I’ve always loved cats and genuinely enjoy getting to know their unique personalities. I know every cat is different- some are playful, while others need more time to warm up. I’m caring, dependable and responsible, and I’ll treat your cat just like my own! Whether they need play time, cuddles, food, a clean litter box, some yummy treats or just some company while you are away. I will make sure your cat is comfortable and safe while you’re away:)

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

My experience with cat sitting is 5 years+, although I’ve had cats my whole 20 years. It’s one of my favorite activities to experience to meet new cats and cat parents:)

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I grew up with my first two cats, Tasha and Moosey! Two completely different personalities. One loved the attention while the other hid in my moms closet, and only liked her. Now we have Xander and Brady (named after Tom Brady), Xanders personality makes me laugh, he acts like he hates me but I’ve been told by my parents he sleeps in my room all the time. And Brady is the sweetest, most needy cat ever!

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy has to be the cat toy wands/teasers. I love when I see cats do somersaults it’s so fun to see how high they jump and can still manage to landing on both of their feet!


Medication Experience:

Topical Ointments Eye/Ear Drops Oral Medication / Pills

This week

Rachel did an amazing job taking care of my cat, Dandy. She made sure to spend time playing with her and giving her attention which my cat loves. She was really attentive to Dandy’s needs and clearly knows a lot about caring for cats. I felt completely comfortable knowing Dandy was in good hands while I was away. My cat can be a little shy around new people but she immediately warmed up to Rachel and trusted her which made me feel great. I will definitely use Rachel again.

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.

San Marcos cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $32.00. 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!
