Learn More About Emily

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I absolutely love meeting all the fun personalities each cat brings. They are so unique and special and all have their quirks! I had one cat who needed his wet food chopped up with special scissors or he refused to eat and it made me laugh but I have lots of respect for his stubbornness!

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

My #1 anxiety when traveling is the security of my cats when people are entering or exiting my house so when cat sitting this is definitely my #1 priority. I make sure to crack doors slowly and get down low to make sure everyone is safe and indoors! I also always double check windows and locks even though I don’t ever touch them just to be safe!

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

I have a grey tabby boy at home named Thomas who struggles really bad with anxiety form being abused when he was a kitten. I have learned how to handle his anxiety over time as he will hide in a corner when anyone comes into my house and not come out at all. I handle cats like this with patience and confidence. I think cats can sense when you feel anxious or are pressuring them so I try to stay relaxed and offer some of their favorite food or things (whatever the kitty parent recommends) and practice patience. I will sit at a distance for 30+ minutes if they are comfortable just so we can hang out and get used to each other. If I am told the cat doesn’t want to be bothered at all I respect that too!

I managed Emily at the cat rescue/ cat cafe for a couple of years. The whole time she was there, she put the cat's needs first. She has a soft spot for all animals. She also cat sits for me on occasion. She stays in communication with me by sending pics and updates. Lastly, she's one of the most dedicated and attentive cat moms I know. I admire her ability to connect with any animal that comes her way.

Emily is a reliable, responsible, and very educated cat sitter. She has many years of experience in cat rescue and a lifetime of experience owning her own cats. She is very knowledgeable about cat behavior and how to best care for any cat she interacts with, as she recognizes everyone is unique in their needs. She takes amazing care of my two cats whenever I am away - I always feel completely at ease with them in Emily's care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Philadelphia cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
