I'm Barbara | Cat Sitting in Arlington Heights, IL

Hi there everyone! My name is Barb and I have been a cat mamma for over 30 years! I love all cats and enjoy getting to know their personalities. My goal is to leave you with total peace of mind that your kitties are well taken care of. I have had cats all through my childhood. Fun fact- My dad was a veterinarian! Fast forward 35 years and we have had many cats, all since adopted from Kay's ...

Learn More About Barbara

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

I have been cat sitting for Meowtel for almost 4 years. I have had cats my whole life.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love when I have a client who says that they were able to enjoy their vacation because I quickly gave them confidence that their cat was in good hands. I also love to win over a shy cat.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

We have a 7-year old tabby named Louis. He loves to snuggle under blankets and head butt you for attention. Sadly our 16-year old cat Whiskers passed away a week before Christmas. We miss him dearly.

Barbara is fantastic - we loved receiving our daily updates and the fact that our shy kitty warmed to her quickly made us feel feel so so comfortable with her as a go to sitter for future trips!

Barb was a wonderful caretaker for our 2 kitties while we were out of the country for 2 weeks! She provided detailed updates for every visit, pictures, took in mail & packages, watered plants, and cleaned up messes made by the cats. Above and beyond, highly recommend!!

Barbara took such excellent care of my fur babies, again. I actually planned my vacation schedule to her availability, because I know the excellent care she gives my cats. Noah requires oral medicine 2x per day, and she administered it better than I do! I am very grateful there is someone who loves my kitties like their own to look after them.

Barbara was beloved of my little Abigail. Very attentive and definitely took good care of her. She took extra care with updates, pictures, watered my plants and obviously did some amazing clean up.

Barb is amazing! it's stressful leaving your fur babies. More so when one of them is sick and requires medicine. Barb provided the detailed information I requested, sent pictures and videos, and treated my 2 cats like they were her own. Barb took such great care of my cats, I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation. I can't recommend her enough, and would definitely use her again!
