Learn More About Andrea

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have references going back to 2002 for cat sitting and working in client’s homes. I have owned cats my whole life and understand cats better than any other creature. And now I have clients from Meowtel to confirm I am legit and love my clients and their cat(s).

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is cats are funny and they all are super easy to understand once you know their personality. They are fun to be around even the finicky ones are fun to be get to know and care for.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat reservation is when I have multiple cats in the house. One is frisky and one is shy. The girl kitty wants to stay under the bed but I got her to trust me and pet her. She has a cute quiet meow and is super soft. The other cat is a boy and he is big like a Bob cat. He likes to play and eat his can food. Climb his tower and be the king cat. Overlooking his kingdom. They are a funny bunch.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Chestnut is my girl cats name. She is a rescue from Paws Shelter and she is my frisky, soft short queen. She feels safe with me. I’ve had to deal with her urinary tract issues so she has filtered water and uti preventative food. She is a very important part of our family.

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

My advise is to give me as much information about the cat(s) so I can give them the best care and understand their feline. All cats are special to me. I understand them and talk to them.

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

I get to know the cat and sit quietly with the shy ones and blink slowly so they know I love them and give the best care.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I am congnicent of the doors being shut if the cat can’t go outside and I make sure the home is safe.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes I can be available for holidays. Just need notification so I can prepare. I have a young family but am mostly always in town.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is the string attached with feathers, springs are fun too! Most cats go crazy for it or the ball or mouse that wiggles on its own.

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

I sit quietly with them and speak sweetly to the shy ones and let them know their parents sent me to love and care for them. They can be themselves and I’m patient. I get their fav food or treats and tell the cat their parents sent me and will be back soon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Austin cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
