I'm Alex
Cat Sitting in Chapel Hill, NC
I have two rescue kitties of my own who I adore (and even have tattooed on my dancing together under a disco ball) and I know how important it is to want top care for them whenever I am out of town. I would love to repay that forward and help out other cat parents who need care if they are away so they can have peace of mind.
I have had cats my whole life, v... Hey there! I’m Alex and I just moved back to NC after finishing up my PhD and looking to get involved with everything cats!
I have two rescue kitties of my own who I adore (and even have tattooed on my dancing together under a disco ball) and I know how important it is to want top care for them whenever I am out of town. I would love to repay that forward and help out other cat parents who need care if they are away so they can have peace of mind.
I have had cats my whole life, volunteered with cats off and on - both at shelters and supporting community cats, and pet sat for years.
My cat sitting style has always been to follow the lead of the real leaders (the cats) - meeting them where they are and always respecting their boundaries. Any wants/needs/requests I am game to do - sending updates, pictures, videos, etc! I am a very flexible person so would want to make each experience and sitting opportunity what works best for you the owner and your cat(s)!
Learn More About Alex
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have done cat sitting off and on for around 10 years - mostly for family, friends, and referrals from family or friends! I have enjoyed these experiences and would love to provide services as I embark on a new city!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two rescue kitties of my own - Scully and Pooka! I even have them tattooed on me :)
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I always aim to have a calm energy around cats, as they really do pick up on the energy of the people around them! I always let the cat lead and never push their boundaries - so maybe I just talk sweet to them or pull out some treats etc! Whatever the owner suggests!

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!

Alex is an excellent cat sitter! I have never met anyone who loves and cares for cats the way Alex does. Alex is friendly, courteous, timely, professional, and trustworthy. I highly recommend them as a cat sitter for your furry loved one!

Alex is an exceptional cat sitter whose professionalism and genuine love for cats shine through in every visit. She took the time to get to know my three cats’ individual personalities and routines, ensuring their needs were met with care and attention to detail. With two elderly cats and one kitten, I needed an expert sitter! I especially appreciated the daily photos and updates, which gave me peace of mind and let me see how happy and comfortable they were in my absence. Her reliability, thoughtful communication, and clear affection for animals make her a terrific choice for anyone seeking top-notch care for their feline companions.
