Young cats and old, confident kitties and shy, healthy babies and those with special needs--I'm obsessed with every single one!
When you book a service with me, you get:

- clear, concise communication

Feel free to just leave your keys and go, or a detailed list of instructions if you prefer. Either way I'm very self-sufficient and pride myself on proactivity! I have experience with nearly every type of cat food, supplement, treat, toy, feeder, water fountain, litter, litter box, litter genie; as well as all major lock boxes, door locks, and keyless entries. I'm experienced in administering medication to cats as well, including: oral (pills/drops), transdermal (ointments/creams), injections (insulin, arthritis medication), eye drops, ear drops, and inhalers. In addition to administering medications, I'm happy to trim your cat's nails, untangle fur mats, and give baths as needed. Let me know if you're interested in any additional services!
I have been a professional pet sitter and house sitter on and off for years, working exclusively with cats for the past 5 years. I understand the way cats communicate, and strive for high-quality care as unique as they are! And as the parent of a diabetic senior cat for many years, I became especially comfortable with treating less-than-willing patients! Please contact me if your cat has any special needs.
Thanks for reading, I look forward to hearing from you!

I am usually sitting during holidays! My schedule books up fast, so get your requests in as early as possible!
What is your favorite cat toy?

Eddy was great! I have two cats and one has always been skiddish toward strangers. On day 1, Eddy sent photos of playing with both cats and it was extremely relieving for me to see the cats having fun and taken care of. Eddy was greet to communicate with, and I got updates every day. I totally recommend her services!

Eddy is extremely reliable and sent wonderful updates of our 4 cats over the span of 4 days. We arrived to a clean home, as Eddy handled the spit up episodes from an anxious kitty tummy. I’m thankful to have found such a fantastic sitter!

Eddy was a fantastic cat sitter! Communication was great from the start, and I really appreciated the meet-and-greet before the reservation—it made me feel totally at ease. Eddy is kind, personable, and clearly loves cats. The photo updates of Quinn were the absolute cutest and such a highlight while I was away. I’d absolutely book again and highly recommend!

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Chicago cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a Meet & Greet!
