Cat Sitting in Pittsburgh, PA

I grew up in a multi-cat household with a wide array of cat personalities and medical needs. I now have 4 cats - Tit (the spicy overlord of the house), Bits (the sweetest little house manager), Mr. Bud (the shy old man), and Waffles(the floppy menace.) I also have 3 dogs Ringo, Elvis, and Jagger.

I now have 4 cats - Tit (the spicy overlord of the house), Bits (the sweetest little house manager), Mr. Bud (the shy old man), and Waffles(the floppy menace.) I also have 3 dogs Ringo, Elvis, and Jagger.

I have experience with fostering cats that need extra help adjusting to life in a home/with humans. From a young age shy animals had a tendency to gravitate toward me. This quality has been an asset when working on foster cat socialization.

I work at a local nonprofit during the day and coaching marching percussion usually fills my evenings and weekend.

I had a fantastic experience with Shayla as my cat sitter! Our meet and greet was great. She asked thoughtful questions and really took the time to understand my cats’ needs. My cat had just undergone a more intense dental surgery than expected, and I was nervous about leaving him. Shayla completely put my mind at ease with her excellent care. She made sure he got the wet food and attention he needed, and her daily updates with pictures were so reassuring. I truly felt he was in good hands. I would absolutely hire Shayla again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!

I can always rely on Shayla not only to take good care of my cats, but also to handle things like early deliveries of perishables. (She opened the box and stored everything in the freezer - excellent!)

Shayna was fantastic! She was courteous, professional, and kind! I appreciated her updating me on how my kitty was doing during my trip. She also did a great job looking after my cat, who can have a real attitude and likes to be queen of the castle. It was a 10/10 experience and I would recommend her to any one looking for a cat caretaker!

Both times we’ve booked with Shayla were excellent! She’s knowledgeable, provides updates at every visit, followed any instructions we left very well, and helped keep our cats on their normal routine while we were traveling. Even our less social cats - who can sometimes be unfriendly to strangers - seemed to have no problems. We would absolutely book with Shayla again (and would recommend her to anyone)!

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!
