I'm Keyra | Cat Sitting in Austin, TX

Hi friends. I'm Kay, a life long cat owner and admirer. I have also been a cat groomer for the past 8 years, and cat sitter for the past 5. I am Fear-Free and Pet CPR certified. I'm a naturally calm and compassionate person, who understands that each cat has their own unique personality, interests...

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

One of the first families to hire me when I moved to Austin. At that time they had one cat who was still very young, less than a year old. She was extremely cuddly and playful. They soon after got her a playmate, who unfortunately had to undergo some medical treatments. I sat them both, through her medical treatments, and she is doing great now. They are both big girls now, and although they're not as cuddly as other cats, I still feel very blessed when they allow me to cuddle them briefly. They love to play together and I'm so happy they have one another. (The family also has a dog and a baby now, so watching the family grow has been very sweet.)

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Cats may seem easy to care for, but they are also sensitive animals with very unique personalities. Always meet your sitter and evaluate whether they have the experience, knowledge and reliability your cat deserves.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I prefer to do an in person meet and greet when at all possible, though I can do them via video or phone call. I ask lots of questions regarding the cats typical behavior, health and play preferences. I make sure to get detailed instructions for feeding, and find out where cleaning supplies are. If in person, I like that the pet and parent can get a feel for me as well; I think this can calm some anxiety when traveling. I can also get a feel for the cat and home, and can ensure a safe and secure environment for them and myself alike.

I have known Keyra for 4 years and she is extremely caring towards all animals. She was a very reliable and trustworthy employee. I would trust her to watch my own pets any day!

Keyra has been my go-to pet sitter and caretaker for over 4 years. The peace of mind she provides me, whenever I need to go out of town and leave my cat at home, is invaluable. She's prompt, communicative and respectful when it comes to providing care in my house. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to any anxious pet parents.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

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 $27.00. 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.
