I'm Lauren | Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL

***5% OFF for all new kitty clients through 11/22*** Your cats’ comfort is my priority. I love tiring out rambunctious kittens and patiently catering to older and people-shy cats. I have administered pills, topical ointments, and injections - specifically I have worked with several diabetic cats. Always happy to pick up mail, water plants, or any other small tasks you’d like taken ...

Learn More About Lauren

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been with Meowtel since March 2022. Previous to that I was consistently catsitting for friends and I grew up with cats my whole life. My first word was actually “kitty”!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My own cat Lilah is extremely anxious, and every day is a balance of giving her the space as well as all of the attention she needs. I also have a crazy kitten (named Grape!) who needs lots of playtime and attention.

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

I always ensure door is locked and lockbox, if applicable, is secure. Even with shy cats who hide I try to make sure I can see them at some point during my visit to make sure they are okay.

Lauren was fantastic! I needed a fairly last-minute appointment and she made everything very easy and low stress. Her updates were wonderful and detailed. Overall an excellent experience.

We have three shy cats with very different personalities and Lauren was accommodating to all three of their different needs. She was respectful to our cat who needed more space and playful and encouraging with our other gals once they started to warm up to her. Lauren followed our complicated feeding routine for the cats perfectly. She also was flexible with key pickup and last minute changes we had to make. We have one foster cat and she was accommodating to our foster’s needs. Lauren cleaned up everything, cleaned the litter boxes, and took out the garbage (which we didn’t even ask her to do). Lauren sent lengthy videos and multiple photos of our cats. Truly, Lauren went above and beyond for our girls. I was confident in her ability to care for them and had peace of mind when out of town. We look forward to booking with her again!

This is the second time Lauren has watched my boys and they absolutely love her! She gives great updates, plays with them, and keeps me informed on any additional changes. I will be using her again in the future!

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 $35.00. 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.
