I'm Leandra | Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL

Hi there! I adopted my precious girl, Nutmeg, four years ago and have been spending my time making friends with every cat I meet since. I can’t wait to share my love, care, and attention with your sweet friends 🐱 I have experience with a wide range of ages and personalities (and love every one of them!) and promise to give you and your cat the unique attention you both deserve. I value building trust and respect with my clients and will always make your peace of mind my biggest priority! I have experience building patient, loving relationships with many anxious cats and administering a variety of medications. I’ve lived in Andersonville for about a year ...

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

I have been cat sitting for about two years all over Chicago’s north side! I have built so many incredible connections and formed wonderful, trusting relationships with so many wonderful clients along the way.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

When I started cat sitting, I was excited to meet as many new cats and cat parents as possible. While I still love meeting new clients, figuring out new kitties’ personalities, and venturing to different neighborhoods, my favorite part of cat sitting—hands down—is my relationship with my repeat clients. Their trust means the world to me! Even though I’m visiting cats in their own homes, I always feel a sense of coming “home” when I’m reunited with and greeted by a cat I’ve watched before. The feeling gets better each time with each repeat visit. 💛

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one kitty named Nutmeg! I adopted her from a local shelter (shoutout to Felines & Canines) almost four years ago when she was just ten months old. Now almost five, she is the sweetest, sassiest little companion I could have ever asked for.

Leandra was SO amazing with my anxious cat. she was so patient and so great at reading Jupiters body language and knowing when she was stressed and when she was okay to be pet or hung out with. she's seriously so amazing with anxious/shy kitty's 💜

Leandra is THE BEST. She provides great updates, takes care of everything, and our cat is obsessed with her. I always feel better knowing she’s there when we’re gone. Book her!

Frequently Asked Questions

Chicago cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $35.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

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.
