What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve always grew up with cats and a lot of my friends and family have cats so I am very familiar with behaviors and needs for cats!
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love getting to know each cats own personalities! And see how they interact with different things which I find very interesting. I also like to see which kinds of cats have similar personalities!

Brenda was the perfect sitter for my extremely shy cat, she was very patient and sweet! When I arrived home after my trip I could tell my cat was well cared for and much happier than she has been in the past when left alone. Brenda also went above and beyond and kept my apartment in great condition while I was gone (vaccummed up spilled litter and even watered my plant). Highly reccomend!

Brenda was so great with my kitties! One of them needed a medication, and she made sure he was comfortable and she sent me updates about how he was doing. She also made sure to play with them and give them treats. I would definitely have Brenda watch my kitties again!

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.
Elmhurst cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!

She is very attentive and caring towards animals. She is very good at following instructions, when unsure she asks again and if she doesn’t get a hold of me she always decides the best decision when it comes to my cats care. She likes to play with them and is very affectionate.

Brenda is a great cat sitter when it comes to caring for my cat Oliver I always contact her when me and my family will be away for long periods of time on vacation and such. She is very friendly and trustworthy towards me and my cat. And goes above and beyond to follow tasks!
