Hi! I specialize in calm, gentle care for cats especially shy, anxious, or routine loving cats. I focus on keeping their environment quiet and stress free while you’re away.

During each visit, I provide fresh food and water, thorough litter box cleaning, and gentle interaction based on your cat’s comfort level never forcing attention.

I treat every home and cat with the same care I give my own. I also provide updates and photos after each visit so you can feel confident your cat is safe and cared for.

I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines you have to make sure your cat feels completely comfortable.

Learn More About Hajra

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is building quiet trust with each cat, respecting their boundaries, and watching them relax and feel safe in their own space.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I have two cats of my own named Harmony and Hope. Caring for them has taught me how important routine, patience, and respecting each cat’s unique personality truly are.

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

Look for a sitter who respects your cat’s routine, communicates clearly, and understands that patience and consistency are key to keeping cats comfortable and stress free.

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.

Skokie cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $32.00. 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!
