Melissa cared for my cats over a 2 week period. I am so grateful for her reliability and the wonderful care she provides so I am able to travel with feeling at ease that the cats are well cared for. Thank you Melissa!

Melissa once again went above and beyond! She was so understanding and soothing in the midst of a cancellation and rebooking due to some last minute travel changes. We are so lucky to have found her! The cats have the best time with her!

Melissa was wonderful. Timely, communicative, and a shy kitty charmer! Helped with a few cat care things that came up unexpectedly that were above and beyond my expectations. Thank you, Melissa!

Amazing is the short review. Kind, reliable, self-sufficient, and very adaptable…extended my trip and she was awesome about assisting with the change in plans. I have two cats and they both adore her. Highly recommend! Thanks again Melissa!

Melissa was a fantastic sitter for my two kitties! We had just moved to Chicago & I was worried abt leaving the cats alone in a new environment, but Melissa sent me pictures each day & assured me they were doing well. I’ll definitely book with her again. 😸😸

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.
