Hey there! I’m Loreto—thanks for checking out my profile! I’m a former Software Engineer who’s now all about taking care of cats, and I’d love to help look after yours.

I am local to Rogers Park, Ravenswood, Andersonville and have a car so I do not mind driving to you!

My schedule’s super flexible, so I can work around what your cat's needs. Over the past couple of years, I’ve lived with four cats so I get that every cat has their own vibe and preferences. I’m all about respecting boundaries, whether that means playtime or just giving them space to chill.

I know how important it is for cats to feel comfortable, so I always take my time to let them warm up to me. And of course, I’m big on communication—so you can expect quick replies and regular updates on how things are going.

Looking forward to meeting you and your awesome cat!

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

I’ve been a cat sitter for friends for over two years while they have been out of town for extended periods of time. In addition to helping friends, I currently spend a lot of time with my partner and her cat and have spent two to three years in households with cats.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love that cats are so well mannered. I love that they enjoy play but are also very comfortable relaxing nearby. Overall, I enjoy how balanced and calming cat sitting can be. But also, who doesn’t like to snuggle up with a cat ☺️

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Every cat has their needs and habits so prior to our meet and greet please keep these things in mind so we can discuss anything that stands out. Accidents happen while an owner is away from their cat so it’s helpful for me to know where your cleaning supplies are located in your home and where to take out trash.

Loreto was fantastic. He was consistent and prompt with his arrival times and communication, and always sent detailed updates with photos so I knew my kitties were being well cared for in accordance with their usual routine. He went the extra mile to keep everything neat and tidy, and I could tell that he genuinely enjoyed spending time with our pets, and that they enjoyed it too (our notoriously pickier cat spent quite a good deal of time snuggling with him!). My 12-year old was particularly obsessed (and impressed) with his updates: "10/10 we are hiring him again!".

Loreto was wonderful! He took care of Daffy on an overnight stay lasting a week. The whole time he was communicative, kind, and patient with my girl. She can be quite shy with meeting new friends, but he took the time to understand her needs and boundaries. Loreto even took a photo of her favorite toy to make sure he remembered it! It can be difficult being away from our furry friends for so long, but he made it a lot easier ☺️

Loreto was great! What really stood out is that he paid attention to all the extra little details that other sitters have missed (he cleaned up spills, washed the food dishes, took out the garbage so the house didn't smell when I returned from a trip, etc.). Loreto went above and beyond to make sure my cats had a clean, happy environment!

Loreto was great with my cat Bagel! he was super polite and communicative throughout the entire process. He always let me know when he arrived and left, always sent pictures, and was very attentive to Bagel's well-being since I let him know that he is usually stressed when I leave on overnight trips. I couldn't recommend him enough!

Everything went great, Loreto was amazing! Even our cat that never comes out said hello on day 3, which has never happened? We so appreciate the time, care, and flexibility he had - he even watered a few plants for us, which I so appreciate. We’ll definitely book again if needed in the future!

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!
