Learn More About Kat

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love experiencing each cat’s personality. They’re all so different and have their own quirks and traits. Plus brining peace of mind to pet owners means a lot to me. I will treat all kitties like my own, so you know they are in good hands with me!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Don’t be afraid to ask questions or set boundaries with your cat sitter! If it helps you feel better to get pictures of a clean litter box and filled food bowl every visit, please do not hesitate to ask for it. Or if there are certain rules for your cat, like not leaving a certain toy out after playtime (because you know they will just eat it!), please let them know. A good cat sitter will want to make you feel comfortable as much as your cat 🧡

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

In my experience being patient and calm is the best with anxious or timid cats. I actually used to work with bunnies and one thing I learned from them that I feel transfers to cats is to let them see you, to greet and acknowledge them, but don’t try to interact or touch them. Just say hi and go about my tasks as they watch. This teaches them that I’m not going to always be grabbing at them or messing with them and helps them feel safe. But overall, it's best to just take things slow and their pace. I’ll interact enough to for them to know they’re ok but not enough to freak them out. They usually come out eventually as long as I am calm and quieter around them. And when they do, it’s magical!

Kat is an exceptional cat sitter, and made the entire process super simple from start to finish. My wife and I were able to rest easy while we were out of the country, as we received very thoughtful updates every day (with multiple pictures)! When one of our cat's asthma started kicking back up for the season, Kat was quick to update us, and was even able to seamlessly pivot to administering his inhaler! We couldn't be happier, and find comfort in the fact we now have our "go to cat sitter" for our future travels!

Kat was absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend her enough! We have two cats who have medical needs and she handled it all with professionalism and care. Even our meet and greet went fantastic. Our boys are friendly but as soon as she walked in they both meowed and trotted down the hall to meet her. That was definitely a first for them. She sent us updates, photos, and videos, and asked questions when things came up. When we got back from our vacation, we noticed that our cats felt more themselves and not like we had been away for days. It was clear that Kat had kept their routines and so little changed for them that our vacation didn't effect them. And that is truly incredible. Cannot recommend enough and we will definitely be using Kat again in the future.

Kat took such wonder care of our cat Shadow. Her communication and cute photos she shared for each visit gave us a piece of mind that our kitty was in great hands. We will book Kat again and again for our cat sitting needs.

Kat did a great job. We felt very comfortable leaving Lizzie with her. We received pictures & communication each day. And she was very patient with a rather shy kitty. Thanks Kat

Kat is an excellent care giver and communicator. She took care of our elderly cat for six days and sent photos daily. Our kitty is very shy, but she sensed Kat was trustworthy right off the bat and stepped up to receive her much needed petting while we were away.

Kat took wonderful care of our cat while we were away for a long trip. She stayed at our place for overnight visits, which was perfect. She sent pictures and updates daily and we knew our cat was getting great care while we were far away. Thanks Kat!!!

Kat was great and took very good care of our kitties while we were gone. Besides feeding them and taking care of the litter she also played with them and took pictures to share. I would definitely use Kat again every time we need a kitty sitter.

Kat is truly a gem! She has a natural way with cats — patient, gentle, and incredibly attentive. My elderly tabby, who is usually wary of new people, absolutely adores her. Kat follows instructions perfectly, communicates clearly, and provides such genuine, loving care. I always feel completely at ease knowing my cat is in her hands. Highly recommend!

You would be hard pressed to find someone who is more caring and deeply connected to felines than Kat. She has a lifetime of experience owning, fostering, and caring for our furry friends. She has first had experience of the joys and challenges of cat ownership, and cares for all cats as if they were her own. She understands that each cat has a unique personality and genuinely enjoys interacting with them. She is my family's go-to cat sitter and I could not think of anyone else I would trust more to look after our family feline.

Frequently Asked Questions

Mount Prospect cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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.
