I'm Stacy
Cat Sitting in Aurora, IL
Both of my current kitty babies were adopted through my full-time job as a receptionist at a veterinary hospital. They charmed me from the first moment they were brought in, as most cats do. Of course, after finding out they had no homes, what choice did I have but... I am a long-time resident of Aurora, living on the north side with my son, our orange boy, Korben Dallas and our dilute torbie girl, Paisley Poe Beatrice. I've been taking care of and loving cats for as long as I can remember. My first kitty of my own was named Nosey. I adopted him when I was 11 and I've been hooked ever since. =^..^=
Both of my current kitty babies were adopted through my full-time job as a receptionist at a veterinary hospital. They charmed me from the first moment they were brought in, as most cats do. Of course, after finding out they had no homes, what choice did I have but to give them one? :)
I love watching cats at play and exploring their surroundings. I enjoy the bonds that can form between a human and a cat, after love and attention has been shown and trust has been earned. I always make sure to use a soft voice and slow movements when interacting.
A lot of cats aren't comfortable with strangers entering their homes and it can take them awhile (or sometimes it never happens) to become friends with people outside of the household. I don't take it personally if a cat doesn't immediately fall in love with me. Animals always deserve patience and gentle, caring gestures.
When I'm not focusing my attention on all the wonderful cats in my life, I like to read horror stories, watch comic book movies (among other things) and play video games with my son. I'm a die-hard Bears fan and love professional wrestling too.
Learn More About Stacy
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love getting to see all the different personalities of cats that are out there. They are each so unique and it's great to see their traits emerge as I spend time with them.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I am all about the meet and greet! I'll set up a time and date that is convenient for my new client and show up on time. From there, they can walk me through their cat's routine, show me where all the pertinent supplies are and, of course, ask any questions they feel the need to know. I'll probably crack a few lame jokes along the way (laughing not required) and make notes about any specifics.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I definitely approach timid cats slowly. I extend my hand for acknowledgment and identification but will never try to touch or grab a cat. I will often sit or stand quietly for a few minutes if I see they are interested, but I always let them come to me. I will seek them out for verification that they are present and healthy and otherwise will leave them in peace.

Stacy was fantastic! She sent me text messages updates daily! Though she did not see both kitties, one kitty did come out to say hi (both are very shy)! If Freya loves her, so do I :) I will definitely be booking her again.

This was my second time having Stacy watch my cats and, just like last time, she was incredible. Her updates were excellent, she managed to charm my old lady cat, and she even took care of some water that leaked into my basement after a storm. Above and beyond for sure!

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 $26.00. 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!

This is the third time Stacy has watched my cats and as usual she was excellent! I booked this time pretty last minute and Stacy was very accommodating and responsive. Even my kind of grumpy older cat comes out to see her when she visits, which is no small feat!
