Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL

Hello! My name is Meghan, I have been a lifelong lover of cats and took in my own fur baby, Simon, over 8 years ago. Simon is very playful and active and runs a successful biscuit shop. When he isn't busy chasing mousie toys and losing them under furniture, he loves a good cuddle. He has a few health issues and is very picky with food, so I know how important it is to ensure he has great care when I am away—adminis... Hello! My name is Meghan, I have been a lifelong lover of cats and took in my own fur baby, Simon, over 8 years ago. Simon is very playful and active and runs a successful biscuit shop. When he isn't busy chasing mousie toys and losing them under furniture, he loves a good cuddle. He has a few health issues and is very picky with food, so I know how important it is to ensure he has great care when I am away—administering medication, feeding, and most importantly playing with him to keep him active. I'd love to help you keep your cat fed and loved while you're traveling too.

I'm a fundraiser at Northwestern's Medical School (downtown office) and live in Rogers Park. I have a car and bike, and am happy to travel to nearby areas and can be flexible to fit your needs! Let's connect and see if I am the right cat sitter for you!

Meghan took great care of our kitty, Debbie, while we were on vacation. This was our first trip away from her and we’re a bit anxious about leaving her, but she was in great hands with Meghan. She sent daily updates and photos which made being away easier. Would highly recommend.

Meghan is a fantastic cat sitter, and I highly recommend her! She has seen my Mac a couple of times now and I know he is in good hands. Her responses are always timely, and I get great updates during her visits. I can tell she makes my cat very comfortable with plenty of cuddles. Due to a cancelled flight, I asked Meghan to extend her stay and she got back instantly which was a great relief to me and Mac. Definitely let Meghan take care of your kitty!

We felt so confident leaving our girl with Meghan when we went away for a long weekend! Our senior cat requires wet food twice daily, and Meghan did an amazing job tending to the quirky little details that makes her comfotable, and cared for. You are in great hands with Meghan!

Our 4 kitties were well taken care of while we were gone! Meghan went out of her way to share pictures with us even when the app wasn't working correctly. All of our kitties got playtime too, which they love. We would definitely hire Meghan again.

Meghan did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats when I was out of the country for two weeks. She was thorough, reliable, and caring to my girls. I felt so reassured that she was there taking care of everything in my absence. Her daily updates included detailed information and video/pictures. Thanks so much, Meghan! 😻

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Chicago cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!
