Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL
As a cat parent myself, I know how hard it is to leave them (even if only for a short time) Therefore, I promise to give your floofs the same care I would want for my own. I have experienced a wide range of cat behavior from my times volunteering at local shelters in my youth, and will be sure to give your kitty the respect and space they deserve (and all the play-time they could dream of)... Cats have been an integral part of my life since it began in 2000. I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to grow up around these special creatures and learn to care for them as family. When I moved to Chicago, I knew I couldn’t live my best life without a little friend by my side, which is why I just recently adopted my sweet tabby girl, Indie.
As a cat parent myself, I know how hard it is to leave them (even if only for a short time) Therefore, I promise to give your floofs the same care I would want for my own. I have experienced a wide range of cat behavior from my times volunteering at local shelters in my youth, and will be sure to give your kitty the respect and space they deserve (and all the play-time they could dream of). I’ve also dealt with my fair share of feline medical care for senior pets, and am comfortable with administering medication when needed. While in your home I promise to perform tasks up to the highest standard, and will respect any wishes involving use of space, so your kitty can relax and thrive.
I currently train with Alluvion Dance Chicago, where I explore artistry through contemporary/modern movements (Sunday and Wednesday 5-8 p.m.). I can work most mornings and afternoons, as well as some evenings. I live in Edgewater, but can work anywhere in Chicago accessible by public transportation! I will put health first, and I understand and respect any medical concerns. Though fully vaccinated, I am willing to wear a mask when needed.
Please reach out with any other questions or concerns and I will be happy to respond! I look forward to giving your fur-babies the best comfort possible while they wait for your return home.

Kaetlyn was so amazing with our two cats, one of which has dietary restrictions that she was very careful with. Both of our cats warmed up to her right away! She is very responsive and gives detailed notes and pictures after each visit. I would highly recommend!

This is our second time working with Kaetlyn because we and our kitties love her. She gives thorough updates, accomplishes all requested tasks, and takes her time taking care of and getting to know our cats. She was able to get our shy kitties out of their shells for play time and lots of scritching!

Kaetlyn continues to be the best! I just moved, and my shy kitty is still getting used to the new apartment and its hiding spots. Kaetlyn couldn’t find her hiding spot the first day and added in an extra visit just to check on her.

Kaetlyn was phenomenal! She really went above and beyond. We were gone on our honeymoon for 2 weeks and it was the longest I’ve left my cat (Nula) alone and I was nervous. Kaetlyn quickly assuaged my nerves and I trusted Nula was in good hands! She was very communicative and not only sent photos of my cat but also to show that she was scooping her litter and feeding her. It was also clear Nula loved her and felt comfortable around her, which is saying a lot! She got Nula to socialize and play, which is hard to get her to do with a new person, usually she hides. Overall, a very positive experience and I recommend her to anyone!

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!

Kaetlyn did an excellent job taking care of our cat during a our four-day vacation! She had no trouble administering our cat’s medication, and she provided timely, detailed updates after each visit—complete with awesome photos, of course. She even went the extra mile by bringing in several packages that we received while we were away. We would hire Kaetlyn again in a heartbeat!

Kaetlyn is the BEST! Right from the start, her genuine love for cats was evident 😻. Kaetlyn consistently exceeded my expectations, providing daily updates, photos, and detailed reports on her work with my two cats. Also one of my cats is a bit shy and felt too comfortable in her presence! I recommend Kaetlyn to anyone who wants to feel at peace while being away from their furry kids! Elli and Mimo's review: 🐈🐈⬛ Meow meow meow meow! Meow meow meow meow meow meow meow. Translation: “We highly recommend Kaetlyn! She took care of us while our human was away. She feed us, gave us our yummy treats, played with us and gave us tons of love. Thank you Kaetlyn”

Kaetlyn was a great cat sitter! I had to book last minute and was able to arrange the meet and greet the next day. She gave me daily, expensive updates with lots of cute pics of my cat, who warmed up to her right away. She also went above and beyond with helping me take my packages up to my apartment. Overall it was a super positive experience and I would definitely recommend her as a cat sitter!

It was my first time using a cat sitting service. Kaetlyn was great! She was punctual, attentive, and followed my instructions as discussed in our meet & greet. I really appreciated her fast reply time to my messages and her takin photos of my cat and proof of each completed task. I will book Kaetlyn again for my next extended trip!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kaetlyn has taken care of my cats multiple times, and she’s always been fantastic. This was the longest I’ve been away from Mimo and Ellie, and her care made me feel close to them even from afar. Kaetlyn’s attention to detail and genuine love for my cats make her the best cat sitter I could ask for. Mimo and Ellie both give their stamp of approval too! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about their pets.
