Learn More About Gabrielle

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Meow! Hi, I'm Skiffy. I'm a 2-year old kitty who loves attention and food :D I love sitting on my mom's laptop, coming in for snuggles during a cold day, and begging to eat even though she's just fed me. I have a bit of food allergy issues, which my mom has been very diligent in separating my food from my brothers, keeping cross-contamination at bay, and tricking me into eating my medication even when I think it's super yucky! My brother wants to play with the keyboard now, so I'll let him take over. HIHIHI I'm CINNA! I'm a crazy kitten who loves nothing more but to play with my brother and my mom with wand toys and catnip. I started off as a super shy, picky eater, 6 week old foster kitten that would run away from the slightest movement, but with my mom's help I'm SUPER BRAVE!

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

In our first few messages, I’d love to hear about you/your kitties needs! Please tell me about their regular schedule, including things like their regular feeding times, if they have specific play times/durations, and whether they’re confident or scaredy cats! Please feel free to even let me know about smaller things, like whether the kitties want me to clean their litter box with every poo, if they must sit before I serve them a meal, or even if you’d like me to take them on walks.

Before the sit, I’d also like to do a meet and greet to make sure the kitties have at least met me before, and to go over where items are stored/house rules.

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

I have a string chewer and an allergic cat, so I am very aware of the potential risks and dangers to kitties when they are alone. I will always keep food (human and kitty) out of reach, keep items (toys, clothing, and shoes) that have strings or small loose items away until I’m actively supervising them, and constantly check on potential fall-hazards like vases, electronics, etc to ensure they are not in a position where they will get knocked down. 

I am very diligent about keeping the home relatively clean, and I will always help keep your spaces tidy during my sit for the sake of the kitties! For drop-in visits, I implore you to have a security camera active while I’m away so that you can be notified of any emergencies! I am always available by text and will drop by ASAP for urgent matters.

5 STARs plus - meowtel rating 4 is incorrect!! ☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆ Gabrielle was amazing and so thankful to have had her as our overnight /morning kitty sitter. Communicative, thoughtful trustworthy and sincere! Thurston is a picky kitty and warmed to her quickly and befriended her to his play time, his head bumps and sink water time too. he had long days without anyone and Gabrielle made that human love play time up ten folds in evenings and mornings. I would highly recommend Gabrielle for all your kitty needs. 😺 her attention to detail and asking when unclear was helpful as was her consideration when it was the last day of 7- tossing garbage and straightening up. Thurston would have Gabrielle as an important human to his care again 100%

Gabi was so good with our weird little gremlins and all of their quirks. She’s a wonderful, attentive pet sitter - she even won over our super skittish cat who NEVER makes an appearance for strangers :)

Gabrielle is a very sweet and thoughtful cat sitter. She’s communicative, considerate, and caring. She also brings a wealth of experience that gives a lot of piece of mind, including the fact that she is a pre-med student at school, a volunteer vet at my local nonprofit clinic, and a cat owner herself (two adorable kitties). She’s regularly on-time, and she always sends photos and videos! She also has sent things of concerns that she sees if anything pops up, such as when my cat started eating really fast right before I had to leave them with her. She brought over lick mats and they’ve helped a ton. Anyways, overall super thoughtful and would highly recommend her!

Frequently Asked Questions

Chicago cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
