Cat Sitting in Elk Grove Village, IL

I have owned cats for all my life and have yet to meet a cat that I don't like. I absolutely adore all the different purrsonalities each cat has and I want to be around cats as often as possible. I don't currently have my own cat.

I have owned cats for all my life and have yet to meet a cat that I don't like. I absolutely adore all the different purrsonalities each cat has and I want to be around cats as often as possible. I don't currently have my own cat.

When I do my cat visits, I will make sure to check food and water levels, wash empty food/ water bowls, and feed according to the schedule/ preference of the owner. Litter will be scooped daily once food and water is taken care of.

Any and all medicines will be administered according to the directions left for me.

I'm also willing to send picture updates as well as keep an open communication with the owner to ensure everything is going as it should.

If you're outside my range, still shoot me a message and we can make it work.

Learn More About Kat

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

I'll try not to change any routines so the cat has the peace of mind and stability that would have been there if the cat parent had been home. I'll also make sure to lock up and keep doors/ windows closed so any escape artists have no opportunities to slip out.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I don't typically spend holidays doing anything special and could happily accommodate any cat that needs a friend during the holidays.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The laser pointer, a very simple toy that creates much entertainment for both the cat and the human. Cats aren't the only animals that enjoy the laser pointer either, I've had dogs that also love that silly little dot!

They're not just an expert in pet sitting, but a true asset who brings dedication and exceptional problem-solving to every project.

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.

Elk Grove Village cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!
