I have grown up and lived most of my life around my own pets or other people's pets, always being the most trustworthy and responsible friend or family member who is called upon, without hesitation, to help out with pet and/or house sitting duties while they are away. Even before I started doing this as a job, I have proven time and time again to be a very trustworthy, responsible, attentive, affectionate, and the most patient caregiver to all animals that I have been entrusted with to look after.

I have been using different pet care/house sitting websites and apps since 2016 and have had great success with many repeat clients. 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 well taken care of with me in their own homes where they feel the most familiar, safe, and comfortable, and are able to thrive!

Wade was the perfect cat sitter! This was our first time booking with Wade, and he made the process easy and stress free. I was worried about leaving our two rescue cats for a week and a half - they can be high anxiety when changes occur. But they seemed to warm up to Wade quickly, and he was sending update pictures of them playing and relaxing in their usual favorite spots. Updates were thorough and regular, and he responded quickly to questions. He asked clarifying questions when instructions were unclear. He understood how to handle our previously stray/skittish cat - the last cat sitter we used seemed to make her anxious, and she wouldn't come out from hiding when the sitter was visiting. We'll be booking with Wade again!

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!

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.

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 $28.00. 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!
