I'm Christine | Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL
PLEASE: NONSMOKING HOMES ONLY. I'm a freelancer who started housesitting in 2016 to fulfill my love of cats and travel. After catsitting for eight years, I am now auntie to more than a dozen cats. They all call me the cat whisper: I love slow blinks, afternoon naps, toebeans and speak cat. I've cared for various cat breeds, ages and personalities, including more recently two 6yo chocolate Burmese who were the sweetest snuggle bugs who'd sit on my chest purring away; a pair of calico queens in Bucktown (with me their mere servant); a tuxedo brother-duo in Lakeview who were little rascals that knew how to let me know it's playtime (also the smartest boys who could open cabinets); and a 4yo shy baby whom I turned into a lap kitty (to the surprise and delight of her pawrents).

Christine's Reviews
Brian
I could tell from the videos just how much my Julie loved the visits while I was out of town!
Deborah
Christine is great. Pluto loved her! She took tons of phots and told me what was going on in Pluto's world. Will definitely hire her again!!
Meghan
Christine was a fantastic caretaker for my 3 cats! She sent fantastic photos, and was excellent with communication. Highly recommend!
Rosie
Christine was super flexible and communicated with me consistently. She took perfect care of my two cats while I was away for a week and even tidied up after them before she left. I’m usually nervous being away from them for too long but I felt very comfortable leaving them in her hands!
Bonnie
Christine was a wonderful and incredibly thoughtful caretaker! The boys loved her and she made some changes to their routine that solved mysteries I hadn't been able to figure out!

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
