Linda's Purrfect Cat Sitting In Chicago

I'm Linda

Cat Sitting in Lincolnwood, IL

I love cats because I love their personalities and I connect with them very well. I love how they are independent and love doing things on their own, but they will come find you when they are ready to be loved or want to show you affection.

I have one cat of my own, named Gumball, whom I adopted in the autumn of 2020. It has been one of the best decisions I ever made as Gumball is such a bundle of joy to be around. I love that I am able to care for him with as much as love as he shared with me. Gumball was about 8 weeks old when I brought him home...

I have one cat of my own, named Gumball, whom I adopted in the autumn of 2020. It has been one of the best decisions I ever made as Gumball is such a bundle of joy to be around. I love that I am able to care for him with as much as love as he shared with me. Gumball was about 8 weeks old when I brought him home. He had fleas, broken nose, heartworm, ear mites, and a heart murmur. Although I had zero experience, I loved that I have been able to help Gumball be cured of all the issues he had and become the very healthy fur baby he is. I have never worked at a shelter but I have helped brought a few friendly stray kitties in the neighborhood to anti-cruelty animal shelters.

My primary occupation is an automation engineer but I would love to spend some free time on the week nights and weekends helping others to care for their cats. If your cat is in the Chicago area, I'd love to help out!

Linda is wonderful. She had great communication and sent multiple photos each day of our cat and water bowl, food level and clean litter box. We had a snow storm and Linda still came to our house. She even took in packages and cleaned snow off of our steps.

Linda is fantastic. This is her second time watching our Boni. Our cat is usually afraid and doesn’t come out when other people come in but she loves Linda so much she immediately comes out and plays and wants pets and love.

Linda did a great job watching our kitties when we had to take an unexpected trip at the end of November. She checked in on them every day, sent us adorable pics, and did a really good job of making sure they were fed and well cared for. She was also super nice and easy to work with. We would definitely recommend Linda - she's fantastic!

Meeting Linda was a breeze and I felt immediately at ease with her watching my fur babies. Both of my cats are quite shy. She was able to connect with them and provided photo updates. I'd be happy to have Linda be our cat sitter again.

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.

Lincolnwood cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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!
