Hi! I’m Adam, a full-time cat sitter in my late twenties with years of experience caring for cats of all ages and personalities. Whether you need a quick check-in, multiple visits a day, or overnight care, I’ll make sure your cat is fed, comfortable, and loved on while you are away.

I take a calm and patient approach, letting each cat decide how much interaction they want. Some are happiest with a little playtime and pets, while others just need a clean litter box, fresh food, and a gentle presence. I am also comfortable giving medication and following any special instructions you provide.

You can expect photo and video updates during every visit so you always feel connected and reassured that your cat is doing well.

I am fully insured, a non-smoker, and truly passionate about giving cats the best care possible. Your cat’s comfort and happiness will always be my priority, and I would love the chance to look after them soon.

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

I started cat sitting as a kid by helping out neighbors and family friends when they traveled. What began as a small favor has grown into something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. Now, I cat sit professionally and have had the opportunity to care for many cats in a variety of homes. Each one has their own personality and needs, and I always do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable. I treat every cat I care for with the same attention and compassion I’d want someone to give to mine.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is getting to know each cat and figuring out their personality. Every cat is different. Some love attention, while others are happy just having someone nearby. It’s especially rewarding to earn the trust of a cat who might be a little shy at first and to know they feel comfortable and safe while their owner is away. There’s something really peaceful about it, and I genuinely enjoy being part of their little world, even if it’s only for a short time.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

When I’m caring for timid or anxious cats, I focus on being gentle and patient. I give them plenty of space and never push for interaction. Instead, I let them come to me when they feel ready. I’ll usually start by simply being in the room with them, speaking softly and moving slowly. I avoid direct eye contact and pay close attention to their body language so I can adjust my approach as needed. Sometimes, just sitting nearby and offering a treat can help build a little trust. I always respect their boundaries and see even the smallest signs of progress as something worth celebrating.

Adam was a wonderful sitter for our girls! He was responsive to our messages and sent us photos of the cats daily. He was super detail oriented around accessing our home and conscientious about leaving it locked up when he left. He even went above and beyond what we asked for and vacuumed the room where the litter box lives when it got a little dusty. I would certainly hire him again!

Adam took great care of my two cats for the week. It was my first time using a sitter I didn't know, and I felt very comfortable leaving them with him. I loved the pictures every day! I didn't have to worry or wonder at all :-)

Adam was excellent with my cat. He took a really good care of him and even he’s a old cat and kind of shy, Adam was able to make him feel comfortable.

Adam did a wonderful job taking care of my cat. I was away camping and my responses were delayed, but he was patient and understanding throughout. He went above and beyond to make sure my cat was well cared for, which gave me such peace of mind. I truly appreciate the extra effort he put in—it made all the difference knowing he was in such good hands.

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 $30.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
