Learn More About John
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been helping friends with cats for most of my adult life and many of them have referred to me to others.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love animals of all kinds, but cats have always been my favorite. I love getting to meet new cats and earning their trust and love.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
My son and I have 3 cats, both female, and both shown in the pictures. "Skia" is the grey sweetie we wanted to name her "Shadow" but we already have a leopard gecko with that name, so we used the Greek word for Shadow. The other is "Nafty"; her name from the shelter was Nautilus. The Greek word for Nautilus is Naftilos, so we shortened it.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I have shared custody of my son, which means I often can only travel for either Christmas or Thanksgiving(not both) so I am typically available.
What is your favorite cat toy?
My own cats love a good fishing pole toy. We also have a gizmo thst randomly, haphazardly move a dot around on the floor.

Raleigh cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
