Learn More About Nan

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I've been cat sitting since 2020. However, I've had cats in my life since my youth. I have experience with injections, hydration IV, oral and topical medications. If something doesn't seem right with your cat, I will ask. I helped one owner discover her cat had diabetes by the way the kitty was walking. I believe each cat communicates differently, but knowing symptoms of Feline problems is also important and I take it seriously.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Building a relationship with each kitty! Some are social, some cautious. I like to sit and let them tell me about their life in their environment. I'm a guest. When I get a brush from a tail or a head butt... I'm thrilled!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

Wow! So many to choose from. I think my most successful and satisfying reservation was the cat I mentioned earlier, who would hiss and hide until, weeks later he finally trusted that I was safe and worthy of his attention. He was just a very attached cat and had his own pace about adjusting. Don't we all?!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Help the sitter understand your cat and your needs through communication and preparation. The easier it is to access the space and the supplies, the more time I can spend reassuring,cuddling and playing with your furry family.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I plan to consistently communicate both success and concerns in order to best meet the needs of my families. I'm happy to connect in person, on the phone or by text/email. I'm happy to answer questions anytime!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I make sure I have the information about the location ahead of time. I check doors and windows to be sure all are secure so kitties don't get out to an unsafe situation. I also make sure there isn't any water running that isn't specified by the owner! On my first visit I make sure I have all the supplies need for all planned visits. I dbl. check the door is secured as I leave.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes!! My holidays are very flexible. If I have plans that might interfere I will make sure it is on the calendar that I'm not available at that time.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Feather on a line and catnip bubbles! I occasionally use a laser but cats can get frustrated with these because they never actually capture anything, which is their reason for playing! Videos on YouTube are very helpful too!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I'm very, very patient with all cats, but especially the shy or anxious beings. I've had several experiences where the cat was more of a ghost! I sit quietly. I may turn on music or the TV to make the space as normal as possible. I had one cat come out briefly because I played the piano, like their family member did! Otherwise, if they're eating food and treats and drinking water, I generally don't force a relationship.

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 $30.00. 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.
