I'm Pauline

Cat Sitting in Arlington, TX

My name is Pauline, and welcome to my cat-sitting page. I’m truly honored that you’re considering me to care for one of the most important members of your family. I know how much trust it takes to let someone into your home and into your cat’s world, and I do not take that lightly.

About Me

I am a compassionate, detail-oriented cat sitter who genuinely loves caring for cats and creating a calm, safe environment for them while their people are away. While I do not come from a veterinary background, I bring a strong sense of responsibility, patience, cleanliness, and emotional awareness into every visit.

I understand that cats are not “one-size-fits-all.” Some are affectionate right away, some need space, some hide, some get anxious, and some need time before they decide you’re safe. I respect their boundaries and let them lead. My goal is never to force a connection, but to earn their trust gently and consistently.

I take pride in providing thoughtful in-home care that goes beyond the basics. To me, cat sitting is not just feeding and scooping litter...

About Me

I am a compassionate, detail-oriented cat sitter who genuinely loves caring for cats and creating a calm, safe environment for them while their people are away. While I do not come from a veterinary background, I bring a strong sense of responsibility, patience, cleanliness, and emotional awareness into every visit.

I understand that cats are not “one-size-fits-all.” Some are affectionate right away, some need space, some hide, some get anxious, and some need time before they decide you’re safe. I respect their boundaries and let them lead. My goal is never to force a connection, but to earn their trust gently and consistently.

I take pride in providing thoughtful in-home care that goes beyond the basics. To me, cat sitting is not just feeding and scooping litter. It is noticing the little things: whether your cat ate normally, whether their energy seems different, whether their water looks fresh, whether the home feels secure, and whether your cat seems emotionally comfortable.

Your cat’s care, safety, and routine will always be my priority.

Types of Cats I’m Comfortable Caring For

I’m comfortable caring for:

🐾 Shy or timid cats who need patience and gentle energy
🐾 Affectionate cats who love attention, cuddles, and companionship
🐾 High-energy cats who need playtime and stimulation
🐾 Senior cats who may need slower, softer care
🐾 Cats with specific feeding routines, supplements, or medications
🐾 Cats who need oral medication, if instructions are clearly provided
🐾 Multi-cat households with different personalities and needs
🐾 Cats who simply need calm, consistent care while you’re away

While I do not currently have advanced veterinary experience with injections, breathing treatments, or specialized medical care, I ask that instructions be discussed clearly in advance so I can determine whether I’m the right fit for your cat’s needs. If shown properly and given clear written instructions, I will follow your routine carefully and responsibly.

If your cat has special needs, medical needs, anxiety, or specific behavioral quirks, please mention those in your booking request so I can make sure I’m fully prepared.

Why Choose Me?

As someone who takes this work seriously, I understand that your cat is not “just a pet.” They are family. They are part of your home, your routine, and your heart.

My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I want you to feel confident knowing your cat is being cared for by someone who is attentive, gentle, respectful, and fully present during each visit.

I also care deeply about your home. I know I am entering your personal space, and I treat that with respect. I aim to leave things as clean, calm, and organized as I found them — or better.

Every visit includes communication, photos, and a thoughtful update so you know how your kitty is doing. I pay attention to details because I know those little details matter when you’re away from someone you love.

What’s Included in Each Visit

🍽️ Feeding Routine
I follow your cat’s feeding instructions carefully, whether they eat wet food, dry food, raw food, treats, toppers, or supplements.

💧 Fresh Water
I refresh water bowls and fountains so your kitty always has clean, appealing water available.

💩 Litter Care
I scoop litter, clean up scatter, and keep the litter area tidy. I can also follow instructions for litter boxes or automatic litter systems.

❤️ Affection, Play + Companionship
Whether your cat wants playtime, brushing, cuddles, quiet company, or simply space, I follow their lead and respect their comfort level.

📸 Updates + Photos
I send check-in/check-out messages, photos, and a detailed update so you feel connected and reassured while you’re away.

💊 Medication Support
I can assist with oral medications, supplements, or special routines when clear instructions are provided. For more advanced medical needs, I am open to learning if you are comfortable showing me exactly how your cat needs to be cared for.

🫧 Cleanliness + Home Respect
I treat your home with care. I clean up after feeding, litter, hairballs, or small messes and do my best to leave your space peaceful and tidy.

🔐 Safety First
I am mindful of doors, windows, home security, and keeping your cats safely indoors. Your cat’s safety is always my priority.

During the Meet & Greet

After you submit a request, we can schedule a Meet & Greet so I can learn more about your cat, their routine, personality, and any special instructions.

This is a great time for me to see where food, litter, medication, cleaning supplies, and emergency information are kept. It also gives your cat a chance to meet me before visits begin, without pressure.

I’ll ask questions, take notes, and make sure I understand exactly how you want your cat and home cared for.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile. I would love the opportunity to care for your kitty and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

With warmth and care,
Pauline

Learn More About Pauline

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

This answer is more geared to what sets me apart from others: I pay attention to the details. I don’t just rush in, feed, scoop, and leave. I notice the condition of the home, the litter area, the water, the food, your cat’s mood, and whether anything seems out of the ordinary. I care about leaving your cat comfortable and your home respected. My goal is for you to come back to a calm cat and a clean, peaceful space.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love interactive toys that encourage movement, curiosity, and connection between the cat and sitter. Two of my favorites are the ‘Cat Dancer’ and the ‘Nala Disc Launcher & Laser Cat Toy.’ ‘The Cat Dancer’ is simple but incredibly engaging because its unpredictable movement can mimic prey and encourage cats to chase, pounce, and play without being too overwhelming. The ‘Nala’ toy is another fun option for cats who enjoy more active play, as it encourages mental stimulation and physical activity through movement and visual engagement. I always choose toys based on the cat’s personality, energy level, and comfort. Some cats love active play, while others prefer gentle enrichment or quiet companionship. During visits, I pay close attention to body language and make sure playtime feels safe, positive, and fun for each individual cat.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I handle timid or anxious cats with patience, calm energy, and respect. I never force interaction or take it personally if a cat needs space. I know trust can take time, especially when a cat’s routine has changed or their person is away. I keep things as consistent as possible, move gently, speak softly, and pay close attention to body language. Even if a cat hides the whole visit, I still consider it successful if they feel safe, fed, and undisturbed.

Pauline is the best cat sitter I have had hands down. I went on a week long cruise with my family, and hired Pauline to take care of my cats. Between all of the pet sitters we hired across our various households we all agreed that Pauline was the best. She was extremely communicable. Everyday when she arrived I received a message that she was there, pictures of the litter boxes, and empty food bowls (as proof of life photos since kitties can be skittish and may not come out of hiding when a sitter visits). This was great so I could continue to monitor their food intake and outtake. She would then update with pictures of the clean boxes, and refilled food, as well as videos and pictures of the cats if they came out of hiding. She kept me updated on their water fountain, ensuring it stayed on and clean. And finally updated when she left. This gave me such great peace of mind that my cats were okay while I was gone! I knew that my kitties were well taken care of and loved having such detailed updates! She really took her time with my kitties, and let them move at their own pace. Booking a pet sitter online can feel like such a vulnerable thing. You are not just entrusting the care of your beloved cats, but also with access to your personal space. Pauline made this as comfortable as possible. I never once had to worry that she forgot or that she wasn't giving my cats the attention they needed. I would 100% book with Pauline again, and to anyone who made it to the end of this review you should to. You will not regret it!

Pauline did an excellent job taking care of our outside kitty who is not fond of humans! We are out in the country and I had a difficult time not only finding someone who understood outside cats but also someone who didn’t just use AI to write their bio. I was immediately impressed by Pauline’s profile and felt very confident about her abilities of cat care. We had a meet and greet first so she would know where everything was and she asked about kitty’s schedule. She was very communicative each day, letting me know when she was on her way and providing picture updates which made us all feel very comfortable with kitty’s care. She was here, every day, on time, rain or shine! She also provided cool water and showed genuine care for our funny little outside gremlin! A+ gold stars and definitely recommend her for any and all cat needs!

Pauline was very thorough and met my kitties needs while I was away for a week. my cat isn’t the friendliest and Pauline did her very best to make my her feel comfortable while I was away. I honestly couldn’t have asked for anything more. litter box was spotless, feeder and water tank were cleaned every day, and my baby was well fed. I received videos and pictures with updates every day.

Pauline is truly the most perfect cat sitter in the world! She went so far above and beyond in caring for my cats, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the very beginning, she was kind, communicative, and incredibly thoughtful. She sent the cutest updates and photos that completely put my mind at ease and made me smile every single day. It was so clear how much she genuinely cared about my cats. She even brought her own toys to play with them, which absolutely melted my heart. My cats adored her — honestly, I’m convinced they wish we had been gone longer just so they could spend more time with her! On top of that, she left everything spotless. Walking into a clean home after traveling was such a gift. Pauline is caring, attentive, reliable, and just a truly lovely person. I would trust her again in a heartbeat. If you’re looking for someone exceptional to care for your cats, Pauline is it. She’s incredible! 🐾💛

Pauline has done an exceptional job taking care of my little ones during my trip. She has sends great photos and provides descriptive updates on the status of the kitties. Pauline has followed all provided instructions and took the extra effort to tidy up the place to allow the cats to feel safe and comfortable. She even went above and beyond, staying longer then requested to ensure the wellbeing of my little ones. I highly recommend Pauline if you are looking for someone to take care of your kitties, and I definitely trust her to take care of mine in the future.

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.

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!
