Cat Sitting in Boone, NC

Hey y'all!

My name is Shannon, I'm a recent NC State graduate with a degree in Animal Sciences at NC State but I'm originally from Tampa, Florida. I just moved to Boone for Grad school and am excited to explore the area! I rescued my cat Ted 5 years ago which was the best decision I ever made! He is the best little buddy who loves to cuddle, play fetch with toy mice, and bird watch.

Even before I had had my own, I have always had a deep love for cats...
Hey y'all!

My name is Shannon, I'm a recent NC State graduate with a degree in Animal Sciences at NC State but I'm originally from Tampa, Florida. I just moved to Boone for Grad school and am excited to explore the area! I rescued my cat Ted 5 years ago which was the best decision I ever made! He is the best little buddy who loves to cuddle, play fetch with toy mice, and bird watch.

Even before I had had my own, I have always had a deep love for cats. I worked as a vet assistant for 4 years which has given me the chance to work with all different types of cats, from old to young, friendly to grumpy, I have handled it all! Due to my vet tech history I am very comfortable with giving medications (oral, injections, or topical treatments) or any other special needs your cat may have. I've been a pet sitter for around 8 years and I'm currently also walking dogs as a side job. I'm truly just a huge animal lover and have an extra big soft spot for cats.

I'm located right near App State campus and am able to service Boone and surrounding areas. If you are outside my service area feel free to still reach out, depending on the distance I may be able make it work!

I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your furry friends!

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat sitting since I was around 12 for my neighbors!! As I got older I branched out to doing more and more sittings and have been a Meowtel cat sitter since 2021! I have worked with all types of cats with a variety of different needs and have loved every second of it!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Seeing your cats personality come out with each visit!! Every cat is so different and I love seeing what makes each cat special. It is so rewarding when a shy kitty warms up to me and I get to see their playful or cuddly side!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a 4 year old cat named Ted!! I rescued him as a kitten and he has been my best pal since! He loves to play fetch with toy mice, bird watch out the windows, and cuddle!!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I always try to give anxious or shy cats lots of space and allow them to approach me!! I will often times sit on the floor near by making sure not to make them feel trapped. Over time they will often slowly approach and to sniff and I sit very still allowing the time to approach at their own pace.

Shannon looked after my 3 kitties while I was traveling for business. She visited 4 times during my trip and sent me an update with photos every day. This was not a "hey everything is fine" kind of update! This was a detailed description of what she did, how each kitty was behaving, and how they were interacting with her which honestly was the bast part. There is HUGE peace of mind when you see pictures of happy and playful kitties that normally are very suspicious of strangers. I do have one kitty in particular that is very "I am outta here!" when it comes to strangers. Shannon made a special effort to see him every visit. This was in a thoughtful way, giving him space but checking to make sure he was ok. I even had a message from Shannon wanting to see if his somewhat soulful meowing was normal which it was. I am so pleased with Shannon! She is dependable, courteous and thoughtful. I absolutely plan on using her again in the future. Shannon has exceeded my expectations for a pet sitter!

this review is long overdue. Shannon is amazing. she helped me out in a pinch after my elderly cat was diagnosed with diabetes. my husband and I had a trip already booked and Shannon agreed to help us even though we were just outside of her service area. she is very kind and knowledgeable. having a cat with medical issues was a brand new thing to me and she made me feel so great about all of it and how she would have no issues since it was new to all of us, including our cat. we've since used her more and it's the same wonderful care, communication and consideration. thank you Shannon!

Shannon is absolutely amazing! We have two cats that can be a bit difficult and she handled them with grace and ease. She was even able to get my 13 year old to take medication and she got my 2 year old to come out from under the bed! The updates were great, she did everything we asked, and her communication was on point! She is also super pleasant, which helps :) I will be hiring her again and for as long as she continues to be a kitty sitter!

Phenomenal sitter. She provided daily pics of our girl and was responsive when we communicated. She also went above and beyond when we had a minor home issue. We will use her any time we're out of town.

Shannon was terrific with my girl, very attentive, played and snuggled according to what Cleo wanted, and I came home to a calm and happy cat. She went above and beyond to make this a good experience all around!

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.

Boone 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!
