Isabel was amazing! I recently moved to a new city so this was my first time hiring a “stranger” to watch my cats instead of asking family. I was a little nervous at first, but before even leaving for the trip Isabel had great communication and made me feel instantly at ease! She sent extremely detailed messages and the cutest photo updates. She is super sweet and the cats loved her! I highly recommend!

We hired Isabel for a week while we were out of town to take care of our 2 furballs. Isabel was great! Tons of photos and video with her updates (super cute photos too.) She gave our cats a bit of autonomy by letting them choose dinner which we found fun and I think the cats enjoyed it too! We're would definitely have her back to watch our house and cats!

Isabel was amazing with our two kitties! Normally, when new people come over, one of our cats runs and hides. But when Isabel came over for the meet & greet, she greeted her like an old friend! Isabel took great pictures and was very quick to respond. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Isabel was amazing, she made my anxiety fade away with each update! I plan on using her in the future since my shy cat Barbie warmed up to her so much!

I have never booked a cat sitter before, but Isabel definitely showed me what a difference it makes. She was extremely caring, responsive, and went above and beyond. One of our cats is a little shy, but Isabel made her feel comfortable and I could tell in the pictures that she sent that my cats were happy to see her when she visited. Isabel should be a professional cat photographer, as I really enjoyed the cute pictures she sent during each visit. I definitely recommend Isabel to anyone who needs a cat sitter!!

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Chicago cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!

Isabel was amazing! She came by for a meet n greet and Noah loved her instantly. She asked all of the questions about important things I didn’t even think to tell her about. Most importantly, she took great care of our little guy, sending wonderful pics and updates… while going above and beyond by getting him some outside/sunshine time which he loved!

We were out of the country for two weeks, and Isabel’s daily check-ins gave us total peace of mind for our four cats! She played with them every day, was thorough with updates, and did everything we asked, exactly how we asked. We just got back home and it’s like we never left!

I can't tell enough how amazing Isabel was with my kitties! She was so attentive, caring, reliable! She did everything that I asked and more! She was really spending time with my babies, playing with them, patting them, giving them treats and talking to them! (I saw it on my camera). Isabel found my broom stick and was sweeping the floor although I even didn't ask! My whole vacation I felt at ease knowing that my angels are in good hands:) Thank you, Isabel!!!

really, really appreciate a trustworthy caretaker for my two somewhat needy cats (and me: the anxious cat parent), and Isabel really put me at ease and let me come home to two happy cats, a home the way I left it, and kept me up to date throughout my quick weekend trip. many thanks!
Tatiana

Isabel was attentive to details and sent us updates not only of the kitties but of the food dishes & litter pan to show that all the duties were done. Isabel was respectful of the space and our kitties were very happy which showed in the AMAZING photos she took of them. (One of the photos is my new phone wallpaper!) Isabel provided us with peace of mind while we were on vacation.
Response from Isabel
Tatiana, thank you so much for your review! Freyja and Charlie are such loveable and silly cats ❤️ It was such a fun time 😁

Isabel kept us updated with lots of pictures after each visit. She did a great job with two topical cream meds for our elderly kitty. She also did some troubleshooting to help us protect a small animal pet while we were gone.

Isabel was wonderful! One of my cats needs to be medicated twice a day, and Isabel had no issues getting her her meds, while also trying to coax my less friendly kitty out of her hiding spaces. She also gave great updates and my house was very clean when I got back (despite the fact that my cats are gross).

Isabel is pretty much the dream all star 💫 cat sitter. We have a very challenging household with four cats, two of whom are very senior. All 4 cats require special attention. Isabel was masterful in figuring out how to bond with each cat and how to interact with them in ways that make them feel comfortable and loved. She is so skilled at administering meds, even with the world’s most tempermental cat! Her communications are fantastic and make you feel like you are there and you see from her comments how brilliantly she understands each cat! We give her our highest possible rating!

Isabel has been a fantastic sitter for our cats! One of our shyer cats took to her immediately which was a big help. Great photos, thorough updates, had no issues whatsoever. Thanks, Isabel!
Katy

Isabel is the greatest cat sitter we have ever encountered in our lifetime of having cats as beloved family members. I have four cats and two are very senior, record-breakingly so. They have very exhaustive care demands and Isabel was able to deliver the highest possible care to these challenging two cats so they were so happy and felt so loved. She also was able to spend quality time with the other two cats so they didn't feel left out. She is very perceptive. She has excellent judgment. She is a cat whisperer. She knows how to make cat parents feel relieved and comfortable. I can never leave home without Isabel. She is the great sitter ever and a fabulous generous caring super smart person!
