I'm Cauria | Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL

Hi, I’m Cauria! I’ve always been a cat person at heart. Even though I couldn’t have one growing up (family allergies!), I’ve loved spending time with cats whenever I can— whether it’s sitting for friends and family or making neighborhood cats my besties. I love how each cat has their own personality, and I’m all about earning their trust and letting them take the lead...

Learn More About Cauria

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

I’ve been cat sitting on and off since 2020, mainly for friends and family. I love cat sitting because I feel my spirit animal is a cat—I truly believe we have a mutual understanding of respecting each other’s space and independence. That said, I’m also very observant and can read their body language to know when they want to play, cuddle, or engage with me. Whether they’re shy or outgoing, I adapt to their needs, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable during my visits.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love cat sitting because I’ve always wanted a cat, but my family members are allergic, so we never had one growing up. I truly enjoy building a relationship with every cat I meet, and I find it so cute how they all have their unique personalities—some are sassy, some are shy, and others are more needy. It’s so exciting to me when I earn a cat’s trust; it really makes my day. Some cats trust me right away, too! Even when I’m walking around my neighborhood, cats will come up to me for pets, show me their belly, and even follow me! It just brings me so much joy 🥹

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

I take both the cat’s safety and the home’s security very seriously. I always double-check that doors and windows are secure before leaving, and I’m mindful about not letting the cat slip outside—especially if they’re indoor-only. I follow the owner's instructions closely and stay attentive to the cat’s behavior. I believe cats are very perceptive, so if they seem distressed or something feels off, I read their cues and respond calmly. I also stay alert to anything unusual in the home and treat the space with the same care and respect I would my own.

Linda

Cauria is a very responsible, and more importantly a caring and gentle person. I first hired Cauria to take care of an older cat I adopted. My cat was extremely shy with new people, but Cauria was very patient and never forceful. She fed, watered, and kept my place tidy. She was very patient until my cat decided to approach and meet her. She kept my place clean, and followed everything I instructed her to do (i.e. water the plants) She took care of my cat every time I went out of town. I highly highly recommend Cauria.

Cauria is reliable, respectful, calm, and warm! She has been a reliable source of peace and calm for my anxious, reactive pet which means so much to me! Truly a godsend!

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 $31.00. 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.
