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.

Learn More About Megan
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.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I am typically available during most major holidays.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I have extensive experience working with anxious cats, from years of volunteeeing and fostering with under socialized and fractious community cats. I guarantee what I call a “proof of life” photo each visit, even of the shyest cats. Other than making sure a shy cat is safe and secure (and eating/using the bathroom), I mostly let them approach me. I try to find a neutral spot on the floor where they can feel safe observing me and potentially approaching. Not every cat is interested and that’s ok! But many find they get lonely and I’m *good enough* to engage with!

Megan is the best and took excellent care of our two cats (one of whom is on a special hydrolyzed food diet and meds). Our cats seemed immediately comfortable and happy in Megan’s presence and they were extremely well cared for while we were gone! We loved all the updates, videos, and photos. Megan is also experienced at giving pills to cats and we were very grateful for that. Couldn’t ask for a better cat carer!

Megan did a great job, yet again. The last visit was in December and Megan was willing to come do a (re)meet & greet before the visit in May. Very kind of her and reassuring to us! It really demonstrated her commitment to quality cat care / experience! The previous visits had been great, but this time Megan even took it up a notch - thanks to Megan's quality care, calmness, consistency, and skill our Kitty went from being fine with / tolerating her presence to them obviously being buddies! Megan really is amazing at what she does, and we are so thankful for her care of our Kitty when we are away! And for those of you with cats who need transdermal medicines - Megan is excellent with this task!

Once again, Megan was amazing! Our Kitty is so comfortable with her now, thanks to Megan's consistency, skills, and demeanor. Megan is a pro at transdermal medications. Megan also proved to be outstanding regarding household issues and emergencies. We had a surprise ant situation in our kitchen that Megan was so kind about and a water main break on our street that Megan promptly called in while providing our Kitty with all the necessities (even without running water). Megan is a pro and we're so thankful for her!

Megan once again did a great job with our Kitty! We were away for two nights, and Megan did a great job with 3 different transdermal medications, monitoring a rash, and lots of particular requests. She always keeps us updated on how our Kitty is doing (her activities, physical stuff, and her mood) and she keeps our Kitty happy while we are away. Megan always demonstrates patience, kindness, and skill! We're so thankful for Megan!

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
- Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

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 $25.00. 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!

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!

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!

Megan is wonderful! Megan and our Kitty have worked together for a year now, and they are very comfortable with each other! This is because Megan has great skill with cats - she reads them well, responds effectively to their needs, and is able to do important things like successfully apply transdermal medications. Those points plus Megan's dependability, meticulousness, and easy-going and kind nature have made us feel so comfortable with her, too! Whether we're out for a few days on a trip or just out for an evening event, we are at ease knowing that Megan is taking good care of our Kitty while we're out. Top notch scores for communication, timeliness, cat skill, cat understanding, and cat parent understanding!

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!
