Learn More About Sandrine
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I used to have 3 kitties but all 3 have now passed away. I had 2 black male kitties named Cougar and Sugar and a female gray tabby named buttons. I miss having cats but can not have any for now because one of my dogs would not handle it very well. So cat sitting would allow me to be around kitties more.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, I am available quite a lot during the holidays because I do have 4 dogs currently and I do not travel during the holidays. There is something satisfying in being able to bring peace of mind to owners that their fur baby will be safe and well taken care. Personally, I feel like leaving my pets behind is always very stressful for me and my family, and holidays are also stressful sometimes so I feel like having someone who will take good care of my animals is always a considerable and comforting benefit. I hope I can provide this to cat owners.
What is your favorite cat toy?
I really enjoy playing with the cat fishing pole toy because it is a good environmental enrichment toy for most kitties.

Sandrine was amazing with my furry baby, Blossom! This was the first time I’d ever used a sitter or traveled without my cat, so I was naturally nervous. I knew Sandrine was the right choice during the initial home visit; Blossom usually hides from strangers, but she stayed out the entire time. Sandrine visited 6 times over a long weekend, providing wonderful photo updates after every visit. Blossom isn't always the friendliest, but she clearly loved Sandrine—she even purred while being pet! I can’t recommend Sandrine enough for her patience and reliability. Highly recommended for any nervous pet parent! I will definitely have her petsit my cat in future travels.

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.
Schaumburg 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!

Sandy is great! She has plenty of experience caring for animals and you can tell that she truly loves what she does. She is awesome with my 2 cats and was incredibly helpful in administering fluids when my last cat got sick. She is kind, thorough, and efficient in her work. I trust Sandy wholeheartedly!
