I also take pride in providing dependable, compassionate care tailored to each kitty's unique personality.

Whether you need someone to check on your furry friend or just keep your fur baby company, I'm here to provide lots of love, play, and petting. I know how important your feline friend is to you as well as how important it is to feel at ease while you're away, and I’m here to make sure your cat feels safe, loved, and happy until you return.

So, get ready to receive daily hilariously cute pet pics and return to a home just as clean and inviting!

Learn More About Carla

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy the most is all of the smiles, fun, and laughter that comes from playing with and watching cats be silly and playful.

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

I like to schedule a virtual meet and greet to have a conversation with the cat parent first to ask questions, get to know the cat, and the needs of the pet parent more.

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

I like to take things slow and let the cat come to me. I make sure not to make any sudden movements so I don’t startle them. I also like to sit low when around them so that I’m closer to their level and they don’t perceive me as a threat. I give them the slow blink to communicate trust, comfort, and peace. Giving them treats also helps them to associate me with good things.

I had to leave home for a month and was very anxious about leaving my 2 cats. But thankfully, Carla is the best! She was so responsive and sent updates each visit while I was away. I came home to my cats all well and the sweetest welcome home gift. Highly recommend, and would book Carla again if needed!

More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.

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!
