Learn More About Sam

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

My favorite part of catsitting is updating paw-rents with pictures and videos of their babies as I know how much it means to me on vacation.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Stubby is a sweetheart with a single working braincell. She is a fiend for churu and will loudly let you know when breakfast is late. She loves head scratchies and belly rubs but turns into a worm if you try to pick her up. Jazzy is a sassy senior that expects princess treatment. She is slow to trust strangers but a velcro-baby with her people.

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

I prefer to stop by before sitting to meet kitties in the presence of their trusted person to learn their quirks and preferences firsthand. I make it a personal goal to gain kitty's trust and friendship before our time is over.

Sam cared for my two cats while I was out of town over a long weekend, and she did a great job communicating and sending pics. I will definitely book her again for future kitty-sitting needs.

Sam has kitty sat for my two cats multiple times, and has always provided exceptional care. She is reliable and easy to communicate with, and she quickly gained the trust of our kitties. It gives me peace of mind when I travel to know that my cats are in good hands. I wholeheartedly recommend her as a cat sitter.

Sam is reliable and so easy to communicate with! She is patient and takes her time making sure my cats aren't too anxious when we are gone. She follows instructions to the letter and isn't afraid to ask questions if she needs clarifications. And bonus, she sends photo updates of the cats when she sits!

Frequently Asked Questions

Carol Stream cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. 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.
