I have fostered cats for a nonprofit since 2015, and before that had two Siamese who lived to be 19 and 21 years young. My love for kitties began as a child with my sweet kitty that would sleep on my bed. I’d love to comfort yours while you are away.
I am patient and wonderful with the shyest of cats.
I am happy to send you pictures and/or videos of the visits.
Enjoy stress free time away from home knowing your little loved one is being well cared for!

Heather was a wonderful sitter for my cat Dabo. It took no time at all for her to coax him out from under the bed. From day two on, she had him at his happiest and playing the whole time. Heather was responsive and fast throughout the whole process. I would highly recommend.

Heather is my go-to cat sitter for Xena, my beloved calico. Whenever I go on long trips, I board her with Heather, who follows Xena's routine purrfectly. I can travel with confidence knowing Xena is hanging out with Heather, getting lots of lap time, playtime and cuddles. She always looks so happy in the photos Heather sends me. I highly recommend Heather for your cat sitting needs!

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!
