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 always such an amazing care taker for Smalls. She provided me with very detailed messages and multiple pictures every visit. It makes our travels much easier, knowing that someone so loving is there to care for Smalls.

Michelle is a wizard, we are so lucky to have her help care for our crew of 5! She managed multiple special diets and meds, and even helped our shyest guy find a way out of his impenetrable fortress of anxiety. I can't say enough about how great she is!

My gang of cats is pretty high maintenance but Michelle handeled them like a champ! I have four extremely food motivated kitties (who act like they’ve never eaten before at every meal time) and one of them who requires daily medications, and at the time of her visit, different food as well. Michelle paid extra attention to my shy guy Cayman and made sure he was able to eat his food without being bullied by others and spent extra time befriending him. I loved getting her updates and pictures at the end of every visit!

Michelle was absolutely great to work with! It was my first time having her look after my cat. She was very professional, sent me daily updates, pictures of them playing together, and even took the trash she had been using for the litter out on the last day. It’s never easy leaving your furry friend, but Michelle made this whole process feel seamless and comfortable for both me and Gatsby!

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!

Michelle was fantastic. She was able to administer medication for my cat that doesn’t easily trust others touching him, and he warmed up to her fast. She spent time playing and getting to know both cats, she followed instructions and made sure both babies were happy. She also gave detailed reports and sent adorable photos. I will definitely be booking Michelle for future drop-ins. Highly recommend!

Michelle is amazing! We have some really shy kitties - Michelle was so sensitive to their needs and made sure that everyone got love and attention in the way they prefer to receive it. She went totally above and beyond keeping the space clean, and her updates were amazing. I have some new favorite photos of my crew thanks to her! She was flexible with updates to our (admittedly convoluted) feeding process and made sure everyone was happy and had what they needed. I get so anxious about leaving the cats, especially because we're merging households and doing a staggered introduction process. Michelle managed everything flawlessly and I am so grateful to her!

Michelle was the best cat sitter! She stayed extra time during the introductory visit to make sure all the details were set (confirming keys to apartment doors, finding both cat’s favorite toys, etc) & she sent so many cute photos throughout her visits! My usually-shy kitten especially loved Michelle & even let her hold her, which was such a heartwarming surprise! :) I’m sure my cats already miss her so much!

Michelle was awesome. This was my first time hiring a catsitter, so I made a lot of mistakes, but she stuck with it the whole way through! I even left the wrong key but mistake, but she worked with me to get a spare from the office, no problem! She did everything perfectly, sent great pictures, and even spent extra time with my cat if she needed more playtime. I would definitely say she went above and beyond, and prioritized the well being of my cat.

Michelle was awesome! We recently moved to the area and this is the first time we have left our kitties with anyone. From the first time we met Michelle during the meet-and-greet, we knew she would be the perfect person to entrust with our furry family members. It was clear from the photos that she won over the cats very quickly. She gave consistent, very detailed updates each time she visited. When we returned, everything was extremely neat and orderly. It seemed that the cats were almost disappointed that it was us, rather than Michelle, coming through the door. Michelle will be our first choice any time we are away form the kitties.

Michelle was an incredible sitter! One of our cats had recently been sick, and Michelle relieved our worries immediately. Her updates and photos brought a smile to our faces each day, and it was obvious our girls were well taken care of and happy to see her. She clearly went above and beyond the typical cat sitter routine, and we are so grateful!

Michelle was a truly amazing pet sitter. From the moment we had our first meet and greet, I knew she'd so a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Fig, while we were away on a two-week trip. Fig is an incredibly shy cat and often hides from pet sitters, sometimes even hissing at them when she's scared. So when we're away for a long time, we always feel bad that Fig doesn't get much human interaction. But, as opposed to many pet sitters we've used in the past, Michelle is a cat lover and a shy cat expert. She visited Fig every day while we were away and talked sweetly to her, never forcing Fig to interact more than she was comfortable. Because of that, Fig never seemed to hide while Michelle was there. We got daily updates from Michelle with wonderful photos of Fig and plenty of details letting us know she was healthy and happy while we were away. She always made sure her water bowls were full of fresh water, monitored her food intake and adjusted accordingly (per our instructions), kept the litter clean, and even treated Fig to catnip, which she loves. We never worried about our cat while on our trip. Michelle was reliable, friendly, and great with cats and we'd absolutely use her again next time we're away.

Michelle did such an amazing job taking care of my cats!! She did everything I asked as well as went above and beyond making sure I came back to a tidy home. She sent lots of pictures and gave me updates on how the cats were doing and what toys they played with. Her updates are fun to read and make me feel that my cats are in good hands while I’m away. My cats loved her and I can tell that she loved them as well!! I will definitely be reserving Michelle in the future to care for my cats!

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 $25.00. 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.
