My name is Andrew (26) and I live in Lakeview, Chicago. I have two cats at home named Astro (5, Buff Tabby) and Rocky (1, Tuxedo Tabby). Some notable strengths include, building trust with cats, playing with cats for enrichment, and strictly following any process or directions provided. I preferable do house calls a couple times a day, but can do full day home sits depending on the right circumstances. I will also provide updates, pictures, and communicate any questions in a timely manner. Outside of cat sitting, I work remotely in program management and enjoy playing sports and trying new restaurants!

Learn More About Andrew

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats at home! My first one is named Astro who is 5yrs old and a buff tabby. My 2nd is named Rocky who is a 1yr old and a tuxedo tabby.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

My process for working with a new cat parent is to have a pre-conversation with them before the cat sitting. This pre conversation is to get to know the parent and cats a little bit better. I also suggest a walkthrough while they are still present to help clarify any ambiguous instructions.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toys are stick toys with something at the end of it. I use the stick toy in a way where the cat thinks it’s an animal getting away from them. Cats always seem to enjoy chasing something mysterious!

Andrew was very attentive with tons of pics of my senior cat. She required special care due to her daily medication & he did a great job making sure she was safe in that dept. She enjoyed her treat time with him & looked comfortable w/him which is rare . Would recommend for your special fur baby care 💕

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 $29.00. 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!
