Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA

My name is Rachel and consider me your kitty's new best friend! I recently returned to Philadelphia after 23 years in NYC, and my cat sitter experience has been for friends and colleagues over the years. Still somewhat heartbroken after losing my cat of 15 years, Mimi, I am not quite prepared to welcome a new feline family member into my home, but I am missing that furry face time and have plenty of love to share.

My name is Rachel and consider me your kitty's new best friend! I recently returned to Philadelphia after 23 years in NYC, and my cat sitter experience has been for friends and colleagues over the years. Still somewhat heartbroken after losing my cat of 15 years, Mimi, I am not quite prepared to welcome a new feline family member into my home, but I am missing that furry face time and have plenty of love to share.

I am a quiet, patient presence, and believe that a cat's domain needs to be respected and, above all, that they should be given the love and devotion they deserve - or as much as they will tolerate from us! In addition, my attention to detail will ensure that your care guidelines are followed meticulously and you can rest easy while you travel.

I live and work from home in Center City, and Midtown Village, South Street, Bella Vista, Society Hill, Center City West, Rittenhouse Square, and Queen Village are all preferable as they are within walking distance, but I am flexible. My general availability is for lunchtime visits, evenings, and weekends (including stayovers).

I am fully vaccinated and will take all safety precautions such as washing my hands and wearing a mask. Video chat meet and greets are highly preferable, especially if a key doesn't need to be handed off.

I look forward to being your Kitty TLC provider!

Rachel went above and beyond this time. She helped me with an accidental food delivery while I was gone and cleaned up glass from a toppled picture frame! Her dedication to my Maxine’s safety and well-being is so thorough and thoughtful. I can’t recommend her highly enough.

Rachel was fantastic! She was able to accommodate my emergency travel and sent me photos, videos, and updates on Jack’s overall wellbeing. It was so reassuring to know he was well taken care of in a very difficult time for me. I will definitely request her again.

Rachel was an absolutely fantastic cat sitter. She is professional, caring, and a wonderful communicator. She clearly loves cats and helping "babysit" for others. She came up with engaging activities like treat scavenger hunt and puzzle boxes. She took excellent care of our two cats, who clearly enjoyed her, and we would not hesitate to hire her again. If you have the chance, hire her!

Rachel was amazing!! She sent detailed updates and wonderful photos during every visit. She took careful notes during our meet and greet, and while I was away she made it clear that she heard and followed each request. She is extremely dependable and clearly cares very much about her clients and their kitties!

Rachel was wonderful with our scaredy cat, and actually got head bonks and scritches, which is saying something! She was very thoughtful and asked great questions to make sure she was doing everything we needed and how we do things. Great communication, extremely reliable. Highly recommend!

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!
