I'm Christine | Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL
Meow there! I'm Chris and I'd love to help care for your kitties! I've adored cats for as long as I can remember. I've been cat-mom to many, and I've cared for lots of friends'/neighbors' cats. I also have previous experience working with cats, and other small animals, at the zoo and at a grooming salon. When I'm not cat-sitting, I do same-day grocery shopping/delivery. Generally my schedule is flexible, but I'm not usually available mornings or Sunday evenings. You're welcome to make your reservation however you're comfortable, but if you're unsure I recommend: 1-2 shy kitties are ok with 20 minute visits. 1-4 playful kitties probably need 45 minute visits. If you have 5 or more kitties (or even 1 very cuddly and/or active kitty) please consider 60 minute visits. I would also suggest once daily visits for most, especially if you think kitty may get lonely, or if you have an active kitty who might get into trouble. Twice...

Christine's Reviews
Rachelle
Christine was an amazing cat sitter and someone we hope will be able to care for our fur babies again in the future. This was the first time we've used a pet sitting service and the experience could not have been better. From the first 'meet and greet' and through three visits, we were consistently impressed by how kind and thorough Christine was, the detailed notes she sent, and how much she genuinely cares for animals. We came home to 3 well cared for cats, and that's all we could ask for! Thank you again, Christine, you're the best!
Michele
Christine was very professional, detailed and compassionate. She took such good care of my two babies, she was thoughtful about their needs and her end of visit summaries were golden. She sought them out in their hiding places to take pictures, which I thought was above and beyond. She was also kind enough to bring in some packages for me. We are all very grateful to have found her. š»

Christine was a fantastic cat sitter for my two cats while I was away for a week. She sent detailed updates, took time to play with and groom the cats, and also watered my plants (indoors and out) and brought in the mail. I will definitely use her again, and Iād highly recommend her!

Christine has become our go to sitter. This will was below zero. She made it out daily to care for our cats. We are glad to have her available.

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations.

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.
