April was terrific. My cat, Victoria, is very shy and hides a lot when I have company. April was patient, let Victoria have her space and let her come to her. When Victoria came out from hiding she hissed at April. After time and patience, Victoria warmed up to April, allowing petting and belly rubs. After time, April was able to play with Victoria. I love the updates and photos. It gave me piece of mind that Victoria was safe and happy.

April was a wonderful and reliable cat sitter! She was available for a fairly last minute request and accommodated my diabetic cat’s insulin/feeding schedule with ease. She also kept me updated with each visit and took the trash out/cleaned the litter daily, going above and beyond the original request. Would absolutely recommend her!

I was very pleased with April's attention to details. During the "Meet and Greet" she made sure she knew where everything was located and offered to pick up mail and water my numerous plants. Receiving daily photos and updates was very reassuring!

April is patient and kind to skittish kitties. She did a very good job in spite of Cashie’s bad temperament. Cashie is an older cat, does not like being left, and sometimes gets very territorial. April handled it all very well. I truly appreciate her trying to convince Cashie to calm down. She gave treats, cleaned the liter box and tried to play with her. Very kind and loving.

I can understand her being territorial. I will always stick with the cat. I learn once i didn't invade her personal space she left me alone to take care of her food and litter box. Ty for trusting me.

April was a vacation saver. She was wonderful with my little Pitch and came to the rescue when there was a problem with Pitch's food. Thanks to her, my vacation came off without a hitch. Would definitely recommend her as an ideal pet sitter.

One of our two kitties is diabetic so needs insulin injections twice daily and is on a diet regime different from diabetic Oscar. Plus, lots of pee in litter boxes so there were 3 boxes to scoop twice a day. We came home after a 10 day trip to clean boxes and kitties who seemed purrfectly content. And did I mention the daily plant waterings on our balcony? April took it all in stride...Thank you, April!

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:

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.
Philadelphia cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!

April was awesome. I was nervous about leaving my 3 cats at home while on vacation, but instantly felt relieved once April showed up. She sent either a daily photo or video of my cats and communicated with me about her experience with them. Very lucky to have April and would recommend booking with her!

We are so happy we found April to take care of our cat while we were away on vacation. She was professional and well experienced. We appreciated her frequent updates and we could tell she cared about our cat’s wellbeing. If we need someone to care for our cat in the future, we will definitely be rebooking April!

April was excellent to our meows as always. She’s been looking after them for a minute now and finally, she even got a cuddle out of little girl. I was both proud and jealous she got cuddles, kitty cuddles are the best.
