Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA

Hi there! I’ve been cat sitting with Meowtel for over years and have joyfully worked with clients all across Philly. I have always had a deep love for animals - especially cats!! I’ve had cats in my home since I was 5 years old. I love how they can be playful and silly, but also need plenty of downtime. Some of the cats I have worked with have been sweet lap cats and others have wanted more space, and will let me know their boundaries. I think it’s... Hi there! I’ve been cat sitting with Meowtel for over years and have joyfully worked with clients all across Philly. I have always had a deep love for animals - especially cats!! I’ve had cats in my home since I was 5 years old. I love how they can be playful and silly, but also need plenty of downtime. Some of the cats I have worked with have been sweet lap cats and others have wanted more space, and will let me know their boundaries. I think it’s really important to listen to the signals the cats are sending to care for them well. I enjoy spending time with all types of cats and kittens and I really hope to receive the opportunity to care for more.

My other job is at a nonprofit where I help to bring free arts programming to both youth and adults in Philly. I also am fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and Flu and happy to wear a mask during visits and follow any other health safety measures!

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.

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!

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!
