I'm Megan | Cat Sitting in Pittsburgh, PA

My love of cats has been lifelong! As a child, my family adopted a kitten and then began fostering kitties. I was frequently tapped as a cat sitter for neighbors and regularly ran fundraisers for donations for the local animal shelter. I currently have 3 cats of my own, in addition to 3 dogs! I have previously volunteered/fostered with adoptable and community cat programs and am particularly fluent in “spicy” cats. ...

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

I’ve been catsitting since childhood, moving from neighbors cats to friends/colleagues to Meowtel! I’ve loved being part of the Meowtel team where I’ve gotten to know so many wonderful new felines.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

After a reservation request is complete, I schedule a complimentary meet and greet. During that time, I meet the humans and cats, taking copious notes and asking questions about routines, favorite hiding spots, favorite toys and playtime, regular vs unusual eating or litter habits, and confirming key arrangement. I explain what kinds of updates I will share and make sure there are no additional requests.

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

Cats are sneaky! I make sure to enter the home in a way that never leaves any exits exposed for escape and verify every cat is in the home during my visit (even shy ones). When I exit, I confirm all doors are locked. I am Red Cross certified in Cat and Dog First Aid and renew my certification annually. I also have extensive experience working with cats with varying medical needs, so I’m aware what kinds of symptoms to look for should problems arise.

This was our second time working with Megan. Once again, we were completely impressed with her! This was the longest we'd been away from our kitty for a long time, and having someone skilled and dependable to care for her while we were away was so wonderful. Megan visited 2x a day and applied transdermal medications each visit, provided her with fresh food and water, interacted with her based on our kitty's preferences at the time (brushing and petting, playing, or just sitting nearby to keep her company), and cleaned the litter box. In addition to adorable pictures and videos of our kitty, she sent pictures of the food bowls so I could see how much she was eating and also gave us clear and detailed reports each visit about how she was acting, progress they'd made, and activities completed. It was so reassuring! Our kitty is shy and can be anxious, but Megan's patience, calm, and cat behavior skills do wonders! This trip they made even more progress, and I could tell on the pictures and videos that our kitty was happy Megan was there! Megan was timely, professional, dependable, and flexible in addition to being great with our kitty!

Megan is absolutely fantastic! I feel incredibly comfortable leaving our kitties with her - including a special needs kitten. Megan is kind, responsive, and responsible, and we get tons of wonderful pictures and videos. Not only are the cats fed and litter cleaned, Megan makes extra sure to give the kitties play time and loving pets. Highly recommend leaving your cats in Megan’s care - I know I will again!

Megan was absolutely fantastic with our two cats! We got lots of updates, with pictures and photos, and Megan made sure we new everything that was going on while we were away. Highly recommend!

Finding and having a cat sitter was a pretty new experience for us. Every interaction with Megan put me at ease. Megan had great reviews here and was recommended by our vet office. While chatting prior to booking, at the Meet and Greet, and through interactions after each visit I was reassured that Megan was a great fit for us and our cat. She has experience with transdermal medication application and was able to apply 1-2 medications for each visit, she showed concern for our cat's experience and comfort every step of the way, she gave some tips for making it easier for everyone (e.g., blocking off places she could hide to avoid getting her meds, etc.), she was willing and able to come at specific times to keep our cat's medication routine on track, she was patient with me (and my copious and detailed notes!), she seemed to follow everything perfectly, she was punctual and dependable, she provided detailed feedback and tons of pictures and videos - and most importantly - she was able to get our shy cat to warm up to her quickly and it seems that they'll continue to get more accustomed to each other over time! Megan showed a clear understanding of cat behavior, psychology, and health and used her skills well! We have already booked with her again!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pittsburgh cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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.
