I'm Matt | Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL
Hi, I'm Matt, and like you I'm absolutely obsessed with cats. I'm an artist, dad, and huge cat lover! I have nearly 20 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 ...
Matt's Reviews
Marilyn
Matt sent detailed updates with lots of pictures and took excellent care of my boys! I could tell from the photos that they had a blast playing with him and getting lots of attention.
Loretta
Percy and Penelope look for Matt after we return from vacation >^..^
Kathy
It's wonderful and amazing, but our very shy kitty Sam just loves Matt! He has her full trust during his visits, and it is because he is "The Cat Whisperer" in our opinion! He gives her tons of love and attention, sends thorough and terrific reports and photos, and is attentive to keeping our place near and clean, too. Matt is the best cat sitter ever!!
Laurel
Matt has been watching our fluffy terrorist for years now. He always sends the best updates and I can tell from the photos that Junior is getting the best care even if he’s terrorizing the whole house while we’re gone.
Theresa
I have absolute confidence in Matt- from his affection and attentiveness towards my felines, to making sure the house is secure when he leaves. I can focus on whatever I'm doing instead of worrying.

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.
