Over 50,000 happy kitties serviced on Meowtel

I'm Emily | Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL

I am a solo cat mom of 3 spunky, opinionated felines. I have been the primary caretaker (either foster or permanent home) for everyone from bottle-fed kittens up to special needs and hospice-care senior cats. I'm comfortable with administering medications gently but efficiently, and if your cat is interested in socializing, I will give them the playtime and love they need so they'll be chill and happy when you get home! My favorite thing about cats is the unpredictability and minor chaos that they bring into our lives and homes; mine get away with absolutely everything (but I promise to try to get yours...

Learn More About Emily

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I pet-sat for 5 or 6 households over the holidays this past winter (23-24) and realized I love it!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite of course was the house with one permanent dog, one permanent cat, and "kitty city" upstairs where the litter of 3 kittens the homeowners had taken in were staying. I got to be part of the process of socializing the little ones and helping them learn that humans are fun and kind.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 3 cats! Rosie is the baby, Bart is the big fluffy snuggly boy, and Wanda is my senior boss of the household.

Emily was absolutely wonderful with my cat Fred! I received updates every single day and great photos, so I could see how happy he was to have a stop by playmate every day. He was so content while I was away that he wasn't even ticked when I got home. He was happy to see me and hopped on my lap within the hour. She also checked on my outside feral girls too and kept them fed and watered through the weekend! I highly recommend her as a cat sitter. She will take care of yours like her own.

Emily was amazing!!! She went above and beyond with our girls. She communicated any small issues that came up, spent time playing with each of them every day, and gave us updates during every visit! We also have one typically very shy kitty who never comes out for strangers and Emily quickly made friends with her when she came to do a meet and greet! And was letting her give belly rubs by the second day and snuggling with her! it was quite magical! She’s definitely a cat whisperer and we will absolutely be booking her again for future cat sitting needs!

Emily did great with our four cats. We took a short trip and she checked in on them for us. We received pictures and a nice update on how they were doing.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
