Learn More About Sydney

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I’ve been sitting for cats for over 10 years. Almost a about a year with Meowtel!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Knowing that I’ve taken care of all needs, clean, fed, water and most importantly play!

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!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes I have one named Dylan!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Make sure you have everything that is needed for the cat and sitter. Food, litter, cleaning products. It’s always best to ask all questions to the sitter so you’re comfortable having them sit for you and the fur baby!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

Walk them through the process of Meowtel and how everything works. Make them feel comfortable and know their cat will be well taken care of.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Always lock the door behind you when entering. Make sure to always ask where cat carriers are incase of a emergency.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I always make sure to give a heads up if I’m out of town. And have my calendar updated!

What is your favorite cat toy?

String toys or balls! Even bubbles!

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

Speak calmly and quiet to them. Do not approach them if they seem scared and I do not use a flash if taking a photo or a video.

I was out of the country for a week, and knowing that Sydney was caring for my fur babies gave me complete peace of mind! She is incredibly reliable, detail-oriented, and genuinely loves animals. Her updates were thorough and thoughtful, with plenty of videos and photos that reassured me my cats were happy, healthy, and well cared for. She was also quick to respond to any of my messages, making communication effortless. It’s clear that she goes above and beyond to ensure both pets and owners feel at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter—Sydney is truly the best! Highly recommend! Let me know if you’d like any tweaks!

Sidney is an absolute gem! I’ve trusted her with my kitties several times now, and she never disappoints. She’s incredibly reliable and always keeps me in the loop with updates and photos. My cats adore her and it’s clear she genuinely cares about their happiness and well-being. I know I can always count on her and I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust completely. I will definitely continue to use her services. Highly recommend!

Sydney was excellent and went above and beyond to take care of our kitty. She was prompt and provided us with videos and pictures of her visits, which allowed us to relax while we were away. I highly recommend Sydney, and we will call upon her again the next time we're away.

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.)

We think Sydney did a great job. She was very receptive to our input on how to address our shy cat and she adapted her energy to suit him. Our fear was that he wouldn't eat because he's had that problem in the past when we go out of town and sadly he has notably lost weight from not eating while we're away. Sydney made sure to give him his space so he could eat. No weight loss and he was calm upon our return home. Our other little kitty also did very well under Sydney's care. Sydney sent lots of great videos too.

This is my first Meowtel experience and it was fantastic! Sydney was very communicative with updates and photos/videos throughout the week and responded quickly—even with a 6-hour time difference! I was quickly put at ease during our “Meet and Greet” and enjoyed a week away without a single work about my kitties. Thank you, Sydney! You are the BEST!!

I had a three day reservation with Sydney and her performance was outstanding. Sydney is very detail oriented with a focus on making the cats feel comfortable. Both my boys loved Sydney. Bruno was a bit shy at first but Sydney was able to establish a bond with him and by the end Bruno was comfortable. Sydney was great during our meet and greet, even taking notes. I will definitely request Sydney for cat care in the future provided she has availability. Thanks again, David

Sydney made this situation as easy and seamless as it possibly could have been. between our meet and greet and all of the wonderful communication while I was gone, i left feeling 100% confident in leaving the country knowing she would be taken care of to the caliber I do each day. Sydney sent so many pictures and videos and made me feel like I was there myself. she was kind, gentle, reliable and just an all around nice person that makes you feel safe knowing she's coming by. thank you Sydney for making my first trip outside of the US the most relaxing knowing you were caring for Suri.

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.
