Cat Sitting in Austin, TX
My name is Bri, and I am a former cat mama and kitty lover. I had an amazing cat for a little over 16 years - Cat Von D, AKA Grandma. Sadly she passed away a couple of years ago due to a brain tumour.
We had an amazing little life together, with my dogs as well, and one of the more difficult but fulfilling parts was making sure she was comfortable and happy during her final year. So, I ha... Hi there!
My name is Bri, and I am a former cat mama and kitty lover. I had an amazing cat for a little over 16 years - Cat Von D, AKA Grandma. Sadly she passed away a couple of years ago due to a brain tumour.
We had an amazing little life together, with my dogs as well, and one of the more difficult but fulfilling parts was making sure she was comfortable and happy during her final year. So, I have experience with senior kitties and with some illnesses. I’ve also fostered and bottle fed a few tiny kittens as well. (the cuteness overload is so real)
Would love to help out cat parents with peace of mind about their fur babies, especially while travelling which can also be stressful to begin with!
And I of course miss my cat very much - it would be lovely to just be around some kitties again!
Learn More About Briana
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve been here on Meowtel for a year and a half now and I’ve met so many amazing fur babies! I also often cat sit for friends, and have been since I was a kid when I used to cat and pet sit for neighbours, so off & on for at least 20 years or so.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love reporting back to owners with pictures and/or stories. I know how stressful it can be to find really good, trustworthy pet care so I like to help ease any anxiety people may have about their fur babies while they are away. I also obviously just love cats and their personalities, and truly all animals!
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
I was cat sitting for one of my best friend’s kitties - shoutout Zuzu the cat - and in my friend’s nerves to leave her by herself, she sat out a few day’s worth of food for her. Of course I went to check on her Day One, and Zuzu was stuffing her face with all the food! She was really going to town, and ate almost the entire few days’ worth! I was alarmed at first and pulled all the food up and hung out for the day to watch her - she was totally fine, just with a big stuffed belly and she was SO sleepy snoozy. Once I knew she was fine, it was actually so hilarious and my friend and I still laugh about it to this day.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I usually am! I tend to stay in town and have very lowkey holiday celebrations with friends, and/or teach a special holiday fitness class. But I tend to have above-average holiday availability!
What is your favorite cat toy?
Da Bird cat toy! I feel like every cat I’ve ever known has so much fun with that thing. Or simply hair ties, my cat used to absolutely love playing with those.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I let cats come to me, and never force them. I’ve watched kitties who didn’t want to come out of the covers or from under the bed, and I’ll just talk to them gently and leave treats out for them so they know I come in peace! I don’t mind waiting as long as needed to win them over. :)

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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!

Briana is one-of-a-kind. She’s extremely trustworthy, loyal, and one of the biggest lovers of animals I’ve ever met. She exceeds any and all expectations when it comes to watching my animals. I always know they will come home healthy, happy, and with full hearts. She’s someone who goes and above and beyond when she watches my animals. I always know my pets are in good hands anytime Bri is available to watch them. They also love her so much!
