Emily is top notch and my Fred LOVES her! I had a recent surgery and spent 10 days with my family as I began my recuperation. The daily photos of my boy getting lots of love and attention made my day! Emily knows and loves cats and gives you the feedback you need to know that your furry flat mate is doing well!! I cannot recommend her highly enough!!

Emily did an amazing job with my cats! Shy Richie Ray opened up to her immediately and that is huge. Her updates had details that showed that she was really committed and caring. Thank you!!

Emily was communicative, understanding, and a charmer to my two cats. I had to find a last-minute caretaker for a kitten recovering from spay surgery, and Emily was great about cleaning her wound and monitoring her activity. Would happily work with Emily again!

Emily took amazing care of our sweet senior while we were away! She was on top of all of her medication needs and wonderfully communicative the whole time. We very much appreciated all the detailed updates and adorable photos. We're looking forward to booking her again and we highly recommend her.

This is the 3rd time Emily has spent time with Fred. He loves her and she is GREAT at interpreting his chatter and signals. I leave my house confident that he is in trustworthy, experienced and loving hands.

Emily was an excellent caretaker. She was very patient with our incredibly difficult cat and kept us up to date throughout the whole time we were away. Looking forward to hiring Emily again in the future.

Fred loved Emily so much when she cared for him the first time, that we reached out to her again. I feel completely comfortable and confident knowing Emily is in charge. She sends great pictures and updates and because she’s a cat mama herself she speaks cat fluently and can figure out your cats cues! I highly recommend her!

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.

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.
