I'm Christine | Cat Sitting in Buffalo Grove, IL
PLEASE: NONSMOKING HOMES ONLY. They call me Auntie Christine :) Ever since I started housesitting in 2016, I enjoy it more each year. I love all animals and of course dogs too but call myself a cat person bc cats reached a part of my heart I never knew existed! After catsitting for almost 10 years, I am now auntie to more than a dozen cats and a content cat lady. They say I’m a cat whisperer: I love slow blinks, afternoon naps, toebeans and speak cat. Over the years, I've cared for various cat breeds, ages and personalities, including a pair of calico queens in Bucktown (with me their mere servant); a tuxedo brother-duo in Lakeview who were little rascals that let me know when it's playtime (also the smartest boys who could open cabinets); and a 4yo shy baby whom I turned into a lap kitty (to the surprise and delight of her pawrents). Before the pandemic, I regularly housesat three precious 5-6yo darlings with various temperaments and adorable quirks every winter for 5 years in West Palm Beach to escape the Chicago snow.

Christine's Reviews
Katy
Auntie Christine is an exceptional cat sitter and cat whisperer. She clearly speaks "cat". My cat who can often stay glued to her chair with anxiety was up to greet Christine and play lots of games with her especially chase the feather. My other cat ran for her to wait until she sat down so she could snuggle in her lap. Christine is an example of someone who is a perfect fit for what she does. She deeply cares about cats. She is curious about their personality and their likes and dislikes. She knows how to draw cats out and make them feel loved and comfortable. She is a great communicator and has a great sense of humor. Her updates and pictures were a definite highlight of our vacation and we returned to very happy cats who are still looking around the house to find Christine.

Christine was AMAZING!!! She was super attentive during our meet & greet, and took careful notes. We felt immediately at ease, and knew our kitties would be in great hands. We don’t travel often, so when we do, we miss our kitties tremendously. Christine shared photos at every visit, with personalized notes of what the cats were up to and how they were doing. She is also a shy-kitty whisperer! Our boy Charlie came out from under the bed and spent time with Christine which was great to see (she sent photos and videos!). She even sent us a “Christmas card” from the kitties on Christmas Day. Towards the end of our booking, we reached out to Christine to see if she would be available in case the weather turned bad and our flight home would be delayed (we were coming back from Colorado). She eased our minds and was flexible in case we did need to add an extra visit. Overall, we would love to book with Christine again - and we highly recommend her to anyone. Thank you, Christine!! 😻😻

Christine was phenomenal with our two cats while we were away for the holidays! She is absolutely incredible with cats. We'll certainly be requesting her to take care of them in the future!

Christine did a great job caring for our cat Ellie while we traveled out of state. Ellie requires daily medication and Christine handled it like a champ! I would definitely recommend Christine.

I could tell from the videos just how much my Julie loved the visits while I was out of town!

Frequently Asked Questions
Buffalo Grove cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $36.00. 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.
