I’m a cat parent of 3 years to my little grey tabby, Kovu Jupiter & I would love to extend my love + care to your little fur baby(ies)☺️.
I feel what sets me apart from other sitters is my intuitive nature. I really prefer to let the animals come to me & remain in an energy that allows them to feel safe, secure & happy while they are under my care.
If this feels right for you then please proceed to book me for a sitting! I’m very much looking forward to hearing from you :) thanks!
Learn More About Itzy
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
What I enjoy most about cat sitting is the ability to help a fellow cat owner to have as stress free a trip as possible as traveling can already be an overwhelming feat as is. My hope is to be able to help you maintain peace of mind until you are able to arrive back home to your loved one(s)!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have one cat & his name is Kovu Jupiter! He is a greyish/brown tabby & the absolute light of my life.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Advice I would give to a customer looking to hire a cat sitter is listen to your gut. If you feel you have found someone who fits your requirements, send a message & request a phone call to do a virtual visit! Or, if both parties feel up to it, set up a pre sitting visit so you can get some face to face time & build a bit of rapport with both animal & human! :)

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 $30.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
