Cat Sitting in Chapel Hill, NC

I have always had pets growing up as a child. My love for animals continued into adulthood. I truly believe a home is not a home without a furry little friend to come home to every day! I have volunteered at various pet shelters in the past. I currently work in pediatric occupational therapy and have a pretty flexible schedule! I have one cat right now, a Siamese/domestic shorthair breed named Simber, we call him Simby for short! He has the most fun, loving, and unique person... I have always had pets growing up as a child. My love for animals continued into adulthood. I truly believe a home is not a home without a furry little friend to come home to every day! I have volunteered at various pet shelters in the past. I currently work in pediatric occupational therapy and have a pretty flexible schedule! I have one cat right now, a Siamese/domestic shorthair breed named Simber, we call him Simby for short! He has the most fun, loving, and unique personality I have ever seen! I come home every day to all my cabinets open! He's clever for sure. My pet sitting experience comes from taking care of my own animals as well as pet sitting for friends and family members when they need. I live in Chapel Hill, NC and pet sit in parts of Raleigh, Durham, Hillsborough and Chapel Hill areas. I look forward to connecting with you!

If you do not see the availability you need, please send me a message, I may be able to accommodate it!

Recently took a trip outside the US and wanted my kitty to be un-stressed and attended to while I was away. From the moment Dana walked in, Dash responded to her. I was sold. While away, Dana sent a text for each visit with pix of my Dashie-Boi playing with his face toys and having his meals! I could not ask for better peace-of-mind. Trust me when I tell ya, I'll be calling Dana the next time I need to leave my kitty home alone.

Dana was absolutely amazing! When we had a last minute cancellation with our other sitter, Dana graciously accepted the call to action! She was prompt and managed to get our shy kitty to come out to play for a little bit. Will definitely continue to book with Dana to watch our fur-baby!

Dana is a fantastic sitter. I was so worried about leaving my 18+ year old kitty for 2 weeks that I was in tears on the way to the airport. She had not been doing well when I left on even short trips with friends caring for my 3 cats. However this time, it was clear that she adjusted much better. She attended to what each kitty needed each visit. Dana made my little old lady feel cared for and entertained my more energetic kitties. We had consistent reports anf photos on their care and well-being so we didn't have to worry. They are all very happy to see us, but I know having her here made a big difference. Thank you, Dana! Sophie says Mrow!

Dana was a great cat sitter, I definitely recommend her! It was a relief knowing our kitties were in good hands while we were out of town for the holidays. She sent updates and pictures with every visit. We especially loved those update photos and seeing our shy cats warming up to her.

Dana took really good care of our kitty, MooMoo, while we were away on an extended (8 days) vacation. When we got back, we could tell the 45 minutes of attention MooMoo received from Dana every day helped MooMoo cope with our absence - MooMoo missed us, but she doesn't seem as anxious. We will definitely give Dana a call anytime we need a kitty sitter! We highly recommend Dana!

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!
