Cat Sitting in Austin, TX
When I visit, my goal is to make your cat feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to spend time playing, g... Hi! I’m Lauren, and I’ve been a cat person for as long as I can remember. I grew up with cats and currently have a cat of my own, so I know just how much our furry friends become part of the family. I’m comfortable with cats of all personalities, whether they’re playful and social or prefer to take some time to warm up.
When I visit, my goal is to make your cat feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to spend time playing, giving pets and cuddles, refreshing food and water, cleaning litter boxes, and giving your cat plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also make sure to keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident that your kitty is in good hands.
I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with cats. I’d love the opportunity to meet your furry friend and give them the same care and attention I’d want someone to give my own cat!
Learn More About Lauren
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I enjoy getting to know each cat’s unique personality, giving them love and attention, and making sure they feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I also love getting some playtime and cuddles in whenever they’re interested!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I grew up with a childhood cat named Polo, and I now have my own cat named Luna! I absolutely adore them both and love being around cats.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I have experience with anxious and timid cats through my own cat, Luna. I understand that every cat has a different personality, so I’m patient and give them plenty of space and time to feel comfortable. I never force interaction and instead let them approach me when they’re ready. I use a calm voice, gentle movements, and positive attention to help build trust. I’m happy to follow each cat’s routine and their owner’s instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while I’m there.

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!
