Learn More About Sharlena
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I've been cat sitting since childhood. I've always had a cat of my own, as well. I began watching my neighbors cats to make money for after-school activities which grew into something I enjoyed and continue to enjoy as an adult. I care for the cats who live at the building where I work, as well as cats who my friends recommend.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Playing with them and building a relationship with them. I enjoy when my cats falls out on the floor when I enter their home.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
I care for a pair of sibling cats...Spencer and Pandora. Spencer and I fell in love with each other instantly. Pandora is super shy. Finally, after about a year if caring for them I saw Pandora. We both caught each other off guard. I turned to go to clean their litter and there she was just sitting there staring at me. I was so excited but didn't want to scare her by making any sudden moves. I was able to get my phone out to snap a picture. I informed the owner and we both were screaming
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I sure do. Her name is Abigail. Just the sweetest little brat. She greets me with hugs and kisses after a long day of work and she loves to cuddle up on tje couch with me to watch tv
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Don't hesitate to decline a sitter that your pet does not connect with. My cats have always let me know when they don't like someone

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!
