My cats really enjoy when Wade visits when I am out of town. They really enjoy his calm, playful demeanor. Wade has cared for my cats several times over the years and everything has been perfect every time.

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 have used Wade’s cat sitting services every time I’ve needed a cat sitter. I have no reason to look elsewhere, better than what I ever could have imagined.

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!

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.

Wade is the best! This is the second time he has cared for my cat while I was away for work and did a wonderful job sharing photos to help me from being homesick. Thank you for being so attentive and caring :)

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.

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.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Franklin Park cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
