I'm Jamie | Cat Sitting in Lake Zurich, IL

Hi, I’m Jamie and I’ve been a cat owner for over 20 years. I have 2 cats, Cupcake and Frankie. I get along well with all the cats I’ve ever met and am well attuned to their energies.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

When I checked in on my friend’s cats. She has 5 cats and two of them are formal feral outdoor cats and very shy. She told me they wouldn’t come around but both eventually came out to see me and say “hi.” I felt proud that they felt comfortable enough around me to stay around me.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have had cats for nearly my whole life. My current two cats are Frankie, a gray boy, and Cupcake, a tortie girl. Cupcake just turned 14!

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

I try to make the cat comfortable in my presence and I realize that it may take time for the cat to adjust to me and become friendly. I am patient and take cues from the cats as far as their comfort level in my presence. I do not try to pet a cat unless the cat is calm in my presence and gives signals that they want that attention.

Jamie, was very attentive to Rosie and she sent me daily updates and photos. I was comfortable with her when I met her and hope to have her again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lake Zurich cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $35.00. 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.
