I'm Chizoba | Cat Sitting in Philadelphia, PA
Hello my name is Chizoba but you can call me Zoba (ZOO-bAH). It is a pleasure to hopefully meet you soon. As an experienced cat sitter, my passion for cats runs deep. Cats, to me, embody a uniqueness that has filled my soul with their existence of being such wonderful souls. Though I currently don't own any cats due to my commitments as a research specialist and soon to be graduate student, I've immersed myself in casually caring for them through my close involvement with my best friend's four delightful furballs who have created so much peace and joy in my heart, mind and life Beyond my personal affinity for cats, I bring practical experience to the table. During my undergraduate years, I dedicated myself to volunteering at a shelter that provided refuge for both homeless individuals and their pets. This hands-on role involved cleaning, feeding, and playing with cats and dogs, which not only enriched my understanding of animal care but also reinforced my commitment to their well-being. Additionally, I sometimes would assist my best friend's sister in volunteering at a cat shelter during my visits to Buffalo, NY, further honing my skills and knowledge. Professionally, I am currently a graduate student at Drexel University but previously worked as a Research Specialist at Adelphi Values- global healthcare value consultancy firm that blends strong commercial insights with scientific expertise in areas like market access, health economics, and patient-centered outcomes research. A role that demands precision, empathy, and attention to detail—traits essential for understanding and meeting the needs of both clients and their beloved cats. I have quite a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate various neighborhoods across Philadelphia. I am really just looking forward to gaining more experience on cat sitting and caring for cats as I hope to one day have some of my own. My ability to provide your cats the best care is reinforced by my practical experience and supported by a professional background in research and client service. I am very professional and detailed with/in my work but I also approach every opportunity with grace, joy, enthusiasm and care, ensu...

Chizoba's Reviews
Megan
Zoba was an amazing communicator and the updates I received were very thorough! I really appreciated all the detail. My kitty is very shy but he warmed up quickly to Zoba! I’ll definitely be reaching out in the future!
Sarah
Chizoba is an amazing cat sitter for my older cat. She replies in a timely manner, is responsible and thoughtful. I trust that my cat has great care with her! Her updates on how the visit went really put me at ease with how Pearl is doing while I’m away. She goes above and beyond, does all that I asked of her plus more like cleaning up the wet food dishes. Highly recommend working with Chizoba as your pet’s caretaker!
Em
Chizoba took excellent care of our elder kitty, making adjustments along the way to be sure she ate (reluctant eater) and got her meds regularly. "Z" also spent a good deal of time giving her plenty of affection, and I think this was the reason that our cat friend was doing much better than usual when we returned home. Very happy with her care!
Kristen
Zoba is the loveliest person and she took exceptionally good care of our senior girl Winnie. Zoba’s updates to us were prompt and detailed, and she won over our sometimes mercurial kitty with her calm and attentive demeanor. Zoba was also super quick to respond when our travel plans changed unexpectedly and worked with us to accommodate the new schedule. We very much look forward to working with Zoba again!
Allison
When leaving our 2 cats for the first time since moving to PA, we knew we needed to find a loving, reliable new cat sitter. Zoba was the perfect match! She is so upbeat, caring, and clearly LOVES cats. She was wonderful to communicate with before, during, and after the visit. Zoba sent us the best pictures and videos of our cats while we were away, and we could tell by their body language that they were comfortable and having a good time. We have definitely found our new sitter!

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.
