I'm Emily
Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA
Described by many as having a cat-like personality (lol), I am the go-to cat sitter for all of my friends. I have experience caring for cats of all... I’m emily! I have lived with and loved cats for as long as I can remember. As a shy kid, animals were my refuge and I have always felt a special connection with them.
Described by many as having a cat-like personality (lol), I am the go-to cat sitter for all of my friends. I have experience caring for cats of all ages and with a variety of needs and temperaments.
I have one cat named Zeke who I recently celebrated 10 years with! I can be anxious about leaving him when I go away, and I understand wanting to make sure your pets are well taken care of while you’re gone. I can promise they would be in good hands with me! :)
Learn More About Emily
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been caring for my own cats for my entire life and cat sitting for others for 10+ years. I am the standing cat sitter for all of my friends and often recommended to others. I have experience with cats of all ages, from kittens to seniors. I have cared for animals post-surgery, I’m comfortable giving medications, and have been known to be loved by the shyest of cats.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I am a triple checker! I will make sure that your cat has been given everything that they need and that the house is secured, doors locked and everything is left as I found it. My own mischevous cat has also been known to try to slip past people out the door, which is my biggest source of anxiety when I am away from home. So, I take ensuring that every cat is safely in the house when i enter and exit very seriously. I will also not hesitate to reach out if anything seems off and I have a car that makes it easy to get around if a vet visit were necessary.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! I’m from the area and spend holidays here. My schedule is flexible, so I am often available if you need a sitter in a last minute pinch, too!

Emily was super. This was our first time with a pet sitter and first time away from our young kitties. Our cats needed unexpected vet care while we were away and Emily handled the situation with ease. She was proactive in communicating with our Vet and conveying information to us. She kept us updated with daily photos and written descriptions of kitty behavior. Out kitties were in good spirits when we returned and our family was relieved to have Emily’s professional and calm attention to their care.

I was nervous about leaving my shy, daily-medication-needing cat at home for a week. I won’t be nervous anymore as long as Emily is available. She followed instructions to a T, gave me thorough daily updates, and—most importantly—is clearly an expert with cats because she handled mine perfectly. You should book Emily with supreme confidence.

Emily was fantastic. She went above and beyond to keep our three cats safe and happy over the weekend. This was our first booking with a pet sitter, so we had some nerves. Emily listened to all our concerns and reassured us about their wellbeing every visit. She was also able to get our three notiously picky cats to eat every meal and take medicine. I'll definitely book with her again!

We’ve used Emily for the second time, and once again she was absolutely wonderful. She cared for our cat for 12 days over the Christmas holidays, and we felt completely at ease the entire time. She followed detailed medication and feeding instructions perfectly, including daily meds, special food prep, litter cleaning, and water changes. Everything was always clean and organized when we returned. She even took our garbage bag out on garbage day, which was such a thoughtful extra touch and really appreciated. Communication was excellent throughout. She sent regular updates, was attentive, reliable, and clearly cares deeply about the animals she looks after. Our cat was calm and well cared for when we got back, which says a lot. We will absolutely continue booking her whenever she’s available and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful, and thorough cat sitter.

This was our second time booking Emily. We have two special needs cats and one foster cat, and both humans and cats love the care and attention that Emily gave them while we were away. Our wobbly cat and blind kitty have their quirks and Emily handled them like a pro 😊 we will definitely be asking for her again the next time we are away.

Emily was wonderful while caring for our cat over Thanksgiving. Her communication was excellent, and she even sent a reminder the day before each visit to confirm the time she would be coming. She followed every instruction perfectly, from giving medication and preparing food to cleaning the litter box and refreshing the water bowls. The house was spotless when we returned, and our cat was clearly comfortable and well cared for. We were so happy with the experience that we have already booked Emily again for our upcoming 10-day trip. Highly recommend her for anyone looking for a trustworthy, proactive, and kind sitter.

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!

Emily is my favorite cat sitter! She is responsible, proactive, and communicative, but most of all, cats love her! My super shy cat who hides if anyone comes over to our house will come out, roll on her back, and eat in front of Emily. Emily will make friends with your cat and pay attention to them. We call her a cat whisperer at my house! You can relax knowing your cats are in the best care.
