Cat Sitting in Carrboro, NC

Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover and proud cat mom to Lucy and Callie. Lucy is shy, sensitive, and needs patience to feel safe, while Callie happily greets strangers at the door. Living with opposite personalities taught me every cat is unique, and good care starts with meeting them where they are.

Hi! I’m a lifelong cat lover and proud cat mom to Lucy and Callie. Lucy is shy, sensitive, and needs patience to feel safe, while Callie happily greets strangers at the door. Living with opposite personalities taught me every cat is unique, and good care starts with meeting them where they are.

During visits, I create a calm, safe environment. I move gently with shy cats and give space when needed, and I provide play and attention for social cats. I make sure the litterbox is clean. I send updates and photos so you feel reassured while you’re away.

Your cat’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority during visits.

I have experience administering topical and oral medications.

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

I’m new to this app but i’ve been cat sitting for friends and family for 4 years. My neighbors and I have a system with each other where we’ll cat sit for each other when someone is away.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

All cats are so different! I enjoy getting to know all cat’s unique personalities and quirks. Very rewarding when a shy cat gives you a stamp of a approval.

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

I have one of my own, Lucy. I will let them come to me first, if I can see them and I know they see me I’ll sit for a while, carefully and slowly extending my hand towards their direction. If your cat deems that our connection is 10 feet apart at all times, that’s what it will be. I put their boundaries first! (Exception if medication needs to be administered of course)

Maria was great!! My kitties loved her. She sent me pictures and videos of playing with my kitties. I felt I could trust her and that she would take good care of my fur babies.

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.

Carrboro cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!
