Eric did an incredible job taking care of our kitties while we were away. Eric spent time trying to make our shy cat feel more comfortable. We also received daily photos and messages. Eric was wonderful and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone needing care for their cats.

We have had Eric take care of out cats twice now. He always sends great picture and even won over our most shy cat. We will definitely try to schedule with Eric whenever we go out of town.

Eric's attention to detail for my two cats was excellent. His daily reports were so charming and included reassuring information that they were doing well, being cared for, and developing a bond with Eric. I looked forward each morning to the dispatches from home! I came home to two well-fed and peaceful cats after a week away. I can highly recommend Eric!

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.
Winston Salem cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!
