Cat Sitting in Nashville, TN
I enjoy keeping spaces clean and organized, and I know how beneficial this is for a cat’s wellbeing. I clean lit... I love getting to know each cat’s unique personality and building a genuine bond of trust and affection! I use a quiet voice, consistent routines, and positive reinforcement with treats, cuddles, and playtime to keep kitties calm, engaged, and happy.
I enjoy keeping spaces clean and organized, and I know how beneficial this is for a cat’s wellbeing. I clean litter boxes and food dishes daily to keep your cat safe and healthy!
Regular and clear communication is important to me! During our meet and greet, I will ask about your cat’s needs, preferences, and routines so that I can provide the best care possible. While I’m caring for your cat, I will send regular pictures and updates so that you can see how they’re doing!
Learn More About Tera
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have a sweet baby named Fiona at my parents’ house! She has been queen of the castle for 12 years and counting. I don’t currently have cats of my own, but my roommate has two, Barney and Margie, that I care for often when she is out of town. I love them dearly and look forward to getting the kitty snuggles all to myself!
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I am very careful while opening and closing doors, especially entry ways to the home! Cats can be little daredevils, so I make sure that they don’t have an opportunity to dart out of the house or sneak into a closet. I always keep exterior doors shut and locked, and I stay aware of my surroundings. Making sure your home stays safe and secure is a big priority to me!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Timid cats need time to feel safe when a new person is in their home, so I never force the first interaction. I gradually increase my proximity over time and use treats, toys, and lots of pets to build trust!

Tera was EXCELLENT - dependable, trustworthy, and took great care of my senior cat. I love when I can leave town and not have to worry! My cat usually takes a while to warm up to strangers, but he immediately liked her and was asking to be patted in no time. She sent updates and pictures, and communication was great! I will definitely schedule with Tera 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.
Nashville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!

Tera has taken care of my cars the last 5 years and she is exceptional. I never have to worry about my cats while I’m away because I know Tera follows all of my care instructions, and still manages to go above and beyond. She is well experienced in administering medication to my older diabetic cat, and makes time to pet, play, and spend time with my kitties because she loves them. She’ll even send pictures of them being sweet! Tera is truly the best cat sitter I’ve ever had.

I’ve known Tera for almost 4 years now and can say with confidence that she is one of the most caring, trustworthy, and responsible people I know. She loves all animals, but has a special affinity for cats. She’s incredibly patient, observant, and attentive to the specific needs and personalities of the cats in her care. She has experience looking after cats that require more specialized care, such as my cat who has extreme allergies or our friend’s cat, Barney, who is diabetic. Whether administering daily medicine or maintaining feeding schedules, you can rely on Tera to handle your cat’s specialized needs.
