I'm Drew
Cat Sitting in Pittsburgh, PA
Thank you for taking the time to review my profile and qualifications.
I joke I was my mother’s first born human as strays and rescue cats preceded me as siblings. I’ve never not known a life without feline friendship so, as an adult, it was an easy transition to adopt a bonded sister kitty pair and love them for over 12 years, equaling well over 30 years of total experience... Hello! Lifelong Cat-Lady here (I even played a big cat on a stage at Heinz field, once)!

I joke I was my mother’s first born human as strays and rescue cats preceded me as siblings. I’ve never not known a life without feline friendship so, as an adult, it was an easy transition to adopt a bonded sister kitty pair and love them for over 12 years, equaling well over 30 years of total experience.
I also have often been the go-to, trustworthy contact for colleagues and friends with cats, dogs and babies, and I consider myself honored to be chosen for the responsibility!
My “girls” crossed the rainbow bridge in 2022 and 2024 and, while I’m not ready to rescue or adopt at this time, I am ready and have been loving caring for furbabies once again. It fills a huge void in my heart and makes me so happy to be of service to you and your family.
I am most accustomed to overnight stays; however, I am available for early morning and post-work drop ins. I also am in the process of saving to purchase my first home ever and I couldn’t think of a better way to earn extra income.
I look forward to chatting and learning how I can fit into you and your fur-family’s schedules and needs!
Learn More About Drew
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
You know your cat(s) best, so trust your intuition. Choose someone that is responsible, attentive and communicates clearly and effectively. Sitters are not a one size fits all, so do make sure you hire through this site, as all sitters are background checked and hired in confidence.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I am usually available during the holidays. My first holiday sit was way back in 2011 and it is when I met my girls whom I would end up adopting and loving for many, many years.
What is your favorite cat toy?
I have always loved a laser pointer. It is a wonderful stimulation tool that allows cats to expend a lot of energy. I prefer toys that work on the cats’ instincts and provide them with restful sleep as a result of the playtime.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I let timid and anxious cats make the rules. My job is not to force interaction but simply let them come to me if and when they are ready. I also remain calm and quiet to assure them that I am a safe and secure individual that is there to feed, nurture and care for them.

Drew was fantastic! Our old little kitty needed a buddy to stay with while we traveled. She sent us updates and photos and our cat was very happy.

I needed a cat sitter last minute and Drew stepped in immediately. We couldn't do a meet-and-greet but were able to coordinate well through the chat. My kitty cat was well taken care of and I got great picture updates. Very happy with Drew and will be sure to use them in the future.

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.
All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.
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 $27.00. 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!

Drew is one of the most caring cat people on this earth! She treats each animal she meets with such love, and will always care for your pet like they are her own. I always feel so confident leaving my cats in her care, which makes my trips away so much less stressful. She communicates, knows how/when to troubleshoot on her own, is respectful of other people's spaces, but most importantly loves and cares for her cat clients so deeply. Drew is truly the best!
