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

I’ve been cat sitting professionally - via apps and word of mouth - for about a year and a half. Most of that time, cat sitting was my full-time job. Before that, I was the go-to cat sitter for family and friends for the last 15ish years. I’ve had my own cats even longer than that: since I (and my parents) adopted my first one at age 9. I’ve been obsessed with cats and caring for them ever since!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My kitten’s name is Bear (full name Camembert to honor his pre-adoption name of Cheese). I was housesitting for a pregnant mama cat when she gave birth, and I was ‘helped’ her through it (though she definitely did all the hard work haha). It seemed fated that I adopt one of the kittens, so Bear came to me 10 weeks later!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I want to make sure I’m as prepared as possible to give your cat the best care. We'll have a video call or meet and greet to go over the details before the booking, during which I'll ask about the tasks needed of me, such as what and how much to feed them or whether they take medication. I’ll also ask if your cat has a history of medical or behavioral issues that I should keep an eye out for. I love to learn about your cat’s personality – if they are skittish, snuggly, etc. – so I can approach and engage with them in a way that best meets their needs. I also want to know if there are any special habits or games that your cat plays (ex. They want water if they’re standing by the sink) so I can do them too!

Lily is responsible, thoughtful and exceptionally caring toward my cat. I felt totally at ease leaving my cat with her knowing he would be in great hands. She is super communicative and flexible to meeting your cat's needs. I would definitely recommend her services!

Lily is an exceptional cat sitter. She has shown so much love and tenderness towards our chronically ill cat and provides consistent and routine updates. She is organized, responsive, and loves our cat as much as we do.

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 $30.00. 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.
