Learn More About Abigail

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new little cats!!! Truly, being with any cat makes my day better and I love that sitting builds dedicated cat time into my day. I also think it’s so touching to build new relationships with them!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do!! Their names are Newt (little black cat) and Ellie-Mae (spunky tortie). Newt (newty) is about 6 years old, we got him when he was just a kitten and he looovees to go on walks! He’s also an escape artist so we have to watch out for that. He’s super smart and most times I feel like there’s just a little boy trapped in there. We rescued Ellie (Ewie) about 3 years ago and she’s about 13yrs old. Although she can have some of that tortitide she’s a sweet as pie!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I make sure to go over all the basic security questions with the customer in addition to asking them if there is anything particular I should be mindful of. I write all this down and refer to it each time I go over to cat sit to ensure that nothing is missed. My cats like to test their 9 lives so i am very seasoned in being very alert and attentive when it comes to the safety of your cat and your home!

Abigail is a cat whisperer! She got our shyest cat to play and eat in front of her within two days. She sent lots of detailed updates, too! We will definitely be booking again. Thanks Abigail!

Abigail is fantastic! She was very patient with our territorial male cat and his somewhat shy sister. She followed all instructions and shared plenty of cute pictures with helpful daily updates.

Abigail is one of the most compassionate and kind individuals I’ve ever known. I have trusted her to watch my (very needy) pet multiple times in the past and she is the only person he fully relaxes around without me. She leads with her heart, and she is an example of respect - you couldn’t find a better sitter for your fur baby!

Abigail's patience, kindness, and tenacity even with the most difficult of kitties has put my mind at ease when I can't be at home with my babies over and over. I highly recommend her!

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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Every Meowtel reservation may come with a 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 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, every reservation may come with a Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
