My reservation was awesome, Annie took excellent care with my cat while I was away not only to feed and check up on her but also gave her TONS of quality play time and I could tell my cat had a blast with both visits- the pictures were such a treat and I appreciate so much the very fun and thorough updates, they were a huge comfort to read 😸🙏 thank you so much again from me and Mouse!

I felt instantly comfortable upon my meet & greet with Annie and knew she'd be the perfect kitty charmer for my shy kitty. Annie was very thoughtful and detail-oriented, ensuring to get all the information needed ahead of the visit as well as throughout to ensure everything went smoothly. She provided thorough updates to let me know how each visit went (with photos!), which made me even more confident my cat was having the best time with her. Will definitely be booking Annie again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.

We were very nervous to leave our kitties while we went across the world to Japan! But Annie put us at ease from the meet and greet with her friendliness and clear 'cat-whisperer' abilities. Our two cats took to her immediately, and she sent us amazing updates of them playing and having a great time while we were gone. We think they miss her now that we're back! 😹We would absolutely recommend Annie and plan on booking with her again.

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!

Annie is absolutely fantastic! I’m a repeat client and she was clearly excited to see my cat again. she sends wonderful updates and is super responsive. I have a senior cat and I love knowing that Annie has experience with that and would know if anything was off with my furbaby.

Great sitter for our litter. She made she they felt as at home as if we were there, tending to them and sending pictures to us as well.

Annie was amazing. Copious, detailed reports of every visit with lots of pictures. Lots of good playtime and treats, with attention to detail. She gave my elder stateskitty subQ fluids *and* successfully pilled her (something I've never been able to do). But what's really gotten me is the way my boy kitty has perked up after five days with Annie. It's been a rough couple of years for the whole family, and Dizzy has gotten pretty sullen. I came home to a noticably happier, more engaged, and more energetic kitty. It's like cat therapy. I'm extremely grateful.

Annie was absolutely INCREDIBLE! One of our cats requires insulin shots twice a day, and Annie had no issues administering the shots. She texted me photos and updates about how both of our cats were doing each day, and I could tell she spent time petting and playing with them. Annie was also kind enough to clean up an accident one kitty had due to an upset stomach. I could not have been happier with Annie's cat-sitting, and I hope to book her again in the future!!!

Annie was so reassuring, and sent detailed updates along with lots of photos, and she seemed genuinely excited to dote on my fur baby. it was such a relief to know my cat was in good hands. I highly recommend Annie to anyone.

You won't go wrong by hiring Annie to care for your cat(s). She is truly dedicated to her craft. We found ourselves looking forward to her personalized daily updates, complete with photos/videos of their interactions and playtime. Our cat now has expectations that I am not sure we can live up too!

Annie is just fantastic! Pics and fun ones too each day! She clearly loves them and felt like family. She’s responsible and even went out of her way to let me know if the food was running low and offered to pick up extra as I was delayed with Covid returning as well.

300 characters is not enough to adequately describe Annie and the love and care she gave our cat. She worked her cat whisperer magic to quickly gain the trust and friendship of our temperamental super senior baby. Her detailed updates put our minds at ease instantly. Annie is truly the best!

Annie is excellent! I have 2 shy cats, who are cautious around new people, but Annie knew just what to do to make them feel comfortable and warm up to her. She sent us multiple pictures and a long text each time she came over to care for the cats, which made me feel better being away from my kitties because I knew they were getting great care. Annie has wonderful positive energy and was a delight to meet. I will definitely have Annie watch my cats the next time I am out of town.
