Learn More About Kate

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

I have been cat sitting for approximately 10 years. I started by taking care of some of my neighbors cats when I was a teenager, and have continued on with opportunities for friends and acquaintances when they pop up.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I don’t have any living in my apartment with me at this time, but my parents have a cat named Ivy who is a spunky tortoiseshell that I still see regularly and love very dearly! In fact, she is sitting on my lap as I type this :)

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I want to make sure they trust and feel comfortable with me, so I give them a chance to ask me any questions they have. I also take time to ask them questions to ensure I have all the information I need to properly take care of their kitty.

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.
