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

I have been catsitting since I was a teenager (26 now!) and have had many cats in my life over the years. I have had wonderful experiences cat sitting, and still frequently do so for friends and for my partner’s 3 cats. I have experience catsitting for elderly cats and cats who require medication and other special care.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I have always adored spending time with cats. I love the way they think, play, how mischevious and silly they are, the list could go on! I am the type of person who finds a lot of fulfillment in spending time with animals, I hope your cats don’t mind me asking how their day was.

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

My partner has two incredibly timid cats that I’ve recently developed trust with (enough that they come out of hiding to say hi to me!), and I’ve learned a few tricks from this experience. Being mindful of how I’m moving is a huge one — heavy footsteps, doors shutting, etc. can all be really scary for a cat, so I try to be extra mindful about my presence and body language. Eye contact is another thing that can feel threatening to cats, so sometimes it’s best to avoid it directly. Listening for subtle cues of their needs is huge with timid cats. I won’t pet them until they ask for it, but I will absolutely be responsive when they do!

Isabella is a fantastic cat sitter! She took the time to set up a meet & greet prior to her visit to understand my cat’s needs and sent me lots of pictures of my cat during her visit. I look forward to working with her again!

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!
