Cat Sitters in Chicago

Your cat stays in their own home, with their own routine

Chicago cats stay in two-flats, high-rises, and brownstones across the city, environments they know intimately and would be deeply stressed leaving. Cat sitting drop-in visits on Petme connect you with verified Chicago sitters who come to your apartment, so your cat keeps their own litter, their own window perch, and their own routine while you are away. No carrier rides, no boarding facility, no strange smells.

Petme charges Chicago cat owners 0% commission. The per-visit rate you agree with the sitter is the full price. Every booking includes up to $20,000 in vet protection, useful coverage if your cat ever needs MedVet Chicago or VCA Berwyn during a trip. Cashback is credited automatically after every visit.
