I’m Christine, mom to two, sweet rescue calico girls (12yo & 3yo), and I bring over 20 years of experience as a cat owner. I was a pet sitter for several years, took a break to raise my kids (now teens), and now I’m looking to get back into petsitting. I am reliable, organized, punctual, and a great communicator. I do have a FT job so I’m looking to sit mainly evenings and weekends. Also experienced with dogs and am comfortable with mixed species households as well. Whether you need someone for a day or a weekend, I’m interested! I look forward to meeting you and your furbaby(ies) soon! :-)

Learn More About Christine

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I truly believe pets are most comfortable in their own home which is why I love Meowtel’s philosophy. Cats have such unique personalities and it is fun to watch them grow and learn what makes them happy.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I usually stay in the Chicagoland area for the holidays and am available for cat sitting. Whether you need a day or a weekend, I’m your sitter!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I think patience is the key. Learning as much as possible about the kitty is super helpful as is maintaining a calm and consistent environment.

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.

Lake Zurich cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $36.00. 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!
