I'm Cara | Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL
Hi there! I'm Cara, a feline enthusiast, and hopefully your new cat sitter. I have always had cats growing up and my current kitty companion is Vader. My long-time love for cats led me to the PAWS Chicago Medical Center Cat Care Team. My experiences in both volunteering and fostering have given me valuable insights into cats of all sorts such as bottle babies, senior cats, timid cats, and kitties who just required a little extra care. It was also with PAWS where I learned to understand cat behavior, health, medicine administrations, and the art of creating a stress-free, comforting environment for them, all of which make me confident and ready to care for your furry family member in your absence :) With my own cat Vader, I understand the feeling of leaving them for an extended period of time and wanting them taken care of and stress free. Whether it's a play session, a cozy cuddle, or just a calming presence, my priority is making your kitty feel content during your absence. Your cat's happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I am ready to provide them with all the love, care, and comfort the...

We booked an overnight visit while we were out of town and it was such a relief to have Cara there to take care of the kitties! We got frequent picture updates and check-ins. Highly recommend!

Second time having Cara watch the girls and everything was perfect again. I plan on using Cara anytime I am out of town and she is available.
Katie
I loved the updates and pictures of my babies while I was gone! I get nervous leaving them but my experience was great and I can't wait to have Cara watch them again next time I'm out of town 😊
John
Cara was quick to respond and took great care of my kitties while I was away. I will definitely reach out again and book if available!

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.
