Cat Sitting in Pittsburgh, PA

**Please note that I have higher rates for the following zip codes (due to increased travel expenses via Uber and Lyft costs):
15102, 15202, 15204, 15212, 15214, 15227, 15229, 15136, 15241. If your area is not in my service zone, you can send me a message to see if I am able to still get to you. Thank you!

I would love to cat sit for your fur babies because each has a unique and loving personality. They are VERY appreciative of the love we give.

I was blessed with and “employed” by 2 indoor rescues and 8+ ferals/neighborhood cats that my husband and I care for several times a day. We started caring for 3 outdoors, in 2017, but that number has grown to over 8. Our cameras have picked up other non cat critters visiting our feeding/water stations, as well...

I was blessed with and “employed” by 2 indoor rescues and 8+ ferals/neighborhood cats that my husband and I care for several times a day. We started caring for 3 outdoors, in 2017, but that number has grown to over 8. Our cameras have picked up other non cat critters visiting our feeding/water stations, as well. “Tennessee” (a beautiful longhair with tuxedo pattern) is seen on camera “accepting and monitoring” how the colony newcomers are treated and how they interact with the other cats. He is so thoughtful. We get to watch him go from dish to dish - almost as if he’s sampling the food to make sure to give the all-clear before the others dine. Occasionally, he has to discipline a young kitty (we named Blackie) because his youth gets the best of him. Blackie is full of energy. His body is long and lean. We think it’s because he can be seen throughout the day running from the shelters we built to the food dishes - back and forth. Don’t think he naps very long. Tennessee has taken him under his wing.

I also volunteered at 2 animal shelters.

I live in the South Hills section of Pittsburgh, but I am willing to travel to places that are accessible by public transportation, so that I can cat sit with your feline babies. The Transit App has an extremely useful feature that allows me to key in your address to get the most effective bus/trolley/incline/Uber/Lyft routes. Willing to seek alternate modes of transportation, with advance notice.

Thank you for considering and trusting me to be blessed by your feline family members.

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

I have completed over 400 cat reservations.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

To ensure that your kitties do not escape, I place my backpack down low, in front of your door, as I’m opening it. That way, I have a chance to react to any door dashing cats.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is the laser pointer. I find that it usually gets kitties, that don’t normally play, interested in running around. I carry one with me.

Dione is indeed excellent. Thoughtful, detail oriented and great at administering meds for cats. My two are very particular and not super social with strangers, and she was able to get them everything they need while I was away. I could not be happier with her pet sitting service and will hire her again!!

As always, Dione did a great job. The cats love her and greet her stomachs up. She always brings us something new - treat, toy, or tool. And sends a video. Brings in the mail and leaves the house in great shape. We are very happy to have found her

Dione is a superb cat sitter. She interacts with my 2 cats each visit, and updates me re messages and photos. She is extremely neat and all of the feeding dishes are cleaned and stacked when I return. She loves the cat and the love is reciprocated. could not ask for a better catsitter.

Dione took great care with my extremely shy, new-ish cat, going beyond just changing food + litter to try creative approaches to socializing her. Dion's Meet & Greet was super-thorough, too--she asked questions, observed interactions, and brainstormed about some things that have tripped me up with getting my cat to settle in. Dione was superb at keeping me apprised of daily events with photos and videos -- great for peace of mind! Of course she kept my cat's stations tidy and fresh., too I'll definitely work again with Dione!

As always, communication with Dione was exceptional. She took great care with my shy cat and my home, and sent me video and image updates from each visit. She clarified things that were not clear in my instructions, and left my home and my cat's environment tidy. I love working with Dione!

Dione was our household’s first experience with a cat-sitter and to say our expectations were met or exceeded would be an understatement. From the meet-and-greet onward Dione’s commitment to assisting our fur family shone. The level of love and care given to our furry family was evident through our consistent communication and sharing of personalized content during our time away from home. Not only was routine upkept during our visit, medications were administered, and so much play with a brand new friend was had. As an anxious household, Dione did everything in their power to help build our confidence in traveling away from our companions.

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.

Pittsburgh 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!
