Malika was great for my cats’ care last week. She vacuumed around the litter box even though I told her she didn’t have to (my boys are messy savages). All was well when I returned. Recommended!

"Malika is a fantastic cat sitter! She has a natural way with animals and truly understands their needs. Our cat warmed up to her immediately, and it was comforting to know she was in such caring hands. Malika is patient, attentive, and goes above and beyond to create a safe and loving environment. Highly recommended!"

I recently had a wonderful experience with Malika pet sitting my two cats, Izzy and Rudy. Malika was incredibly kind, attentive, and caring towards the cats. She has a natural ability with animals, and it showed in how comfortable and content Izzy and Rudy were during her care. Malika provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Her attention to detail and genuine love for animals really set her apart as a pet sitter. I wholeheartedly recommend Malika to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. She went above and beyond, and I will definitely be using her services again in the future.

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.
