I'm Chio
Cat Sitting in Hixson, TN
I never rush a new friend... I'm Chio, a dedicated cat lover who treats every client's pet like my own. I grew up with stray cats and currently run a multi-cat household: I have my senior girl (14 years old) and my two active youngsters (2 and 1 year old), so I’m used to managing a wide range of needs and personalities! My goal is simple: to make sure your cat is safe, happy, and sticks to their routine so you can enjoy your time away worry-free. I truly love meeting new cats, hearing their owners brag about them, and taking the time to understand their unique quirks.
I never rush a new friend. I understand that a cat needs space to warm up on their own terms (my own cats, are cautious with new people, so I get it!). I focus on giving gentle space and positive interaction until they decide it’s time for a head boop.
Reliable Availability: My schedule reliably allows for morning and afternoon visits, ensuring your cats never miss their two main meals or a check-in.
Proactive Pet Safety: I constantly monitor the cats for subtle changes in behavior (lethargy, hiding, low appetite) and will immediately secure any potential hazards, before or during my visit.
Updates: I'm happy to provide regular updates and photos during my visits—just let me know your preferred frequency (twice daily or one consolidated update)!
Let me know if you have any questions about me, thank you!

Hixson 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!
