Cat Boarding in Philadelphia
Your cat stays at a local sitter's home
Cat boarding on Petme means your cat stays at a sitter's home in Philadelphia for the length of your trip. Sitters around Center City, Fishtown and Rittenhouse Square list the space they have, whether they share it with their own pets, and how many guests they take at once. You can read all of that on the profile before you send a message.
Each Philadelphia sitter sets their own nightly rate, shown on their profile before you book. Petme charges owners 0% on top, so the rate you agree is the rate you pay, and every stay includes the Protection Plan, which can contribute up to $22,000 toward eligible vet costs. The cat boarding cost guide compares home stays with catteries and vet boarding.
Sitters follow local rules. Ask your sitter how they handle guest pets in Philadelphia before you book.

FAQ
Common questions about cat boarding in Philadelphia
How much is overnight cat boarding?
In Philadelphia, each Petme sitter sets their own nightly rate, and you see it on their profile before you book. Petme adds no owner fee, so the price you agree is what you pay. The Protection Plan, which can contribute up to $22,000 toward eligible vet costs, is included.
How much does cat boarding cost per day?
Sitters price boarding per night, and one night covers the full day your cat spends at their home, so the daily cost is the sitter's nightly rate. Check what each Philadelphia sitter's rate includes before you book.
Is it better to board a cat or leave it at home?
It depends on the cat. Many cats cope best on their own turf, and for them a drop-in visit or a sitter staying at your place is the easier option. Boarding suits cats that get lonely, need medication on a schedule, or settle quickly in a new room. If your cat hides for days after a move, keep them home. If they like company, a quiet sitter's home in Philadelphia can work well.
In-home cat boarding vs a cattery?
A cattery keeps many cats in pens or condos, with staff working shifts. In-home boarding means your cat stays in one sitter's home, usually with few or no other cats, and the same person feeds them and sends you updates. A cattery suits owners who want a fixed facility. A home stay suits cats that do better with quiet and one familiar person.
How much does it cost to board a cat for a week?
A week is seven times the sitter's nightly rate. Each Philadelphia sitter sets their own price and some adjust it for longer stays, so confirm the total with them before you book.
