is an utterly pampered TNR turned house cat. We moved to Philadelphia when I decided to pursue a graduate degree in Dance Studies at Temple University, and I fell in love with this city. Outside of my adventures in cat sitting, I also work in an archive as an intern with the goal of becoming an archivist.
I’m happy to provide my cat sitting services throughout the Philadelphia area! I frequently serve clients in the Art Museum, Fairmount, Rittenhouse, Center City, Northern Liberties, and Point Breeze areas. If you need a cat sitter and live outside these neighborhoods, please don’t hesitate to reach out to see if I can travel to care for your cats!
The health and safety of my clients and their kitties are of the utmost importance to me. Upon request, I am ready to wear a mask at all times when caring for your kitties, and upon entering your home, I will always wash my hands before interacting with your cats as well as sanitizing and/or removing my shoes at the door to ensure the health and safety of your household.
Learn More About Abigail
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting with Meowtel since August of 2022!
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Getting to know each cat and their unique personality! I especially love learning each cat’s play style!
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
How can one choose? I have many favorites; if I have to choose, it would be a reservation where I convinced a particularly shy kitty that we could be friends! Now when I visit her, she doesn’t hide anymore. We have a very particular routine where she will see me come in to her home, she will run to a particular rug, she flops to show her belly, and she lets me give her belly and chin scratches hello!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Quatro! He is an orange and white long hair sweetie! We are the best of buds. His favorite things are brushes, ribbons, and snuggles.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
Typically, I listen to what they’re already doing and encourage them to keep figuring out what works for them and their new cat. Each cat is unique and learning to support your cat’s needs takes time, and I always try to answer questions as they arise.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I have a checklist in my head that I use for myself and the cats. Are we safe? If there’s objects they’ve knocked on the floor that could harm them, I clean that up. If they are door darters, I make sure to prevent them coming near the door when I enter and exit. Do we have everything we need? This is our basics of do we have food, clean water, and a clean litter box. Can we relax together? This looks different for each cat. I try to make sure each cat relaxes on my visits whether that’s them playing and getting snuggles/ scratches, or if they’re very shy, I let them know I’m there but don’t invade their safe spaces. Instead, I’ll leave treats and toys out for them to use once I leave.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I am available for most every holiday except for Christmas!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
So much patience and understanding! People are so big and can be so scary (we’re giants in comparison to them). If your cat is particularly shy, I make sure to remove my shoes not just to reduce the amount of noise I make but to also give them a chance to smell me without me having to be close to them. Letting an anxious kitty approach on their own terms is something I learned working with small dogs. Whether they come over to sniff me or grab a treat, I let them investigate without interfering. Sometimes kitties don’t want to leave their hiding spaces and that’s a decision I support. If a scared or anxious cat needs medication, I try to deliver it in the least stressful way possible and then shower them with treats and praise.

Abigail is a literal life saver. I was stranded out of state during a major snowstorm, she was in the middle of the storm and still managed to calm my major anxiety about leaving my fur babies alone. Her communication is above and beyond, she truly cares about her clients, and she has seriously amazing intuition. She treats my cats as if they were her own, braving the elements to get to them as soon as she could. When she could have easily delayed or canceled a visit, she shoveled out her car early in the morning to check on my two divas. I couldn't be more grateful.

Abigail did a wonderful job at taking care of our kitty Mousse! She went the extra mile by playing with him tons, giving lots of treats, and sending us more photos and videos than we could’ve even wished for! She is a great support and we look forward to working with her again!

Abigail is an exceptionally professional and reliable sitter. During our recent trip, a major snowstorm in Philly made visits unsafe. Abigail handled the situation calmly and thoughtfully, working with us to plan and execute a clear emergency backup so our cat was fully cared for ahead of time. She followed instructions precisely and communicated clearly throughout. What we especially appreciated was her respect for our home, our boundaries, and our preferences. Everything was handled with care and good judgment, even under stressful conditions. We returned to a happy, well-cared-for cat and a home exactly as we left it. We would absolutely work with Abigail again and highly recommend her.

Abbey hit it out of the park once again!! She was so accommodating of us and our kitties while we were on our international trip, providing full updates 2x a day, along with photos and videos. Our cats decided to test her skills on the last few days of our vacation, and Abbey took it all in stride. I cannot recommend her enough, from her professionalism and caring conduct to her creative stories about their days!

Abigail is incredible, our favorite sitter hands down and truly a miracle worker with our spicy kitty who's been having a lot of medical struggles lately. She is able to safely medicate her and teach us tricks we didn't know. Our cat loves her and we use her whenever we need someone!

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!

if you are a person who gets nervous to leave your cats, then trust me when I say that you should reach out to Abbey. she was super flexible in accommodating a meet and greet and my cats immediately liked her! we were all set for the visits. her visit notes were so thorough and made me so happy cause I could tell my cats were behaving so naturally and the videos of them playing also put my mind at ease! and she is quite skilled at photographing cats - I now have some of the best pictures ever taken of them! in summary, abbey was great. I returned after the weekend to very content cats!!!

Abigail is a wonderful human and a phenomenal cat sitter. After every visit, she sent thoughtful, detailed updates (complete with pictures and videos) that made us feel completely at ease and confident our two boys were in the best hands possible. Her communication was seamless, and we truly appreciated how quickly and consistently she responded to our messages. The kitties clearly loved her, and we have to add: she has the magic touch. These are hands down the funniest and most delightful photos of our cats we’ve ever received. We’ll absolutely be booking Abigail again in the future!! Thid was a fantastic experience from start to finish. 🐾✨

Abigail is so so fantastic with our cat Belle. We've used her many times and will absolutely continue to do so. She has the magic touch with our tough-to-medicate senior kitty, gives clear updates, and is so compassionate and comprehensive.

She is so wonderful. She has taken care of my two boys multiple times now. She is professional, provides daily updates and photos/videos, and follows all instructions with ease. And my boys love her!
Paula

Abigail always provides five-star care to our two kitties. She understands their personalities and preferences and makes them so happy! Our shyer cat literally came running when she heard Abby's voice on the first day of her most recent visit. And Abby provides such great notes, photos, and videos from each visit that it feels like you were there! The best sign is that our cats are always content and relaxed when we return.

Abigail took the absolute best care of my kitty- she not only followed our routines to a T, but she went above and beyond to figure out Maggie's play style and snuggling preferences. She sent me detailed updates and the sweetest pictures and videos after every visit! I felt so at ease knowing my kitty was well taken care of while I was away. I've already booked her again for my next trip!
Latisha

Abigail is just the best. It’s so refreshing to be able to leave your babies for a trip across the world and know they are very well taken care of. Not only is she reliable, she sends the best updates and photos to keep me updated while I am away. Playtime is important for my cats since they are still young and she sent the best action packed photos to me which made my day. She even got my, mostly lazy, boy cat Coco jumping and playing and got the best pics of it. We choose Abby every time! Thank you Abby!
Tala
November 12, 2025
Abigail is always absolutely amazing with my kitty! She sends the best and most detailed updates/pictures/videos that give me so much peace of mind being away. She's a pro at every aspect of Maggie's care (including giving a daily inhaler), and Maggie has a blast with her! I could not recommend her more highly.

Abigail did a wonderful job with my cats. I was a little concerned about my one cat who is a little shy about strangers in the house, he usually hides, but Abigail had no problem with him. He opened up completely. Will definitely use her in the future.
Rebecca

Abbey was great to work with - she spent at least an hour at our home for the meet and greet chatting about the cats and getting familiar. She was extremely communicative and responsive, leaving detailed updates daily including tons of photos and videos of the cats for us. She even helped out with some plant care and bringing in a chewy package for us. She took good care of the cats and I felt confident relaxing on our trip knowing she was looking after them. As a bonus they really seemed to like spending time with her too.
Valerie

As always, Abbey was fabulous taking care of our two kitties throughout a few summer trips. Our cats are currently kept separated while we work on integrating them, and Abbey handled everything perfectly with confidence and compassion. We love that after each visit we receive pictures, videos and a recap of the visit that reads more like a short story. The sweetest!! Thank you Abbey!

Abby was so great! She was kind and patient with my less than social cat. Every day she worked on building trust with Mavis and by the end I think they were (begrudgingly on Mavis’ part) friends! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!

Abigail is the best sitter!!!! We hired her last minute and she was willing to accommodate us for New Years Eve. She is so gentle and sweet to our kitties. Made sure to cover all the bases during our meet and greet. Sent us lovely pictures and videos during the visit. Wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!!
Tiffany

The second time having Abigail watch Riley was even better! She remembered her likes/dislikes, tailored her visit to my girl, and gave me thorough updates. Both Riley and myself were well taken care of. Abigail specializes in catering to your cat's needs as well as taking care of the owner by giving them timely and thoughtful updates. It's rare to have a sitter that can make both mine and my cat's life infinitely easier when I'm away.
Paula
July 1, 2025
Abby is just fantastic. She understands the dispositions and needs of our cats so well. they live her visits and are calm and relaxed when we get home - the best we could hope for! She goes above and beyond and also sends the funniest, best messages m, photos, and videos. Five stars plus!!!

Abigail is an AMAZING pet sitter. I’ve had her sit my cat Salem a number of times now and it never ceases to amaze me how well she’s been able to get into his good graces as he’s very shy and anxious around new people! She sends such detailed updates that include picture and video so I always feel like Salem is in good hands. She’s also been amazing at getting him to take his medication and truly spends quality time with him! I would recommend Abigail to anybody, but especially those with anxious kitties who need a little extra time and care. :)
Frank
June 30, 2024
What’s most important is that Abigail took excellent care of our cats. They’re all three very shy, and in just one visit, she had close contact with Wyatt, which is a victory our last two cat sitters couldn’t achieve. Also, she was so easy to work with; her communication was quick and thorough from the start. I’d have her catsit again for certain and recommend her highly.
Bob

Abby was great to work with and we highly recommend her for anybody looking for a cat sitter. We went away on vacation and needed a person to fill in the gap for a couple days when friends couldn't stop by. During our initial meet and greet to hand over key, Abby was very friendly and took the time to ask a lot of questions to make sure she'd be able to give our cats everything they needed including play time etc. it was obivous she was good with cats from how one of our cats took to her almost instantly. Our other cat is a little bit more shy, but when we were away she worked her magic on him too cause he was out and about and playing with her in the photos, which usually takes some time. We also appreciated the detailed stories of her visits and the photos she shared, as well as her quick response time when we needed to communicate something. Again def recommend Abby!
Margaret

Abigail is ,by far, the best cat sitter I have ever had. She is reliable, friendly, funny, and goes above and beyond in all ways. Her daily reports and photos are so thorough and entertaining, I miss them once I get home. And I know my cats miss all of the undivided attention they get when she is here. This was our third time with her and I hope there will be many more in the future.
Amber

Abigail is great to work with, and would definitely recommend her. This was our second time having her cat sit our two cats when we were away on vacation. We didn't have to go over instructions again as she had kept notes on our cats from the first time we hired her. She also gave extensive and great photo/video updates from her visit hitting on all the things we had asked her to do (like playing with our cats, and drinking from their favorite cup that we had asked her to refill). Really good cat sitter if you are looking for help.

Dan
August 22, 2024
Abigail was attentive, thorough, and very easy to work with. she provided detailed and charming updates on my little one (Doris) while I was out of town. Doris was very well cared for, and as a cat who thrives on attention, it was nice knowing her needs would be fulfilled. And as a cat owner whose separation anxiety may be even worse than Doris’, it was very comforting to know that she was in good hands. I will absolutely be using Abigail again!

We have booked with Abbey twice now and will definitely continue to do so in the future. Recently moved to Philly and did not know anyone to check on our cats when we travel, so we were a bit nervous because we've never used a pet sitting service before. She's great with multiple cats including our shy guy. Lots of photos and videos, and spends a lot of time playing with them during visits.
Janine

Abbey was a DREAM for us anxious pawrents, leaving our kitties for the first time. She sent beautifully detailed messages after each visit and many videos/pictures, making us feel like we were still at home!! She listened to any tips and tricks we knew that made Butters and Canela tick to help the process along, and by the end of it, Canela was looking for Abbey instead of me!! Overall, Abbey is absolutely amazing and we can’t wait to book her services again in the future.

just moved to Philadelphia with our senior furbaby. I was nervous about leaving him for the first time in a new space but Abigail was fantastic. her constant updates put me at ease. she took amazing care of our meeko, ontop of feeding and cleanup, she played with him, gave snuggles and scratches. 💯 would book again

This was my first experience with booking a cat sitter and my first time leaving him for 2 weeks. I was leaving the country, to the opposite timezone and on top of that, my cat had just started a daily allergy med that he needed at the same time, every day. All that being said, I was a bit nervous about finding some who could handle his needs. Luckily for me I came across Meowtel AND Abigail. She was so quick to accept my booking and set up a meet & greet. She took thorough notes, asked all the right questions and most importantly, became quick friends with my cat. While I was away, I received the most thorough visit reports, photos and videos. It took so much weight off my shoulders and all my worry away. It really allowed me to fully enjoy my first vacation in years. Couldn't be happier with my choice and I will definitely be booking Abigail in the future. I know my silly cat will be so happy to see her..he definitely missed her daily visits lol

WOW. Just WOW. Abigail was genuinely the best petsitter I've ever had. I didn't even know petsitters could be this good until we started receiving detailed, humorous, twice-daily updates with tons of pics & videos of our kitties. She understands cats on an expert level, reading their body language and making small adjustments to routines as necessary. My 2 cats were clearly so comfortable with her after just a couple visits, and the care & effort she put into their meals, litter boxes, and playtime was just unreal. I would recommend Abigail to anyone with cats who wants the most peace-of-mind possible while travelling. I would hire her again and again and again -- I wish I could give her 1,000,000 stars!

Abigail went above and beyond for my little kitty family! Both my cats and I instantly loved and trusted her, which is very rare. I received the most thoughtful and detailed daily recaps, with plenty of photos and videos to put me at ease. She even left a handwritten letter for me to tell me how much fun they all had together! I have trouble finding kitty sitters that care for mine as much as I do, and I know many can relate to that sentiment. I didn\'t have to worry at all this time, because I knew my babies were in such excellent hands. I will absolutely book with Abigail again!

Abigail was the absolute best pet sitter! My cat-baby is a big shy guy who needs a medication everyday— Abigail was able to charm him so quickly and he was playing and asking for pets in no time. 10/10 would recommend and will absolutely be a repeat customer!

Abigail was without a doubt the best cat whisperer/sitter I have ever known. I felt entirely secure that she was taking exceptional care of my beloved cats. She was entirely unfazed by the need for giving medication and sent the most wonderful reports and photos. Makes me want to go on another trip so my cats can get her wonderful care!

Abbey was so caring to our cat Birdie, even though we know she can be a little bit of a sassy kitty at times. Abbey was so patient with Birdie and respected her boundaries while still giving her excellent care. She also sent excellent and detailed updates along with video and pictures. Birdie even warmed up to her enough to make biscuits!

Abbey has taken care of our two shy cats several times and has completely won their trust. She does a great job engaging with them and sends us really clear informative updates with photos and video after each visit.

Valerie

This was the 2nd time Abby took care of Tonka and she was just as excellent as before. I love how she formats her updates as adorable short stories. Each time I open the app after her visit, I get to read a new installment of the Adventures of Abby & Tonka. And she always sends great photos AND videos AND leaves a handwritten note. I can't recommend her enough.

Abigail watched my cat for six days and she exceeded all expectations. She went above and beyond to keep my cat entertained and engaged during her visits. I appreciated the detailed daily updates complete with pictures and videos. We had a minor scheduling miscommunication in the beginning, and Abigail handled the situation with professionalism and a friendly attitude and we were able to come up with a solution that worked for both of us. I would book Abigail again. Thank you!

Abbi’s care is truly next level. Knowing that I can go away for several days, and that my senior girlie will be loved, looked after, and well cared for (and the fact that she loves Abbi❤️), gives me the greatest peace of mind. She’s the best of the best 😎

Abbey is my go to cat sitter everytime! And even though I never actually see her, she’s like a family member as she has spent so much time caring for my fur babies. I’ve been using her for 3+years now and have booked her dozens of times from weekend trips to out of the country vacations. She gives very complete updates, takes amazing photos and videos, administers meds, scoops the boxes and of course feeds, loves and plays with them. She goes above and beyond by grabbing packages for me, bringing in my trash/recycling can and watering plants. The peace of mind she brings me when I am away from my cats is priceless.
Lisa
August 31, 2022

Abigail is far and away the absolute BEST of the best! She gave my cat the love, affection, care and attention she needed and then some! She followed the instructions down to the last exact detail, and was understanding and compassionate when I expressed a few times that I was nervous to leave my cat due to previous bad experiences. Abigail sent daily cute detailed updates and adorable videos and it was evident from each and every one that my cat adores her and was absolutely in the best hands ever. When I came home, my cat was so happy and content and well fed and well loved. I recommend Abigail without hesitation, she's the absolute best of the best! So glad I found Meowtel and Abigail❤️❤️❤️❤️

Abbey is such a wonderful catsitter. She consistently goes above and beyond the task at hand. Whether it’s finding the catfood in my unopened packages or just coaxing my picky kitty to play, she’s always getting the job done before I could even think to ask. I couldn’t ask for any better. Thanks for being such a stellar sitter Abbey!
