Meow! I'm Christine, a Cat Sitter in , IL

If you ask any of my friends what my favorite thing in the world is, it’s cats! I have two of my own (orange is Rufio; gray is Wendy), and I can’t wait to meet your cat! Note for the 2022 Holiday Season: I do have availability over Christmas, so please message me if you are interested in booking on or around Christmas! I’ve had cats my whole life, starting right when I was born. Feeding the cats and emptying the litter box were my chores growing up, so I learned cat care early. I also learned cats can require a lot of patience and nurturing to warm up to you, or they may be warm from the get-go. I respect all cat’s levels of comfort with me and gauge how I act toward them based on their reactions. I’ve been a volunteer with Chicago Animal Care & Control in transporting cats to their foster homes, rescues, and vet appointments. I have also fostered kittens and adult cats. Over the summer, I rescued 4 kittens from an abandoned parking lot: fed them to gain...

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!

Just got back from a 1 week vacation. Christine did a great job caring for my 2 cats (1 is diabetic). They are going to miss her!

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

The average price for a cat sitter is $29.00.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel. 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.
