Learn More About Chelsea

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I would love to help other cat parents navigating the inhaler process, as it feels so daunting, or even doing nail trims. I feel confident in helping our furry ones associate these things with love and care instead of anxiety and I think it can be a struggle for some pet parents to navigate alone. I want to make your pet feel pampered rather than singled out in these moments or help even associate “strangers” with positivity instead of fear. Seeing a cat come out of their shell or allow more trust is the most rewarding experience.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 4 all across the full-colored and dilute tortie and calico spectrum- They do have more formal names, but our nicknames for them are Miss Toe (from Shadowcat), Lil Biscuits (from Trixie or Bellatrix), Boofy (originally my Roofcat), and little baby Wednesday who is just over a year old. The first 3 are all from the same family, abandoned by their original owners and the newest little one was found screaming and so tiny under the train tracks in the city. They are now so happy to lay in the sun, groom one another, and play all day!

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love little toys that they can handle with their paws and toss into the air.. followed by ones on a string, preferable with feathers or a jingle bell of sorts attached. I find that if toys are small enough to feel like prey for the cat, they can have so much more fun with them and I get them to wiggle their little butts and jump in the air as they get closer. It’s so fun (and cute) to watch them access their huntress abilities!

There is no one I would trust more with my sweet baby girl than Chelsea! Chelsea is such a caring, loving, and communicative caregiver for both others’ animals and her own. She puts so much effort into giving pets the love and attention they deserve through play, snuggles, and attentiveness to their needs. Chelsea has navigated lots of areas of pet care including care for multiple cats, administering medicine, and navigating animal introductions. I would so, so highly recommend Chelsea as a cat sitter for anyone’s fur babies!

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 $29.00. 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.
