I'm Alissa | Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL
Hi there :) **Christmas visits- on Christmas Eve 12/24 I can do visits up until 2pm and Christmas Day 12/25 I can do visits after 2pm** If you have any questions regarding Christmas time visits just send me a message! I’ve been a Meowtel sitter since 2018. It started out as a way to make some extra cash and has since turned into a full time gig. I did it! I found the perfect job! I’ve sat (literally) hundreds of cats in the city of Chicago and loved every moment. I’m also a cat parent so I very much understand how difficult and guilt inducing it can be leaving your beloved pet behind. That’s why I make sure to se...
Alissa's Reviews
Ellen
Alissa has taken care of my cats twice now, and has been AMAZING both times. She is the first professional pet sitter I've ever used, and I will literally never go back to begging favors from friends and family when I go out of town. Alissa is incredibly friendly and professional, and takes such good care of my babies. I knew she was the cat sitter for us when my shy cat let Alissa pet her by the end of the introduction visit - and that shy little kitten is now OBSESSED with Alissa and loves her visits! Alissa made sure my grumpy old lady cat got her medication and they both got love and play time. I never worried for a second that they were well taken care of! As a bonus, Alissa also takes the BEST goofy pictures of my younger cat, which makes getting updates from her an extra treat. 10/10, one million stars, would recommend, and will be booking with Alissa whenever I go out of town!

Alissa is amazing! We have a high needs kitty who needs meds twice a day and she was great. Will definitely book again.
Ethan
We booked Alissa admittedly on too short of notice, but luckily she was available to watch out 2 cats while we were away. She was very responsive and she handled our cats well. We really appreciate her taking the time to visit our 2 cats while we made a quick trip.
Madeline
We book Alissa when we are out of town and I feel so at ease knowing she is coming to spend time with our two cats. She is the best!
Caitlyn
I always know my boy will be well cared for during Alissa’s visits! Will absolutely book again with her.

Frequently Asked Questions
Chicago cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $35.00. 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.
