Cat Sitting in Lombard, IL

I have been a kitty mom my whole adult life. I have worked in the veterinary field for over fifteen years and have a lot of experience with scared and nervous cats. I like to let the cats set the pace for our interactions. I talk to them and give toys and treats and allow them to meet me at their own pace. I love spoiling my cats and would love to do the same for yours.
My first cat was rescued as a kitten outside of the local high school on the coldest day of the year. All of my cats have been rescues, and they each have unique personalities. I currently have three rescued kitties, Guinevere, Errol, and Myrtle. I can't wait to meet your fur babies!

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

I have several friends and family members that I have been cat sitting for over the past ten years. Some need medicine, such as inhalers or pills. I enjoy spending time with their cats while they get to travel.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy making sure the kitties are comfortable and well cared for when their parent is not around. As a bonus, I get to make new feline friends.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I cat sit for a household with a sphinx and two other rescue kitties. The sphinx kitty gets so excited for food, play, and cuddles. I enjoy how happy and chatty he is as soon as I enter his home. I start our visit listening to his stories, then while he is eating, I search for his favorite toys that have become inaccessible to him. Then we have some play time and he insists on lots of snuggles. The other two kitties have also become close friends, coming out for play time and scritches. They are almost like a second cat family to me. I really enjoy my time with them, as well as providing their food, water, and special treats. I have been able to build trust and bond with all three kitties. It warms my heart to know that I have earned their trust.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three cats of my own. They are all rescues and are very spoiled. Their names are Guinevere, Errol, and Myrtle.

Linda did an excellent job taking care of our cat while we were out of town for 2 weeks. We received daily updates and photos. Our cat is very shy and he warmed up to her over time, like we were hoping he would. Would highly recommend!

Linda is a true cat lover. She worked hard with my shy cats to create a relationship and I was extremely grateful. Both cats became more curious about her and came so close to a higher level of interaction!

I appreciated knowing Linda was there for my cats. Not only for their food and litter needs but to pet, brush, and play with them as much (or little) as they wanted. She took pictures as well as notes so I could see how they were doing.

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.

Lombard 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!
