I'm Dawn
Cat Sitting in Asheville, NC
My professional background is in child care, where trustworthiness, responsibility, communication and attentive caregiving are essential. I worked with babies and children for decades and now that my own children are grown, I am ready to apply my caregiving skills to cat-sitting. I have worked for several families already, and now that I am moving away from child care I hope to be of service in this area much more often. I look forward to meeting you and your lovely cats!
Learn More About Dawn
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I enjoy everything about it! I have almost always had at least one cat in my life for my whole life and my love of them grows deeper every day. Aside from my kids, cats are my greatest passion and I want to serve them any way I can.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, I am typically available during the holidays. I tend to stay in town, and my children and I celebrate in a low-key manner at home for the most part.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I have gotten quite a bit of experience with anxious cats in the rescue I volunteer for, so I feel fairly confident in handling these situations. Cats seem to sense my patience and calm as well, so that helps. I worked for a client who had several cats and one of them always hid under the bed for visitors- I ended up befriending her after just a few visits!

Dawn is the only person I trust to watch our sweet kitties. She sends thoughtful updates every day and always goes the extra mile to make sure they feel loved and cared for while we're away. Knowing they're in such good hands gives us complete peace of mind (and that's saying a lot)! We couldn't recommend her more highly!

Dawn has watched over my cats multiple times throughout the years and has always done a stellar job. She gives them just as much attention and care as I would and always makes sure to send pictures and updates! I know I don't have to worry about them being fed properly or worry about the litter boxes because she does things the exact way I ask. Dawn loves my cats just as much as I do! I know they love and adore her as well! She is a wonderful and attentive sitter who will love and care for your kitties so you won't have to worry while you're out of town or on vacation.

Schedule Constraints
I have a part-time as a homemaker through Tea Kettle Homemaking, so my available hours would have to work around that. My cleans are usually midday, so I have time before and after to do drop-ins for cats!

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.
Asheville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
