I'm Lauren | Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL
Celebrating 3+ years meeting fabulous cats with Meowtel! I grew up with cats and have always loved them, but it wasn’t until I was an adult that I came to delight and appreciate the vast spectrum of personalities cats can have! Almost all of my close friends have at least one cat, and they are each so unique and wonderful in their own special way 😻This is exactly how I feel about each and every one of my catsitting clients. Shy and anxious cats are my specialty. I respect their space but I let them know I am there to take care of them, and I have been known to get them to come out for some head pets, and sometimes a little bit of playtime! I also love giving all the cuddles, plays and treats to cats who can’t get enough attention 😻 I am comfortable with administering pills, applying topical ointments, and giving injecti...

Lauren's Reviews
Caroline
Lauren is always the perfect sitter for my fur baby! He’s always so happy when I get back, and she always sends the best updates. I can’t recommend her enough!!
Chelsea
Lauren was fantastic! Even my anxious kitty came out for her- which doesn’t happen with just anyone! She is very communicative and takes great care to send photos and videos.
Kelly
Our elderly cat had a great visit with Lauren. Our kitty needs several meds each day and loves to cozy up on the couch and get some extra attention. Lauren was able to give Alice the attention she needed and keep up with her routine. We felt able to travel knowing she was in good care.
Nathan
Lauren has watched my precious feline several times and is always amazing! She communicates clearly and quickly and sends such fun photos and videos! She clearly spends time playing and cuddling with my angel which always makes me feel better while I’m away. I will always try to book her in the future!
Rosie
This was my second time booking Lauren and probably not my last; she’s reliable and great with communicating updates. She always takes excellent care of my two cats!

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.
