I’m a long time cat owner and TNR (trap, neuter, release) advocate and volunteer foster. I have adopted and cared for 6 cats in my lifetime, one with end stage kidney failure and significant medical needs, and am comfortable with the unique and sometimes complex care needs of cats of all ages. In my time as a TNR volunteer, I’m proud to have facilitated the care and fostering of dozens of cats in my community. I currently have three adopted kitties: Stanley Tucci, Miso, and Domino, and will always provide the same level of care, attention, and love to your cats as I do to mine. You can depend on me to make sure that your fur babies are safe, fed, get plenty of playtime, and that their box is clean. Looking forward to meeting you!

Learn More About Anna

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

I have been a volunteer and rescue foster over 10 years, caring for both cats and dogs. I have experience with cats of all temperaments and ages - including colony/feral cats, cats with medical needs, and geriatric kitties.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have three of my own cats: Stanley Tucci, Miso, and Domino. I also help my parents care for their two cats, Olivia and Peach Cobbler (both of who I rescued!) and help take care of colony cats in Logan Square.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Having a sitter who matches your expectations for staying in touch, giving check-in updates, and availability is key. I travel often and know from personal experience that it's extremely disappointing to not have these needs met by your sitter, so you can count of me to be at my visits when I say I will be, and to send plenty of pictures and videos as well as verbal updates where requested. I'm always just a text or a phone call away if you're feeling anxious.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Following instructions is extremely important when you're accessing someone's home. One of my top priorities is knowing if your cat is an escape artist who might get anxious and try to run off while mom/dad are out of town. This is something I take very seriously. I will also always clarify other instructions e.g.; lights on/off, whether you want any blinds or curtains opened or closed during the day/night, details about alarm system or cameras, and anything else that you want me to keep in mind to keep your home secure. Some cats get bored when they're home alone so I'll also always check to make sure cabinets are closed, a stove knob hasn't been turned accidentally, and that nothing is out of place that they could get into.

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

Take it at their pace - you really can't force it with cats. When they're ready, they'll come to you. Being patient and moving slowly and mindfully is important.

I have known Anna and lived with her for years in the past. She cared for my animals as if they were her own. I would trust her and very few others with my fur babies. She is trustworthy and reliable. You are in 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 $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!
