I'm Maryam And Faadhil
Cat Sitting in Durham, NC
We both work from home so our schedules are flexible. ... Hello! We’re Maryam & Faadhil and we love cats and their humans! We’ve cared for over 100 cats in our area and are well-versed in various kinds of kitty care including administering medicine, complex food requirements and of course playtime! Let us know what your cat’s favorite toy is so they can have the best playtime sessions while you’re away!
We both work from home so our schedules are flexible. Maryam is a PhD student and Faadhil is a software engineer, so as a team we’re available almost anytime! We adopted a shelter cat a few years ago and have plenty of experience with all the health issues that shelter cats may have, so we are comfortable administering meds or coaxing out shy little kitties.
We’ve handled every kind of cat: from easy-going to playful to spicy, and everything in between!
Learn More About Maryam And Faadhil
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
We always request a meet and greet before taking on any new clients so we can meet you and your kitties and get familiar with the particulars of their needs. We’d be very happy to schedule a virtual or in-person meeting with you!
Are you usually available during holidays?
We are always available during major holidays like Thanksgiving and Christmas but reach out early because bookings fill up quickly!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Cats are unique and each has their own personality. Cats can get shy and anxious or aggressive when their humans leave, which can be normal. We work with our human clients to learn the particular needs of each cat to maximize their wellbeing during our visits. You know your cat best and we’ll work with you to give your kitties the best care, no matter what.

I was so fortunate to find Maryam & Faadhil with short notice when another cat sitter arrangement (not on Meowtel) fell through. I found them to be communicative and responsive throughout the entire process. They enabled my husband and I to take an extended 20th anniversary vacation with less stress and anxiety, knowing our one senior cat and one adult cat were well-cared for. They were proactive with minor clean-ups, and I felt secure about their presence in our home. I will definitely engage them again.

They were amazing with my cats! Very detailed updates and the most adorable pictures. They also helped take out the trash and vaccumed the mess my cats made. 10/10 would reserve them again. They are the best cat sitters I have met so far.

Had to make a last minute reservation and they were willing to take care of my boys! They did a wonderful job and were very attentive! They even vacuumed up litter off the floor and managed to fix their water fountain when my youngest broke it! Very communicative and sent tons of pictures! I will definitely book again!!

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 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!

Maryam And Faadhil were great!! I'm so pleased with how everything went. My baby is very shy but they still spent time playing and offering outdoor time outside. The communication was great! I will definitely use them again.

Maryam provides thorough, detailed-oriented cat care that prioritizing each car’s specific needs. Because Maryam is a cat-owner and cat-lover herself, it’s obvious she views each cat as an individual with his or her own personality, preferences, and needs. Cannot recommend enough!
