Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA

Hi my name is Leanne (she/her) and I am an animal lover who absolutely has a soft spot for cats. I'm vegan, pan, and live in Fishtown!
I have owned cats since the age of 12 and I am very good with them, some have called me a cat whisperer ^_^
I am a foster cat mom and have a cat of my own whose name is Miso. Miso is my heart healer and my baby and my love. I love my babies and fosters with my whole entire heart...

I am a foster cat mom and have a cat of my own whose name is Miso. Miso is my heart healer and my baby and my love. I love my babies and fosters with my whole entire heart.
I am very comfortable giving medication to cats as I have done so many times with cats I've owned and the ones I foster. I will respect your cat's boundaries and will eagerly welcome cuddles and give them all the pets they ask for. I love all babies and talk to them and will treat them with kindness and love.
I understand that cats are your babies and they are precious angels who deserve to be spoiled and treated with courtesy and respect!
I currently foster cats from ACCT so I have lots of experience taking care of many different kinds of cats, I also catsit for almost all my friends who have cats. This is my passion. 😻

Learn More About Leanne

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

I have been cat-sitting for people and friends for at least 10 years! I love love meeting other babies, each kitty has their own personality and their own needs, so learning them and getting to know them is always fun

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love cuddling with the babies, and what really warms my heart is when someone tells me their cat is shy and may hide the whole time but ends up coming out and being social and friendly with me, to see the joy in their owner's messages to me is so endearing and puts them at ease knowing their baby is not hiding in fear while they're gone but feeling comfortable and making friends

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I foster cats regularly through ACCT but I also have my own boy named Miso. He is a big 7 year old baby boy. He loves cuddles and cries for attention!

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

I think it's very important to listen to cats and respect their boundaries, they will come out when they are ready. Some cats also are put at ease when you talk to them in a very calm, soft, and encouraging voice. My number one thing is kindness, I try to be kind and most cats really warm up to me quickly.

I had a great experience with Leanne! She took amazing care of my kitten, Junie, and even traveled through a snow storm to get to her. Junie is a shy girl and Leanne made her feel so comfortable that she started to come out and ask for pets! She also updated me with pictures and videos while I was away. Everything was clean and secure. Couldn’t ask for a better experience!

Leanne is the best! She takes such amazing care of my cats and sends lots of pictures. She even found a way to get one of my kitties to eat his wet food (a longstanding issue)! Thank you Leanne!

Leanne took amazing care of my cat and I would reach out to her again for petsitting! On day one I could tell my cat was completely comfortable and enjoying being under her care. She was responsive and sent plenty of pictures of my cat’s activities during her visit while I was away. I’m very grateful!

Leanne went above and beyond taking care of my shy cats to the point she was holding them by the last visit. Very happy to know they were taken care of and played with while I was away.

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!
