Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Unfortunately due to leasing restrictions, I do not own kitties. I am currently preparing for home ownership and can't wait to be a cat mommy again 😊.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I would like to meet you and your kitty. It is important you get a feel for my energy in person. This is also a great time to ask any questions or provide specific instructions in the event you would like me to sit for you. Lastly, I absolutely want to meet your sweetie. They are the main attraction you know. ♥️They also have the final say if I'll be hanging out with them or not. Smile!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I follow all directions and very mindful of surroundings entering and leaving. During the visit, I take note if maybe something unsafe was left out (due to an overly playful 😺), or something not intentionally forgotten. I double check everything before leaving and send an update of anything you may want to be aware of.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am available some holidays with advance planning. If my calendar isn't marked available please message me. I am always happy to accommodate, even in last minute reservations.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The light beams and feathers. I also enjoy using whatever favorite toys your kitty may enjoy! Those are usually best :)

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

Allowing them an opportunity to come to me. Once they feel me out I'll then extend my hand so they can become familiar.

Nicole is a fantastic sitter. She sent me photos of my cat and let me know how he was doing. I will definitely reserve time with her to check in on my cat again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Chicago cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Every Meowtel reservation may come with a 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation may come with a Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
