Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA

I am a big cat lover. I grew up with four cats, and currently have 2 of my own- Henry and Simon. Henry is a ginger tabby and Simon is a Russian blue and I adore them! (I am a musician and some of my merch designs even feature my cats! :) ).

Henry has had a tough year and has had to go on a few different medications for anxiety, as well as a specialized diet, so I am well-versed in administering various medications (liquid and pills) and topical ointments as well as ...

Henry has had a tough year and has had to go on a few different medications for anxiety, as well as a specialized diet, so I am well-versed in administering various medications (liquid and pills) and topical ointments as well as sticking to special dietary needs.

I am a full-time musician and work a lot from home. I set my own schedule and love spending time with my cats. My work enables me to have some flexibility to take care of your cats! I look forward to working with you and meeting your kitties.

Please don't hesitate to message me about any inquiries. I *do* offer overnight visits, feel free to let me know about the type of time commitment you are looking for and we'll go from there!

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 wonderful and so responsive! I have 2 cats and my one cat needs a pill every day and Sophie was great about making sure he got it around the same time each day. She sent pictures and notes at every visit, made sure to give lots of pets and playtime, and overall made sure I was comfortable with leaving them in her care. I would absolutely love to hire her again!

This was the second time Sophie cat sat for me and she was great - I set up a lock box so she was able to let herself in and each day she sent detailed messages and lots of pictures!

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!

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!
