I'm Boston
Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA
I bring full-on cat dad energy to every visit: sill... Hi! I'm a lifelong cat dad, proud parent to my senior kitty Frisco (17 years strong!), and your go-to cat sitter in South Philly. For over 15 years, I’ve cared for cats of all kinds — from cuddly couch potatoes to spicy TNR’d ferals. I’ve fostered abandoned kittens, volunteered at shelters, and built trust with even the shyest kitties.
I bring full-on cat dad energy to every visit: silly voices, soothing pets, careful feeding, and plenty of playtime (or just lap time, if that’s more your cat’s vibe). Whether your furball needs meds, affection, or just someone to curl up to while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own.
Based in South Philly, I have a flexible schedule to ensure your cat gets the attention they deserve. I’d love to care for your feline family!
Learn More About Boston
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love meeting cats with all different personalities. I love cats who play hard to get and take a special amount of patience to build trust with. I love goofy cats with quirky needs. I love bringing care and social time to a cat who is missing their pet parent.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
My beloved cat Frisco has been with me for 16 years since he was a kitten. He’s still rambunctious and mischievous and so loving! I lost my other long loved cat, Finn, to illness in 2024 and I miss her all the time.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I love to hear from the pet parent first about their cats unique needs, personality, boundaries, and likes and dislikes.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I always make sure to look out for cats as I am opening and closing doors. I always make sure that all cats in the home are present and accounted for and appear healthy and happy. I always make sure to carefully lock up when I’m done a visit.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Usually! I tend to stay in town for most holidays and love to drop in on my regular kitty clients before I have a holiday meal or hang with my family and friends.

Boston was a complete professional in making sure Franz and Ferdinand were safe and fed while we were in Madrid. Philadelphia even had a blizzard while we were away and Boston allowed us an extra day to check that the cats were ok while the city was snowed in! Overall it was a stress-free vacation knowing our cats had everything they needed while we were away!

Boston knew all the questions to ask to ensure to get the job right and I was really impressed by that. He considered things I hadn’t thought of as this was my first time using a service. Def will be booking again when the time comes.

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:

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.
Philadelphia cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!

Boston has been sitting my cat Cannoli for years when I’m on vacation or out of town. He is reliable and professional, and Cannoli loves him! He takes the time to give Cannoli engaging play time and I always look forward to seeing photos of Cannoli while I’m away.
