I'm Sawyer | Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL
Hi, I’m Sawyer! I am in my twenties and I moved to Chicago two years ago. I have been fostering and cat sitting for 10 years! I’ve worked for two cat shelters in the past.

Sawyer's Reviews
Theresa
My partner and I genuinely cannot recommend Sawyer highly enough! She went above and beyond while caring for our two cats while we were out of town for 5 days. Not only did Sawyer provide exceptional care, but she also kept a close eye on the healing progress for one of my cats after a recent and scary fall. Additionally, she gave one of the cats two pills a day and watched closely for any related nausea, etc. Sawyer’s patience, kindness, and genuine love for animals were evident in everything she did. What truly set Sawyer apart was her constant communication—I received regular text updates and photos, which gave me immeasurable peace of mind. She also made thoughtful and informed decisions about the care of both of my cats, ensuring they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly dedicated to pet care, Sawyer is the absolute best choice!
Rachel
Sawyer was a wonderful cat sitter. She was patient with my scared granny cat, responsive, flexible, followed directions to T, provided updates each time, and was very thorough. I would absolutely have Sawyer take care of my cat again.

Katrina
I was nervous leaving my cat for a week for the first time but Sawyer did such a great job and made it so much easier. She sent detailed updates, photos, and videos which kept my mind at ease because I knew she was being well taken care of. I was so surprised too she got my shy kitty who normally won’t come out for strangers to come out and play. I will absolutely use her again!
Sarah
Sawyer did an excellent job checking in on our cat, Ella Jane! She was very responsive and we appreciated knowing our shy kitty was checked on while we were away.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee
We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

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 $34.00. 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.
