Sara has a vibe that my shy cat immediately warmed up to. I’ve never had a sitter be able to get so close to her so quickly. It gave me peace of mind to know my girl wasn’t scared and instead enjoying a bunch of pets and cuddles. Sara followed all of my instructions to a T, came at the times requested, and respected my home. I’d 100% use Sara again!

Sara watched my two cats while I was on vacation over Thanksgiving and she did an amazing job. She was extremely thorough during the meet & greet and her daily photos/videos she sent allowed me to enjoy my vacation and not worry about how my cats were doing. I would definitely request her again for future cat sitting needs!

Sara has been an amazing sitter for my spoiled brat. my cat is a bit of a tough cookie with strangers and has been known to not even acknowledge multiple friends and family when they visit but Sara somehow charmed ninja for every visit and allowed her time off great photos.

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.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.

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 $25.00. 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!

Sara was the purrfect (sorry lol) cat sitter! I could tell from the photos that all of my kitties felt super confy around her. It was so nice getting updates everyday and having an open line of communication for any questions that came up. Highly recommend booking with Sara!

Sara was fantastic, went above and beyond, and did a great job with Gloria. Next time I need an overnight sitter, I would absolutely see if she was available. Gloria can’t speak, but if she could, she would say she made a new friend.

Very happy to provide a 5-star review for Sara. Twice she's come through to provide very attentive care for my cat George - once on short notice while he required extra care for an infection. If you have a people-oriented cat like mine who really benefits from lots of friendly human interaction, Sara is one of the best. She's intelligent, listens closely and makes sure your cat's individual needs are understood and well provided for. Very glad that I found her and have been able to book visits with her.

Sara came out despite a recent medical issue. She communicated with me daily, sending photos, and a report. My cats feel safe with her and I agree.

Sara is an incredible sitter, my kitties told me so! I was worried about being away for a week but after her first update I completely trusted her care. She was very aware of my cats feelings and they quickly warmed up to her, she even got one of my cats to purr - that never happens!
Amy
October 15, 2021
Sara is wonderful and my cats think so too! My female cat has never come out for any other cat sitter but she's always out and asking for attention from Sara. Sara always sends pictures and video and makes me sure my cats are in great hands.
Jasmine

Our cat (Aubry) loved Sara! Sara sent pictures and videos of our cat. When we came home from our vacation, Aubry was relaxed and happy to see us. She followed our note as well. We would definitely recommend Sara and will be utilizing her services in the future.

Sara was fabulous! Our only cat gets lonely by himself, so when we planned a week away we were worried he'd be anxious. Sara came by everyday with one overnight and gave him some much needed attention! When we came home he was happy healthy and well taken care of! Very happy with our experience

Sara is a very sweet animal loving cat sitter! She took great care of my two princesses, with texts, pictures and videos of them daily! Felt totally comfortable with her taking care of my furry babies! The cats were well fed, water was abundant and the litter box clean.

Sara gave me great updates with my cat, and was very detail oriented - noting that my cat hadn’t used the litter box as much, asking me to confirm things, etc. Definitely recommend her!

Sara was able to squeeze us in for a very last minute request and we could NOT have been happier. She's absolutely wonderful and we 100% recommend her--seriously, don't hesitate to book with her. Her daily updates w/pictures and videos were a bright spot in our day. We really appreciated how clean everything was when we returned, as well. Thank you so much, Sara! We'll definitely book again :)

Sara is an amazing cat sitter. I recently hired Sara twice to take care of my cat, Monarch, and she will be my go-to sitter from here on out . Sara had an immediate rapport with my kitty and her messages and pictures that she posted from her visits kept me updated and eased my mind.
