Learn More About Netiya

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

While I have casually been cat sitting all my life - beginning with watching friends’ and neighbors’ cats as a child - in 2015 I decided to pursue a full time career in pet care and have been cat sitting professionally now for 10 years. I absolutely adore the animals I work with and I feel so lucky and grateful every day. I wouldn’t change my career for the world!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

My typical process for working with a new cat parent is to set up a meet and greet beforehand so I can meet the cat and talk more with the parent about the cat’s general temperament, preferences, and routine. My goal when cat sitting is to best emulate the cat’s normal day-to-day experience to make sure the kitty is as comfortable as possible in my care.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am almost always available for cat sitting over the holidays (the only exception being the 4th of July, when I typically leave town due to my dislike of fireworks). I always stay in town for the winter holidays and am happy to cat sit over Christmas and Hannukah.

Everything was wonderful! Netiya provided great updates and photos! My cat has never been so photogenic. I can tell Meeks was very well cared for. I appreciate the check-ins and being able to depend on her getting meds and so much attention. Highly recommend Netiya!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Chicago cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
