I'm Madelynn | Cat Sitting in Durham, NC
My name is Madelynn and I have a senior cat of my own! I’ve cat sat for many people before, including multiple cats in one home, cats with medical issues, behavioral issues, as well as kittens as young as 5 months. With having a senior cat, I’m very used to giving cats medications (in many different ways- my cat has definitely evolved to like pills less and less as he’s aged so I have a few tricks up my sleeve). I adopted my cat BB (short for Bellybutton) from a shelter in 2017, and he's 14 years old- he's the black cat in my profile and cover photo! The shelter I got him from is one that I volunteered for when I lived in Maryland; while I haven't gotten a chance to volunteer at the shelters here in Durham yet, I'm hoping to start soon! I’m a graduate student at Duke, so my schedule is flexible- I have a few meetings and classes schedule...
Madelynn's Reviews
Charlotte
This was our second reservation with Madelynn and it was just as perfect as the first one. She took such excellent care of our shy kitty. Her care is very genuine and thorough - lots of play and special attention. Madelynn also took in our mail, which we appreciated. Her text and photo updates were informative and nice. We knew our cat was in the best hands and that gave us lots of peace of mind.
Katie
This is the third time we have worked with Madelynn and we have been so very grateful to her for how caring and kind she has been to our cats. She is a pro at medications, and patient and kind with our senior cats. One already warmed up to her, but another of our cats was also cuddling with her by the end of the week! The updates were great, as were the photos. We will definitely book her again!!
Katie
This is our second time having Madelynn as our cat-sitter, and she was just as amazing! She is patient, kind, and gentle with the kitties, and is very careful that they get their medicine, and lots of pets and love. She's a perfect houseguest, and just a delight. We also loved all of the pictures and updates she sent us. We'll certainly invite her back again the next time we need a cat-sitter! Thank you!
Tammy
Madelynn was excellent as usual. She worked so hard to make sure our kitties felt loved and cared for. She sent timely and detailed updates with pictures. We feel so comfortable leaving them with her. They weren’t even angry with us when we returned.

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.
