I'm Sydel | Cat Sitting in Raleigh, NC
I've loved cats all my life - to me they are the sweetest, most beautiful and loving creatures. I love and respect kitties and I believe to do so, we have to love them on their terms. I'm a bit of a cat behavior nerd, and I've watched all of Jackson Galaxy's (the cat whisperer) shows. I have been called a cat whisperer myself, and easily make friends with strays, shy kitties, "mean" (personally, I don't believe in mean cats, and will fight anyone who blames poor behavior on the cat) kitties, picky kitties... You name it! I have owned cats most of my life, and I have also volunteered at the ASPCA as a cat matchmaker. Currently I own two sweet siamese mix kitties who I raised from kittenhood and trained to the best of my ability. My own cats can do tricks (when they feel like it 😹), go outside on a harness, and have gone to petco with me in my kitty kangaroo pouch or in their cat backpack. I believe in enriching their lives as much as possible, but within their comfort zone. Recently, my cat Ruby has had some medical issues🩹, so I'm experienced with giving kitties tablet or liquid medicine �...

Sydel's Reviews
Eudora
Sydel is amazing. She was able to help me out with my two boy kitties on super short notice. She is incredibly thoughtful, kind, thorough, and competent. One of my babies was recently diagnosed with cancer and is on a ton of medication including chemo. Sydel kept a really close eye on him, monitoring how much he ate and even his pees and poops! Sydel administered his medicine and went above and beyond to try and make him comfortable (and to make sure I was comfortable!!) Sydel is a great sitter and an even better teammate— she cares for your animals as if they were her own. I will definitely be booking her again!
Stephanie
Sydel was wonderful with my cat 🐈 who is sometimes shy at first. Sydel updated me the whole time she was in my home with my cat. Sydel took wonderful pictures and took such care 🥰 in getting him to take his medication. Sydel made my cat feel very special and made me feel better about being away from him.😀🐱
Diane
In what ended up being a challenging situation with one of our cats, Sydel was a consummate professional. She was also excellent in her interactions with our cats and in her communications with us. I recommend her highly.
Michelle

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
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.
