Cat Sitting in Deerfield, IL

Hi, I’m Gabby!

Asking someone to take care of your kitty in your home is a big and important decision, and I couldn't be more excited that you're considering me as your cat sitter! I'm a cat person through and through. I've had cats my entire life and currently have 3: Frankie, Ramona, and Harold. They couldn't be more different from each other which makes home fun and interesting! When I'm not at home, most of my friends and family also have cats so I'm lucky to hangout with them, too...
Hi, I’m Gabby!

Asking someone to take care of your kitty in your home is a big and important decision, and I couldn't be more excited that you're considering me as your cat sitter! I'm a cat person through and through. I've had cats my entire life and currently have 3: Frankie, Ramona, and Harold. They couldn't be more different from each other which makes home fun and interesting! When I'm not at home, most of my friends and family also have cats so I'm lucky to hangout with them, too. I tend to befriend kitties quicker than most, which is a skill I’m very proud of 😊

I love and appreciate how every cat has their very own personality, and I interact with them as uniquely as they are so they feel comfortable. I also take routines, medications, sensitivities, and any other needs very seriously. I have experience giving medications including oral pills, eye/ear drops, ointments, and insulin injections. If your kitty requires medications, I'd love to talk about how to have the best experience for everyone. Cats are like any other member of the family, and I will care for yours like my own! I fully recognize I will be in your home, so please know that I will respect your space and follow all instructions you provide.

I’m happy to accommodate you and your cat(s) in any way I can. I am looking forward to a kitty hangout soon! 😻

Learn More About Gabby

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 3 kitties! Ramona is a chatty, independent, beautiful tortoiseshell lady who loves to burrow under blankets. Frankie, Ramona’s bonded, littermate, is a shy, very handsome and sweet gray stripped tabby who can’t go without nighttime snuggles. Harold is an energetic, outdoor loving (screened in catio only) orange tabby who enjoys booty pats. I can’t imagine them not being the center of our family!

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

Allowing someone to care for your cat(s) is an important decision, and your comfort is just as important as your kitty’s. Choose a cat sitter you feel comfortable with and trust. Meet your cat sitter and ask questions to get a better understanding of how they’ll care for your kitty. I hope that person is me 😊

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

I always talk with the cat parent to understand what will make them and the anxious kitty most comfortable. I never force interactions as I don’t want to cause additional stress. It might sound silly, but using a calming voice, I’ll talk to kitty and take time to see how they react. I might hold out my hand and say “Hi, Bean. I’m here to hangout with you for a bit. How are you doing? Do you want some pets?” From there, if kitty doesn’t want to hang, I’ll give them space. If they seem interested, I’ll follow their lead in how they want to interact. Every kitty will have a different approach!

Gabby was absolutely wonderful! For eighteen straight days, while I was on vacation in England, she faithfully visited my kitties, gave them love, playtime, brushings, scooped their litterboxes, and made sure they felt cared for and secure. With my shy kitty in particular, Gabby had the golden touch — other caretakers over the years never even got to see Mitzi, because Mitzi would hide, aa well as getting finicky about food. But with patience and gentle perseverance, Gabby won Mitzi’s trust to the point where Mitzi would eat her food AND let Gabby brush her! Gabby’s daily updates were wonderful, too — pictures and videos, along with cheery descriptions of how the kitties were doing. I have total confidence in Gabby. She’s a gem! I will definitely continue reaching out to her for cat care in the future.

This was my first time using Meowtel or any app to find a cat sitter so i was worried at first, but when Gabby came over and my kitty who hardly tolerates my presence took a liking to her i knew she was trustworthy. I had her visit twice while I was gone and both times I got a long update of how my kitties were doing on top of a ton of photos and videos that eased any worries. I came back today to a clean litter box, full food/water, and two very happy kitties. I highly recommend her and thank you so much again Gabby!!

The absolute best! She went above and beyond for my shy little orange tabby cat. She charmed him out of his shell and gave him lots of attention. She also provided consistent updates, videos, and photos while I was out of the country. Will definitely ask her to cat sit again!

Gabby took excellent care of my kitties while I was gone for two weeks. I have a very shy one, and he warmed up to Gabby very quickly; she really did a great job looking out for his comfort. She was kind enough to clean up when the cats managed to knock over their fountain! It was great receiving updates from Gabby, and I have some adorable pictures to add to my collection. Thanks so much!

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!
