I'm Sarah | Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL

Hello my Lovely Feline Families! My name is Sarah and I am a crazy cat lover just like you. Not only did I grow up with cats, but I have a wonderful bonded pair of my own that are quite literally my family. Caregiving has always been built into me. Whether that’s people, things, or animals, I have always treated them as if they were my own. I am a teacher by day, so I am already paid to take care of many someone’s as a career! As my colleagues would say about me, I care so much about the quality of education and the emotional care I provide my students. Now onto cats! My cats are my children and I treat all pets just like my own! Your cat is more than just a pet. They are your family. You put a lot of trust into people that care for them while you’re away! I have been you and understand the stress! I guarantee not only will your cats be taken care of the way you want them to be, I will go above and beyon...

Learn More About Sarah

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 2 kitties! Both about 16 months. They are a sister bonded pair of Tabicos named Lilith and Áine (on-yah). They’re named after powerful folklore women 💪🏻 They are spunky, silly, and the sweetest little bugs ever. They love to play fetch, funny enough, and their obsession with the laser pointer perks up any bad mood. They need a lot of attention and care so I am very knowledgeable!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

My process is simple: listen first. Pet parents want to know you’re truly hearing every single part of their furry family member’s needs and wants. Once the family feels heard, then I will go on and do the following: I will tell them a little bit about myself and who I am as a person so they feel like they know me. I don’t want them to feel like I’m a weird stranger who’s watching their cats! I will also make sure I know of anyone I can contact in the area that they trust in case of emergency. I will be with their cats every step of the way, but knowing there is a familiar person is comforting. Finally, communication. How frequently? Pictures? Videos? What do they need to feel stress-free!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Depending on the holiday. Major holidays I am usually only available in one zone since I do go to my hometown, but if you are a frequent client of mine, we might be able to work something out :)

I am at happy that Sarah was able to care for my senior babies. She did everything I requested and her love for cats made feel comfortable she would give them the care they deserved. Thank you, Sarah!

Sarah was so detailed and organized! She took great notes and was always on time and sent photos. She made sure to check off everything on her list of to dos and my kitties loved getting her attention and playtime with her!

Sarah was great when taking care of our Daisy. She provided thorough updates, showing what was done while visiting via a checklist. Also spent time just petting and being with her, as Daisy is older and just needs a friend when we are gone.

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 $35.00. 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.
