Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL

Hi! I've been sitting with MeowteI since 2022, and I love getting to know so many good cats! I have a special understanding for scared and shy kitties. I am a cat mom of two: Jerome T. Mousenik, a 14-year-old Russian Blue, who was adopted from Paws in 2012, and in 2022, we took in a young stray Tuxedo, Charlie Girl. I know how hard it can be to find a reliable cat sitter who understands that cats need more than just their food refilled, they also need attention and companionship and a nice clean litter box... Hi! I've been sitting with MeowteI since 2022, and I love getting to know so many good cats! I have a special understanding for scared and shy kitties. I am a cat mom of two: Jerome T. Mousenik, a 14-year-old Russian Blue, who was adopted from Paws in 2012, and in 2022, we took in a young stray Tuxedo, Charlie Girl. I know how hard it can be to find a reliable cat sitter who understands that cats need more than just their food refilled, they also need attention and companionship and a nice clean litter box. I was a Kitty City volunteer at Paws Chicago for 5 years, and took the level 2 training which qualified me to work with more "challenging" cats. I'm comfortable connecting with cats of all personalities and temperaments (and I will probably sing made-up cat songs to your cat when I visit)!

I'm on the NW side and prefer to keep travel to no more than 20 minutes, but I'm close to public transit and also have a car.

I'm happy to send pictures of your kitties while you are away; I know that always gives me peace of mind when traveling. One of my favorite pastimes is admiring cats in windows when I'm out for a walk in my neighborhood (Albany Park) and I hope I get to meet your cats too!

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I've been officially sitting for Meowtel since July 2022. I have had cats off and on my whole life, and was also a Kitty City Level 2 volunteer at Paws Chicago for 5 years.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Meeting so many awesome cats! My phone is filled with pictures of so many of my fur buddies, many of whom I get to see again and again!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

This is sad, but I had a long time kitty client, named Creature, who recently crossed the rainbow bridge. Her mom travels a lot for work, so I got to see Creature many, many times over the last 3 years. She was a sweet elderly calico, a bit deaf, and I loved her dearly. Her health went downhill this summer, but she continued to be the sweetest baby. Her mom invited me to come say goodbye to her one last time on her last day, and it was very special. I held her and told her how much I loved her. I feel very lucky that I got to know Creature because of Meowtel.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Jerome T. Mousenik, Esq, hes a Russian Blue adopted from Paws and Charlie Girl, a Tuxedo, who was a feral TNR cat in my neighborhood that I befriended, who is now the best little housekitty!

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

I get down low so I am not so tall and scary, and I speak in a soft voice. I'll offer some treats if they have them. I respect that they might need to hide and never force an interaction.

Suzanne is an AMAZING cat sitter!! We have a high needs cat and she took excellent care of him. She gave him his daily medicine (twice a day, in fact) and monitored his litter box use and food intake. Her communication was off the charts great. She sent photos and updates and made sure we knew his health status. Hudson is a tad prickly and she absolutely warmed his grouchy little heart. We will hire her again! Thank you, Suzanne from the cat parents and Hudson.

Suzanne was lovely! I just moved into a new apartment, so my cat was very shy, but Suzanne was incredibly patient with her and still sent me sweet and thorough updates. Would happily book again!

Suzanne was a life saver to help with my two kitties while I was away from home for two weeks. My cats are used to me bugging them almost 24-7, so I had some anxiety for leaving them any amount of time. immediately, I felt better after the initial touch base visit, where I was able to go through the particular needs of each cat, since they’re very different from one another, but both a little needy for attention. Great experience, will use again in future 100%!

Suzanne is a fabulous cat sitter! She took excellent care of our two cats, provided adorable photos and great communication all around. The cats were so happy when we returned from our trip and I know it’s because they had such good care. Highly recommend Suzanne!

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.

Chicago cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
