I'm a proud Crazy Cat Lady and owner of two cats, Tokyo, my sassy 8 year old tabby, and Trixie, my mischievous 1 year old tuxie. I've also catsat for others for several years and have decided to turn it into a professional service!

I know how much us cat owners love our pets and how much we worry when we're away from them. At each visit I give thorough updates about what I did and how your cats behaved with multiple photos and video.

I also know each cat truly has its own personality and adapt each visit to each individual cat's needs. Your cat may be high energy and ready to play, or maybe just wants to cuddle on the couch after eating (or one of each, like mine), either way, I'll be attune to whatever your cat is feeling that day.

Learn More About Claire

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Meeting new cats and learning about all their unique personality quirks is so fun for me and hardly feels like work (except for perhaps the litter box scooping).

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Of course, my cats are Tokyo, age 8, and Trixie, age 1. I found Tokyo in a parking lot 7 years ago and was immediately smitten. She is sassy but loving, and will never let me forget when it's dinner/breakfast time. Trixie is our newly adopted kitty who bounces off the walls for most of the day and will chase absolutely anything you throw.

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

I meet with them to discuss their cat(s) particular needs, whether they're shy and need a gentle touch, picky eaters who like their food a certain way, or high energy and need lots of play time.

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!
