I'm Diana
Cat Sitting in Charlotte, NC
I am a freelance writer who works from home, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I would be honored to care for your kitties as I can’t seem to get enough cat love in my life! Cats are such incredible creatures, highly intuitive and wonderfully mysterious... Hi, I’m Diana. I am a mature, responsible retired woman who has been a cat lover my entire life. I grew up in a home of animal lovers. We were always the first to say “we’ll help” or “we’ll take them” when animals were at risk. This attitude led me to a dramatic rescue of my current fur friend, Bramble. I found her trapped in a storage unit across from mine and then she hid away in the Uhaul truck which I was using to move here to NC. It was a long and crazy trip, but we are soooo happy together now and she has found a safe and loving home.
I am a freelance writer who works from home, so I have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I would be honored to care for your kitties as I can’t seem to get enough cat love in my life! Cats are such incredible creatures, highly intuitive and wonderfully mysterious. I love all the moments of caring for them, especially belly rubs and head butts and when they make pasta in my lap (which is Italian for making biscuits). I am peaceful around cats, even those who are shy and unsure of new people. I am patient and don’t expect them to love me off the bat, but I have never met one who didn’t come around at some point.
I have volunteered at cat cafes and rescue shelters and cat-sat for many friends and family members, so I have lots of experience with a wide variety of cats. (I wish we had cat cafes in the US!) I am comfortable administering oral and topical medications and would be amenable to learning any other details of special care that your cat might need. I have my own transportation and am extremely reliable. I would take this responsibility very seriously, as I hope other Meowtel carers would do with my own cat when I am away.
Besides spending time with many kitties, my other activities are writing (I just finished my first novel!), pottery, sewing (I make beautiful Elizabethan costumes), and bread baking. I speak French and Italian and have traveled to five continents. I was a theater director in NY for 21 years and recently completed an MA in England. I moved to NC to be close to my son though I also have a daughter in NY. I needed a change of scenery!

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been taking care of other cats in their homes for friends and family for over 20 years and am now expanding my reach through Meowtel. Many times I stayed overnight for a week or more, but now that I have my own cat again I can’t do that. I have also volunteered at rescue centers and cat cafes.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
At present I have a rescue kitten named Bramble but I am hoping to also get my older cat, Spooky, back to live with us. That will depend on whether they get along. Fingers crossed! Spooky lives with my son at the moment.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I think listening is the greatest skill to use in any new encounter. I listen closely to all instructions and take notes to make sure I will fulfill each requirement. I pay attention to the cat parent’s concerns as they know their fur babies best and will give me the clearest ideas of how to best care for them.

My reservation with Diana was my first experience with Meowtel. We met for a meet and greet and Diana was totally focused on Lolli and what her care needs would be. She took notes as we walked around and interacted immediately with my kitty. This brought me confidence that she would care for my highly active "wants to play", a little spoiled kitty. We connected again a few days prior and the day we left for vacation just to double check on all the things we discussed. Diana communicated with me each visit with videos and pictures, food and potty updates and She even took her on her daily stroller walks, which I know for some can be a bit much to ask, but Diana seemed to enjoy them along with Lolli. Diana's care and communication of Lollipop made my trip much less stressful. She took excellent care of her, and this was my first time leaving her, but she also got my mail and packages and rotated lights and keep my security system on. It was such a comfort to have such care of my "fluff puff" and of my home. I will use her again for sure.

Diana did an awesome job taking care of my shy kitty Olive while I was away. She did everything possible to reassure Olive, make her comfortable, and coax her to eat. Diana communicated often and took lots of pictures so I knew Olive was doing okay and that she had fresh food and water as well as a clean litter box. And importantly, Diana carefully followed all my instructions. Usually when I return from a trip, I get lots of meowed complaints, but not this time. So I'd consider that a glowing review straight from Olive! Diana is kind, compassionate, trustworthy, and a true cat lover so I would definitely use her services again to take care of my precious fur baby.

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.

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!

Diana is the most wonderful cat friend! She has won over my shy little kitties and has such a kind and gentle presence with them. They feel safe and secure with her, and I feel safe and secure too! Diana is a great communicator, reliable and asked all of the right questions. I look forward to having her visit my lil gals again soon. Thank you Diana!

Diana is a true cat lover. She has had cats as long as I’ve known her and for the time she spent in England at school she adopted the neighborhood stray. She has the kind of energy that cats enjoy. Not too much and not too little. They are naturally drawn to her and she to them.
