I'm Holland
Cat Sitting in Black Mountain, NC
I have 3 cats of my own and work full time as a cat caretaker for rescue cats. I have previously been a consistent cat sitter in the past, but since moving to the Asheville area a few years ago have not had the opportunity... Growing up, both of my parents were extremely active in animal rescue, which led to my gaining lots of knowledge and experience with animals of all sorts. However, once I got my first cat of my own at the age of 6, I’ve been especially obsessed with everything related to cats.
I have 3 cats of my own and work full time as a cat caretaker for rescue cats. I have previously been a consistent cat sitter in the past, but since moving to the Asheville area a few years ago have not had the opportunity.
I am currently a part time student at University of North Carolina Asheville going for my bachelor’s in environmental science. I love the outdoors and animals and plan to work in conservation post graduation.
When cat sitting, I always treat the cat parent and cat how I would want a cat sitter to take care of my kitties. It is most important for me to follow any directions or specifications exactly as given to me. Each owner knows their cat best and I am simply a caretaker while the owner is away. I always make sure to keep the client updated and informed with pictures and updates to assure everyone is happy and healthy.
I can’t wait to meet you and your cat!
Learn More About Holland
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love cats (obviously) and really enjoy getting to meet new kitties and learn their personalities! Every cat is unique and I love getting to know them and their quirks.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I currently have three cats of my own! My first is Kiwi, a beautiful bi-colored tabby who is currently 5 years old. My second is my handsome black cat, Carrot, who is about to turn 4 years old. My most recent is Corn, an adorable little brown tabby girl who just turned 1 year old.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I work with rescue cats that have often been surrendered or were once feral. They are often very shy and anxious cats at first and I always make sure to give them their space but also do my best to befriend them on their own terms. I typically will sit near the cat and speak softly so they can get used to my voice and scent. After a little while, I usually am able to reach out and let them touch my hand if they feel comfortable.

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.
Black Mountain 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 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!

Holland is absolutely amazing with cats! They are calm, comforting, and all cats flock to them! Holland is very patient with even the shyest of kitties and will have every cat loving them by the end of their stay. They are very experienced with cats of all temperaments and quirks. They would do an amazing job cat sitting. They even have plenty of experience in giving cats oral meds. Working in a cat cafe has given them so much experience with cats and people alike, you will be amazed at how great a cat sitter they are!

Holland is an amazing cat sitter and has watched my cat Chip countless times. She is reliable, always on time, and very friendly to me and my pets. Chip is sometimes nervous around new people, but she stayed calm and created ways to bond with him and get him to trust her. I would 100% recommend her to anyone who needs their pet watched.
