Jalanie was great from start to finish! she was so communicative and came to the house before the reservation to meet my cat, do a walkthrough, and ask questions. She was so patient with my cat (who is a grouch), messaged during each visit to keep me updated on how my cat was doing. Overall, an awesome experience and I absolutely plan to book with Jalanie again.

Jalanie made everything easy for our trip. Key pickup was easy, and we got everything squared away well in advance. During our trip we got comprehensive updates and photos keeping us in touch with our furry overlords.

Hire this lady. She is the best pet sitter I have ever had. She treats my cats with such love and affection. She provided me regular updates that include pictures and videos. She doesn't just sit there She actually engages with my cats and provides enrichment and cuddles them. Shes incredibly neat and tidy and treats my place with respect which I greatly value. Would absolutely recommend her. Shes the only pet sitter I will use now.

Frequently Asked Questions

Durham cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $24.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
