Cat Sitting in Clayton, NC

My friends always said that I was the cat whisperer. I've had cats for almost 30 years of my life. I grew up with them, and I currently have 5 of my own. My oldest are 14, down to 1. I also have a semi-feral cat inside that I have taken months to care for and work with, so she is completely comfortable with indoor livi... My friends always said that I was the cat whisperer. I've had cats for almost 30 years of my life. I grew up with them, and I currently have 5 of my own. My oldest are 14, down to 1. I also have a semi-feral cat inside that I have taken months to care for and work with, so she is completely comfortable with indoor living, and the other cats. My day job is with the state, so I have regular hours. I've cat-sat on some capacity for almost 20 years, for friends, neighbors, etc.
I can't wait to meet your babies! Typical visits include feeding, scooping litter box, water refills, general cleaning up and playing with or spoiling the babies!

Learn More About Rachel

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

I started cat sitting at 22, almost 20 years ago, from weekend trips to 3 week cross country road trip. I typically do 2 visits a day.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 5 cats. Casey, Cody, Charlie-Ann, Liam, and Camille. Casey and Cody are 14 years old, from the same litter, Charlie is 7, Liam is 1, Camille is 3.

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

Let the sitter come over and meet the cats go over all instructions in advance. That way everyone is comfortable.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The little plastic springs, my cats love them, they are indestructible, and don't make a lot of noise. My cats usually destroy anything with fur or feathers on it.

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.

Clayton cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
