Cat Sitting in Raleigh, NC

Hi, I’m Eric! I’m a lifelong cat dad with a calm, easygoing energy that cats usually pick up on pretty quickly. I’ve been around cats since I was a kid and have experience with all kinds—from super social lap cats to more reserved or quirky personalities. I’m also comfortable giving medication and do so daily for one of my own cats who has a heart condition.

As a cat parent myself, I totally get how hard it can be to leave your pets behind—even just for a weekend. That’s why I aim to provide the kind of care that helps both you and your cat feel relaxed while you’re away. I’m very attentive to details and always try to create a calm, familiar environment so your cat feels safe and cared for...

That’s why I aim to provide the kind of care that helps both you and your cat feel relaxed while you’re away. I’m very attentive to details and always try to create a calm, familiar environment so your cat feels safe and cared for.

Before any booking, I like to meet you and your cat in person so we can chat about your cat’s routine, likes and dislikes, and any unique quirks or care instructions. Every cat is different, and I want to make sure I’m showing up for them in the way they’re most comfortable with. A quick conversation up front helps me tailor my care to match your cat’s personality and needs.

While you’re away, I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you never feel out of the loop. I can also take care of a few extras around the house like watering plants or bringing in the mail.

After stepping away from a full-time job to help care for my parents, I now have a lot more flexibility—and I’m using it to do something I truly enjoy: spending time with animals. If you’re looking for someone caring and dependable, I’d love to meet you and your cat.

Learn More About Eric

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to meet new interesting cats, the playful ones, the cuddling ones, even the grumpy ones :) Cat sitting gives me the opportunity to meet new people and their pets. I enjoy being able to ease the stress of the owners and the pets while they’re away from each other.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Start looking early and pre screen as much as you’re able to. That way, if you discover it’s not a good fit during meet and greet you have time to meet a different sitter. As someone with cats who can be anxious for new people and require medication, I’ve found it’s very important to go through a detailed walkthrough of expectations in advance of hiring.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Since I’m currently helping care for my parents part time as opposed to having a full time job, I’m not traveling over holidays. So I’d be happy cat sit for folks who travel for holidays!

What is your favorite cat toy?

The humble string will always will always reign supreme - no batteries required!

Simple and easy to schedule with and our cat was well taken care of! Eric diligently followed our feeding instructions, helped with cleaning the litter box and even bringing in mail, and spent time with our cat to make sure she felt loved.

Eric did an amazing job at taking care of my two boys. He has a calm demeanor around them during the meet and greet and sent us pictures of the cats playing during his visits. He was also great with a last minute change of plan and with administering topical medicine. If Eric is available, book him.

Eric did an amazing job with our cat Midas. Everyday, Eric was sending updates and pictures on Midas. Eric was also able to administer all of Midas' medications and took care of things around our house while we were on vacation. I would highly recommend Eric's to anyone that needs to have their cat(s) and home if you are away.

Eric did a great job with all three of our fur babies! We were kept updated with photos and videos, and they were so content when we came home! And all of this was while we had some unexpected construction going on, so he handled a complex situation like a pro! I highly recommend him!

If you are looking for someone to care for your kitties, then Eric is that person. I have several inside cats and lots of outside kitties including a feral colony that need food and water stations changed out daily and he did it all. Eric was so great with both the inside and outside babies. My outside kitties warmed up to him quickly and was eager to see him arrive each day. If you are looking for someone who will take care of your kitties like his own, then reach out to Eric. My kitties love him. Also, the daily updates and pics was wonderful. First vacation that I was not worried because I knew all the kitties were in good hands. Thanks Eric

  • More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.

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.

Raleigh 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!
