I'm Kimberly | 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...

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 is an excellent choice for a cat sitter due to her combination of key strengths and a genuine love for animals. Her attention to detail ensures that every aspect of a cat’s care—feeding schedules, medication, and hygiene—is meticulously followed. Kimberly's patience and calming presence make her great at handling even the most skittish or independent cats, allowing them to feel safe and comfortable around her. She is also highly responsible, making her a dependable choice for pet owners who need peace of mind when away. Kimberly has a keen ability to read cats' behavior, understanding their needs and responding with empathy, whether it’s playtime, affection, or simply respecting their space. Her punctuality and commitment to providing the highest level of care make her a standout, offering a worry-free experience for both cats and their owners.

Not only does she take care of the cats she makes sure the house stays clean. The litter box area is pristine. All toys and food is put away exactly where it goes and no mess is left behind. She follows instructions very well and knows my indoor/outdoor cats schedule as well as her own.

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 $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.
