Cat Sitting in Newport, NC

Hi! My name is Natalie and I’m a massive cat lover. I grew up in Connecticut with four cats that were my entire world and childhood, and as an adult, I’ve fostered and owned several cats. My kitty, Toby, is an orange American Wirehair and the love of my life! I plan to take care of every kitty the same way I do Toby, as that’s what I would expect for him. I’m an outgoing, gentle, and loving friend to cats just as I am to peo... Hi! My name is Natalie and I’m a massive cat lover. I grew up in Connecticut with four cats that were my entire world and childhood, and as an adult, I’ve fostered and owned several cats. My kitty, Toby, is an orange American Wirehair and the love of my life! I plan to take care of every kitty the same way I do Toby, as that’s what I would expect for him. I’m an outgoing, gentle, and loving friend to cats just as I am to people, and I’m the type of person to hang out with someone’s cat the second I walk into their home. In the past, family and friends have joked that I’m cat-obsessed and they are 100% correct. Being a cat lover is at the forefront of my personality, and I wish our world was far more kind to cats. My dream is to one day open a cat sanctuary in North or South Carolina, where cats can be rescued and adequately loved and nurtured💜

Learn More About Natalie

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

My favorite thing about cat sitting is selfishly the oppurtunity to spend time with all different types of kitties! I love my cat, endlessly, but I also adore my friends’ and family members’ cats so very much. I believe every cat is unique and beautiful and the more cat friends, the merrier! I also know that when I leave Toby to travel, it’s hard to find someone that will tend to his needs and love him the same way I will. As a result, I love being that for other people so that they can have peace of mind knowing their cats are in great hands☺️✨

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have one orange kitty named Toby! He is the love of my life (oh, and of course my partner too). I rescued Toby three years ago and I believe he is my soul cat. I’m one of those crazy cat ladies that misses him even when I’m gone for a few hours, so you can imagine how much I miss him when I’m away for vacation or work! 🐈

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

I’ve dealt with my fair share of timid and anxious cats in my life. I intuitively understand that caring for cats requires patience and gentleness, especially for those who are uncomfortable around strangers. I believe speaking in a calm voice, sitting in their space but not alarming them or coercing them, and spending as much time as possible is the best way to assure a cat that you are a well-intentioned friend.

Natalie took great care with our skittish and anxious kitty Luna. She spent the first few days sitting with her and letting her get comfortable and it worked like a charm. Luna came out for snacks, then cuddles, then some outdoor play time more quickly than we ever expected. The updates and photos showed clearly how much she was enjoying her new friend. Natalie also went above and beyond what was asked, staying extra time when Luna was finally engaging and cleaning and tidying up bowls, etc. We will 100% rebook with Natalie next time we travel.

Natalie took care of our 4 babies for a week and did a wonderful job! One of cats is skittish about new people but warmed up to her very quickly. Natalie always gave us updates and sent us pictures with every visit, reassuring us that they are being well taken care of. The cats seemed a lot less stressed when we got home. It is clear that cats are very much her passion as she was very affectionate towards them. Thank you again!

Natalie was absolutely amazing with my kitten Clara! Our family went away for a week and I was so worried about leaving our 5 month old kitten. As soon as I met Natalie, I felt relief. Natalie more than lived up to my first impressions. She’s smart, kind and personable and it felt like she really loved my kitty! She went above and beyond and even helped me out when my dogs needed to come back a day early from boarding. Natalie was excellent at communicating and giving me updates. I knew Clara was loved and cared for - that peace of mind is invaluable! Thank you Natalie!!

Natalie was the absolute best to take care of my old dumb cat while I was away for the weekend. You can tell she really loves cats - she took great pictures and sent updates the whole time. Was able to easily follow logistics instructions and even cleaned up some hairballs 💀 sorry Natalie. She went above and beyond taking out trash and I’m pretty sure she emptied my vacuum too?? Natalie’s my girl.

Natalie was the most **incredible cat sitter**. She responded to my inquiry lightning fast. I had to leave town unexpectedly for a medical issue, and she jumped right in. I felt immediately comfortable trusting her; she's so kind. Knowing she was taking care of my kitty was a huge blessing! It was such a stressful time, but I could tell Natalie really loved my cat Boba (who has a lot of personality and energy!) Natalie sent me regular updates, pictures, videos, and when my time away got extended, she rolled with it and was able to continue care. I really don't know what I would have done without her. She's so amazing, friendly, and I'm so glad to have found her. ☺️ I recommend her 1000%!!! Thank you, Natalie!

Natalie went absolutely over and beyond looking out for my cat Buttons while I was out of town. Quick response, photos/videos, and just overall being great to work with. In fact, I keep walking into the living room to Buttons just staring at the front door hoping Natalie comes back for a hang. Can’t recommend her enough!

Newport cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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 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!
