I am Lillian, a 22 year old social work graduate student at Aurora University who is interested in cat sitting in my free time. I have 2 medically complex cats of my own that I care for and would love to care for yours the same way! I have had cats my whole life and am very comfortable with all aspects of their care including medical needs. I have a very open schedule currently and am very flexible to the needs of your kitties. I have worked in an animal shelter before with the animals so I have training in their care. Please reach out to me if we could be a good fit!

Learn More About Lillian

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 2 cats of my own. One of them is a black cat that is 14 and the other is a Russian blue who is 8. The black cat is Molly and the other is Pixie.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I reach out within a few hours of accepting a new reservation. I ask the client to take some time to look over their calendar and decide a good date and time for the meet and greet. I then show up at the scheduled time and take detailed notes on the care of their kitties. I then send a message 1-2 days before the start of their reservation with a summary of my notes to make sure that I have all the correct instructions.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I have a very open schedule in general as my school program is online. I tend to be available during the holidays and I am Jewish so I don't celebrate a lot of the major ones like Christmas or Easter.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I am very tuned into the behavior of cats and the stress signs they can display so I would use that as a guide when interacting with a timid cat. I would keep my distance and allow the cat to initiate any close contact.

Lillian was great. She came out for a visit before my trip, and sent daily reports with pictures while I was away, which greatly set my mind at ease. One of my cats requires daily medication plus an occasional pill, and she handled those with no problems, and she reported that he was sneezing a lot one day, which I need to know. Everything was in good order when I returned. I am an anxious person about enrusting my cats' care to anyone, but I trust Lillian and will use her again if she's available.

Lillian graciously stepped in and took over a reservation from another cat sitter during my vacation. She had to come in without meeting my cats, with just my paper notes and took over like the professional she is. My typically warm and friendly cats were now scared and always hiding but she talked with them while they were under the bed and made sure they had everything they needed. She shared pictures, asked questions when she had them and shared updates with every visit. Lillian will be my go to sitter from now on.

Lillian was amazing! She sent detailed daily updates, including pictures. She was also willing to start cat sitting while I was there to hopefully get them comfortable. She was also very understanding when they were not comfortable until the last day or two :) , but took the time to give treats and be patient. I would highly recommend her and will use her again in the future.

We had such a wonderful experience with Lillian caring for our cat, Fireheart. Lillian truly went above and beyond—after noticing some throw up one morning, Lillian went back twice just to make sure Fireheart was okay, which gave us so much peace of mind. Lillian was incredibly attentive, communicated clearly and consistently, and was very thoughtful throughout the entire stay. Lillian also took great care of feeding our fish, which was greatly appreciated. It was clear that Fireheart was in caring and responsible hands. This is our second time with Lillian and would absolutely trust Lillian again and highly recommend Lillian to anyone looking for a dependable and compassionate pet sitter.

I have entrusted Lillian multiple times to take care of my two senior kitties and she has not let me down. Knowing that my babies are being cared for by Lillian allows me to be present and enjoy where I am with family, friends or work. Charles needs medicine twice a day for his thyroid and Lillian also administers this medicine when in her care.

I am thrilled with the service that Lillian provided for my two senior kitties. I greatly appreciated the details she provided on each visits along with photos. Knowing they were receiving wonderful care from Lillian brought me great comfort. I look forward to Lillian caring for my babies again when I have to travel.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Aurora cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet!
