Learn More About Makenzie

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

I have had cats since I was 7 years old and have been cat sitting on and off for the past 15 years. I have many friends and family that have trusted me their cats on multiple occasions. I have done drop-ins, as well as, overnight sitting.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to meet new cats and new families. I think cats are very fun and interesting beings. They all have their own personalities, and it’s always rewarding getting to meet and bond with them along the way.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have two cats. I have had them both for 6 years. Ernie is an all black short hair and a bundle of energy. He loves to play fetch, but also enjoys his downtime with cuddles. Fiona is a tuxedo princess, who started out very shy and reserved. While she still enjoys her alone time, it has been a joy to watch her come out of her shell over the past few years. She has blossomed into a social butterfly and loves to cuddle and play with her brother.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chicago cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
