Cat Sitting in Durham, NC

I have been cat-sitting since I was a teenager (back in the last millennium). Since 2009, I have had my own feline roommates. Over the years, I have enjoyed being surrounded by purrs, but have also had to administer meds during my late cat's Trixie cancer treatment, clean noses and ears during illnesses, and my senior cat, Max, is now needing topical and oral meds as he lives (well) with kidney disease.

Over the years, I have enjoyed being surrounded by purrs, but have also had to administer meds during my late cat's Trixie cancer treatment, clean noses and ears during illnesses, and my senior cat, Max, is now needing topical and oral meds as he lives (well) with kidney disease.
I believe firmly that cats appreciate my calm presence when they first meet me, and I always make sure that interactions are on a cat's terms.
I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to check on your cat(s) according to their routine schedule, and I can accommodate most last-minute bookings.
Communication about your cat's needs is really important to me, and I will let you know about your cat's visits while you are gone. As a pet parent myself, I know how important peace of mind is while on vacation.

Learn More About Katrin

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love being around cats and all animals, and I enjoy meeting new feline friends. I am also happy to provide peace of mind to other pet parents so that they can enjoy their time away from home.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, currently I have two feline roommates. Max is my senior, who is almost 14 years old. I found him as a stray 12 years ago. Lucy is my kitten, whom I found in a parking lot when she was barely 8 weeks old. My late cats were very loved, and their names are Emma, Turbo, and Trixie.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I am available during most holidays, especially when I know well in advance that I have a reservation for a cat sit.

Communicative and friendly pet sitter, who watched my cats for a few days while I went out of town to help my sister after her surgery. I appreciate her checking on my cats (one was hiding upstairs) and giving Layla Ali cuddles. My Maine coone cat Layla Ali is super friendly 🫶 and considers everyone her bestie, but my black cat El Gato side eyes everyone 👁️ and it takes him a while to open up. Katrin was patience, followed all instructions, and took great care of my cats. Would highly recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

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.

Durham 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!
