Cat Sitting in Raleigh, NC

Hello, Raleigh! I moved here all the way from southern California in May 2024 and I'm happy to be here!

If you're looking for someone who loves cats (hopefully) just as much as you do, look no further! I have had at least one cat by my side quite literally ever since my birth. That's the "lifetime of experience" guarantee. Many cats I've had throughout my life have had medical necessities, so I'm comfortable administering topical ointments, eye- or eardrops, as well as any oral medications to any cats that may need them. Now that I've moved out, I only have two kitties, but I came from a household that had twelve...
Hello, Raleigh! I moved here all the way from southern California in May 2024 and I'm happy to be here!

If you're looking for someone who loves cats (hopefully) just as much as you do, look no further! I have had at least one cat by my side quite literally ever since my birth. That's the "lifetime of experience" guarantee. Many cats I've had throughout my life have had medical necessities, so I'm comfortable administering topical ointments, eye- or eardrops, as well as any oral medications to any cats that may need them. Now that I've moved out, I only have two kitties, but I came from a household that had twelve. My cat's names are Haebi ("Heybee") and Koara.

A visit from me will entail a description of what your kitties and I got up to and what I cleaned and refilled while I was there, as well as photos and/or videos of everything! I can bring in your mail, take out your trash, water plants, or whatever else if you'd like me to-- just say the word.

If you'd like to know a little more about me, I am a creative type. I write, draw, sing, knit, and play piano. When I'm not doing those, I'm cooking, rock climbing, playing video games, going on walks, reading both print and comic books, or hiking. I studied Communication at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and I'm currently doing my pre-nursing courses at Wake Tech!

Thank you for your consideration! I look forward to talking with you.

Learn More About Sammy

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

Honestly, this is a hard question to answer, because I've been catsitting for THAT long. I've been doing so on Meowtel since late 2022, though. In total, if I had to make an estimate, I'd probably say I've been catsitting fairly regularly for... around ten years or so?

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I just LOVE cats. Cats are my favorite animal and have been since before I even understood the concept of favorites, I'm sure. I have never not had at least one cat in my life. So I truly mean it when I say nothing brings me greater joy than just meeting new cats and learning their different personalities and quirks. It makes me so happy when I can make cats happy the way they make me happy!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I could never pick favorites. My favorite is any reservation I'm at at the moment!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one cat right now, but I'm sure more are in my future. I adopted Haebi (pronounced "Heybee") from a shelter after the loss of my soul cat Snubby. He's been such a good companion. He is a little black kitty with orange-brown highlights in the sun! Before moving out, I came from a twelve-cat household and I miss them all to bits and pieces. I have since added a new friend! Her name is Koara (named because she is gray with a dark nose) and she is tiny, at only seven pounds. She and Haebi became fast friends which I couldn't be happier about.

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

I always, always, always double- and now TRIPLE-check every entry into the home is locked. When entering the home, my first course of action is to lock the door, then lay eyes on every cat; when leaving, I do the same in reverse, then double- and triple-check everything is locked correctly. I will often lock both the top and bottom locks if that is an option for extra security.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Haebi is strange, and he really likes flat toys. I'm talking folded-up receipt paper. He also loves noisy toys, like crinkle ones, and a ball with a bell in it.

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

My previous cat was particularly timid and anxious, so I have a lot of experience with it because of that. When meeting new anxious kitties I always let them engage with me to their comfort level. I never push any limits or boundaries and stay quietly and calmly in their space while they get used to me being in it. My go-to on the first meeting is usually getting low to the ground and holding out a finger for them to sniff if they would like. My methods have made it so that I've become friendly with many cats that are scared of new people, something which I'm very proud to say!

Sammy did a great job per usual. She has watched our cats a few times now and she is always super attentive and detailed. We got a 3rd cat since the last time she watched for us, and we forgot to mention that she has a few known issues related to breathing/runny noses. Sammy noticed this right away and made sure to give us a heads up that that was going on in case we didn't know, which I really appreciated. She also makes sure I know about any weird behavior or upset tummies. I definitely feel like I get all the info I need about what is going on with them and appreciate knowing someone is looking out for all that stuff too while I'm not able to.

Sammy went above and beyond our expectations! One of our cats needs medication and she handled it with no problems. She also sent updates and pictures/videos at each visit. I could tell she genuinely cared for our cats!

I booked Sammy for the first time over the holiday break, and she was AWESOME!! I'm a fairly anxious owner, and I think she picked up on that because she sent very detailed summaries of her visits every day and included lots of photos. I also had a lot of specific requests around the house, and she handled it all flawlessly. She was attentive, professional, and very sweet and kind. Two of my cats are very shy, and I was surprised Sammy got them to interact with her and that she even got to cuddle/pet one of them by the end! I would highly recommend Sammy for your booking!

Without question, I felt confident that my cat was in excellent hands with Sammy, and she proved to be just that. My cat is a nervous one, but Sammy took the time daily to sit with her and keep her company. She is thorough and detail oriented, contacting me daily with pictures and updates, which gave me peace of mind. She is a lovely person, who comes highly recommended!

Sammy was wonderful! Super attentive with detailed updates of our kitties. They were so patient with our more anxious cat, and played with our more outgoing cat every day. Will definitely be booking Sammy again in the future!

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 $25.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
