I'm Mackenzie | Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL
Hi there! My name is Mackenzie and I hope to be your new favorite cat sitter! I grew up with many pets, and now have a 7-year-old Bengal named Louie. I’ve always loved animals and believe they are family and should be treated as such. I know from personal experience how difficult it can be to find a reliable sitter and enjoy time away while your cat is home alone. I plan to be your eyes and ears on the ground to make sure your cat is comfortable and happy! I am comfortable and experienced caring for cats of all ages, temperaments and medical c...
Mackenzie's Reviews
Alyssa
I felt so great about leaving my 2 kitties with Mackenzie. She gave incredible updates with lots of photos and video! She also went above and beyond and brought in a couple packages while we were out.
Alexandra
Mackenzie is amazing! Super communicative and caring towards my two cats. Will definitely be booking her again.
Lucy
So happy we found Mackenzie! Great updates/photos and also felt very comfortable having her administer medications to my cat. Will definitely hire Mackenzie in the future :)

Mackenzie is so thorough and sweet! She completely charmed our silly little orange cat, Bowser. I highly recommend her services!
Sara
Mackenzie was amazing and took wonderful care of Roger and Momo! I loved the photo and video updates with each visit. All of her updates included all of the details I needed and I could tell she had a lot of experience taking care of cats. She was great about giving Roger his daily med too. She helped ease a lot of my worries about being away from my cats. Roger and Momo looked so happy, healthy, and well when we returned!

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 $31.00. 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.
