Katherine was an excellent sitter! She made sure to check in with me every time she visited and send a photo so I knew my cat was well cared for! My cat is a little nervous around new people, but Katherine definitely made her feel safe!

Katharine was a wonderful cat sitter. Frida took to her right away when she met her to pick up the key. Katharine sent detailed texts about their time together and always sent a picture or video each time she visited. She made me very reassured that my cat was in good hands during the christmas season.

Perfect sitter. Sat my cat for 5 days - sent photo/video updates every day. Followed all our requests/instructions exactly. Also, Kate is soooo friendly. Hoping to use her services next time I leave town.

Kate is amazing! She had a lot of patience with my cat, Chunk. He can be very hot and cold with people and she waited for him on his terms. I will definitely use her again! Thank you Kate!!

My kitties instantly started warming up to her when she did the meet and greet. I loved the communication and photos that was sent while I was away. Very friendly and I could tell the kitties were happy.

Frida loves playing with Katharine! She makes sure to send me picture updates of how my cat is doing. And update me if she's going to be later to see Frida than she expected.

Katharine is an AMAZING cat sitter. She watched our guy Norm for three weeks, sending updates and funny pictures along the way. She’s highly attentive, kind and considerate. We had the best experience imaginable, and I think Norm has a new friend. Do yourself—and your cat—a favor and hire Katharine.

My cat and I couldn't be more thankful for Katharine! I was nervous leaving for a two-week span for the first time, but he was absolutely taken care of, and I got awesome updates from every visit.

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 $28.00. 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.
