Learn More About Julia

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat sitting for friends, family, neighbors, and clients for over a decade! It’s always a pleasure to meet and spend time with new kitties, and to provide them with the same level of care that I would want for my own.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to know more kitties with their own unique personalities and quirks! I also like providing them with care and security while their owners are away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have a 17-year-old baby named Pippy! I have had her since she was a kitten. She is very sweet and has many demands in her older years, which I dutifully tend to! ☺️

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

It’s important for the cat to set the pace and not force anything on them. I will always extend my hand first for them to sniff before giving consent for petting. If they don’t even want to come close, I will just sit nearby and talk to them in a gentle voice to help them feel safe with me.

Julia provided a world-class experience for my first Meowtel reservation. Julia went above and beyond, and my two cats were so well loved and cared for! I wholeheartedly recommend Julia and look forward to working with her again. Thank You!

You can be assured that Jules will treat your babies like her own. She is incredibly caring and well versed in the often complicated language of cats. Additionally, she is one of the most trustworthy and reliable people I know.

Julia has an excellent cat manner, and my cat warmed to her immediately at the first meeting. She is very attentive to special needs, and spends extra time playing and providing companionship. She even went the extra mile to clean up hairball stains on my carpet. When she stopped by to return my keys afterwards, my cat heard her and came running to the door to greet her affectionately - a true mark of approval!

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.
