Rachel's Philly Kitty Tlc

I'm Rachel

Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA

My name is Rachel and consider me your kitty's new best friend! I began my journey as a professional cat sitter after the loss of Mimi, my soul-cat of 15 years. Still heartbroken over her loss, but missing that furry feline time, I decided to share my love with the Meowtel community - and I 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 at least as much as they will tolerate! I have a special touch with shy and timid kitties, offering the patience, gentle reassurance, and respectful care that helps them feel safe, comfortable, and understood while their family is away.

I treat my role as your trusted care provider in a very professional way. I am a Fear Free® Certified Professional, trained in techniques that help reduce fear, anxiety, and stress during care visits...

I treat my role as your trusted care provider in a very professional way. I am a Fear Free® Certified Professional, trained in techniques that help reduce fear, anxiety, and stress during care visits. My approach emphasizes gentle handling, positive reinforcement, and respecting each pet's comfort level.

Every cat client is unique and has individual needs, and I do my utmost to provide the highest standard of care during each and every visit. My attention to detail and clear communication will ensure that your care guidelines are followed meticulously and you can rest easy while you travel.

Three-plus years in, I often joke that cats have taken over my life—but what a wonderful life it is! Whether I'm fostering with Morris Animal Refuge, helping cats prepare for their forever homes, or working with cats rescued from Ukraine in Berlin, I'm passionate about supporting cats in need. I've also recently become an IEOCLA-certified pet loss doula, providing compassionate end-of-life planning and support for cats and the families who love them.

These experiences have deepened my understanding of cats from all backgrounds, personalities, and life stages, reinforcing my commitment to providing patient, individualized, and compassionate care to every cat I meet.

I look forward to connecting with you and serving as your Kitty TLC provider!

Rachel is amazing! My cat used to get so anxious that I would have to give her a sedative. Not with Rachel taking care of her! she’s so happy and at ease. She’s not even clingy when I get home because she loves Rachel so much. Rachel also leaves the house completely clean and untouched!

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 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.

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!
