Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL
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... Hi there :)
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 send plenty of pictures, videos, and detailed updates so you can relax and enjoy your time away; knowing your pet is being loved and cared for. I’ve included some of my favorite shots I’ve taken of my beautiful kitty clients over the years on my profile. Be sure to check them out!
I currently live in the Rogers Park. I usually keep my travel time to 30 min or less each way. I'm willing to travel a little farther for overnight visits though! If you're unsure if you're too far away, feel free to send me a message with your neighborhood and/or cross streets near you.
If you have any questions don’t hesitate to reach out!

Alissa was fantastic! She sent detailed updates after each visit with pictures and videos, and even vacuumed up after my cats! She truly went above and beyond and I would absolutely schedule with her next time I’m traveling.

Alissa is an exceptional cat sitter and we were so lucky to find her! She cared for our two shy cats, Boots and Scout, for 12 days while we were in Alaska, and she exceeded every expectation. Her communication was incredible. In fact, we received detailed updates and videos each evening, which made us feel completely at ease while we were so far away. What stood out most was her patience and understanding of our cats’ personalities. She took the time to build trust with them, never rushing the process, and it truly showed in how relaxed they were when we returned. Alissa also went above and beyond by offering support and guidance to our morning sitter, a high school student heading off to college, which made the transition between sitters seamless. Her ability to read feline body language, adapt to their comfort levels, and keep everyone (cats and humans) at ease is a rare gift. We can’t recommend Alissa enough and will absolutely be reaching out to her for all of our future trips. She’s not just a cat sitter; she’s a true cat whisperer.

Alissa was great, she came over for a meet and greet, and was really thoughtful with her care for my cat while I was in another country. She went the extra mile with taking care of the water fountain, which isn’t straightforward. Highly recommend!

From the moment Alissa walked in, it was clear she has a special gift with cats. She came for a meet-and-greet with our two cats, Boots & Scout, and instantly put all of us at ease. She knew exactly how to approach them in that very first interaction, and it was clear she understands feline body language and behavior on a deep level. She quickly built trust with both cats (who are both extremely shy), which gave me complete peace of mind leading up to our extended trip to Alaska. She is hands-down incredible and I cannot recommend her enough!

Alissa did a great job caring for our two tortie cats Dora and Ruby. She made our very particular kitties comfortable and by the last day they were out and about, playful and affectionate. Thanks Alissa!

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 $28.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!

Alissa is a wonderful cat sitter and I highly recommend her! She always told me approximately when she would be arriving for the visits, and she was always on time. Her response time texting is incredibly fast so no worries there if you have immediate questions on how your cat is doing. My cat really enjoyed playing with her, and I could tell she gave him some good quality time with the videos she sent me. She has a great knowledge of cats in general and gave me some recommendations on possible health issues my kitty could be experiencing. I will definitely book Alissa in the future!

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!

This was our first time using a professional cat sitter and Alissa put our minds at ease with her cute photos, videos, and clear and reassuring communication. She was very patient and gentle with our shy cat, who takes a while to warm up. She did a great job with medication administration also. We highly recommend Alissa and will be reaching out to her the next time we need kitty care!

This was my first time using Meowtel and leaving my cats for an extended period, and Alissa was absolutely amazing! She genuinely cared for my kitties, which really put my mind at ease. Throughout my three-week trip, she kept me updated with messages and adorable photos of my cats. She even went above and beyond by helping transfer my keys when someone else needed access to my apartment. Alissa was incredibly helpful and such a relief to have—I’ll definitely be booking with her again! :-)

Alissa is awesome. She took care of our "kids" as if they were her own and sent great feedback. She even made sure my medication that was delivered was properly stored in the refrigerator. She's great and I am extremely grateful for her help. She's very trustworthy and honest and a very kind person.

Everything related to Alissa's cat sitting services was perfect. Couldn't have asked for more. She was extremely flexible and accommodating and offered to do many things outside of cat sitting (watering plants, bringing in mail, etc.). She was reliable and friendly and both cats immediately liked her when she met them despite them being a bit shy around strangers sometimes. Very good updates with pics and videos and a summary of the visit. We felt confident she was caring for them well.

Alissa was extremely communicative and a pleasure to interact with. the cats loved her, and you could tell from all the videos and pictures she sent. it was such a relief to know they were in her very capable and attentive hands. Our family will feel much more confident traveling in the future knowing Alissa is available to care for our cats. 5 billion stars, no notes. 😸😺

If you want to dissolve any worry about your cats care while you're gone, book Alissa! I felt so secure knowing she was visiting every day and loved getting a photo or video every visit so I could "check in" with Luna and see that she was doing alright. Alissa is very responsive and her days seem well planned out; she definitely is a cat sitting professional!

Alissa was wonderful to work with. She went above and beyond with our cats to make sure they had what they needed, which included giving a very stubborn cat insulin twice per day. She sent updates, pictures, and videos each time she visited, which put our minds at ease while we were away.

Bunny just LOVED Alyssa! Bunny is normally a little shy, but she went right up to her during the meet and greet. Alyssa sent me little videos while I was gone, and they'd be hanging out on the couch enjoying each others' company. Bunny has medication she needs twice a day and she got all her doses and was well fed. Bunny is underweight, and it looks like she might have even gained a little weight, which I've been trying to get her to do. Alyssa kept the litter box cleaner than I do. I can't recommend her her highly enough!!! I wouldn't hesitate in the least to use her again.

Alissa has done a great job with my kitties, gaining their trust and going out of her way to play with them and walk them their favorite ways. She’s also done a fantastic job at keeping their very different diets and meds straight. I feel totally comfortable leaving my boys with her, and hope she’s available for my next trip!

Alissa was an amazing sitter! She was loving and attentive to Frankie's (my cat) needs. It was very hot on the weekend that I was out of town, and I do not have AC, and she kept me updated on Frankie's food intake and overall well-being and demeanor which helped me feel at ease and like Frankie was in such good hands. She send daily updates, and video's and pictures too, which I loved so much!! Overall, she is an amazing, loving, caring cat sitter. I would recommend her to anyone, and will definitely be utilizing her services the next time I am leaving town.
Jaime

Alyssa was simply fantastic. This was the first time I had to leave town and have someone come over to take care of my cat, and Alyssa was extremely patient and persistent with my skittish and timid cat. I have had a few sitters since Alyssa took care of my cat (would have booked her again if she was available during the time, but she was already fully booked), and I think it was because of her care and persistence that my cat really opened up and was friendly and social with the other sitters I had from Meowtel. If I still lived in town, Alyssa would be the only sitter I’d get!

Alissa was amazing. This was our first time leaving our cat (Alice) for more than a week and it was wonderful to know that she was so well taken care of.

Would absolutely book with her again & recommend her to anyone! :)

I booked Alissa to watch my senior cat Maude while I was away for 10 days. was anxious about leaving her for that long, but Alissa put me at ease with her regular video, updates and quick responses. Maude was clearly a fan as well, as she started waiting for Alissa in the window when she would arrive at her scheduled time. I will absolutely be booking Alissa again- she’s clearly someone who loves her job and loves her kitty clients :)

Alissa has been seeing my cat for a few years now and she is always great! she administers his medication and has been very flexible with scheduling. honestly I struggle trusting anyone else with Toby at this point and I know he loves to see her. gives me so much peace of mind knowing he is well cared for while I’m away.

Alissa was fabulous! My cat has retreated a bit with visitors due to Covid, but Tiggs loved Alissa. I got daily updates and videos and when I came back everything was very neat and clean. She also took the smelly litter cleanings with her so my trash and home wouldn't smell. Highly recommend!
Carley

Alissa was AMAZING with my very scared/unsure/aggressive with new people cat. We were away on a week long vacation and Alissa stopped by twice a day to feed/say hi to our cat, Dobby. She was extremely patient with him and gave us great updates at every visit. I wasn't stressed at all knowing that Dobby was in good hands with Alissa! She even got him to play a little bit, which is rare with new people. Would absolutely book her again.
Brooke

Alissa took such good care of my cat while I was away! She even offered to sweep up litter when he decided to kick a bunch out of his box. Getting photos and videos each day was really nice too. I’ll definitely have Alissa watch Ham again in the future!
Joy

Best experience. Was so nervous to leave kitty alone for over a week for the first time. So glad I found Meowtel and Alissa. My cat was very shy but Alissa was gentle and took her time and the cat now loves her. My anxiety melted away while I was gone as Alissa kept me updated and sent videos. Would absolutely recommend and will book her again.
Megan
June 30, 2021
This was our first time hiring a sitter to come check on our furbaby while away (normally we ask a friend to stop by) and I couldn't be happier. I was much more at ease throughout the week knowing someone was going there every single day. It was especially good the week we were away since there were some bad storms and we had peace of mind knowing someone was already stopping by and could check on the windows etc. Alissa was fantastic and went above and beyond to send pictures and/or videos every day as well as water the outside plants when they needed it. I will definitely be using Meowtel in the future, and Alissa if she's available!
Maria
March 22, 2021
Alissa is a great cat sitter. My cats loved her! One of my cats needed medication at specific hours and she was able to accommodate for this. She communicated with us and sent pictures and text every time she came to watch the cats. Really great experience!
Sara

Alissa did an awesome job! Our little furball can be a handle and does not like new people. Alissa was determined to win him over and was able to do so over the course of our vacation. She sent daily video updates of her progress and we could tell she genuinely wanted to build a connection with our cat.
Lynda
January 2, 2020
Alissa was such a great sitter. She visited our cats during the holiday period while we were out and ensured they received cuddles, food, treats, and clean litter! She even sent photos/video for each visit. Would have no problem recommending her to anyone! Thank you :)

Alissa was amazing. We know our cat can be difficult with new people and she rose to the occasion in every way. Not only did she deal with our cats anxiety, she handled ours as well, nervous things may be going wrong. Would have her sit for us anytime!

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.
Connie

I contacted Alissa on relatively short notice and was so pleased she was able to accommodate me and my three cats despite this being my first contact with her. She did an outstanding job and I'll definitely reach out to her in the future when needed. She promptly returned my messages and most importantly, was great with the cats, including the shy kitty. There's a reason she currently has 144 five-star ratings. Well done and many thanks!

Alissa was wonderful! I was out of the country for a week, first time away from my cat for that long. Alissa sent videos and pictures throughout her visits and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my cat was cared for. Would have her care for my cat again! Highly recommended!

Alissa was so great with my Charlie and he really took a shine to her! He's a very shy cat and it was my first time leaving him since I got him over a year ago. She made everything so much less stressful with daily updates/photos/videos! I will definitely use Alissa again!

Excellent cat sitter! Very communicative, professional, and kind. One cat walked up to her immediately during the meet and greet which is unusual. I felt very at ease leaving them in her care. Will definitely call on her again.

Alissa was/is amazing :) She came by before our trip to meet the cats/see our apartment & I instantly felt like I found the right girl for us. It's obvious that she genuinely loves helping pets & their people - I felt at ease immediately after meeting her. She stayed overnight with them for a couple days & when I returned everything was just as tidy as we left it, and the cats were obviously loved on (usually when my boyfriend & I come back from a trip, they are super excited & won't leave us alone - but this time, we were old news lol) Will definitely use Alissa's services in the future!

We have a quite difficult cat, and Alissa did far better than can be expected. She was creative and found ways to work with Buddy under what's likely to have been significant pressure. Will hire again without question, if she'd be willing.

Alissa is amazing! We received daily updates & videos while we were on a longer than usual vacation. Knowing our senior kitty was in good hands allowed us to relax while away. She was relaxed and happy when we returned, so we know she got lots of love & attention from Alissa as well.

Alissa is a fantastic cat sitter. I recently used her for a week to watch over my elderly cat. Her daily updates eased any worries I had about leaving my old boy home alone. I came home to find him happy, well taken care of, and not stressed out. I’d absolutely use Alissa again in the future.

Michelle

Alissa is a wonderful cat sitter. Even though my cat is antisocial - cat's loss. But Alissa ensured she was fed, and that the box was being used so the cat was ok if invisible. She was able to work with our schedule to get keys and such too which was pretty insane with my short time frame so that was wonderful too.

Alissa took great care of our kitties! Our cats absolutely loved her when she came to meet them. She kept us updated and sent videos and pictures every day. For the first time we never worried about our cats while on vacation, and thanks to Alissa we had a wonderful time! We are very fortunate to have found her, and definitely recommend her. Hope she'll be available next time we go on vacation. Thanks again Alissa!!

Hiro

Alissa was wonderful!! From the first time we began communicating, she seemed genuine and caring and that is what a person seeks when searching for this type of service for the family cat. She gave constant updates during my trip away. She also went out of the way to check our mail and to make sure our cat was given love and care. My cat is fairly shy towards people she just met, but she took an immediate liking to Alissa. I can not recommend a better sitter! You will have no worries and know that your pet is in great hands! I highly recommend Alissa.
