Cat Sitting in Austin, TX

Hi there! I live in North Austin and can travel around to surrounding areas to take care of your kitties. I’m passionate about their safety and happiness, and follow the parent’s instructions carefully. I currently have two snuggly void cats, one older and one younger. I’m a lifelong cat lover with over 30 years of experience taking care of cats, mostly my own. My cats are part of my family and I treat them as s... Hi there! I live in North Austin and can travel around to surrounding areas to take care of your kitties. I’m passionate about their safety and happiness, and follow the parent’s instructions carefully. I currently have two snuggly void cats, one older and one younger. I’m a lifelong cat lover with over 30 years of experience taking care of cats, mostly my own. My cats are part of my family and I treat them as such!

I know how hard it is to travel and leave your pets at home, and I have had experience with excelling sitters and terrible ones. I know first hand what it takes to be an excellent sitter and I’m committed to helping others like I would need help.

Since I’m that person at parties hanging out with your cat, you can rest assured that your babies are in good hands. I love making new cat friends!

Learn More About Vicky

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Currently I have two snuggly black cats. Sophie is 17 and opinionated, she is staring to have a bit more trouble getting around. She has become very vocal in her advanced years! I have little stairs that she used to get on furniture and scream until someone comes to hang out with her, lol. She loves to make you sit so she can sit on you (especially my hands or face!). Sam is almost 4 and is very playful. She chirps at you when she needs something and likes to walk across my laptop when I’m trying to use it. She loves to be held and rocked like a baby!

Are you usually available during holidays?

I usually have holiday availability as we don’t typically travel during holidays. We usually host a gathering of our own and save our traveling for off holidays!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

For particularly timid or anxious cats, I have always found that slow and quiet waiting is best to establish a relationship. Soft encouraging calls and treats at the parent’s approval also work, but what works best is being still and quiet and waiting with a treat close enough to get them used to me. Before you know it, we’re buddies!

Vicky is the most thoughtful, organized and professional sitter I’ve had (and that’s saying something bc I’ve used many different sitters and companies over 5 yrs). I’m amazed at how much time she took to understand both our needs. She even had a template she filled out by hand! I was very anxious to leave my kitty who needs to be pilled by hand and we’ve had traumatic experiences while I was out of town before. I’ve also had a previous sitter who listed that they were experienced with pill-ing but were unable to (I’m unsure why). but Vicky did a great job and I can tell how much she cared about making sure Sushi was comfortable with her. She provided consistent updates and went above and beyond to keep my kitchen clean (which I didn’t expect). I’m planning on scheduling with her for my next trip!

Vicky did a wonderful job caring for my 2 cats while I was out of town for a few days. She was very kind and professional at the meet and greet, taking thorough notes to be sure she knew everything they would need. She replied quickly to my messages and was gracious about a last minute schedule change. I really appreciated the daily updates and pictures. They were both comfortable and affectionate with her, even my little one that tends to hide from visitors! It gave me peace of mind to know they were so well taken care of. I would highly recommend her and plan to book her again in the future.

Vicky was absolutely great! She took such good care of my Tiny while we were on vacation, sending us updates and photos every visit. My cat is a little scaredy cat but was so affectionate towards her when she visited which speaks volumes for her care for him. Thanks to Vicky we were able to feel stress free on our vacation knowing our little furrball was well taken care of. I’ll definitely be back next time we need a sitter! 🩷🐱

This was my first time using Meowtel, or any service of its kind and I am SO glad I did. Vicky was amazing with our two babies for 6 days while we were on vacation. We had a small ant issue while we were gone and Vicky gladly took care of it every day. I will happily trust her again with our kitties and feel grateful to have found such a great caretaker for our babies. Book her! You will NOT regret it!

Vicky did a great job caring for my two kittens. She kept so well informed and provided plenty of photos which helped me miss them less. I look forward to having her back when I go away next.

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!
