I'm Max
Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA
I have experience following feeding and oral/topical medicine schedules, including pills, inhalers, liquid medication, and eye/eardrops. I also currently care for a large variety of potted indoor plants so I'd be happy to water yours as well.
Feel free to reach out to me with any questions! 😸❗
Learn More About Max
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two 4 year old tabbies, names Mickey and Romeow. Mickey was rescued from a fence nearby and Romeow was adopted from PAWS.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I prefer to meet clients and their cats before I sit for them, I find it helps the cats trust me if I meet them with their owners nearby. Then I'll ask you to show me your process for feeding, litter, playtime, and meds if needed. I'll finally ask for a key or pinpad code and I'll be on my way.

We like and appreciate Max's thoroughness. He pays attention to how much the cats eat (we have one cat who will eat his own and his brother's meal) and the litter level. When one cat threw up on a rug, Max located the cleaning solution and cleaned it up promptly. I highly recommend Max.

Max is wonderful with my elderly cat Rita who needs her meds at a specific day and time. He is super reliable, friendly and flexible when we needed something extra or different done. He developed a nice, trusting relationship with Rita in a very short period of time and she enjoys his visits. Max is great, so thankful to have found him!

Max was unbelievable! This was our first time using Meowtel and we didn't know what to expect but were blown away by how great he was. We had an unforeseen key emergency and Max took it upon himself to resolve everything and even stayed late to make sure that the kitties were okay. He was incredibly communicative and diligent and we would love to work with him again!

Max was great with Panela! He took the time to come and meet her, and sent me pictures and updates every time he came to visit her. Plus, he helped keep her litter box and bowls clean. I definitely recommend him!

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 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!

Our boys love Max. They go tearing around the house, chasing each other up and down the stairs. You know they have a good time when the rugs are all messed up.

Max was an awesome cat sitter and made sure our cats were being checked in on and having a good time while we were gone. It was extremely comforting to know someone who cares for cats as much as we do was taking care of them. Highly recommend!
