Cat Sitting in Normal, IL

I understand that every cat has a different personality and comfort level, so I always take time to make them feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owner is away.
During visits, I can feed your cat, refresh water, clean litter boxes, play with them, give attention and cuddles if they enjoy it, and make sure they stay comfortable and happy. I’m also very respectful of your home and will provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
I pride myself on being responsible, communicative, and gentle with pets, and I’ll treat your cat like family.
Learn More About Kayla
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
What I enjoy most about cat sitting is getting to know each cat’s unique personality and making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I also enjoy playing with them, giving them attention, and helping owners feel relaxed knowing their pet is being cared for responsibly.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, I’m usually available during holidays and understand that many pet owners travel during those times. I’m happy to help make sure your cat stays comfortable, cared for, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll always communicate clearly about my availability in advance.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I handle timid or anxious cats with patience, gentleness, and respect for their space. I never force interaction and allow them to approach me at their own pace. I try to keep their routine consistent, speak calmly, and create a quiet, comfortable environment so they can slowly build trust and feel safe.

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.
Normal cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!
