I'm Maureen | Cat Sitting in Chicago, IL

My career in animal welfare began in 2012 with a fully immersive internship caring for rescued farm animals at a sanctuary in upstate NY. Since leaving the sanctuary I have continued working full time in animal care, covering many aspects from direct action rescue work to coordinating foster homes to managing a dog daycare. In 2021 I began working as a veterinary technician...

Learn More About Maureen

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

I began catsitting professionally about 10 years ago and it is my favorite way to supplement my income. I truly enjoy getting to know each new cat client, and I get so much satisfaction from making sure their humans minds are at ease while they are away. As a veterinary professional and cat guardian myself, I know what I want out of a sitter and always go above and beyond to provide the best service possible.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 2 cats, Mercutio (aka Koosh) is 13 years old and Sylvie is 11. Sylvie is a tripod so she has some special needs. I've been guardian to both of them since they were kittens and I love them both dearly. I also foster kittens frequently.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes I am almost always available during holidays! Petsitting is my priority during the holiday season, so I always adjust my schedule to accommodate my clients.

Maureen is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about animals and has a wealth of experience in both pet sitting and administering medical care. I have entrusted her as an adopter, a foster, and as a pet sitter for my own animals because she is a rare person I can fully trust.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
