Cat Sitting in Durham, NC

I have a couple loves in life and two of them are travel and my cats, so I am fully aware of how it feels to leave my little joys at home! It can be especially difficult when there’s unusual circumstances, special needs, senior cats or a multi-cat house, which I have lived with for many many years. Nothing sets up a relaxing vacation then when you know on your return your home and little joys will all be just as you left them, happy, healthy, and well fed! A empty litter box, tidy ho... I have a couple loves in life and two of them are travel and my cats, so I am fully aware of how it feels to leave my little joys at home! It can be especially difficult when there’s unusual circumstances, special needs, senior cats or a multi-cat house, which I have lived with for many many years. Nothing sets up a relaxing vacation then when you know on your return your home and little joys will all be just as you left them, happy, healthy, and well fed! A empty litter box, tidy home and content cat is a happy home. It is a true joy taking away any worry and replacing it with reassurance that all your kitties will be taken care of.

In my life I have cared for senior cats to bottle fed kittens, special needs kitties with Ataxia and cats that need constant care and daily medications. While spending time with my at home joys I’ve also worked with local feral colonies on rehabilitation and TNR. I am fearless and up for any challenge.

Truly, life is full of joy!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Cats are such of wildcards with their personalities! You know know what your getting when your first introduced to a cat but when they open up to you its always such a joy. I also thoroughly enjoy a clean home so to keep a space mess free, litter-less and as it was on the first day of sitting is a dream.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 4 cats! Lilo, my 10 year old calico dive and oldest feline confidant. Lou, my sweet 2 year old tuxedo boy and all around gentleman. We call the goodest boy. Honey, a very flirty 5 year old tabby that wants physical contact and 24/7. And last but not least, Pork Buns, that cat we found near a dumpster after eating pork buns in downtown Durham. Once skinny and dirty, I am happy to say he is the largest cat I’ve ever seen topping 22 pounds of pure tabby muscle

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

Since I have been working tirelessly with feral colonies I have become used to approaching extremely scared, anxious or timid cats. Successfully, many of these lovelies have been rehabilitated to become fantastic house babies that never want to go outside again. Patient and time are always key! Sweet words and slow movement can take you very far.

Kimberly was amazing!!! From the meet and greet visit, I could tell she really cared about getting to know my cat, Jasper, and was so excited to hang out with him! She was so patient as I yapped all about him. Then she made sure to send daily updates of photos or videos, which I really appreciated! It was clear that he was enjoying hanging out with her, too. She made sure to do some of his favorite things, too! Thank you Kimberly for being so loving towards my baby!

I had Kimberly watch my two kitties and she was wonderful! took the time to update me everyday how they are doing and ensuring that they were eating/doing well. She was very kind and my kitties seemed to really enjoy her as well! I have one shy cat and she took the time to try and make her feel as comfortable with her as possible. would definitely recommend!!!

I cannot even begin to explain how incredibly helpful, compassionate, and caring Kimberly was for our babies. Not only was she able to accommodate a last minute, multi-day holiday visit but she was also paramount in helping to keep myself and my partner calm during a stressful trip where everything seemed to go wrong. Her dedication to our pets and ensuring we had a good trip, regardless of the electrical complications and my naughty boys destroying their auto feeder, was truly remarkable. She sent so many picture updates and was able to easily socialize with my very nervous boy who usually hides from strangers. The fact, alone, that he was so confident and comfortable around her says A LOT to me since he is only ever social when I am around (momma’s boy). 100000/10 would recommend to everyone I know and beyond. We are so so so soooo thankful for Kimberly!

I had the best time hanging out with your little family. Your guys were so loving and charismatic I’d do anything for them. Sitting that was my absolute pleasure.

Kimberly is absolutely amazing! This was my first time having someone come to watch the kitties for an extended amount of time, so I was very anxious about how they would do. She sent thorough updates everyday (along with adorable photos, which the cats looked very happy in!) and it completely put my mind at ease. My black void of a cat can be shy, and will find very creative places to hide. Kimberly was able to spot her each day, which is deserving of a hide&seek Olympic gold medal. I had also forgotten I had a few packages coming, and she brought them in without my mentioning it. Truely went above and beyond for my cats, and will rebook for all my future trips!

Thank you so much Taylor! Both of your cats were such dolls! A good game of hide and seek keeps me on my toes and I fell in love with your orange boy!

Kimberly was fantastic! She watched my two boys for a week and I couldn't have asked for better care. She sent pictures every day, provided great updates, and just generally helped provide enormous peace of mind when I had to leave my babies when I went for a trip. She took great notes on her initial visit and was quick to follow up if she had any additional questions or needed clarification. By the end of the week even my shyer kitty had warmed up and was playing up a storm. Overall, Kimberly was a great communicator and an attentive presence who I felt very comfortable having in my home while I was away. Could not recommend her more.

Kimberly NAILED it! Truth be told, my kitty met her at the door, so she’s got a great kitty vibe. Ran out of treats due to kitty mischief, but she did not hesitate to grab some for the next time. A true feline Jedi.

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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!
