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

I have a deep love for cats, though I don't currently own any due to my studies; I’ve gained experience through volunteering at shelters and caring for my best friend's cats I also became a Meowtel sitter 5 months ago so I have a lot of experience from that as well! I bring empathy and attention to detail from my many experiences with volunteering and not only pet volunteering services but generally putting myself to help out in a community where I can. I look forward to caring for your cats with dedication and enthusiasm

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Well, I enjoy it firstly because of the CATS!! Their unique personalities and the joy they bring are truly special. It's fulfilling to provide them with the care, love and attention that they deserve, knowing I'm making a positive difference in their day.as they are doing the same for me

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

While I haven't had a cat sitting reservation yet, I'm eagerly looking forward to the opportunity but I know for certain that every cat brings something special to the experience, and I can't wait to create memorable moments with them

Chizoba is amazing!! I fully trusted her with my baby girl as I was traveling. She is kind, attentive, provided all the pictures and details, went above and beyond to ensure my cat was doing well and my space was maintained. I fully recommend her for any pet caretaking. ☺️

Chizoba is a wonderful person who put everything into taking care of my cat, Stanley. He was obviously happy with her and was in a really good mood when I got home. She stayed extra time with Stanley and made sure everything was perfect upon my return. I couldn't have asked for a better person or expected a better job.

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!

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!

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!

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!

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!

Zoba was great with my older cat! Minnie is “sassy” in her golden years and hisses at folks she doesn’t know. Zoba took that instride and gave me lots of photos and detailed descriptions of her time with Minnie. I will use her again!!

Chizoba was wonderful to work with! The peace of mind that comes from knowing that your cat is being cared for by someone who truly enjoys doing so is priceless. She sent videos and plenty of photos with a detailed narrative of each visit. Chizoba was also very respectful of my home and I wouldn't hesitate to book again.

Lovina

Zoba was greeeat with my little one. Upon meeting her, I felt like she genuinely cares for cats which made me feel better about leaving for a few days. Her updates were very detailed and any behavior she perceived as strange with my cat was communicated right away. When I returned my cat was her usual self with no obvious signs of stress which is huuuge for me!

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 $26.00. 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.
