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 slight chaos that they bring into our lives and homes; mine get away with absolutely everything (but I promise to try to get yours to...

Emily's Reviews
Andrew
Emily was wonderful! giving quick and caring updates each day! she went above and beyond and was able to spend a little extra play time with our kitty when she had the time!! she knew what she was in for with our sassy tortie and she took such great care of her!!
Kristina
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.
Elise
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.
Mark
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.
Elise
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!

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.
