I'm Rebecca | Cat Sitting in Durham, NC

Hi! My name is Rebecca and, of course, I love caring for cats. I have experience fostering all ages and temperaments. Please reach out so we can chat about if we’d be a good match! I treat every cat as it’s own individual and as if they were my own. I ensure kitties are well fed, played with and content. I also provide regular updates to my clients and am able to be reached around the clock. I work to understand cats and their needs. Through working at a cat cafe part time, I have acquired many skills and best practices. I care for my own two cats named Timon and Pumbaa! I know how to handle cautious cats that may need a little mo...

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

When hiring a cat sitter, ask about experiences with cats, trust references, and ensure they are comfortable handling potential emergencies. Discuss your cat's routine, feeding habits, and any special needs. Provide clear instructions, including contact information for your vet. Consider a trial visit to see how the sitter interacts with your cat. Ensure they have a backup plan in case of unforeseen circumstances. Communication is vital, so establish a method for regular updates!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

When starting with a new cat parent I like to have an initial meeting to discuss the cat's routine, feeding preferences, medical history, and any specific instructions. I familiarize myself with the cat's favorite toys and hiding spots. I provide updates during my visits, and am responsive to owners’ communication preferences. Building trust is key, so I enjoy spending quality time with the cat and follow the owner's guidelines closely.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

If you are not fully satisfied with your sitter after the Meet & Greet or during the reservation, please call 1-844-636-9835 so we can help you re-book with a new sitter to ensure we can deliver on our purrfect hospitality promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
