I'm Tatiana
Cat Sitting in Des Plaines, IL
I have many years of experience caring for cats... I've loved cats for as long as I can remember. I enjoy getting to know each cat's unique personality and helping them feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. Whether a cat is playful, curious, shy, or affectionate, l believe in respecting their individual needs and routines.
I have many years of experience caring for cats and understand the
importance of patience, consistency, and attention to detail. During visits, I focus on providing fresh food and water, maintaining a clean litter box, offering playtime or companionship when welcomed, and making sure each cat is happy.
My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and peace of mind for cat parents.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have over 25 years of personal experience caring for cats, having grown up with them my entire life. I am comfortable caring for cats of different ages, personalities, and needs, including administering medications when required. Since I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide reliable drop-in visits throughout the day. I can give your cat plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
What I enjoy most about cat sitting is getting to know each cat's unique personality. Some cats are playful and social, while others are quiet and independent, and I love earning their trust and helping them feel comfortable while their owners are away. It is very rewarding to see a shy cat come out of their shell or a nervous cat relax and feel safe.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
When I was a child, we had a beautiful white cat named Kitty. Later, we had a Maine Coon named Philya, who was gentle and full of personality. The most recent cat I had was a Bengal cat named Cute. Each of them was special in their own way and helped me develop a deep understanding of cats and their unique personalities.

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.
Des Plaines cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $34.00. 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!
