Learn More About Amelia

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have two kitties as members of my family, an eight-year-old black cat named Bruce, and a one-year-old orange kitten named Rio. Bruce is anxious with strangers but a cuddly lap cat with me and his other parent. He has struggled with allergies his whole life, and was recently diagnosed with heart disease. He is a sensitive boy that requires lots of attention, but the love he gives makes it so very worth it. I adopted Rio a little over a year ago, and he has been a lively and cheeky addition to the household. He always wants to play, and he wants attention from everyone.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am typically available during holidays and all weekends. I generally have a flexible schedule that can work with your needs.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I have a lot of experience with anxious cats. One of my own cats, Bruce, experiences a lot of anxiety with visitors and going to the vet. What I’ve learned from him as well as other anxious cats I’ve looked after, is that every cat has different comfort levels, and they will usually communicate that to you pretty strongly! To gain an anxious cat’s trust, I like to make sure I’m not a noisy or scary intrusion in their space. I will sit quietly and low to the ground, and let them acclimate to my presence. Ultimately, I let the cat tell me what they’re comfortable with, and come to me when they’re ready. This is their home, so I always want to respect that.

Amelia was wonderful with my anxious older cat while I was away on an extended vacation. She shared detailed check-ins and photos, and won my little guy over.

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 $28.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 cat sitter on Meowtel has been background-checked and reviewed. Every Meowtel reservation may come 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 may come with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
