Learn More About Claire
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I love to do meet and greets just so the cat can meet me and I can go over the care with the owner and ask any questions in the moment. I always send pictures for every visit and be sure to give an update on how the cats are doing! My goal is to make sure both the owner and the cat feel as comofortable as possible.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I always take a cautious approach to anxious/timid cats. I like to sit in the room with them and try to bring them out of their shell, but I also respect some cats do not want to be social. Whatever demeanor your cat has, I am happy to work with!

I highly recommend Claire! She took great care of my two cats and sent sweet photos of them and blurbs about them every day. She even spent more time with my cats on the first evening to give them some emotional support, because they were sad that we had left for our trip. She even charmed my more shy cat! She went above and beyond by bringing our cans in from the curb. We will definitely ask her to cat sit again!

Claire was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time leaving my baby girl with someone new, and I was a bit nervous. My kitty is shy around new people, and usually just hides during visits. On only the second visit, she was comfortable with Claire and came out to talk with her. Claire sent updates every day as soon as she was here and was very kind and patient with my cat. I’ve already booked Claire for another visit!

Claire did an amazing job with my two cats. She understood their personalities and updated me daily with playful banter. She even captured some special moments on camera that made me literally laugh out loud.

Claire was a fantastic sitter for our two cats. She was able to charm our extremely shy senior lady, and our younger, usually aloof and sassy girl was social and sweet with Claire. Not all cat sitters get this type of behavior from our cats so that shows me they really liked her! She communicated with us at each feeding and provided great pictures. We would definitely book with Claire again!

Claire was wonderful taking care of our cat Finn and his home. Thanks to Claire's regular updates we were able to leave the country without worrying about Finn. He is particular about humans but Claire won him over with pets and kibbles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- 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 $25.00. 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!

Claire took good care of my cat while I was out of town for a few days. When I arrived home, he was happy and content. My cat is very shy around strangers, but I feel that Claire's calm and caring demeanor was soothing for my cat.
