I'm Shannon | Cat Sitting in Burlington, NC

Hi, I’m Shannon. I am a cat mom to three cats. I also foster kittens for Paws4ever, rescue organization in Mebane. I’ve done everything from bottle feeding kittens to helping a mother cat giving birth, to holding and being with my oldest cat in her last hours in my home. I am comfortable around cats and will give cats the choice of if they want to ...

Learn More About Shannon

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three kitties! Amelia - 7 year old black (named after Amelia Earhart) Ellie - 7 year old tuxedo (named after Ellie from UP) Winifred - 6 year old tabby (named for Winifred Sanderson)

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am usually available over the holidays. I am close enough to the family that I want to be with, that I don’t need to travel.

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

I certainly understand timid cats. Especially with strangers. Two of my three cats are very timid when other people come atound. Personally, when I enter a home I will say hello to the cat. Let them know I am there. From there I like to get around to the business at hand. Scooping poop, feeding, getting clean water, etc. When feeding, I try to make it obvious through audio cues. Shaking dry foot in container, clinking spoon side of dish or can with wet food. After that, I will sit and wait. Not too close to the food but in sight of the cat. I will sit for a while. Wait and see if any cats will come see me, if any of them want attention. If no one comes, it’s ok. I will look in possible hiding spots to make sure I try to see all cats.

Shannon was great at taking care of my kitten! She sent photos of my kitten and made sure that my kitten had everything that she needed. She went above and beyond for my kitten.

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Burlington cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $23.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
