Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA

Hello, my name is Maddy! My passion for cats started when I was young with my childhood cat Tiggy, and it has continued to be a big part of my life as an adult. I am constantly around cats, as I own one and my parents own 2!

My cat Cali is a special needs cat with one eye, and before adopting her she was one of my many foster kittens I have had throughout the years. Every year I foster kittens through the Animal Shelter, and I have experience with kitten and cat medical care (including administering medicine, post op care, etc.)...
Hello, my name is Maddy! My passion for cats started when I was young with my childhood cat Tiggy, and it has continued to be a big part of my life as an adult. I am constantly around cats, as I own one and my parents own 2!

My cat Cali is a special needs cat with one eye, and before adopting her she was one of my many foster kittens I have had throughout the years. Every year I foster kittens through the Animal Shelter, and I have experience with kitten and cat medical care (including administering medicine, post op care, etc.).

I also have a slightly ~ spicy ~ cat, so nothing scares me and I am not afraid to clip nails, or deal with an aggressive/scared/or special needs cat. Any breed, personality type, or disability is welcome in my care and I will share the love I have to give with every cat I interact with.

I work in marketing and I am completely remote, meaning any time of the day I can spend time with your cat (even while working). My ultimate goal is to share the abundant love I have for cats, creating a positive and enriching experience for every feline friend that crosses my path.

Learn More About Madison

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

I’ve had cats my entire life, so being around them feels like second nature. I began cat sitting and fostering about five years ago, during the start of the pandemic. What started as a way to help out during a tough time quickly turned into something I truly love. I combined my lifelong love of cats with my passion for caring for animals, and it’s been incredibly rewarding. When I’m watching cats, it never feels like work—because when you love what you do, it doesn’t feel like a job at all.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is the quiet bond that forms between me and the cat. Every cat has their own unique personality, and I love earning their trust—especially the shy or cautious ones. There’s something really special about connecting with an animal who might not warm up to just anyone. Whether it’s playing, cuddling, or just sitting near them while they nap, I genuinely enjoy being a calming, consistent presence for them while their humans are away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one cat, her name is California Marie but Cali for short! She is an all black, Maine coon mix and is almost 20lbs, so she is a big girl with beautiful long hair. She also has one eye, and partial vision as she had to get her eye removed as a kitten. I had her as a foster during Covid and met her at only 5 weeks old, but once I had her I knew she was my baby. She is a very loving girl, playful and fun, and she is very unique!

Madison was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Titi! She was kind, patient, and incredibly attentive. She made sure Titi had everything she needed, gave her lots of love, and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. Titi can be shy and anxious, but Madison respected her space and cared for her with so much compassion. During an unexpected emergency at my apartment, when maintenance needed to enter while I was out of town, Madison went above and beyond to help. She moved Titi’s food and litter into a separate room, closed the door, and even put a sign on it asking that no one open the door to ensure Titi stayed safe and secure. That meant so much to me and truly showed how thoughtful and caring she is. It was clear that Madison genuinely loves animals and treats them like her own. She is reliable, trustworthy, compassionate, and always willing to go the extra mile. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter. I will absolutely trust her with Titi again in the future. Thank you, Madison, for taking such amazing care of my little girl! ❤️🐾

Madison is absolutely wonderful! I feel so lucky to have found someone I can completely trust with my cat, Titi. She is incredibly kind, caring, responsible, and attentive. Titi can be shy and tends to hide, especially when she’s stressed, and Madison is always so patient with her and respects her space while still making sure she has everything she needs. 💝

Madison did a great job with my kitties. She even got the shy one to warm up to her. Great communication about arrivals and plenty of pictures for me to see my kitties were happy while I was away.

I had to go out of town on a last-minute trip and Madison was a lifesaver. She was super communicative to get everything set up on short notice and took amazing care of my cat who needed medication. I would recommend her to anyone and will book again with her every time I can

Madison was amazing. I have one extremely shy cat who she managed to charm. She provided wonderful pictures and videos with details of her visits. I would absolutely recommend her and will use her again, although I am slightly worried my cats love her as much as me 😀

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 $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 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 Meet & Greet!
