Learn More About Sophie

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat sitting with Meowtel for almost a year, but before that I was cat sitting for friends and colleagues. I grew up with cats in my family, and my husband and I have two cats. I feel very comfortable around cats, have had to deal with my fair share of cat issues in my own house (medication, UTI issues, dietary restrictions, emergency vet visits, fleas, worms, etc!). I understand how much people love their cats because I love mine so much!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I just love being around cats! There is nothing quite like getting to spend time with cats to cure a mood. I love the company, and the pure love. Plus, I love the silliness of cats ;)

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I really love all of the cats I get to meet- they are all unique and funny in their own ways; however, one in particular comes to mind :) I have gotten to watch an older cat a couple of times now. She needs daily medication because she has some health issues and sometimes you have to force the pills down. She is so funny because she definitely does not love when I do that, but I love her so much. I believe I reversed her decline because of how annoyed with me she was that I made her take her pills! She got so pissed at me that she got a second wind!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do! I have a ginger tabby named Henry (age 7) and a Russian blue named Simon (3). They are hilarious and each so different and I adore them!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! It depends on the day, but I am often available during holidays or days when other folks may not be available due to the nature of my schedule. Always feel free to ask!

What is your favorite cat toy?

honestly, i love a box for cats to enjoy! 😂 (they seem to love those the most!)- a big tie for first place are those spiral toys. My cats adore them!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I like to physically kneel down and very slowly put my hand/finger to their nose so that they can sniff me/feel safe. Then if that goes well, I will try to pet them very slowly. If they are too timid and prefer to hide, I will just calmly call their now, and say reassuring phrases "it's okay, I love you, etc." I like to give the cats their space and time to feel safe and less timid.

Sophie was awesome!! She consistently sent me pictures and updates while I was away, she got my typically shy cat to play and hang out right from the start, and was a pro when it came to administering meds (that my cat got prescribed the week I was leaving!). After meeting Sophie at the meet and greet and seeing some pictures from her first visit, I felt at ease knowing she would be checking in on my cat while I was away!

Sophie was the perfect sitter for my two shy kittens. After a few days she was sending me photos with them out and about! She was also very helpful when they managed to close themselves in my bedroom… lesson learned haha. I will definitely be using her again!

Sophie took such excellent care of our cat Ripley! She followed all of our overly-detailed notes, sent the loveliest updates & photos, and just became Ripley’s favorite sitter.

Sophie was very responsive, flexible, and compassionate. She bonded with my cat faster than even some of my longtime friends. I could tell even from her updates that he was relaxed and happy which was a relief for me as well. can’t recommend Sophie enough

Sophie was amazing with my girls! She was able to make them both feel comfortable, and she helped my shy cat open up and play. She was extremely thorough with the feeding, litter box, and water refills, going above and beyond. She sent the greatest updates with so many cute photos and videos. I couldn’t have asked for better sitter!

Sophie was so wonderful! We have a very shy and sassy cat, and Sophie treated her so well and with such care. She was even able to give our cat medicine! Sophie was quick to respond and sent the best photos and updates. Sophie made going away really easy - I felt so comfortable our baby would be cared for! I would definitely recommend Sophie and will rebook in the future should we need another cat sitter!

Sophie is an absolute angel and cat whisperer. She was immediately loved by both my cats, one of whom can be very shy but was completely charmed by Sophie. I was gone for 6 nights, which we know can be a long time for cats to be without their person, but with Sophie on the job I came home to two happy, happy sweethearts. She is a 14/10 aka run don't walk to book her! Thank you for everything, Andrea, Jack and Ginger

Sophie was awesome! I needed a catsitter while traveling for a wedding, and Sophie made everything a breeze. She's communicative, flexible, and has a positive, nurturing energy about her. My cat bonded with Sophie immediately and had a great time while I was away. I recommend Sophie to anyone looking for a catsitter. Thanks for all of your help!

We had the pleasure of hiring Sophie to take care of our little girl, Eevee, while we were away for over a week. To say that we were satisfied is an understatement. Our cat is known for being quiet demanding and prone to crying when we’re not around, was evidently in the best hands. Sophie not only ensure that our cat was well-fed, but they also took the time to play with her and even stayed with her overnight to make sure she felt comfortable and loved. The daily updates and photos gave us a peace of mind, knowing that our cat was being cared for by someone who understood her needs. When we returned home, our cat seemed not only content but truly happy. The transition was seamless, and it was clear that Sophie had paid attention to her quirks and needs. We are truly grateful for the exceptional service and highly recommend Sophie to anyone looking for a compassionate and attentive cat sitter! Thank you Sophie for making our time away worry free and keeping our cuddly cat joyful and content.

Sophie took excellent care of my cat, Lucy. My cat can be quite shy and anxious for strangers, but Lucy warmed up to Sophie quickly. I also appreciated the updates with photos from Sophie. We will absolutely hire Sophie again and recommend her to anyone who needs a cat sitter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Philadelphia cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

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.
