I'm Antonella
Cat Sitting in Statesville, NC
focus on keeping your cat’s routine... Hi! I’m a dependable animal lover with a little bit of vet tech experience and a true passion for caring for cats of all personalities—from playful kittens to shy seniors. I understand how important it is for cat parents to feel confident their pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re away. During each visit, I will
focus on keeping your cat’s routine consistent by providing feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, affection, and careful observation for any changes in behavior or health. I’m patient, gentle, and experienced in reading feline body language, which helps me build trust even with nervous cats. I treat every cat like my own and always aim to provide reliable, loving, stress-free care.
Learn More About Antonella
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 3 kitties of my own, 1 senior and 2 teenagers:) my senior is named Luna, I named her due to her bright grey eyes when I found her, the others are melo and nugget which I named after the McDonald's menu where I found them.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! I’m available for most holidays, including major holidays, and I understand how important reliable care is during those busy times. I’m happy to help make sure your cat stays comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away celebrating or traveling.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I’m very patient and gentle with anxious or timid cats, and I always let them set the pace. I use calm movements, a quiet approach, and respect their space so they can feel safe and comfortable. I understand feline body language and know how to recognize signs of stress, which helps me adjust my approach to each cat’s individual needs. Whether that means sitting quietly nearby, offering gentle play, or simply providing care without forcing interaction, my goal is to build trust and create a low-stress experience. I want every cat to feel secure, respected, and cared for in their own way.

Statesville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $22.00. 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!
