Learn More About Anika

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yoshi (7), Daisy (1.5), and Peach (1.5)! Yoshi was abandoned in the Poconos by his old owners, so watching him go from terrified and shy to playful and sassy has been the best journey Daisy and Peach are a bonded pair of very energetic kitties that I adopted from a local cat cafe :)

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

I typically do an intake of some sort to get to know your cat(s) personality, preferences, and any special needs. This helps make the visit as smooth as possible for the cats and the parent! This also gives the parent a chance to ask me any questions they might have as well.

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

I always let the cat set their boundaries and lead the interaction. I will never approach an anxious cat from above, so I lower myself to the ground to ensure I am not coming off as a treat. I stick my hand out in a fist to allow them to smell me if they feel comfortable enough to approach me. If they’re food motivated, I’ll leave a treat or two partway between us or in my hand for them to eat. If the cat is too shy to approach, I do not force it. I can still give them plenty of love from afar until they feel more comfortable coming up to me :)

Anika treats every pet like her own. She is calm, attentive, and one step ahead of any hiccup. Daily check-ins are clear and reassuring, and I always come home to a relaxed, well-cared-for cat.

Frequently Asked Questions

Philadelphia cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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.
