I'm Michelle | Cat Sitting in Raleigh, NC

Hello! I'm Michelle---a long time fan of Meowtel's sitter services, and an ardent cat-lover since I was a little girl (yes, I was the "cat kid"). 😽 Our family always had cats (mostly tabby boys) of all ages, and now I'm the overjoyed owner and bff of Ted, a wonderful 13-year-old rescue boy! For years, I have helped friends out with their pets---giving medication, cuddles, and occasionally staying over with the ones who need some extra TLC. I'm a communicative, caring, and responsible gal in my mid-30's and--as a cat mom myself--here to give the same quality of love I'd want my fur-baby to receive in my absence! In 2015, I volunteered at Safe Haven Cat Shelter in Raleigh (where I adopted Ted) and learned extra tips and tricks for speci...

Learn More About Michelle

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new cat friends and chatting it up with fellow pet parents! We all have so many stories about our fur-babies, so I adore learning more about each cat's personality (and I'm a big sucker for silly meows.)

What is your favorite cat toy?

My cat, Ted, is obsessed with catnip-filled toy squirrels (I have a small menagerie for him which--quite often--find their way under pieces of furniture. ;)

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

It's so important to let cats show you the speed they need! Some are very loving and chatty, but the shy ones often prefer to get used to a new person's presence incrementally. I make sure I speak aloud often so they get used to my presence, and if they want to come investigate, I never push the issue, but allow them to approach as much as their comfort and willingness allow. 😺

Michelle is AMAZING. One of my old guys has to take 5 pills a day and it’s even a struggle for me. Michelle pills him no problem, which is a very rare skill! she is patient and caring, gives him breaks so he doesn’t get too upset, and is just generally gentle and kind. Michelle is my top choice for house sits!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Raleigh cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. 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.
