I'm Austen | Cat Sitting in Sacramento, CA
Hi, my name is Austen and I am 28 years old. I would love the opportunity to care for your furry, fanged family member. Since I was a young boy, I've always had love and compassion for animals. I have owned three cats over the course of my life including a wild Bengal cat Mooshu, a standard issue cat named Toby, and currently I have a very special Seal Point Siamese girl named Skye. We also have a sweet 10 year old Yorkshire terrier named Oliver that loves his big sister that he helped us raise. I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats including several months long periods. I go beyond just feeding them and changing the litter, I really take my time to make sure they are mentally and physically stimulated. Additionally I want to thoroughly respect your home and rules i.e. make sure that I take my shoes off, turn the lights off and lock the doors. Other work: I...

Austen's Reviews
Manogjna
I recently had to leave my cats, Salem and Sabrina, at home for an extended period for the first time, and I was quite anxious about it. Thankfully, Austen was there to take care of them, and he truly went above and beyond. He kept me updated daily with videos and pictures, which eased my worries and allowed me to enjoy my time away. Not only did he take great care of my kitties, but he also took the time to deep clean the litter box and even fixed a cabinet that needed repair while he was at my place. Austen is truly a great human and a fantastic cat sitter. I highly recommend him to anyone who needs someone reliable and caring to look after their pets.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sacramento cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.
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.
