I'm Kalina | Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA
➡️About me⬅️: My name is Kalina, and I’m a scientist at Penn Medicine. I live in the Bella Vista neighborhood with my partner and our 3-year-old tuxedo kitty, Zara! We adopted Zara in September 2020 in Austin, TX, and she has been a core part of our little family since! Together with Zara, we’ve learned harness training and many different tricks and skills through clicker training! She has also moved with us across states in planes and cars and has become an expert traveler in the process. Zara has chronic kidney disease (CKD) and dental issues, so caring for her has been nothing short of an adventure! Because of Zara’s conditions, I had to quickly learn new skills, like giving her medication (oral, eye, topical), using an auto-feeder for wet food, making homemade cat food, brushing her teeth, and having a basic understanding of lab work. I also took a course from the American Red Cross for pet first aid and received a certificate. Through this journey with Zara, I have become very passionate about feline nutrition and behavior.

Kalina was absolutely amazing! She gave me a detailed description about how the visit went with my cat. I received lots of pictures as well. It’s always so hard for me to leave my cat but Kalina helped me relax during my trip & I trusted her right away. I will definitely use Kalina again!

Frequently Asked Questions
The average price for a cat sitter is $29.00.
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.
