Cat Sitting in Belmont, NC
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!

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 $27.00. 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!

Shannon is fabulous. She makes my cat feel comfortable. My cat was sitting on her lap and the cat does not sit on my lay! I love that she is very conscientious about everything. The mail, the lights in the house and most importantly my cat.

Shannon is fabulous. Lily is still getting used to her visiting but by end of the four days that Shannon visited Lily was playing back, a little. Shannon goes beyond the call of duty, it was very cold, while we were away, and she was concerned about the pipes freezing and the temperature in the house. I highly recommend Shannon. I know Lily is being looked after by someone that truly cares. I hope she can be Lily's sitter for years to come.

You can tell that Shannon is an animal and cat lover. I have a very shy cat and she took the time to give him attention and make sure his sister didn't eat his food. Shannon provided excellent service. We enjoyed the daily pictures a lot!

Shannon did a great job with my cat, Toast! She spent a lot of time with him even though he is very shy. She made sure he was comfortable and communicated with me how everything was going. Will definitely use Shannon again!

Shannon watched our little guy while we were away and did a fantastic job! He was so happy to see her based on the photos she sent and she was able to get him to take his meds everyday, which was most important to us. highly recommend!

I cannot say enough good things about Shannon. She is thoughtful and kind and will do anything for anyone. In addition to visiting Lily, she will check the mail and even watered my garden. I hope she will be available as long as Lily needs her.
Kimberly

Shannon is simply great. She gives updates on everything from how my kitty is to if she is running late. She goes beyond just playing with Lily, she brings in the mail, the trash can. She is very considerate, and I hope she can continue to be a part of Lily's life for a long time. Don't know what I would do without her.

Shannon is great. She is quick to respond, with changes or questions. I was concerned my cat was stressed but she reassured me Lily was good. Shannon is so greatly appreciated. she even brought in the mail, adjusts lights. Very thoughtful. So glad I found her.

Meowtel is a wonderful service. We have used Shannon many times in the short time we have had Lily. Lily is comfortable with Shannon. Shannon gives updates if running late and goes out of her way to make sure the cat is happy and my house is safe.
