Samantha was a terrific cat sitter for our two cats, Abby and Theo. It was clear from her updates that she truly cared for them and took the time to make them feel comfortable and happy. She was good about sending photos of them, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. she also had trouble with our new garage door opener, but persevered and handled the hiccup without drama. She followed all of our specific instructions, from their feeding schedules to the little quirks they have. It was a relief knowing they were in such capable and caring hands. We came home to two very relaxed and content cats. We will be rebooking with her for any future trips!

Sam was wonderful with our kittens. She was very responsive and took great care of them. it was our first time leaving them, and we were relieved to leave them in good hands. Seeing pictures of our kitties playing reassured us they were happy and well cared for. would recommend and use Sam again!

I am new to meowtel and Samantha made it so easy. We communicated multiple times and had a meet and greet. She took great care of my senior kitties and had successful tricks to get Charles to take his medicine. I will be using Samantha again soon.

I selected this sitter because my other sitter was unavailable but will not use again. The meet & greet went well although my 2 Siamese cats did not come out to meet her as they have with other sitters. Seems like she did the bare minimum on her (3) 20 min visits. She did not replenish the water in their water fountain, did not clean their wet food bowl between feedings & only provided 2 pic’s & barely wrote up anything after her visit.

Samantha did a great job with the cats; they are happy and content. She also took the time to upright the patio plant pots that tipped over in our recent storms. Thanks Samantha!

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.
North Aurora cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!

Samantha was an excellent sitter! She was friendly and kind, and was very sweet with our not-very-sociable cat. We had a great meet & greet, and she took care of our fussy cat's needs perfectly. She also happily accommodated a change in our schedule. We'll definitely have Samantha back for our next trip!

Awesome and fantastic! All of the other reviews are absolutely true. Had timely updates about the furry friends questions if they came up. And she is very proactive as well! Cannot recommend her highly enough. Will definitely be a repeat customer.
