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 was amazing from the first moment of communication. She immediately hit it off with my cats and her updates were thorough— not to mention the STUNNING photos she got of my cats. I came home to two happy kitties :) I highly recommend Maureen. She is trustworthy, a great commutator, and will give your cats all of the love. I look forward to working with you again, Maureen!

Our kitties will not stop talking about Maureen! She was the perfect fit for our kittens and even managed to bring a very shy and anxious boy out of his shell.

Maureen and the kitties got along great- even our shyest one warmed up to her! She updated us each visit with plenty of awesome photos. We had such a good experience with her that we immediately booked her again for our next trip. Highly recommend!!

Maureen was an excellent sitter for our cat Beanz. She took great pictures and came over before the booked time to ensure she knew where everything was and what Beanz liked! We will definitely book with her again!

Maureen did a great job taking care of our cat Floyd while we were out of town. Maureen even showed up early the day of the marathon to avoid street closures since our apartment was along the marathon path.

Maureen has a wealth of experience with cats of all ages and temperaments. I always know that my cats are in great hands when Maureen is their caretaker. She does a great job with medication and I always return to happy cats and a clean home.

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.
