Hi! I’m Jeanna Mae and I cannot wait to watch and cuddle with your cats!

I am based in Uptown but can travel anywhere in the Chicagoland area. I have two cats of my own, Beans and Rylo, who are complete opposites. I have taken care of friend’s and family’s cats in the past so caring for various personalities is not a problem!

I believe that a bored cat is a destructive cat. Play time and erichment is very important to me during these visits! You can expect to receive pictures, videos, and a thorough message of how the visit went.

During longer stays, I can provide basic housesitting tasks like watering your plants, pick up any packages, and anything you would like done while you are gone.

My work schedule can be very inconsistent so if a date is blocked off in my availability, message me to see if I can still drop by! Bookings that allow me to visit anytime works best for me.

I travel frequently so I know how stressful it can be to leave your cats at home! Let me take away that stress a little bit by giving your cats the same level of care you would give them! Cannot wait to meet your little one/s!

Learn More About Jeanna Mae

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats! Beans and Rylo! Beans was a foster fail. He was supposed to be in our care for 2 months but then that turned into a 6 months and that turned into a year. Since he has bonded with us, we felt like it was for the best for us to be his forever home! Rylo was a rescue from a shelter. We wanted Beans to have a friend so he wouldnt get so lonely. He was in shelter for a month before we adopted him. He quickly bonded with Beans and is now my Velcro cat! I cannot get up and walk around without him being by my feet.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I do not like to bother timid and anxious cats so I tend to just sit on the ground in a spot relatively close to them. I let them approach me and follow their lead. I still make sure that their litter and food and water are still taken care of.

We couldn’t be happier honestly. we got regular texts with pictures. One of our cats needed a pill and she usually takes it in her food but she was being a cat and not taking it. Jeanne Mae took the initiative to find some pill pockets in the cat drawer and gave it to her with that. She was so lovely and very responsible and responsive. Thanks again Jeanne Mae!!

We had a short trip and Jeanna Mae did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. One of my cats is very shy, and she was able to get the cat to come out and play. I will book her again next time I go on a trip!

Jeanna Mae was very thoughtful taking care of our boys for our long (10 day) trip. Lots of pictures, friendly attitude when one of our cats was stressed, very mindful about litter boxes and cat comfort. Fully recommended!

I had such a great experience with Jeanna Mae! She was incredibly patient and gentle with my shy kitty, Milo, giving him the time he needed to feel comfortable. I especially appreciated the regular updates—she sent the sweetest pictures and videos that really put my mind at ease while I was away. It was clear Milo was well cared for and in good hands. I’d absolutely book with Jeanna Mae again. Highly recommend!

Because of Jeanna Mae, I was able to enjoy my vacation. I had peace of mind knowing that my fur babies are well cared for. I think my babies liked her more than me! I appreciated the updates and photos. She was very reassuring and validated my anxieties about being away. My kitties and I trust her and will definitely book her again.

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!
