A Loving Kat For Your Lovely Cats

I'm Kat

Cat Sitting in Mount Prospect, IL

Hi, I’m Kat! (Perfect name for a cat lover, right? 😸)

I’m a lifelong cat lover, experienced cat foster-er, knowledgeable cat caregiver, and all around cat whisperer who is excited to take care of your furry friends!

I have loved and taken care of cats all my life. In fact, there have only been a few months of my life that I haven’t had a cat of my own! I’ve cared for cats of all ages, sizes, needs, and personalities.

Most recently, I single handedly fostered 3 kittens for about 7 months and personally took care of all of their needs and appointments, including administering medications and eye ointment. They were a handful, but they grew up to be such healthy, well-behaved boys and are now in their forever homes. I have fostered cats on and off for years because it’s so rewarding!

I genuinely love cats and feel like we are on the same wavelength...
Hi, I’m Kat! (Perfect name for a cat lover, right? 😸)

I’m a lifelong cat lover, experienced cat foster-er, knowledgeable cat caregiver, and all around cat whisperer who is excited to take care of your furry friends!

I have loved and taken care of cats all my life. In fact, there have only been a few months of my life that I haven’t had a cat of my own! I’ve cared for cats of all ages, sizes, needs, and personalities.

Most recently, I single handedly fostered 3 kittens for about 7 months and personally took care of all of their needs and appointments, including administering medications and eye ointment. They were a handful, but they grew up to be such healthy, well-behaved boys and are now in their forever homes. I have fostered cats on and off for years because it’s so rewarding!

I genuinely love cats and feel like we are on the same wavelength. I get along well with them and feel like I am able to understand and communicate with them on their level, even those “spicy” kitties. I believe I owe that to my vast experience with cats as well as my knowledge and expertise. I love learning about cats and educating myself on how to best interact with and care for them. And as cat owners know, a cat’s behavior is so telling about how they’re feeling, so I’ll keep a close eye on your kitty cat for any unusual behaviors, comfort them if they are anxious, and make sure their environment stays safe!

I am patient and kind with all critters, and I know some animals, especially some cats, need more of that than others. My last cat was a little orange firecracker that had a bit of a biting problem when we fostered him, but I learned more about his behavior (thank you, Jackson Galaxy!) and was able to take care of it properly with love and patience. I ended up adopting him myself and he turned into such a sweetie!

I also know first hand the anxiety that you yourself might have when having to leave your little buddy behind when you travel. I know exactly what it’s like and I’m here to offer you some peace of mind. If you need a dozen pictures a day to feel at ease about it, I feel you - and I got you!

I’m super excited to meet your pet! And rest assured, your kitty will be in gentle, caring hands with this Kat!

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.

We couldn’t be happier with Kat. She was so amazing with our little troublemaker. Gave us great daily updates and pics. We were completely at ease while we were away with Kat watching our kitty. I HIGHLY recommend her.

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

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!
