Kate was great, informative about our cat while we were gone, and left things neat.

I have two high-maintenance cats (emotionally and medically) and they loved her and clearly trusted her (I could tell by the pictures and how they were when I got home). Kate also went above and beyond (i.e. cleaned my sheets, cleaned in general) and was so sweet! She clearly knows her way with cats, genuinely cares, and it's relieving to have someone like that watch my cats I will definitely be going to her in the future!!

I would definitely use Kate again. She went above and beyond by cleaning after our cat babies in the kitchen as well as liter. The cat food and water with ice was refreshed and clean. One of our cats is shy and needed extra attention. Kate took care of her. I believe our cat was looking for Kate even after I returned home. I cannot say enough about how reliable and caring Kate was with our cats.

Kate was great. She sent photos on each of her visits and was easy to work with. Bonus, Kate helped me get refunded when we decided to come back home a day early.

Kate accepted my reservation the day before I needed her to come twice a day for four days, due to a cancellation I had from a boarding place because their insurance would no longer allow them to inject insulin. She had zero problems with the insulin and other medication both my cats needed, and made sure they both ate all their required food. She also reported on litter box contents and usage (bagging everything incredibly well - we didn't smell a thing), left every single cat dish and item sparkling clean, spent time just sitting and playing with them, and sent multiple photos, videos, and notes each day. I look forward to booking her again!

Kate was wonderful and so attentive to my cat. She sent me updates after each check in and it was such a relief to know he was being looked after like he was her own.

Kate was absolutely wonderful with my newly diabetic cat Gus. My apartment was just as I left it and I could tell that my fur baby had been well cared for. Kate left me detailed notes (with videos and photos) to let me know how the visit was with Gus. Additionally, Kate is quick to respond to messages so we were able to get things scheduled quickly. Couldn't recommend Kate more for her cat services.

Kate did a wonderful job looking after my boy Louis! She was on time, prepared, and attentive when it came to our first meet and greet. Each day I was sent notes, pictures, and videos from each visit that detailed everything she did. It was very helpful and so appreciated! I can’t thank her enough!

Frequently Asked Questions

Chicago cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
