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

I have never not had a cat in my life! I’ve spent many years (over ten) watching my parents cats. I also have spent the last three years I’ve been in Chicago watching friends cats while they are away. I am also part of a cat-sitting group within my apartment building that’s been running for about a year.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I did have a kitty until recently. She was 17 and passed from kidney disease, so I have extensive experience dealing with kitties that need a special diet, or even need subcutaneous fluids administered. Part of the reason I want to be a cat sitter is to fulfill my love of being around cats. My most recent cat, Lily, was my soulmate, but I am looking to get a pair of kitties next year!

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

My advice would to schedule a virtual visit first to get a feel for the sitter. Next I would meet them in person and see how they interact with my cat. I’ve hired a handful of times through Meowtel and I can always tell who is going to be a good sitter just from how they initially interact with my cat. I would also look for someone who has genuine love for taking care of cats and isn’t looking to make quick money by just stopping by.

Ally was wonderful! She took care of Willow for 2 days, stopping in for about an hour. She made sure she had food and water refilled, played with her, and gave her lots of love and Willow looked so happy to see her in photos!! I absolutely recommend Ally and will definitely book her again when I go out of town!

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.
