Learn More About Nan

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

Over the last several years, I have sat for my neighbors’ cats while the cat parents were out of town. I have also been a Meowtel sitter for about 1.5 years. It is the most fun ever. I get to go into cat abodes, feed, water, and treat them. Then I get to pet and play with them. I like to think of myself as your cat’s favorite auntie who is nothing but fun fun fun!!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy different personalities of cats. Each one is unique and I enjoy getting to know and befriending them all.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have a pair of 2 year old sisters who are absolutely adorable. Their names are Bonnie and Roxie.

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

When hiring a cat sitter, I would make sure they will get to “know” my feline baby. They should take the time to ask lots of questions about the cat…their personality, likes and dislikes, food preferences, daily schedule, litter box habits, etc. I would also watch the cat and sitter’s initial interaction. I feel like the cat should dictate all interactions.

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

I like to take the time to get to know the cat by asking lots of questions. (See above.) I like to meet the cat on their own terms…to let them control the pace of our initial and future interactions.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

For each client, I ensure that the cat is acting normally as described by their owner(s) and that there are no visible injuries or limping. I check for any signs of vomiting or diarrhea in the cat’s living area. I check the counters, etc. to make sure that nothing in the cat’s environment has been disturbed. Upon leaving, I ensure that I have seen all the cats and that all is well with them (fed, watered, petted, and played with) and that all litter boxes are clean. I also check that the house is in order. When locking up, I triple check that the house is secure.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I am usually available during holidays. However, I book up quickly, so please request your holiday reservations early.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Your cat’s favorite toy is my favorite! I myself like the retracting cat wand with a wiggly worm.

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

I sit quietly and let them approach me. I talk to them in a calm soothing voice. With the parent’s permission, I will offer a treat. Once they move closer, I will hold out my hand for them to sniff. I allow the cat to initiate and control all interactions.

Nan goes above and beyond to make sure our Bengal is happy and well cared for. Her love of cats is evident in the way she dotes on him and takes the time to cater to his every need. She clearly enjoys her job. We feel confident with Nan in our home and recommend her without reservation. And Woodford seconds that!

Nan was a thoughtful and thorough sitter for our cat while we were away. She sent us detailed updates and lots of pictures which set my mind at ease. She is clearly a natural with cats so I knew she would give mine some genuine love and attention. Will definitely be booking Nan again for our next trip!

Nan took care of our furkids while we vacationed in Europe and is the ultimate cat sitter! She also worked with our youngest cat who has separation anxiety and requires a few tricks to make her eat while we’re away . highly recommend Nan for your cat “nanny” needs! <3

Nan provided absolutely FANTASTIC care for our beloved cat Buddy! I still am in amazement about each and every detail that she managed and provided beautifully. I’m beyond thrilled and happy with the care she provided and she couldn’t be a friendlier or more thoughtful companion to care for your fur babies. I will not hesitate to leave our Buddy under her wonderful care in the future.

Nan was wonderful! It was hard for me to be away from my needy kitties, but I was comforted knowing that they were in her hands. She was excellent with them, such that even my very shy boy welcomed her during visits. I couldn’t recommend someone more.

I’ve worked with cat sitters for decades and none match Nan for her caring, responsiveness, professionalism and geuine kindness. The only reason I wouldn’t recommend her is I don’t want to share! She is a true cat person.

Nan took great care of our boy Charleston while we were away. It was our first time using a cat sitter and we were a little nervous about leaving him for a whole week. Nan made us feel so comfortable and gave us what wonderful detailed updates and pictures while we were gone. She followed all care instructions to a tee and it’s obvious she really loves cats. I recommend her without hesitation.

{to/dr} In short, Nan is great. I highly recommend her as a caretaker for your precious feline family. Nan was responsive and accommodating to my inquiry for 2 overnight sits. We determined it would be a good fit and arranged a Meet and Greet. Nan came to the MnG prepared with a checklist and eager to get all the details to make the sits most enjoyable for all. She let me be a crazy cat mom and blather on and on about my life story as a meowmmy. During the sits, Nan texted pictures and periodic updates, but was mindful of my time and attention sine I was at a work conference. Nan saw my gurl display an odd behavior, captured it on video and asked me about it. I felt so comfortable with Nan and so did Niki who has some particular care needs (drama llama). I won’t hesitate to call on Nan for future sits and can confidently recommend her.

We recently moved from Chicago to N.C. and I was worried we wouldn’t find a car sitter as awesome as our previous sitter in Chicago. Nan knocked that fear out of the park. She’s amazing and gives the best updates that make you feel and know your fluff babies are being cared for well.

From the Meet&Greet, we could tell that Nan truly cared both for the animals she cared for and the owners who were leaving them in her care. Her updates showed us that our fur babies were in good hands and let us relax and enjoy our time away. We won’t hesitate to book her services again.

Nan is a thoughtful and thorough kitty caretaker. She is responsive in our early communication and throughout the arrangement. She was available for both an in person and virtual meet and greet, which was really helpful. Our cats loved her. She really made an extra effort to learn about their personalities and took the time to allow the kitties to warm to her. Thank you, Nan!

Frequently Asked Questions

Durham cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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.
