Marilyn is a fantastic choice to watch your cats. She asks lots of questions to make sure you and your cat are comfortable. Marilyn is extremely communicative about your pet’s behavior and temperament when she visits. She sends pictures and really takes her role seriously. I will not hesitate to book w/ Marilyn again in the future!

Marilyn put my mind at ease as a first time user of the app. She did such a great job watching my cat while I was gone for a week. Definitely recommend!

Marilyn was awesome. I was driving across country so my sense of time was messed up but I got updates and pictures that reminded me my baby was ok. Seamless. Highly recommend.

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 $28.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 cat sitter on Meowtel has been background-checked and reviewed. Every Meowtel reservation may come 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 may come with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
