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.

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!

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 did an excellent job with our cats while we had to be away for work! She navigated through some remodeling going on in our house and a power outage in the area, and she kept everyone happy and content! Her daily updates were so detailed and reassuring. We’re very grateful to have had Sammy as a sitter!

Sammy was very nice and easy to work with. This was my first time leaving my cats for longer than a weekend, so I was really nervous on how my cats would do for almost a week alone. Sammy did a great job with my nervous cats, and would update me on everything she did during each visit and how my cats behaved towards her each time. She seemed genuinely happy when my cats would act more comfortable and start to warm up to her, which just made me feel even more comfortable about having left them in her care. One of my cats is a bit ornery and she handled him well, and even when he was a jerk she tried to be his friend, which I'm really grateful for.

I recently took a five day trip out of town and this was my first time having Sammy take care of my cat Callie. Sammy is awesome! She did a wonderful job taking care of my Callie Cat and her love of cats shows in how she interacted with my cat and in the detailed way that she cared for her. I felt so comfortable right away at the meet and greet with Sammy and Callie warmed right up to her as well, right from the beginning. Sammy’s care of my cat definitely is 5 star ⭐️ worthy! I will absolutely be calling upon Sammy again to care for Callie.

This was my first time with Samantha and she was great. One of my cats is shy and she was able to get him to eat. Both of my cats require medication and she was able to follow all my instructions.

Sammy took excellent care of our fur baby! She sent detailed updates and pictures every day, making me feel much more comfortable about being away. Although our cat is very shy, she warmed up to Sammy in no time. I plan to book her again in the future!

Samantha was amazing! It was my first time using the ap so I was a bit nervous. However after meeting Samantha at the meet and greet I could tell she was an attentive "cat person" and my cats took to her. I have two elderly cats, one who required a pill everyday via a pet piller and the other required lots of extra water. She made sure to take care of their needs. My third cat is super shy and hides from everyone. After a few days she actually out to say hello to Samantha. That speaks volumes! I highly recommend her.

Samantha cares for your cats as if they were her own. She understands how important it is to report back….and how the little things matter. Loved receiving photos—even when the cats were hiding under the bed. Samantha makes it a very personal experience, and I am grateful for her heartfelt TLC.

Frequently Asked Questions

Raleigh cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $24.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
