I'm Wade
Cat Sitting in Franklin Park, IL
I have been using different pet care/house sitting websites and apps since 2016 and have had great success with many repeat clients coming back to obtain my services. A majority of those clients have also referred me to their close friends and family members because they know, without a doubt, that their pets will be safe, comfortable, and well taken care of with me in their own homes where they are most familiar and able to thrive!

I really appreciate Wade so so much. this time, I had Wade spent 2 nights with my kitties as one of them needs special support. this was the first time I could replace and enjoy my trip without anxiety worried about my baby Lulu. Instead, I got to enjoy my trip without worries. thank you Wade!

He arrived within the time we decided. Cats warmed up to him quickly, and he took lots of pictures and was great about communicating. I would definitely recommend him, and I will be requesting his services in the future.

Wade was an amazing catsitter! He followed all instructions carefully, sent regular picture updates that gave me peace of mind. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for kitty — and even noticed that he had kindly loaded dishes into the dishwasher! Truly went above and beyond. I highly recommend Wade and would gladly book him again!

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.
Franklin Park cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!

The shy kitty Charmer indeed! I have been using Wade for my businessstravel trips for several months now. my baby girl kitty does not like strangers at all and I thought she would never warm up to him! but this time! Wade was able to grab her and clean her face (she needs this every day) and the fact that she let him home him is just huge!!!! thanks Wade so much!

This was our first time having Wade as our cat sitter. We booked him for two overnights. He was absolutely fantastic! When we met him for the initial meet and greet, he immediately made us comfortable. Our cats had a great time! He gave regular updates and provided great photos. He took care of everything that he needed to. We will definitely using Wade as our cat sitter!

Wade was so lovely! He was extremely responsive, asked great questions, and my two girls loved him! This was my first time away from my fur babies and he did a great job easing anxiety by sending great updates and photos. He sent many photos and updates and also ensured their litterboxes were clean. I will definitely have Wade on speed dial, and he will be the first person I reach out to when I need assistance with my cats.

I just want to say thank you to Wade for taking care of my two cats. Lulu and Bubba Lulu was quite afraid of him but by the second day she started to warm up a little bit so I do see in the future that they will be best friends, but yeah, he took such good care of my cats.

I contacted Wade the day before I was to start my 2wk work travel after my friend had a emergency could no longer watch my baby. There are three points I want to mention as people are evaluating their options. First, Wade was incredibly responsive (less than an hour) and understanding. He really worked with me to do the meet and greet (a requirement) to make sure he understood Charlie's (my lil baby) routine. This level of flexibility helped eased my anxiety over finding someone to watch Charlie and I was able to leave without any worries. Above all, this is what I most appreciated about Wade. Second, he followed instructions. I'm a direct and concise person. I tend to get annoyed when people don't follow instructions — especially when I was clear, concise, and detailed. On the first meet and greet, I knew this wouldn't be an issue with Wade because of the type of questions he was asking (including points I had not considered). Everything was great: the litter box was cleaned, food portioned correctly, water was fresh, and that Charlie got enough playtime. Charlie is already an incredibly friendly and affectionate cat, so I didn't anticipate him having issues and he clearly took a liking to Wade. Finally, I appreciate the updates and pictures. He always texted to let me know that he was on the way — which I appreciated because it meant that I needed to be available in case he ran into any issues. For example, he noticed that Charlie didn't greet him at the door (he always does this) and he reached out to me about. Unfortunately, I missed the text because of a meeting, but he was able to locate charlie (he accidentally got in my room — which he is typically not allowed in when I'm away). Also, the pictures! I wish I could post the pictures he sent me but I loved that all and happy to see that charlie didn't appear anxious. My work travel is done, but I now know I have resource to check in on Charlie. I will definitely use him again in the very near future (some more travel coming up). I highly recommend Wade to anyone seeking out the perfect cat sitter. I wasn't disappointed and I'm confident you won't be either.

Reservation was smooth and simple. Wade asked me the questions that I had a hoped he would have asked me about my cats. He seems very knowledgeable about cat behavior. I will definitely ask Wade to look after my cats the next time I need a sitter.

Everything with the reservation was flawless. Wade is really good with communicating, sending clear pictures and updates. It helps that the kitties like him which reduces their stress and separation anxiety.
