Christine continues to provide amazing care for my 2 kitties and has bonded with them. I never have to worry about them when I am gone.

Christine was amazing while we were gone. I came home to two very happy cats 🐱. One of our cats is very very shy and Christine was able to pet her multiple times which I was shocked by. Christine is a great communicator and it is obvious she loves cats and they love her. Bonus: she took really cool / artsy pictures 😊

Christine was literally the BEST sitter we have EVER had!! Our boy is super shy of new people, and does not come out for anyone except us. But he was hanging out with Christine, giving her snuggles, being silly, and he had no anxiety whatsoever! I’ve never seen him do that before. She literally has a gift - she knew how to address his personality and adapt to make him feel comfortable. Not to mention she sent TONS of pictures and detailed updates, which was our favorite part!! She captured his charisma and we will be framing several because they were so adorable. I literally cannot recommend Christine enough, she is amazing!!

Christine was so caring and attentive to our little fur baby! Would definitely recommend!! She sent many pictures and videos each visit which was really nice and thoughtful. She is really quick with responding to messages and is always nice and respectful. This was our first time booking a cat sitter so we were nervous at first, but Christine exceeded all our expectations!

Christine alleviated all of my worries about leaving my cats for 10 days. she came around the same time every day at my request and took more pictures than I could ever ask for with text updates. I could tell she cares for cats as if they were her own. I’d book her again without hesitation!

Christine is exceptional. Super communicative, punctual, friendly, and extremely thorough. We knew before we left that our cat was in very capable and caring hands, and she was clearly well-loved the whole time. Christine is a pleasure to work with, and we would absolutely request her as a cat-sitter again.

Christine was incredible! Definitely out #1 choice any time we need another sitter in the future. Provided lots of photos, quick updates, and always responded in a timely manner. Made the time away that much better knowing the cats were being well taken care of. Thank you Christine!

If I could give Christine 20 stars, I would! She was absolutely fantastic. First, just a week before our booking started, we adopted a stray kitten that turned up on our doorstep. I notified Christine immediately about this change and we updated the info accordingly. She was flexible and happy to take care of an additional kitty and we were so grateful. She came twice on two days, gave our oldest cat insulin shots, took many photos and gave our kitties much-needed love in our absence. Each visit she sent me photos and a write up. We were delighted with her service.

Honestly, I'm so grateful to have came across Christine on Meowtel. I could not have asked for a better sitter. She was great with communication, sending pictures, following my instructions and so responsible. My four cats instantly liked her and her energy. I highly recommend Christine, you can absolutely trust her.

Christine did a great job taking care of my two kitties for the past week. She was successful in getting my diabetic cat out to eat and for her to be able to give him his insulin.

Christine really came through for me during Christmas time, when I had to go home with my family and couldn’t bring my cat due to the amount of dogs that would be around. Even though there was brutal cold and bad weather, she was super attentive and took great care of my baby. She sent me lots of great pictures and videos and my cat clearly got along with her very well :-) She who is great with communication and what is beyond friendly, it definitely put me at ease to know that my cat had someone to visit with them while I was gone in to check on everything that it would need.

Christine has been great! I have 2 cats. One (Ben) is diabetic and hides when a stranger is in the house. She has worked with me and Ben to get him to trust her and allow her to give him his food and insulin.

Excellent cat sitter! Sent detailed check-ins with images so I knew my cat was doing just fine (and apparently a Ravenclaw, but I won't hold that against him, lol)

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 $31.00. 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.
