Cat Sitting in Austin, TX

I grew up around cats of all sizes, ages, and levels of domestication. From feral kittens straight from my grandparents ranch, to high end cats with delicate health issues with regimented food, medication, or grooming schedules. I have seen all ages and loved every single one. To be trusted ... I grew up around cats of all sizes, ages, and levels of domestication. From feral kittens straight from my grandparents ranch, to high end cats with delicate health issues with regimented food, medication, or grooming schedules. I have seen all ages and loved every single one. To be trusted by a cat is to be luckily chosen by one. I’ve been bitten and scratched to this day and love every little furry angel I come across no matter what. I will care for your baby as if my own and will happily send 1,000 pictures along every visit. Thank you for trusting me with your sweet angel!

Alexandra did great with my kitties. This was my first time leaving them for a whole week and she was very understanding, quick to communicate, flexible, sent pictures, and always asked if there was anything else she could do for me. Next time I leave the state I will definitely be reaching out.

Usually, when I walk through the door from along trip, the cats are all over me 😂 This time they acted like I had interrupted THEIR vacation. Even the skiddish one seemed to warm up to Alex. That's the benefit of leaving them in the care of a cat person. 👍

Alexandra was an absolute dream!! She went above and beyond for me and my cats, and even got my cat who is scared of EVERYONE to emerge for some cuddles! She was communicative, professional, and reliable every step of the way. If you are looking for someone to care for your kitties with the same love that you do while you are away, you should absolutely book Alexandra!

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 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 Meet & Greet!
