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
Cathleen
Absolutely perfect experience with Mackenzie! She was super easy to communicate with, gave a thorough update each day, and took photos every visit so I could see my girls. 10/10 would recommend and will be a repeat customer!
Shani
Mackenzie is the best cat sitter we’ve used. She is really good with our cat Lily. Her updates are perfect and timely with lots of great photos. I highly recommend her!
Jenny

Excellent meow auntie
Aubrey
Mackenzie was amazing with my cat Archie who can be very spicy and feisty to anyone new so it’s been tough to find the right fit for someone to watch her. She sent great updates, got her to play (amazed), and went above and beyond by showing up last minute when I couldn’t get home as planned.

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 $35.00. 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.
