I'm Mary Rose
Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA
I love cats, and I would like to love your cat, too. Temperament isn’t a problem for me (though a heads up for spice is greatly appreciated) and I would love to work with you and your felid to make sure they get spoiled to the best of my ability.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have had cats myself and cat sit for friends and family my entire life. From the super spicy rescue of my friend to the mixed back that is a rescue cage room, from kittens to the geriatric, I have sat them all. I can’t say I don’t have my ear wounds, but I can say I know exactly why I got them and when I earned them.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
My friends were going to a dinner and asked me to house and cat sit, more for their freshly rescued baby than for the house. Unfortunately, the freshly rescued baby wasn’t pleased with someone who was Not A Parent in the house with them, and spend the first two days taking swipes at me. In response, I started dropping towels and pillowcases on her when she started it. After an extended period of disgruntled glaring that I wasn’t letting her bully me, I woke up the next morning to her, still glaring, purring on my chest.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two currently, both my partner and I came in with one. Mine is a 5 year old tabico named Tabby, who will go between lightly animated pillow to possessed gremlin. My partner’s is Chichio, who is an 11 year old black cat, who is a perfect angel in the form of a FNAF animatronic who screams. I love them both more than I could possibly express.

Mary Rose came to take care of our cat Callie for the first time and Callie quickly adapted to her. Mary Rose was in constant contact with me providing updates and sending adorable photos. In every photo Callie looked completely comfortable and happy with her being there. I will certainly have Mary Rose come to take care of Callie any time we go away. She is reliable, friendly and loves cats, especially being a cat mom herself.

Mary Rose has been a wonderful cat sitter for my two gentle-natured cats. I never have to worry when I have them in Mary Rose's care. From keeping up with routine and feeding schedules, Mary Rose takes time to handle playtime with the more playful one, or takes everything slow and steady with my more skittish one, who rarely likes anyone outside of my partner and me. It's great to have such a knowledgeable friend to ask questions about our kitties, ensuring we're giving them the best care possible.

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!
