Jennifer
Serena was great! She took notes and was very thoughtful at our meet and greet. Bonus, she gave us a really good suggestion to help our senior cat take her medication. During the visit she was very communicative and sent great videos of her giving our cat lots of pets. She was also able to administer 3 oral meds to our cat! I would highly recommend her if you want to know your cat is in good care… especially if your cat needs any medication or extra love!

Serena was great! She took my last minute booking and was very attentive to my two cats. She sent thorough updates and lots of pictures and I felt very comfortable with her watching them even though I hadn’t had a chance to meetup with her before due to the timing. Would 100% book with her again

Serena was great! We were a couple days away from taking a trip when our elderly cat was diagnosed with a lung condition that was going to require daily medicine. We weren’t going to be able to bring her along and were in need of great care on a short timeline. Serena was showing as partially available during our trip, but after I reached out she found a way to fit us into her schedule. Serena had no problem with getting our cat the medicine she needed, and was also great about checking in with us about our cat’s condition each day. Beyond that she did a great job with all the daily duties. Based on past cat caretakers I had a lower expectation of how she would keep up with the cat pans, but she actually went the extra mile and kept up with all the details of cleaning them that I would normally do. Based on her dedication to cats and her experience we had great peace of mind on our trip, even given the extenuating circumstances surrounding it.

Serena was a wonderful pet sitter! She offered several times for the meet and greet, took good notes, and spent qualify time with each of our cats. Communication with her was fast and reliable, and we received many updates during the visits. There's nothing better than getting to see pictures of your furry family having a good time when you're away. I would not hesitate to recommend Serena, or book her in the future.

Annie
Serena was awesome!! She really went the extra mile - I had a last-minute trip come up that didn't leave me enough time to do a meet & greet, and she still understood all the directions I left and even checked them off on sticky notes so I knew everything was handled! She also sent me a super detailed report, and even cleaned up / vacuumed / did dishes which I did not expect but SOOO appreciated coming home to after a stressful trip! Will definitely book again! :-)

Serena is responsible, kind and I would trust her with caring for any of my pets. She is a observant pet owner and would not hesitate to seek care for an animal under her care if she was concerned.

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.
