Cat Sitting in Nashville, TN
I understand that cats thrive on routine, so I make it a priority to follow your instructions closely and keep their environment as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, refreshing water, litter box maintenance, administering basic medications, and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health... Hi! My name is Tekarria, and I’m a reliable, patient, and attentive cat sitter who truly enjoys caring for cats of all personalities. I have hands-on experience caring for my own cat as well as fostering with Pawster Nashville, which has helped me understand different behaviors, temperaments, and care needs. Whether your cat is playful, shy, anxious, or more independent, I take the time to approach them gently, respect their space, and build trust at their pace.
I understand that cats thrive on routine, so I make it a priority to follow your instructions closely and keep their environment as consistent and stress-free as possible. I’m experienced with feeding schedules, refreshing water, litter box maintenance, administering basic medications, and monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. I also enjoy engaging cats with interactive play using wand toys, laser pointers, and enrichment activities to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. Safety and communication are very important to me. In my own home, I use pet cameras to monitor movement and ensure pets are safe at all times, and I bring that same level of awareness and attentiveness to every visit. I double-check doors, windows, and entry points to ensure your home stays secure. During each visit, I provide detailed updates along with photos so you always know how your cat is doing and can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and make sure everything is left exactly as I found it. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and positive experience for your cat while giving you peace of mind. I’m available for evening visits during the week and offer flexible, all-day, and overnight care on weekends, with more availability opening in May. If you’re looking for a dependable sitter who will treat your cat like their own, I would love to help!
Learn More About Tekarria
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I started by fostering kitties with Pawster! When pet parents had difficult times taking care of their pets, I volunteered to take care of their pets until they could be reunited!
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love seeing all of their individual personalities! I also love seeing how smart and clever they are. Also when playing the little butt wiggle is the funniest.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have one kitty named Obito! He’s very gentle and loves to play. My favorite thing about him is that he loves cuddles and is a huge PURR machine!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
I would recommend choosing a sitter who has real experience with cats and understands their behavior, since cats can be very sensitive to changes. Look for someone reliable, communicative, and patient who will follow your routine closely. It’s also important to choose a sitter who provides updates, so you feel comfortable and know your cat is being well cared for.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
My process starts with getting to know you and your cat’s routine, personality, and any special needs. I like to do a meet and greet if possible to make sure your cat feels comfortable. During visits, I follow your instructions closely, provide care, and send updates with photos so you feel at ease. My goal is to keep your cat’s routine consistent and stress free.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I prioritize safety by carefully following all instructions provided and keeping doors and windows secure at all times. I double check locks when entering and leaving, and I’m mindful of anything that could pose a risk to your cat. I also keep a close eye on your cat’s behavior and environment, and I provide regular updates so you always know everything is safe and going well.
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, I am usually available during holidays, as I understand that this is when many people need reliable care the most. I recommend booking in advance since holiday spots can fill up quickly, but I do my best to accommodate requests whenever possible
What is your favorite cat toy?
One of my favorite cat toys is a wand toy with feathers or strings because it keeps cats active and engaged. I also like using laser pointers for quick play sessions, and I always make sure to end with a physical toy so they feel satisfied
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I handle timid or anxious cats with patience and respect for their space. I move slowly, keep a quiet environment, and let the cat approach me on their own terms. I stick closely to their routine and use gentle play or treats if they’re comfortable, helping build trust over time.

Tekarria took great care of our fur baby while we were away for an extended weekend. We loved the updates she provided and we can tell she got plenty of love and attention while we were gone. Our cat was clearly well loved and house left tidy.

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!
