Learn More About Alayna

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

I've been cat sitting since I was in college, and have been a sitter with Meowtel for 3 years now! I've watched cats of all ages from kittens to 19 year old ladies, taken care of households with as many as 8 cats, and even watch a bearded dragon from time to time!

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

I have done over 400 reservations and have had less than five where the cats did not come out for me. I truly mean it when I say even the most stubbornly shy cats warm up to me! Basically, I let them set the pace. I find their hiding spot, get on their level, and while giving them space, I talk to them in a soft voice. I never pull them out or encroach on their personal space. When they do come up to me, I let them smell my forehead (weird, but it works!). Even if they are hissing, I remain calm and let them explore.

This is the second trip where Alayna watched my two kitties for me and she has done a great job both times! Both kitties like her, including one who is very shy. Everything is always taken care of and the updates are prompt so I never have to wonder about my girls. I’ll definitely book with Alayna next time!

Alayna is wonderful! Our kitty is extremely shy and wary of strangers, but she actually played with Alayna AND let her pet her a bit! 🤯 We received loads of photos and updates, and Alayna was very proactive with her care. We’ll definitely book her again!

Alayna is my favorite cat sitter, hands down. I always feel so much better leaving my senior cat, Pearl, under her care. Pearl’s litter box habits have changed due to some kidney issues, and she’s very picky about getting it cleaned multiple times a day. Alayna always does a great job keeping it as empty and tidy as possible. Pearl is also pretty unfriendly to strangers, but will still hang out in a room with Alayna. This may sound like it isn’t a big deal, but it is! It took a year to get her to do that with my parents. Alayna gives thorough updates of every visit and takes great photos to let me know my baby is okay. She also watched my parents’ cat and went above and beyond to help look out for a different neighborhood cat who’d gotten loose.

Alayna is absolutely wonderful. She has watched my cat twice now, including during a recent week-long vacation, and she's also watched my mom's cat. She is a true animal lover who wants to connect with any kitty she watches. My cat Pearl is super shy, but Alayna got her to play (more than I usually do) and helped reduce her anxiety while I was away. Alayna always sends a photo of Pearl with her report for each visit — she takes way better pics than I do — and I come home to a well-fed cat, a clean litter box, and the trash taken out. She also went above and beyond during the recent Austin ice storm, cleaning ice off her car to ensure she made it to my baby, checking that our power didn't go out, and helping troubleshoot my internet. I trust Alayna wholeheartedly with my cat's wellbeing, and I hope to book her repeatedly in the future!

Reservation went very well. Alayna preemptively reached out to me to schedule a meet up. That was very helpful because I was quite busy getting ready for my trip. She was good with the cat. As it turned out, Austin experienced the great ice storm of ‘23 while we were gone. Even though travel was treacherous, she made it to every visit, even though I told her the neighbors could step in if necessary. She reported on my power, which really eased our mind while we were gone. Our cat was calm and happy when we got home.

If I could give Alayna more than 5 ⭐️s I would. I went to London for 9 days and she watched Jack and Violet. She’s sat for them twice before so I felt very comfortable, but this is my longest trip away from Violet ever and my longest from Jack since before COVID. Traditionally, Jack struggles with long separations. He tends to scratch a bloody spot on his ear or stop eating. Twice, I’ve had to come home early because his hunger strikes were so bad. He and Violet do great with Alayna! No hunger strikes and no self harm! He gets tons of attention and affection and clearly feels safe and happy. He misses me, but not to the point that he’s anxious which is such a relief for me. Alayna even downloaded an app specifically to be able to send me pictures and updates in the UK and checked in the day of my flight home to be sure I didn’t need anything else. She’s the best and it makes my vacation that much better knowing my babies are in such good hands! 😻💜

Alayna was so communicative and easy to work with. She was great with our cats and we were confident they were well cared for while we were out of the country.

Alayna is reliable, caring and always going above and beyond for our kitties. This is our second time working with Alayna and we’ve had great experience both times. She even helped to bring some of our packages into the house!! We recommend Alayna 1000%!

My cats warmed up to Alayna faster than they have to any other sitter. She gave me a detailed report and photo every day and even went out of her way to tidy up a little bit while I was gone. Alayna is the best and I'll definitely be working with her again!

Alayna was amazing! She came by to get the key and to go over our routine. She took notes, even though I was leaving a whole list of instructions. She sent me daily photos of my cats including play time. They were very spoiled! She even got my shy cat to come out to play and be brushed. Violet has never come out for anyone before, so this was a major accomplishment! I felt very comfortable knowing Alayna was watching Jack & Violet and will absolutely use her again.

Alayna was great! She was prompt, responsive, friendly, punctual, flexible and responsible. Everything we could have wished for! Oh, and my cats seemed to love her. She's quite the talented cat photographer, too. We look forward to hiring her again next time we leave town.

Alayna was great with our cats, and she communicated with us throughout the visits. She was also very considerate of our shy kitty that was hiding during her visits and won her over by the end. I’ll be booking with her again when I need to travel.

Alayna was the purrfect choice to watch my cat while out of town 3 days. She sent photos and details of each visit. My cat is leery of any strangers and Alayna gave her the space until she eventually came around to her. I appreciated her sincere and caring thoughtfulness in everything she did. I will use her again. Belli has a new friend.

Alayna was professional, courteous, and excellent at communicating with me - and she took wonderful care of my cat! I felt that she cared about him and took extra time to get to know him so he felt more secure with me gone. She provided daily pictures of my cat/his setup, was quick to respond to messages, and addressed my cat's needs proactively. I plan on using Alayna's services in the future and I recommend her to others!

Alayna was awesome! We left our kitties for a week and had her do daily visits. She was super consistent with sending photos every other day, and sent updates every day she went! She played with our cats, kept their litter boxes clean, and even kept our little basil plant alive! Thank you! 😻

Frequently Asked Questions

Austin cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
