I am a cat mom to two tuxedo cats that I rescued when they were 3 months old. My cats are my everything and are treated like princesses. They get unlimited cuddles, playtime and get to go outside as they please. I will treat your cat as I would treat my own! I am a very loving and calm cat sitter. I respect a cat’s space and boundaries and I always let them come to me. I can administer medication and flea & tick preventative as well. They will always be fed and given fresh water along with a litter box cleaning every time I check in on them!

Learn More About Kathryn

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My cat’s names are Samara and Marilyn Monroe (she has a freckle above her mouth). Their nicknames are Marie and Sammie! They are sisters from the same litter and I rescued them when I was 22 in college. It was the best decision I’ve ever made!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I can be available during holidays unless I am away. If a notice is given I can definitely try to work with your schedule!

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toys include a laser, the stuffed catnip pickle from PetSmart and a feather wand. I love when cats jump in the air for the wand!

Kathryn is our first cat feeder on Meowtel and she set the bar very high. Kathryn was very communicative throughout my international trip, and planned her visit time to accommodate for the time differences. Most importantly, our cat Bella grew close to Kathryn on day 1, which I didn’t even know was possible since she’s usually mean to strangers. I highly recommend Kathryn and will definitely book her again in the future.

I’ve known Katie for years and she is the best cat sitter there is!! She is incredibly attentive, patient, and truly understands cats and their individual personalities. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such loving and capable hands. Every update she gave me showed how happy and comfortable my cat was

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!
