I'm Sonja | Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA
My name is Sonja, and I’d love to be your cat sitter! While I’ve always liked cats, the real spark for me came in high school when my parents got a beautiful gray 6-month-old kitten for our family. She was quiet and cuddly at first, so I named her Pia (short for Pianissima, like the musical term for very quiet)... and then of course she grew up to be very loud and expressive with her meows! I love her and other cats for exactly who they want to be—whether that’s loud or quiet, affectionate or shy, bolting around the room or sleeping on the bed all day—and I take care to meet them where they’re at. I don’t have a cat of my own, so taking care of other people’s fluffy companions brings me a lot of joy! I’ve been the doting aunt to...

Sonja's Reviews
Lea
Sonja was awesome with our cat! We loved seeing him so happy everyday while we were gone, and she was very attentive to problems that arised.

Siobhan
Sonja was really great with communication during booking, was quick to respond and answer all my questions. She took good care of my fur babies while I was gone all day, keeping them company. I came back to settled kitties, plenty of water and a clean litter box. I liked that she sent pics, asked questions to get to know them better, and provided me updates so I didn’t need to worry. She also tidied up after herself. I definitely plan to book her again!
Linda
Sonja was professional and responsive throughout the entire reservation. She sent detailed daily check-ins and photos of my kitty, watered my plants and brought in the mail. There was one snafu with the front door lock which was stressful but she was very responsive and we worked it out. I can tell she cares for the kitties she watches so I recommend her!
Victoria

Frequently Asked Questions
Philadelphia 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.
