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!

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.

This was our first time getting a sitter for our cat and Claire made it amazing! We did the overnight package and she made us feel very comfortable. She provided pictures with updates each morning and night and allowed us to not worry and enjoy our vacation :)

Brianna

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.

Claire was a great caretaker to my fur baby. While Aditi is pretty social, She does like to run around a lot and I could tell Claire helped her expend her many energies. I will definitely use Claire again and would recommend her to anyone else!

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.

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.
