Learn More About Tania

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! This is one of my favorite times to cat sit. I am always in the city for holidays and understand that travel during this time is stressful enough. Having the right sitter is important.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Feathers are an all around favorite. Laser pointers are great to use to descalate situations and a must before feeds.

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

I have several timid and anxious cats. This is really their nature. My goal is to not try to change the behavior but adapt to what the cat needs. Tone of voice and slow movements help to "neutralize" uncomfortable situations. Also, always have a toy in your pocket ready to go!

I have nothing but glowing things to say about Tania and the care she provided to my cranky old man cat, Boogie. He’s almost 16 and like most older cats he has some quirks and strong preferences on who he welcomes into his living space. immediately upon arriving to our Meet & Greet, Boogie walked up to greet Tania without hesitation and after giving her some welcome sniffs, he hung out close by as I walked her through his routine. She sent me daily updates on all the essential info and sent along several photos and videos of Boogie that showed me he that he was not only being a very brave boy but he was very content with her company. I highly recommend Tania as a cat sitter, especially if you have an older cat who needs someone who speaks cat language fluently 😸

Tania continues to be an amazing sitter for our kitties. She’s really knowledgeable about behaviors and symptoms as well as how to manage them. She even dealt with a particularly nasty poop incident with one of our kitties, and she handled it with so much knowledge and compassion. Truly cannot recommend Tania enough!

Frequently Asked Questions

Chicago cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
