Cat Sitting in West Chester, PA

My name is Michelle, I have grown up in a household that had a minimum of 3 cats at a time up through adulthood. Ever since I was a teenager I was a regular cat sitter for neighbors, worked in a full service pet store (cared for cats, dogs, small animals, reptile, etc), worked in the boarding section of a vets office in addition to rescued feral cats and found them a home and friends I continue to pet sit for. I am familiar with administering medi... My name is Michelle, I have grown up in a household that had a minimum of 3 cats at a time up through adulthood. Ever since I was a teenager I was a regular cat sitter for neighbors, worked in a full service pet store (cared for cats, dogs, small animals, reptile, etc), worked in the boarding section of a vets office in addition to rescued feral cats and found them a home and friends I continue to pet sit for. I am familiar with administering medication as needed due to my previous experience at the pet store, the vet kennel and asssisiting my mother with her foster cats late her home. I like to say I was born to be a cat lady. I make friends with cats much easier than people. With cats, especially with strangers, I believe the name of the game is patience, consistency and being calm. Allow the cat to warm up to me, either way I’m here to provide comfort & essential needs for the kitties 😊

Learn More About Michelle

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

I have been cat sitting as an early teen. I grew up with multiple cats at all times in the house so at home I became familiar with cats behavior. I then was referred by my mom to pet sit for her friends and their neighbors. As a late teenager I worked at a full service pet store that sold animals and I was responsible for caring for not only the feeding and cleaning but administer medicine as well. I later worked in the kennel side of a vets office for animals that were boarding. Throughout my life I continue to pet sit for friends and family as needed (I’m 37 for context).

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I just understand cats. Growing up with multiple cats at a time as an only child my focus was on watching their body language. I love meeting a new cat especially if a cat that is more nervous around new people warms up to me. I take that as a big win. I enjoy the independence cats carry about them.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

It’s a long list of cats but my moms house takes the cake. She has her cats, some failed foster cats and usually a rotation of a litter of kittens (she volunteers at Cat Angel Network). So each room is a different cat with a different personality. How I interact with them is all different depending on the cat. Some just want food and to be left alone, some won’t stop talking the moment you walk into the room.

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.

West Chester 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!
