Shannon's Purrfect Cat Sitting

I'm Shannon

Cat Sitting in Belmont, NC

I am a lover of all animals. I currently have a dog and a horse. I recently lost my cat and while I'm not ready to bring another into the home, I thought this would be a good way to be around kitties and help someone at the same time. My last 2 cats were both neighborhood ferals. One needed medical attention and I knew that my job was to bring him home and give him the best life that he could have in whatever time he had left. My 2nd was a feral in our neighborhood for years... I am a lover of all animals. I currently have a dog and a horse. I recently lost my cat and while I'm not ready to bring another into the home, I thought this would be a good way to be around kitties and help someone at the same time. My last 2 cats were both neighborhood ferals. One needed medical attention and I knew that my job was to bring him home and give him the best life that he could have in whatever time he had left. My 2nd was a feral in our neighborhood for years. One day she just came in the dog door and became the most loving sweetest cat I've ever had. And she just loved her dog sibling.
I have also volunteered and fostered at animal shelters and rescues. I currently volunteer to transport injured wildlife to the Carolina wildlife conservation center when needed.
I do have a full time job between 7am and 4pm.
I would love to cat sit in the Belmont/Gastonia area or within a 20 minute driving range due to my primary job. ***Please message me to make sure I am available in your area before reserving. The availability map is not quite accurate as far as travel times***

I have a very skittish cat who I was worried would hide and refuse to eat for a cat sitter. Shannon went above and beyond to gain my shy cat’s trust to the point where he was asking her for pets! Shannon was super communicative and kept me updated. I will def be hiring her again!

Shannon was amazing with our shy gal - she took the time to get her out of her hiding place to give her some pets and treats. She sent adorable photos along the way and we would absolutely ask her to come check on our gal next time we’re away.

To start, this was my first time ever using an in-home pet sitter that I do not know personally. That being said, I am completely blown away at the communication, the care and the affordability! Meowtel to my understanding does not only serve the area that I live in, but the amazing Caretaker, Shannon, that we relied upon to went ABOVE & BEYOND to make sure that our 3 cats were very well taken care of. She even managed to make friends with one of our most skittish cats!-Mr. Hobbes! And that for sure says a lot!!! I absolutely recommend this company and more directly Shannon!

Shannon did an amazing job taking care of my cats! She sent daily pictures, updated me on how each cat was doing, and just went above and beyond for us. I could tell she’s a real animal lover and enjoys taking care of kitties. Would 100% recommend her services to anyone.

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.

Belmont cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
