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!

Frequently Asked Questions
Arlington Heights cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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.
