Senior Cat Snuggler

I'm Kat

Cat Sitting in Raleigh, NC

As my name suggests, I've been around cats my entire life. I grew up with two cats: one old man who sat in your lap, and one brat who stared you down from a distance.
Both cats lived to be 19 and 20 respectively. After leaving the nest egg, I learned I had a soft spot for senior cats, specifically those with health issues. I adopted Greg, a 10 y/o cat with a 10-page medical history, and our three months together were magical. I understand how stressful special needs cats can be, and I hope to alleviate worries for loving cat parents who have to spend time away.
I am comfortable administering oral, topical, and eye drop medications...

I am comfortable administering oral, topical, and eye drop medications. I'm versed in urinary issues, gastrointestinal issues, and eye diseases. I also work remotely, so I can hang out at your house during the day if your pet needs closer monitoring. My lap is always available for snuggles, but I completely understand cats who are shy or unsure about strangers. I'll just love them from a distance!
I volunteer at the Wake County SPCA as a feline matchmaker, where I introduce people to kittens and adult cats, explain different conditions, and answer adoption-related questions. I'm there about once a week making sure all the cats get love, attention, and clean litter boxes, even if they're stuck to their condo or not feeling it that day.
I'm available for drop-ins and daytime stays, but I do not do overnight stays.
I'd be honored to meet and spend time with your little gremlins! Just shoot me a message.

Learn More About Kat

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

I've been cat sitting on and off since I was about 14. I've stopped by for neighbors and friends when requested.

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

Always follow your gut! Your fur babies are precious, and you should always be 100% confident about the sitter you choose.

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

I understand cats need time to get used to any change, including a new human in the home. I do not force any contact. I will sit in the same room as your cat and let them explore as they wish. I avoid sudden and loud noises and movements.

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!
