As a lifelong cat lover and experienced multi-cat household owner, caring for cats isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly enjoy. I currently share my home with cats of all ages and have previously had others, giving me hands-on experience with eight different feline personalities over the years. From playful kittens to senior cats, I understand that each cat is unique and deserves individualized attention and care.

I am very comfortable administering medications, including oral medications and topical treatments, and I understand how important consistency and patience are when caring for cats with medical needs. I’m also experienced with shy or anxious cats and know how to move at their pace, allowing them to feel safe and secure in their own environment. Building trust is always my priority.

As a multi-cat owner, I’m no stranger to litter box maintenance and understand the importance of keeping boxes clean and odor-free for both the cats and their families. I pay close attention to appetite, behavior, and litter box habits, and I will always communicate any concerns promptly.

Your cat’s comfort, safety, and routine are my top priorities. I treat every cat as if they were my own and aim to provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care while you’re away.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

In addition to being a teacher, I have been a local cat sitter for 15 years. This is my favorite way to spend my free time.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

All the personalities! Each cat is so unique and I love meeting each and every one of them. I’m a big fan of senior cats!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I was hired to care for a cat for a senior citizen living at home still, but needing some help. It was rewarding work for a few reasons.

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.

Libertyville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!
