I remember the first time I saw a kitten in front of my school when I was eight years old. It was meowing loud in the bushes and shivering in cold weather. I brought my whole community of family and friends to save it and get it a home that night. Since then, I have had about three cats, two orange-haired and one calico with spots. In every household I have visited, if there are cats, then the cat and I will bond. I love cats in books, movies, and in my life. I enjoy how therapeutic their purring can be after a long day.

When I check on my friends, I always ask them how their cats are doing, and they usually respond with a cute picture...

When I check on my friends, I always ask them how their cats are doing, and they usually respond with a cute picture. One time, I met a feline nutritionist at a pet store and found her job so cool that I thought about becoming one in the future.

I love hanging out with cats and working alongside them on my laptop in evenings and the weekends. I have a background in healthcare and now work in Corporate Finance. Traveling is my favorite thing of all time, and I would like to visit every country in my lifetime. The next country I like to visit is Sweden. I like to read and watch films with beautiful cinematography. And I am trying to get back into swimming. My friends are my world, and we love finding new experiences with food and culture.

I moved from Dallas, TX, to Chicago for my new job two years ago. I live in the west suburbs. I work in Downtown Chicago, and I can travel anywhere from Glen Ellyn to Downtown Chicago. My favorite areas to catsit are Arlington Heights, Buena Park, Edgewater, Elmhurst, Evanston, Forest Park, Glen Ellyn, Lake View, Highland Park, Logan Square, Lincoln Park, Melrose Park, North Halstead, Oak Park, River North, Rogers Park, Uptown, West Loop, Winnetka, and Wilmette. I love to explore new areas and then the beautiful countryside.

As someone with a long history of healthcare experience, I have administered pills, liquids, ear drops, and even insulin shots to cats. As a seasoned biometric screener, I can check your cat's glucose levels (via ear) before giving them the insulin shots. I am even Animal CPR certified. In college, I fostered kittens, kept them warm, fed them kitten formula through bottles, and used non-clumping litter for safety.

Learn More About Mohammad

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy how happy the cats are to see me at every visit, even if it's only during the feeding time.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats, Phoenix and Simba.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Feel free to reach out by casually messaging me and introducing yourself and your awesome kitties. In the beginning, I always ask if you can share three things: any dietary restrictions, medications and their use, and the behavior around new humans. If you have four or more cats, please choose a reservation for a minimum of 45 minutes. From experience, this allows feeding, cleaning, and playtime with all the cats, especially if they have special dietary needs, medications, or need to be separated or monitored when eating. If a cat needs to be monitored when eating, please time it along with all the tasks to determine visit times (20 minutes may not be enough). If your cat requires two insulin shots per day at a certain time with a twelve-hour period in between, I highly encourage overnight visits. Please ensure you have stocked up on all the supplies.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

- Introduction through the app - Meet and Greet (care, medications, diet, behavior, parking, security, safety, entry, mail, plants, trash)- any particular apps [registration], concierge, front desk guest list, codes, speed of putting codes for unlocking, other visitors during reservation, means of communication, drop-off key during last day. - Let the Reservation Begin

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

I always discuss with the cat's parents during our meet and greet if the cats try to escape through any routes in the house and what areas I should be cautious when moving around. In addition, I ask if there are any safety measures at the housing entrance, doors, and windows to feel confident that the cats will be safe when I am not visiting. Furthermore, we discuss whether there are any spaces in the house the cats are not allowed to enter. I will also ask about the cat's history and any incidents that may have occurred in the past, e.g., playing with a dangerous toy.

Are you usually available during holidays?

When I am available for a set holiday, I will have open availability on my calendar. If I am not available, my calendar will be closed.

Great communication and care. Our cat gets sad being apart after a few days and stops eating. We noticed that he skipped a few meals after about a week so we told Mohammad. In the past, he continued to skip meals until we came home. But with Mohammad, our cat ate every single meal after that day for the rest of our trip. Our cat was clearly in good hands with Mohammad which took a lot of stress off during our vacation.

Mohammad took care of our cats for a week, including giving our senior cat with renal problems his subcutaneous fluid injections every other day. Mohammad was responsive, great with the cats, flexible with our needs, and patient when the cats acted up. I was so worried about traveling and leaving my special-needs senior cat at home, but knowing Mohammad was there helped me relax and enjoy my vacation.

Mohammad was very diligent of taking care of my feline friend over the holidays, in a last second change of plans on my end. He checked in daily with updates on my pet, and followed instructions to the T. I’d love to use Mohammad again the next time I need to leave town for a few days. Thanks Mohammad!

This is the second time Mohammad has taken care of our two cats while we’ve been away for a week, and like last time, he followed our cat’s routine exactly as we requested and sent consistent and thorough updates.

Mohammad was absolutely wonderful to work with, and we couldn't be happier with the service and care he provided our trio! I appreciated he took notes, asked questions and confirmed things during the meet and greet. It was clear that he is thorough and detail-oriented, which is critical with multiple cats. His updates were so thorough and included photos of some specific, important things (which dish the cats got, placement, etc.). This was important given some dietary restrictions and thinga. We were truly impressed by his thoughtfulness and felt very comfortable (and relieved!) leaving our babies in his care. We highly recommend and will absolutely be working with him again.

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.

Glendale Heights 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!
