Rachel was AMAZING with our cat Pierre. He took to her so quickly, and she gave him all of the attention that the little cuddle bug desired. Rachel provided detailed updates and so many pictures—we couldn’t have asked for more! We definitely will be booking again!

Wonderful pics and my normally skittish and shy girl loved her both times she’s cat-sit for me. It was so nice to have someone who clearly loves and understands cats to check in on my baby while away, it took away so much anxiety for me and my cat!

It was my first time using this app and I’m so glad I gave it a try because Rachel was awesome!! She offered a meet and greet and was super informative about how a drop in works. She was super communicative and always sent me pictures of my babies. My cats warmed up to her right away and I truly appreciate all of Rachel’s help.

Rachel is fantastic! This was my first time using Meowtel and I had a hard time trusting a stranger in my home. Rachel made it easy to set my concerns aside. She is respectful, communicative, and kind. My cat is far from friendly and she took everything in stride, giving her the best care she was allowed to give. I would enthusiastically use Rachel again for my next trip away!

I would give Rachel more stars if I could. She watched Kitty while I was in Europe. She noticed a potential injury while when it was nighttime for me but still daytime in Chicago. Rachel had the good judgement to reach out to my sister (as well as text me) in case I was sleeping (which I was). She handled it with my sister before I woke up. This exceeded expectations. Apart from our slight emergency, Rachel was the utmost professional, great communicator, and so sweet towards my very needy teenage cat.

Rachael was amazing. Her calming presence was great for my shy guy. My cats were docile, well adjusted and energetic when we returned which is not always the case. She was neat, communicative without being invasive and my door staff was delighted by her attitude.

This was my first time using this app and it was awesome! Rachel was everything I hoped for and more. She sent detailed updates and pictures and spent the entire time playing with my cat. My cat can be a little picky about meeting people the first time, so it was obvious Rachel gets cats because my cat LOVED her. Rachel made the process easy and was incredibly respectful of my space and listened closely to the little details. I highly recommend Rachel to anyone.

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.
