Cat Sitting in Austin, TX

Hi! 👋 Alex here! I can't remember a time where I didn't share life with a cat - from birth on, they've been my furry companions!

I know how important pets are to you and how uneasy you can feel when you're away from them. I know this because I feel the same way when I leave my kitty babies behind from time to time. Let me put your mind at ease by taking the best care of them while you're away. I'll follow you and your cat's lead on the care they need and treat them like my own.

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 super nice and made me feel at ease about leaving my cat at home while on vacation. My cat is shy with strangers but Alex really made her feel comfortable. Alex sent pictures daily and a few videos. Great experience overall!

Alex was a fantastic sitter! She worked to gently find my very shy kitties to make sure they were ok, which helped me feel at ease and able to enjoy my vacation :) She communicated excellently with us, and was very thorough in caring for the kitties needs.

Alex was wonderful! She seemed to genuinely enjoy our cat as much as the cat enjoyed her visits. Came home to a happy camper. We loved the photo/video updates. Would definitely recommend her, and will be returning clients, for sure.

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.

  • More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.

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.

Austin 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 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!
