Learn More About Alex

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My current kitty companion is Shebie, a 3-year old tabby, who I rescued from the woods as a kitten. My senior cat, Cozmo, just recently passed after 19 amazing years together (he had been with me since I graduated high school).

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

First, I want to know what you'd like out of the cat-sitting experience. I'm here to put your mind at ease! Ideally, I would love to do a meet and greet first to foster familiarity and get acquainted with one another.

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

It's all about patience, slow movement, and a reassuring voice. And the occasional treat never hurts. My cat, Shebie, is very timid and skittish, so I have direct experience with cats who are a bit on the anxious side. Above all, I'll take you and your kitty's lead on how best to make them feel as comfortable as possible. It's all about building trust in the unique ways your cat responds to.

Alex was totally amazing with our shy boys. She won their affection with calm and patience, respected their comfort zones, and became besties with them in under a week! She sent pics and vids, and was great about communicating updates every day. She's definitely the one for us!

Alex is consistently responsive and attentive. We’ve had to deal with flight delays a few times and asked her to extend her sit last minute and she never hesitated.

Alex always goes above and beyond, she's excellent at communicating and keeping me updated on my girls. This is my 4th time (I believe) booking Alex and I will absolutely be doing it again for my next outing.

Alex went above and beyond to make my cat feel safe/entertained and help me feel at-ease while I was away from home. She was thoughtful with logistics and communicative. I reccomend Alex to anyone looking for a kittysitter and I hope to book her again next time I need to be away from home.

What can I say, Alex is such a godsend for our two kitties. To say she goes above and beyond is to say nothing. She truly treats them like her own.

Frequently Asked Questions

Austin cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
