Pet care experience
Calm & Reliable Cat Sitter 🐈⬛
I specialize in cat-only care and understand that every cat has their own personality and routine. During visits I make sure to cover everything your cat needs: • Feeding and fresh water • Litter box scooping and monitoring • Playtime and enrichment • Calm companionship and cuddles (if they want them!) • Monitoring appetite, behavior, and litter box health You’ll receive photo and video updates during every visit so you always know how your cat is doing. ⸻ Boarding in my home: I also offer cat-only boarding for one family at a time. I only host one family’s cats at a time to keep the environment calm and stress-free. If you have multiple cats from the same household, they’re very welcome! My cat Cleo is a friendly and relaxed black cat who was raised around other cats. He enjoys playtime but is also very respectful of other cat’s space, which helps visiting cats settle in comfortably. Cats staying with me also have access to a large private bedroom retreat if they prefer their own space to relax and decompress. Because I only board one household at a time, I’m able to give visiting cats plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm environment during their stay. My home is set up specifically with cats in mind: • Two microchip feeders so cats can’t get into each other’s food • Two XL stainless steel litter boxes • A fresh bag of litter provided for each cat’s stay • Water fountain plus multiple fresh water bowls around the home • Large private bedroom retreat if your cat needs quiet time • Huge cat tree, scratch posts, and toys • Dedicated morning and evening playtime The private bedroom space includes its own litter box, toys, water, and climbing areas so cats can relax and decompress if needed. My goal is always to provide a safe, calm, and enriching environment so your cat can feel comfortable even while you’re away. I also have a lot of experience with shy cats, since my own cat Cleo is a cautious pandemic kitty who prefers slow introductions. Every cat has their own personality, and I always let them set the pace for how much interaction they want.

#1 pet sitter in East Falls
Another chance to leave a good review! If you’re wondering whether or not to book with Stephanie, don’t hesitate- she is wonderful!
Stephanie always does such a great job with our three cats. She is very caring and adaptive to new instructions. We've gone through a few cat sitters but landed on Stephanie and have never looked back!
My go to person for taking care of my cats. She’s really great with my spicy girl! Steph is the perfect sitter, I cannot recommend her enough!!!!
Stephanie is a phenomenal cat sitter! She sent plenty of videos, pictures and updates so we knew our boys were in great hands! She was thoughtful and asked for feedback to ensure our kitties felt comfortable and were well taken care of while we were away. We will definitely be using Stephanie again to watch our boys!!
Stephanie was so welcoming to our foster kitty and gave him all the love and us all the updates!

Schedule
I work from home as a writer and social media consultant, which gives me a very flexible schedule throughout the week. This allows me to plan visits around your cat’s normal routine and ensure they are fed, checked on, and cared for at consistent times each day. Because I’m home-based, I’m also available for morning, evening, and weekend visits, and can easily adjust my schedule if something unexpected comes up. Caring for animals fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I truly enjoy spending quiet time with cats while making sure they feel comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I understand that inviting someone into your home to care for your cat requires a great deal of trust, and I take that responsibility very seriously. When visiting your home I always aim to be respectful, clean, and attentive. I treat every home the way I would want someone to treat my own (will always take my shoes off). Before any booking I’m happy to schedule a meet & greet so we can review your cat’s routine together — including feeding schedules, litter box care, favorite toys, hiding spots, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. During visits you can expect: • Detailed updates after each visit • Plenty of photos and videos so you can see how your cat is doing • Careful monitoring of appetite, behavior, and litter box habits If anything ever seems unusual with your cat’s health or behavior, I will communicate right away and take appropriate action, whether that means contacting you, monitoring closely, or reaching out to a vet if necessary. My goal is always to make sure your cat feels safe, calm, and well cared for while you’re away, so you can travel with peace of mind.
Pets
A typical day
Every visit is centered around making sure your cat feels comfortable, cared for, and entertained while you’re away. • Feeding and fresh water • Litter box scooping and monitoring • Playtime to get those zoomies out • Calm companionship and attention at your cat’s pace My cat Cleo and I are big fans of interactive play, so I always make sure cats get some movement and enrichment during visits. If your cat prefers quiet company instead of playtime, I’m also very happy to simply sit with them and be a calm presence. I’m also happy to help with small home tasks while you’re away, such as watering plants or bringing in mail and packages.
