Cat Sitting in Dallas, NC

Hi, I’m Sydney! I’m an animal-loving, experienced petsitter with 15 years experience working with cats. Not only have I grown up with pets my whole life, but I have worked with animals in many different capacities — from animal shelters, to petsitting, to becoming "employee of the month" at Petsmart! I was a beloved cat mom to my soul cat, Cai, for 13 years before he crossed the rainbow bridge in August 2024. Since then, I’ve enjoyed giving all my love to my sweet cat clients wh... Hi, I’m Sydney! I’m an animal-loving, experienced petsitter with 15 years experience working with cats. Not only have I grown up with pets my whole life, but I have worked with animals in many different capacities — from animal shelters, to petsitting, to becoming "employee of the month" at Petsmart! I was a beloved cat mom to my soul cat, Cai, for 13 years before he crossed the rainbow bridge in August 2024. Since then, I’ve enjoyed giving all my love to my sweet cat clients who fill my heart! ❤️ I love playing, snuggling, and caring for my cat clients as if they were my own! Even the shyest kitties have opened up to me, and I'm always happy to discuss details with you so you can rest assured your fur baby is well taken care of!
I currently work part time as a nanny and dance teacher, so my schedule is flexible. I am happy to discuss days and times that you prefer. I come to you so your pet feels comfortable in their own familiar home surroundings. :)

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new people and their cats because I truly believe cats bring out the best in us. It’s a beautiful way to connect to others! I also lost my soul cat, Cai, whom I had for 13 years, in august 2024. So I cherish all the moments I get to share with my cat clients! I’ve always been a “cat person” and now I just get to be a “professional cat person!”

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

Creating a detailed info sheet with any necessary info is super helpful! My favorite clients have left me PDFs or printed sheets with detailed instructions such as feeding times, pet personality traits, emergency contacts, passwords/passcodes, and even trash collection days for when I stay overnight! It’s super helpful in staying organized. Communication is key!

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

When meeting a cat that is shy or anxious, I always start by allowing them enough space, getting down to their level, and offering my hand for them to sniff. I use a soft, gentle voice, and I let them open up in their own time, offering consistent opportunities for them to connect. I continue to make sure they are cared for and feel safe, and give presence to the moments they do decide to open up!

We could not have asked for a better cat sitter than Sydney! She came to our home for four days over the holidays to spend time with our four cats, and from the very beginning she made us feel completely at ease. We were honestly nervous as this was our first time having someone outside of our family care for them, and letting a stranger into our home and around our cats felt like a big step. Any worries we had disappeared almost immediately after meeting Sydney ! One of our cats is notoriously difficult when I’m not around and has been mean to pretty much everyone in the past. About 10 minutes into her very first visit, Sydney sent me a photo of him with his head resting on her knee (!!) I sent that picture to my best friend who knows my cat very well and she asked me if we had hired a fairy ! Our three other cats are very social but require a lot of playtime and affection, and Sydney absolutely delivered. Even without all the photos and videos, it was obvious when we came home that they had been well stimulated and loved. They had energy, seemed relaxed, and were clearly expecting more playtime because they had already gotten used to her routine with them. Sydney spent her full time focused exactly where we wanted it: on our cats. She was attentive, affectionate, communicative, and clearly understands cat behavior and individual personalities. We felt comfortable, reassured, and genuinely grateful to have found her. We wouldn’t hesitate for a second to book her again and recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and exceptional cat sitter

Sydney was absolutely fantastic taking care of our two cats, Scotch and Irene. Both of them are extremely shy around strangers, but they warmed up very quickly with Sydney - especially Irene! Sydney was always responsive and provided plenty of pictures and updates while we were on our trip. It was easy to relax knowing Scotch and Irene were in good hands. We'll definitely be using Sydney again in the future!

Sydney was unbelievably communicative with us from the very beginning and throughout our trip. She let us know if times needed to be adjusted (due to snow) and gave us live updates of our fur girls during the entire visit. When we got home, our place was spotless and the girls were happy and barely noticed we were back (a sign of being well fed and well cared for!). We very highly recommend Sydney to watch your fur babies!

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.

Dallas 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!
