Learn More About Madeline

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

Before adopting my two adorable cats, I spent years cat sitting for my extended family and friends. I have tons of experience caring for cats with all different types of personalities.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two wonderful cats named Pickles and Mango. They are beyond precious and completely different from each other. Pickles is a playful energetic orange cat and Mango is a super shy torti. So lucky to have them both!!

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

I would look for a good communicator who is committed to understanding your cats needs as well as your own! I understand first hand how important finding the right sitter is because our cats are so precious to us. So finding someone who listens, asks questions, and communicates in a timely fashion is key!

Madeline was excellent with my cats! My cats are very shy but they warmed up surprisingly quickly to her. Madeline’s communication was excellent and she sent many updates and pictures during her visits. Would recommend Madeline 100%!

Maddy is a kind, thoughtful person who loves cats! She has raised cats who both love affection and prefer to be solo, and knows how to manage both personalities very well. She also has worked with kittens, having raised her own cats since they were babies. She is also a trustworthy, respectful, and communicative person who will take care of your space.

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 $29.00. 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.
