I'm Lizzy | Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL

Hi there, my name is Lizzy and I would love to take care of your kitties! From the time I could walk and talk, my house was always full of cats, dogs, birds, and rodents! My mom was a bird breeder and raised me as an animal lover to the core. This fostered in me a deep sense of comfortability around animals from a young age and an importance for having them in my life. While I love and adore all animals, there is a special place in my heart reserved for cats. Cats can have such a range of personalities and needs, and their love is so rewarding! My approach to new kitties is always sensitive and respectful towards their body language and communication, and I embrace building a relationship with them over time. Throughout my years of cat sitting I've taken care of young kitties with boundless energy, senior kitties with accessibility needs, shy kitties that need patience and encouragement (and oftentimes sniffs), and very social kitties who, well, lay it all out for ya. I currently have two incredibly friendly orange tabbies of my own that turned 12 years old this year! I’ve be...

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

I've been a certified sitter on Meowtel since 2020, and through that experience I've looked after both young cats and senior cats, and kitties that need medication! Prior to Meowtel I was a regular pet sitter (cats, dogs, and birds) for friends and family members. I've been looking after animals since I was old enough to!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Cats are my favorite animals to spend time with. I love to make new kitty friends!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

One of the most rewarding moments that sticks with me was when I was cat sitting a very shy kitty named Bob. During my meet & greet and first couple of visits with Bob, he shied away and did not want to be followed, so I gave him space. On the third visit while I was cleaning his litter box, I turned around to see him sniffing me. After that moment, his demeanor completely changed! He became so sweet, playful, and excited when I came to visit him. He was such a sweetheart, and he just needed time to come out of his shell on his own terms.

I would definitely recommend Lizzy to take care of your little ones. My cat is rather shy but she knew how to approach him, she was very pacient and sweet with my cat. Lizzy also provided pictures and a wide description of how my cat behaved with her. He loved her!

Making the reservation was easy and quick. Great communication all around. Andthe meet and greet was great also. An excellent chance to see how our cats react and respond to Lizzy. We all loved her ftom the start! And Lizzy had some excellent questions and took many notes. We felt very comfortable and secure leaving our kitties with Lizzy in charge. We'll definitely call on Lizzy again- she's an awesome cat person! ( She even trimmed some claws for us!) Thank you!

Lizzy did such a great job watching after my cat Rico! Lizzy always provided photos and updates each time she stopped by to see him. Overall, Lizzy went above and beyond to take great care of Rico. I was so glad to know he was in great hands. I will definitely book Lizzy again.

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 $36.00. 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.
