I’m Allison, and I wear the title of “cat lady” proudly. A cat mama to a former feral girl myself, I know how important it is to make sure your pets are well-cared for while you’re away. I love catsitting and getting to know the different personalities of the cats that I get to spent time with. As a former feral girl’s mom, I know how important it is to build trust and make sure your cat is comfortable with me while visiting your home. My Lou Lou is a Velcro girl, but I respect that is not the case with every cat and will make sure kitties are comfortable with me during a sit. If they love to play and cuddle, great! If they want to keep their own space, that’s fine, too! I will treat your cat like they are my own … and trust me, she is SPOILED.

Learn More About Allison

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been pet sitting officially for about four years now, and have cared for friends cats when they were out of town long before that. I have had both shy and outgoing kitty clients. And I love them all so much.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to learn about each cat’s unique personality when I meet them. I know that every single cat is different, so I love learning what makes them happy. And I LOVE a good snuggle.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I could spend all day telling you about Lou Lou (her “government name” when she’s in trouble is Louisa,) but I’ll try to keep it brief. Lou Lou showed up at my office as a pregnant feral cat. This was during the height of covid, so I spent a lot of time feeding and playing with her on the weekends and after work. She made me work hard for her trust, and it was about six months before I could even touch her. Originally, when I brought her home, she was supposed to go live with a friend of mine, but neither of us were willing to let each other go. And she’s been with me ever since.

Allison took phenomenal care of my 4 kitties, including cleaning up after they had some stressful tummy reactions to mom being gone. She went above and beyond with communicating with me about my kitties’ needs and sent pic and vid updates. She is the ideal cat sitter!

We had such a great experience with Allison as our cat sitter! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and we really appreciated the thoughtful daily check-in notes she sent about our kitties. It gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. At one point, our smoke alarm started chirping during our vacation, and Allison went above and beyond to handle the situation. She even turned on the TV to help comfort Rosie and Lily so they wouldn’t be too startled by the noise—such a kind and thoughtful touch. We’re incredibly happy with her service and the care she showed our cats. We’ll absolutely be booking with Allison again in the future!

Allison did a great job caring for our cat! She handled medicine with ease and gave us full reports and pictures with each visit. Most importantly, she gave our cat lots of love and attention. I felt very at ease knowing Allison was doing everything to make us and our cat comfortable.

Allison was super friendly with my kitties and very patient with my shy kitties too. She communicated well with me and even put out some food for a stray that sometimes likes to hang out nearby. I really appreciated the updates and pics from her visits. I highly recommend her!

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.

Gastonia cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!
