Denise was great. She took care of our two cats for two visits and did a great job. During her initial visit, she was taking notes as I explained everything that we needed, and at each visit she sent prompt updates and photos/videos. I'd definitely hire her again. Thanks, Denise!

Denise is WONDERFUL and very communicative which is greatly appreciated. We had some issues come up with our front desk staff (not Denise's fault at all!) and she was very flexible and understanding in making sure we could still get her the apartment key before leaving for our vacation. She also sent great photos and videos including text updates about our cat which made us feel good about Millie while we were out of the country. Definitely provided peace of mind!

This was my fIrst time finding a cat sitter online and I can’t express the peace of mind I had leaving my kitties in Denise’s hands. She took her time reviewing my directions and asked thoughtful questions. Once I left, she sent me regular texts and photos detailing her visits. Will use her again!

Denise is AMAZING! 10/10 would recommend!!! I was out of town for 5 days and when she came each day to feed my cat, she genuinely played with her and sent me pics, video & text updates of her status at each visit. I could tell my “anti-stranger,”diva cat absolutely loved her. This sitter cares!

This is the first time I have ever had a “stranger” take care of my two cats, and Denise put my heart at ease! My normally skiddish cat warmed right up to her, and my special needs cat adored her. She took such good care of them and sent me the best pictures every day that made me smile and feel like my girls were in good in hands. I will definitely rely on Denise for future travel!

Denise was the perfect cat "babysitter" and we were so appreciative of her help while we were away on vacation. My cat is extremely close to me and my partner (both of us men) and is a bit shy to strangers at first, and Denise's patience really paid off over the duration of the week. Her updates were helpful and overall I had a huge level of comfort knowing that Denise was checking in on my cat.

Denise was great! The cats liked her right away, which is important for my peace of mind. Even through some crazy brutal winter weather, she made it there to care for Mary and Rhoda. She followed my 2 full pages of way-too detailed instructions to the letter. She sent pictures every visit and even updated me on their moods. She truly cares about cats and has a deep understanding of them. I absolutely recommend Denise!

Denise is a great cat-sitter! It was easy to coordinate visits with her and she sent me updates every day! The weather was very cold and snowy while I was gone but Denise made it to my apartment every day. My cat tends to be a little shy with strangers but she had no problem with Denise!

Denise took good care of my cat. She came everyday and kept me posted. Her visit is not just filling the food and water. She also spent time playing with my cat. I appreciate her help and will come back to her if I need to travel again.

I highly recommend Denise! I was away for about a week from my two cats and Denise was so wonderful! She took excellent care of them. I received daily updates on their wellbeing each visit and photos of them! I truly appreciate her for taking care of my beloved cats. She went above and beyond my expectations (she even got them some toys!) and I would most definitely hire her again in the future.

I already filled this out, saying that I loved Denise and so did my cat. She really went out of her way to make me know that my cat was OK.

Jana
Denise was absolutely phenomenal and I couldn't recommend her more highly. The weather was unseasonably warm when she was watching my cat, and I hadn't had time to set up my AC unit or fans yet. She made sure to keep a close watch on my cat to make sure he wasn't getting overheated, and even brought over a fan of hers to help keep him cool. She was very communicative in keeping me up to speed on everything and was very friendly and polite. I would work with her again in a heartbeat!

Denise was great! She was able to come sit our cats at the very last minute, and was very communicative. She sent us lots of pictures of the cats while we were away, and made sure they had tons of fun while she visited. Will definitely be booking again!

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.
