Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA

Hi there! I’m Carlyle — a lifelong cat lover, professional opera singer, and experienced sitter here on the Meowtel app for over a year!

While I’ve been cat sitting for many years, my time on Meowtel has allowed me to care for a wide range of fabulous felines, each with their own quirks and needs. Between vocal rehearsals and performances, I make it a priority to provide attentive, personalized care for your kitties... Hi there! I’m Carlyle — a lifelong cat lover, professional opera singer, and experienced sitter here on the Meowtel app for over a year!

While I’ve been cat sitting for many years, my time on Meowtel has allowed me to care for a wide range of fabulous felines, each with their own quirks and needs. Between vocal rehearsals and performances, I make it a priority to provide attentive, personalized care for your kitties.

At home, I wrangle the strong opinions and specific diets of my Siamese duo, Bizet and Chai [(T)Chai(Kovsky)] — named after my favorite composers. I also look after my grandmother’s energetic Munchkin/Laperm mix, Scooter, who’s taught me a thing or two about handling dramatic flair and reluctant nail trims.

I’ve navigated complex medication schedules and end-of-life care, so I understand the importance of patience, gentleness, and trust when it comes to more specialized needs.

Whether your cat is cuddly, shy, high-energy, or needs extra support, I’m here to provide care that’s thoughtful, reliable, and as harmonious as a well-tuned aria.

Carlyle attended to all of my cat's needs. I have automated litter/food/water that can be temperamental at times. Carlyle monitored these and took care of an issue where the water fountain stopped circulating. From the video and pictures sent, I can see that my cat, Ruby, very much enjoyed playtime with Carlyle. Ruby might be eagerly awaiting my next vacation 😁.

Carlyle was a wonderful pal to my boy! The only circles I did not click just aren't relevant, my cat isnt shy nor needs meds. She very thoughtfully understood all the instructions at our meet and great, all while Monkey was already warming up to her. Her updates were reliable and enjoyable, and the photo shoots were on point! I could tell my boy was not only comfortable with her, he was having fun! He was very happy when I got home, but there was zero evidence of any stress, sadness, or loneliness. 10 out or 10 would recommend!

This is the second I've booked and it went just as well as the first time. Carlyle took care of all of Ruby's food/water/litter needs and provided Ruby with her daily playtime.

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 $25.00. 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 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!
