Meow! I'm Matt, a Cat Sitter in , IL
Hi, I'm Matt, and like you I'm absolutely obsessed with cats. I'm an artist, teacher, dad, and huge cat lover! I have over 15 years of experience caring for cats of all ages from kittens to seniors. From raising my own kittens through adulthood to fostering and socializing semi-feral cats, I'm skilled at gaining the trust of cats with a wide variety of personality types and love meeting cats on their own terms. I also have extensive experience administering a variety of medicines and treatments ranging from the relatively simple (pills and ointments) to the more intense (insulin injections, asthma inhalers and subcutaneous fluids). If your cat needs any kind of special care I'm more than happy to provide it. It’s my goal to make sure your cats are as loved and comfortable while you’re away as they would be if you were at home.

We have 3 cats and one was recently diagnosed with diabetes and requires insulin 2x a day. Our prospects for ever going on a vacation again seemed quite bleak until we met Matt. He's the bomb and must be a cat whisperer because not only was he able to administer the insulin no problem, he even (almost) won over my queen bee kitty who never comes out for any cat sitter. Forever grateful and our future vacations will now revolve around Matt's schedule! :-D

Matt took excellent care of my "pride" of five cats, including one that needs meds twice per day. He coaxed the shy ones, played with the bold ones, and sent photos of every cat twice a day (!) along with detailed reports. I was able to relax during my travels, knowing they were in such competent and caring hands. He was equally careful about house security, mail pickup and other necessities. Thanks, Matt!

Our grateful thanks to Matt for stepping in at the last minute and making time to look after our kitties when our flights were changed. He's the best!

Matt is the best! Our girl Sam is very shy & fearful of anyone who doesn't live in our home, but Matt was able to win her trust. She let him pet her & was purring & seeking more pets! He also was super attentive to feeding, etc, & sent detailed notes & awesome photos of visits. Highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions
The average price for a cat sitter is $29.00.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel. 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.
