Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA

I have always loved cats, but after having two as my first adult pet, I have truly developed a special bond. Both of my boys are special needs and require medications. Neither will take a pill with food, so I’ve had to manually give them their pill for years - not always an easy task and has been a learning experience. Both of my cats were ferals, and although they’ve mostly grown out of their behavioral issues, I had quite a bit of experience training them.

My personal experiences and love for cats are what I will take to your home. I’m patient, and I am willing to work with any cat. I have met cats who are extremely territorial, shy, immediately wanting to warm up to you or all of the above. I am always willing to change techniques to work with the cat.

i am in the Philadelphia area and accepting bookings in Philly or neighboring suburbs. I live in Mt Airy, and I am very close / happy to sit in the Northwest Philly area (Germantown, Manayunk, Roxborough, East Oak Lane, East Falls, Chestnut Hill etc.) I am able to travel anywhere in the city (or outside) for longer sits. Outside my area? Feel free to send me a message or request anyway, as I will see what I can do to assist you. I’ve travelled all over the US housesitting, so I’m even open to travel to watch your pets! If you don’t see me available on dates you would like, sometimes I can open up spots so feel free to send me a message.

I love a challenge and the new experiences that come with petsitting. Have a cat who needs walks on a harness? I’d love that experience! Does your cat scare anyone who comes over? I’m happy to be the difference! Need lots of playtime? I’m your girl!

In addition, petsitting is my primary gig at the moment. I am happy to work my schedule around yours. I am also usually available. I am also now privately insured with PCI, as well as the insurance that Meowtel offers.

I am fully vaccinated and take covid precautions seriously. I’m happy to wear a mask during meet and greets or visits, if you prefer.

When a cat sitter needs a cat sitter, Danielle is the purrfect choice! She took pawsitively excellent care of my four cats, quickly learning their individual rules and following them faithfully. Even my shy kitties felt comfortable with her calm, gentle energy. One of my cats requires daily medication and Danielle handled it like a true pro — patient, precise and stress-free. I came home to four happy, relaxed cats who were clearly well cared for. Highly recommend! 🐾

We’ve been working with Danielle for two years and she’s the best! She made sure to check in on my boys even after bad storms knocked out power and trees in our neighborhood.

Danielle was an absolutely amazing sitter. She went above and beyond, doing this I didn’t even ask her to do. She just did things intuitively which I appreciated. Such as deep cleaning the litter boxes, taking out the trash. She communicated urgent matters to me effectively, and she has a great personality. I definitely trust her with my kitties.

I was disappointed in the care provided by Danielle. She had agreed to visit in the mornings but did not come until midday and our 2 cats were left waiting for food, medicine and attention. Both cats were clearly unhappy when we returned from our trip and we had to spend extra time comforting them. This was not the case with our previous cat sitter. I don’t think that she was really paying attention to the instructions that we gave her. I would not feel comfortable letting her care for our cats again.

I enjoyed getting to know your boys and I am truly devastated over this review. I arrived by 11 and 950 am, as shown on cameras, which is Meowtel’s morning. Each visit included love and playtime, successfully giving mookie medication.

Everything went well. Our home was neat and tidy when we returned. Danielle had cleaned the mess our cats made with the litter. She sent photos each visit and let us know who came out to see her. She also sent photos of the food bowls and litter area. She was great!

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!
