I'm Lily

Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA

Hello Cat Lovers! My name is Lily, I've just recently adopted 2 boys, Pea Wee and Logan but before that, I was a cat mom to Meeper Cyrus Littlefoot for almost 14 years. As a devoted mother, I lived every day for my child and now want to give back to others. I've babysat over 30 cats in my years and continue to advocate and support local strays.

I'm definitely a patient cat lady, I know every cat is an individual and requires a lot of respect. I'm used to antisocial cats particularly since my cat Meeper was one and wasn't the typical lap cat type...
Hello Cat Lovers! My name is Lily, I've just recently adopted 2 boys, Pea Wee and Logan but before that, I was a cat mom to Meeper Cyrus Littlefoot for almost 14 years. As a devoted mother, I lived every day for my child and now want to give back to others. I've babysat over 30 cats in my years and continue to advocate and support local strays.

I'm definitely a patient cat lady, I know every cat is an individual and requires a lot of respect. I'm used to antisocial cats particularly since my cat Meeper was one and wasn't the typical lap cat type. I understand the needs of each cat and cater to them as independent beings.

I have experience with special needs, elder cats with a lot of clean up needed, messy cats, chaotic cats, and grumpy cats. I can administer medication, follow very specific details and listen to the parents concerns.

I document happily my visits as an honor to meet these kitties in the first place and will ultimately do what you need to help you feel comfortable during my visits.

I'm always willing to go above and beyond for cats, even if it's the neighborhood cat at my window wanting a treat, he'll get it! Please consider me to care for your children!

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have babysat over 30 cats in the last 20 years. I've not had a cat react badly to-date but am always prepared to give the individualized cat the needed time, space and respect it deserves in our interactions together.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I am a cautious person by nature; being in someone else's house is very intimate. I absolutely care how pet parents feel about their space and ensure their house is protected properly by following their protocols, requests and safety. Cats are their children and I take that very seriously as I would expect the same if roles reversed. I will keep your children safe, loved and well while under my care.

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

I spend a lot of time respecting boundaries. I sit, even for 30 minutes if I have to in order to allow your cat to feel safe. I do not push myself on cats, I allow them the time they need and the safety they need to establish trust. I speak from experience with a very antisocial cat who took much patience and care but was well worth every effort to just be around him. Every cat needs to feel safe.

My first time using this app after so many others were 🐕 centered, could not have gone better. Delilah 🐈 and I were absolutely blessed to get Lily for two visits, which were filled with communication, pictures and fun! Lily came by the night before my mini vaca, to meet my DD and it was clear Lily was professional, an expert with cats, and awesome Delilah overall! My entire vacation was better knowing Delilah was happy and safe and couldn't be in better hands! thanks to Lily and Meowtel!

We had Lily care for our senior cat while we traveled for a long weekend. Lily is so kind and thoughtful! She was wonderful with Francisco and they were instant friends. She provided fun updates and great photos!

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 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!
