I'm Rachel | 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. 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...
Rachel's Reviews
Matthew
Rachel was awesome! She intuitively followed all the directions I provided and gave me wonderful updates and cute pics of my boy. You can tell she really loves cats. My dude is a tad skiddish at first, but he quickly warmed up and went right up to her purring and with his tail in the air during our meet and great. He was like 'check out my belly!' Very quickly. When I got home he was ecstatic I was back, but he was in a great/playful mood and showed no signs of distress or loneliness at all. It really seemed like my Monkey loved his time hanging out with her. I'd request her anytime she's available, and I'd recommend her to anyone and any cat!

Rachel did an excellent job taking care of our cats! She kept us posted on how they were doing, sent lovely pictures, and had us rest assured that our cats were in good shape. Will definitely keep her in mind for the next time we’re out of town!

Loved having Rachel care for our cat! Responsive and sent a prompt daily update, brought in and updated us on packages arriving, and our cat looked very happy in photos. Would love to have Rachel care for our cat again!
Matthew
Rachel was amazing. I could tell my boy had made a friend during the meet and great. She gave me very great, detailed updates as well as adorable pics. My cat is friendly, so she took advantage and gave him a lot of really good play. It looks like they both had fun together! Would highly recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions
The average price for a cat sitter is $29.00.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
