I'm Jillian

Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA

Hi my name is Jillian and I am an Occupational Therapy grad student based in University City. I love my kitties, Bartholomeow (Barty) and Catalina (Cat). Both are rescues who are extremely food motivated. Catalina was found on my porch in West Philly and is semi-feral who needs anxiety medication on the ear. With lots of love and patience she has become the biggest cuddle bug during bed time. I understand that finding a cat sitter that loves your cat like their own is h... Hi my name is Jillian and I am an Occupational Therapy grad student based in University City. I love my kitties, Bartholomeow (Barty) and Catalina (Cat). Both are rescues who are extremely food motivated. Catalina was found on my porch in West Philly and is semi-feral who needs anxiety medication on the ear. With lots of love and patience she has become the biggest cuddle bug during bed time. I understand that finding a cat sitter that loves your cat like their own is hard but look no further! I’m here to help while you go on vacation, work, etc! My kitties have taught me how to be a great pet mom! I owe it all to those two trouble makers.

Scheduling Note:
I work 1 weekend/month at Pennsylvania Hospital from 9-5:30 pm. On these days I can only pop in during evening hours:
7/25-7/26
8/8-8/9
For the last week of August into September: I will only be able to make evening drop ins Mon-Thurs. I can still do any drop in time for Fri-Sun.

Learn More About Jillian

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Catalina and Bartholomeow are rescues that look like siblings but are actually not even from the same state! Barty was adopted in Boston and Cat was found on my front porch in West Philly.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Make sure you meet the cat sitter first to ensure they understand your kitties routines and needs before you go! Also, ask for updates every visit!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I am a full time grad student and have holidays off. I typically stay in the area for holidays.

Jillian was a great sitter for our two cats! She was reliable, friendly, and an obvious cat person. Our baby Maya is normally scared of strangers, but was eating snacks out of Jillian’s hand on day 1! She played, snuggled, and fed our cats every day - and even gladly followed our detailed instructions (with lots of videos and photos!). I felt comfortable leaving our cats in her care and will definitely book again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:


  • More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.

  • Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.

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!
