Eva was wonderful. I had a difficult situation with needing to get pest control done while on vacation, and Eva handled all the logistics of making sure my cat was safe in the process like a pro. My kitty was safe and happy with Eva - which made my long vacation absolutely stress-free!

Eva went above and beyond taking care of my babies. I was nervous to leave for vacation because one of them is now on steady meds. But Eva eased all my worries. She followed all my directions, even the special requests like giving one of my cats some tub water (there was no judgment!) She checked in and sent updates and photos. I think one of my kitties like her more than me! She was also kind enough to pick up litter that was delivered and cleaned up the messes that my girls left behind. I highly recommend Eva to take care of your fur babies! Thank you, Eva!

Eva was fantastic with our Harvey, once again. She provided us with updates and photos twice a day, expertly administered his supplements, and eventually got our shy boy out from under the bed for lots of headbuts and playtime. Highly recommended sitter!

This is my second time using Eva and she did a fantastic job looking after my shy, asthmatic, older cat. He's a little fearful of people he doesn't see regularly and hides. It's been a few months since he saw Eva, but he warmed right back up to her the first day. She was also super flexible with scheduling and followed my detailed instructions well. I will definitely hire her again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Chicago cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!

Eva was nothing short of phenomenal when they came over to take care of my boy Louis. They provided timely updates, sent great pictures of my cat playing and posing for the camera, and had such an attentive, caring attitude when we met to go over the basics. When I came home, my boy was all over me and looking fantastic, and it’s all thanks to the attention and care Eva had. I can not thank them enough and can not RECOMMEND them enough. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Eva did an amazing job with my shy cat who was having a last-minute flare-up of his asthma. She was able to do a last-minute overnight to keep better eyes on him. She even got him to come out and play after a couple of days. She also sent updates and pics that reassured me that he was being well taken care and improving.

We’ve used Eva many times, and she’s everything you’d want in a cat sitter—dependable, communicative, and deeply caring. She keeps us updated with thoughtful messages and photos, so we can travel with complete peace of mind knowing our cats are in gentle, capable hands. She administers medication calmly and reliably, and Every time we come home, our cats aee relaxed and content.

Eva was absolutely incredible! she did an amazing job taking care of my elderly cat for the entire week that I was gone. I have to give bonus points as well for how great she was about communicating not only with detailed descriptions of how each visit went, but also with photos and videos of my cat purring. 15/10 best cat sitter ever.

Eva did a fantastic job taking care of our cat. In the past, when we went away on trips, our cat would be very anxious when we got back. This time however, with Eva taking care of her, she was completely normal when we got back. Will continue to use EVA every time we go away.
Melissa
