I’ve had cats my whole life and currently work in homes where even the most shy kitty will become quick friends. Whether your kitty is frisky, sweet or shy, I understand their needs. I can give space and let the kitty be themselves and understand what they may need. Whether that be petting, food, water, boredom relief, playtime, treats or cat nip. I laugh with these kitties and truly love your animal as my own. I am a cat parent and love being with cats all day. They are special creatures. I’ve worked in clients homes since 2002. I have many references and am your kitty’s trustworthy companion.

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.

Andrea is so thorough, thoughtful and professional. Suki was well cared for and I felt like I was always kept in the loop and communicated with. I never had to ask about status of anything, she was always on it. Great energy and a total pro. Thank you, Andrea!

Andrea was great! She sent me very descriptive notes of how each visit went and photos! I can always tell how the cat sitter was by my cat's behavior when I get home - he settled down with me (he is always angry to some point) really fast - a sure sign he was stimulated and socialized while I was gone. Andrea is wonderful - highly recommend her!

Response from Andrea

Caitlin was a great client! She was so kind and generous. Her cats are so cute and playful. Director kitty was using his paw to scoop water into his mouth.. what a silly goose. Thanks Caitlin for having me.

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!
