I'm Claire | Cat Sitting in Austin, TX
I grew up with cats and have always had a special place in my heart for them! I volunteered with a cat shelter for several years in the geriatric department and am comfortable with cats with all types of demeanors. I have also been a cat sitter for several different families over the past decade. I am happy to sit for cats with any needs, whether they need lots of playtime, medications, or additional attention. I have experience administering medication for asthma, epilepsy, and AIDS as well. I work in person from about 8:30-4:30 Monday-Friday near the Domain, and am happy to swin...

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 :)

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 $29.00. 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.
