Cat Sitting in Winston Salem, NC

Meow! I’m Ena, a local cat sitter based in Winston-Salem, serving the greater Triad area (Greensboro, High Point, and nearby areas). RECOVER Certified in Animal CPR & First Aid, and have spent 17 years being trained by my very “opinionated” senior cat.

I'm originally from Japan, and I've been a cat mom since high school, when I rescued a tiny FIV black kitten who had absolutely no intention of making my life easy! That was 17 years ago — and now, at 17 years old, she's still very much in charge! Daily meds, antibiotics, eye drops, even nose-suctioning — she's taught me more than any class could...

I'm originally from Japan, and I've been a cat mom since high school, when I rescued a tiny FIV black kitten who had absolutely no intention of making my life easy! That was 17 years ago — and now, at 17 years old, she's still very much in charge! Daily meds, antibiotics, eye drops, even nose-suctioning — she's taught me more than any class could. I also share my home with Uni, my playful young rescue kitten, proof that whether your cat is a mellow senior or a chaotic troublemaker, I've got the patience for both 🖤🖤

If your cat is older, medically complex, or a little extra — that's exactly my kind of cat. 🐱

How I work:
• Free meet & greet before every first booking to learn your cat's routine and your home
• Comfortable with a key, lockbox, or whatever works best for you
• Food, water, litter, playtime, cuddles, and enrichment every visit
• Photo and video updates after every single visit
• Medication support, plant watering, mail collection, and hairball cleanup as needed
• Overnight stays, plus weekend and holiday availability
• Serving Winston-Salem, Greensboro, High Point, and nearby areas — message me your zip and I'll confirm coverage

Tell me everything about your cat! The quirks, the favorite spots, the dramatic backstory. I'm here for all of it. Message me anytime!

Thank you, and lots of love and purrs!

Learn More About Ena

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most is building trust with each cat on their own terms! Every cat has a unique personality, and there’s nothing more rewarding than when a shy kitty finally decides you’re worthy of a slow blink or a belly show. I also love giving owners peace of mind while they’re away, knowing their babies are in good hands!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! Etsuko (17, FIV-positive, the boss of the house) and Uni (my chaotic young rescue, named after sea urchin). Caring for a senior cat with real medical needs every day is exactly why I trust myself with your special-needs or senior cat too.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I always start with a free meet & greet at your home, if possible. I want to learn your cat’s routine, favorite spots, and personality before you leave, and I always send photo updates after every visit so you never have to wonder how things are going!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Every cat and home in my care is treated as if it were my own. I always double-check that all doors and windows are securely locked before leaving, and I keep detailed records of each cat’s eating, drinking, and litter box habits, flagging anything unusual to the owner right away. I have also trained in Animal CPR & First Aid to be prepared for any emergency.

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

I let the cat set the pace. No forcing interaction. I move slowly, speak softly, and let them come to me when they’re ready. I believe patience is everything with nervous cats!

Ena is truly one of the best cat sitters we have ever had! We have 2 cats, one who can be a little ornery with new people, and another who often hides from sitters. Ena was able to get our shy little girl to come out of hiding and ask for pets after only her second day! Ena sent very detailed updates and lots of pics/videos of our kitties being loved like their owners. We will definitely be rebooking with Ena and highly recommend her to anyone needing a sitter!

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 $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 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!
