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

I cared for my mom's cats while she would go out of town for the last 10 years. I also have taken care of my friends' cats while they are on vacation for the last 3 years.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love all cats. Cat sitting provides the opportunity to meet new cats and learn new personalities. I love caring and loving for cats while their parents are out of town so they aren't lonely.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 3 cats. Their names are Captain Harlock, Avandra the Changeringer and Melora the Wildmother. Harlock is a 9 year old male cat who was found roaming my neighborhood streets as a kitten. Avandra is a 7 year old female cat who grew up in foster care and I adopted with my husband before we got married. Melora is a 2 year old female cat who was found at a bus station. She is our foster fail.

This was my first time using Meowtel and Sairah was helpful and friendly from the beginning. When I first reached out about pet sitting she was quick to respond. She was punctual, detail oriented and thorough when coming to meet the cats. I felt very comfortable leaving the cats in her care. She sent great pictures and updates on the cats everyday, which really helped ease my mind when traveling. She was patient with my shy kitties and they completely opened with her and were super happy even while we were gone. My cats like to play hide and seek with treats, and I mentioned it in passing but didn’t include it in their routine. However, she went above and beyond to do that activity with them, which really shows how much she cares about the cats she’s taking care of. I also have a lizard (who I didn’t include in the pet sitting) but she still sent me picture updates of him as well. Sairah is truly an excellent pet sitter and I would recommend her services to anyone looking for a pet sitter in the area.

My cat clearly enjoyed spending time with Sairah so much, that when I returned home just as Sairah was making her final visit, the cat walked off and refused to see me for at least an hour! Sairah was so good about sending daily updates and photos and I booked her again before I returned from my last trip.

I couldn’t be more pleased with the exceptional care my two cats received from Sairah while I was away. She went above and beyond in every aspect of pet sitting. From meticulously feeding them and keeping their area spotless to engaging with my playful boy and patiently coaxing my shy kitty out of her shell, she demonstrated genuine dedication and skill. Sairah was consistently punctual, providing detailed updates and wonderful pictures that reassured me of their well-being. I can tell from the pics that my boy Athos enjoyed her visits! Overall, Sairah is amazing, and I wouldn’t hesitate to entrust her with my cats again! Her level of care and professionalism are top tier.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lake Forest cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $34.00. 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.
