I'm Sydney | Cat Sitting in Raleigh, NC

I have had cats since I was a child, 14 years as an adult I raised 2 strays from the streets and brought them into my home. I love to be around other kitties and make sure they are loved, played with and more importantly safe and healthy. I have been told I am the "Cat Whisperer" by both friends and strangers. Cats seem to gravitate towards me due to my calming nature and letting them smell my hand before engaging further. I really enjoy playing with cats who will let me as I feel cats aren't played with enough in todays busy world. I also enjoy speaking nice and calming things to cats as I feel those words help them grow into great fur babies. I currently have 1 Javanese of my own and she is very much spoiled and loved. When it come to feline health I am big on giving them the proper medicine, food and clean environment as no one wants to live in filth. A cat's surroundings must be a top priority because nothing ever ...

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite was for one of my first sittings with Meowtel. I sat for 2 cats that both needed special needs and food. They were older and one had 3 legs and the amount of love both of those cats showed after I cared for them really made me feel like I was doing my part to help better their lives!

Sydney is a phenomenal cat-sitter! Incredibly detail oriented and wonderful with all types of cats! We have a rambunctious kitten and a shy younger cat, and she was able to charm them both!

Sydney is fantastic. Our cats have changing requirements: food, medications, etc. and Sydney adjusts to them all. She also goes above and beyond by observing and responding to things that need to be done while we are away.

Jamie

Sydney has been our pet sitter several times. She always does an amazing job with my 2 senior kitties. Both have very different personalities and she adjusts her interactions with them so they are both comfortable. She does a great job with managing medications and follows their daily routines as much as possible. She has a very caring manner and wants the cats to be happy and well cared for. She leaves the house in great shape and although I feel bad leaving my babies I feel very comfortable having Sydney care for them while we are gone.

Sydney is great with our cats and she is proactive about other things around the house. She noticed when the bird feeders were empty and asked how to fill them. She even asked me about the mail. (I had it held so there was nothing to do, but I was impressed by her question.)

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

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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.
