Cat Sitting in Raleigh, NC
EXPERIENCE
I have had a cat my entire life and love how independent, spunky, energetic, relaxed, and loving they can be! I was a volunteer at a local... Hi, I’m Rachel! I understand how nerve-racking it can be to leave your furry family members in the care of someone else while you are away, which is why I promise I will love your cats as if they are my own. I want to ensure that you are able to relax and not worry about your animals while you are away! I will give your cats whatever they need, whether that be lots of love and attention or letting them do their own thing. I always send lots of updates about how your cats are doing, how much they've eaten, what toys we played with and of course tons of photos!
EXPERIENCE
I have had a cat my entire life and love how independent, spunky, energetic, relaxed, and loving they can be! I was a volunteer at a local animal shelter in high school and entered college at NC State as an Animal Science major. During that time, I also interned with a holistic veterinarian. Ultimately, I ended up switching majors, but my love for animals has been unwavering. I have been catsitting since I was in high school.
I am willing to go above and beyond with any requests you may have in making sure you feel comfortable leaving your feline friends and making sure they are happy. My cat is currently at home with my parents in New Jersey and I miss her very much so I enjoy having some kitty play time!
SCHEDULE CONSTRAINTS
I am currently a Speech Therapist. I am available most weekends. I live in West Raleigh so I am near NC State and Cary.
COVID UPDATE
I am fully vaccinated and boosted and can wear a mask if that makes you more comfortable.
I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and can ensure they are in great hands while you are away. Please let me know of any special requests or if there is anything I can do to make you feel reassured!

This was the first time leaving my boys with someone other than a friend or family as I recently moved. Rachel made me feel totally at ease knowing all the love and attention she gave them! She was prompt, thorough, and her communication was great. Your cats will be well cared for with her!

Rachel is a great sitter for my two energetic, young cats. They have some difficulties getting along, so I'm always concerned about their safety when I travel. Rachel was very conscientious about communicating with me each visit and separating them when necessary. I really appreciate the fact that I have a sitter than understands cat behavior, and that I can trust her to be responsive, observant, and use good judgement when caring for them while I'm away. They also really enjoy her! There were extra playful when I returned, so I know that she was giving them a workout during her visits. It hasn't even been 24 hours since I returned home and my cats act as though I never left!

Rachel was great! my cat is usually antsy and begging for attention when I get back home, but she was clearly well cared for by Rachel because she seemed as happy as ever when I arrived at home.

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 $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!

This was my first time using Rachel’s cat sitting service for my little Callie and she was fabulous from the first correspondence through the meet and greet and to sending me updates and photos when she came to take care of my kitty. Rachel is lovely and I just felt really comfortable when I met her and felt good about leaving Callie in her care. In fact, I needed to go out of town the next weekend and so I reserved Rachel right away to come back and care for Callie again! I would recommend Rachel and I’m going to be a repeat, regular client of hers.

Rachel was able to come check on my cat, Luna with very little notice, which was wonderful. She made sure to communicate throughout the process. She gave Luna lots of attention and pets when checking in on her, and sent me tons of pics as well. Would definitely choose her again!
