I'm Melissa | Cat Sitting in Pittsburgh, PA
Hi there! My name is Melissa. I am a lover of all cats, and mom to my kitty companion: Leo. My hope for cat sitting is to add your kitty to the list of cats I’ve had the honor of meeting & loving. I have grown up around cats for as long as I can remember and wasted no time adopting a cat of my own once moving out of my parents house. My cat, Leo, is a 9 year old cat who I adopted almost 3 years ago. He is my best friend, but he prefers to keep our household to a one cat household. For that reason, I decided to begin cat sitting as a way to spend time with more cats while respecting Leo’s wishes to not have another in the house. I am experienced in providing ora...

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 $29.00. 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.
