I'm Leah
Cat Sitting in Chapel Hill, NC
I have traveled with my own cat, both via car and air travel, and it completely stresses her out. I just felt uncomfortable, leaving her behind, thinking she might not get the care and attention she deserved.
I am a perfectionist and do everything to my best ability and intend to learn not just your cats needs but preferences. I can never take your place, but I would like your kitten or cat to feel as safe and comfortable as possible.
Learn More About Leah
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Alice, Big Al. A rescue colony cat who was being beat up by the other males in his colony. He is now a happy indoor cat. Tiger Lily, Lily. She was fostered then I couldn’t let her go. The cat distribution system was definitely in effect.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, with the possible exception of Christmas, dependent upon location. My schedule is often flexible both during and outside of holidays.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Most cats are appropriately cautious of new people, especially if their person is not around. I don’t necessarily seek cats out unless I am concerned about them but rather wait for them to come to me, often at their level and allow them to smell me or my hands first. Gentle, quiet talking as well.

Leah was awesome! On top of food, water, and litter, she went out of her way to make sure our cat was well-loved. The photos and videos were thoughtful and gave us peace of mind that our anxious cat was doing well. This was my first time using Meowtel and Leah made it so easy! We will definitely book with her again.

Leah was very attentive of my furbabies, especially my cuddly cat Layla, and she made sure to provide a safe space for my reserved cat El Gato, who is weary of new people. She was very communicative, followed instructions, and my cats were well cared for. Would definetly book her again as out cat sitter. Thank you!

We had to leave our old, curmudgeonly kind of neurotic most sweet boy ever cat for 20 days. We were concerned. Leah was wonderful. She is always responsive and timely and just great communication, even when we were time zones away. Our guy gets some getting used to and has behavioral tics from a hard life before we adopted him. Leah respected that and rolled with it. And our guy came around to depend on and adore her. Leah is sensitive and empathetic and reliable. We, and our cat, look forward to using her amazing services in the future.

Leah loves and takes care of our cats like we do. She gives medication and cuddles. We were away for a long block of days again and asked her for an overnight visit. The cats loved it. We really appreciated it. She is extremely professional and great communicator.

Leah is amazing. in addition to being professional, she rolls with the moment. We have a new, needy addition that requires extra attention. The two cats need to be separated right now and she manages that while making both feel loved. Thanks Leah!

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.
Chapel Hill 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 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 Meet & Greet!
