Learn More About Charles

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

I have been cat sitting professionally for over 3 years now. Before that I was always the goto cat person for family and friends. From caring for 10 cats for a weekend to fostering senior cats and onto caring for cats while an owner was going through chemo. I adore cats and have a soft spot for those kitties who have lost a love one.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Being able to makena difference in someone's life. Knowing someone is relaxed on vacation because they know I am looking after their kitty is very satisfying.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I like to make a difference in a cats life. So the shy, scared kitty who comes out of their shell is very meaningful to me.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have 2 cats. Ginger and Tater Tot. Ginger is a 9 year old Ginger girl and is the queen of the house. She tolerates her little brother and her two human kids. She spends most of her days lounging and napping but occasionally houses herself to chase her little bro. Tater tot is a traditional chunky goof. He is all about comfort and fun.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Find someone who you are comfortable with and who aligns with your idea of kitty care.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I like to have a meet and greet to not only meet the owner, discuss expectations and meet the kitties.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

After a thorough meeting with the parents, I get to know the kitties. I treat kitties one of my own family. I look for problems and try to head that off. If a big issue comes up I document and reach out to parents.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am around for most holidays

What is your favorite cat toy?

Laser pointer or feather on a stick

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

I am a firm believer of letting a new cat client come to me. When mom and dad are out of town it can be difficult for some kitties to trust a stranger. After cleaning up liters and refilling food and waters I like to sit and spend time with kitties. If they are not interested at first visit they are usually curious on second or sometime third.

We trust Charles to do the very best for our cats. He of course follows the feeding and care instruction but goes above and beyond to know our cats and play with them. He sends us updates and pictures of each cat and what the cat was up to upon arrival and how they behaved by the end.

Charles is the best cat caretaker! He really got to know my cat and what his desires and needs are, and he met every one of them. Charles is very attuned with cats, he "gets" them. He's also super responsive, punctual, and extremely understanding of my away-from-cat stress; he didn't complain about my detailed instructions and followed them exactly! Definitely the best! My cat loves him!

Charles was amazing. Our cat decided to hide from him for two days. During this time he ensured she was ok by checking food, water and litter box. He could tell she was around as these had been used. On the third day she finally came out and got lots of love from Charles. He also went above and beyond by helping out with some other unexpected issues. Thank you Charles!

Frequently Asked Questions

Chapel Hill cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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.
