Learn More About Alanna

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My cats are named Oliver and Poppy. Ollie is a very big boy and was a foster fail who I just couldn't say no to. Poppy is a timid little princess but loves to play and get her belly rubbed.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love da rat brand toys, my cats go absolutely crazy for them! They're so realistic and the thing they have that other toys don't is the smell. They smell like real animals, which triggers the hunting instinct of even the most lazy cat. I personally like the bird and mouse toys the most.

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

I give them the space to approach me on their terms. Chasing an anxious cat only makes it more anxious, the best way to get a skittish cat to trust you is to pretend you aren't interested in them and let them come to you. (A treat or two doesn't hurt either).

Alanna did a great job checking on our cat while we were out of town for a week, making sure she stayed fed with plenty of water and a clean litter box. We loved the videos that she sent us! My husband I both really appreciated her flexibility and responsiveness to our messages! We would definitely use Alanna again in the future!

Alanna is a compassionate, enthusiastic, and experienced animal care-taker. She helped me take care of all 6 of our fosters and was instrumental in bringing them out of their shells in a new environment. She cares deeply about the well-being of the animals in her care, I highly reccomend her!

Alanna watched my cats for three weeks while I was out of the country. She already knew that cat sitting is more than filling food bowls and cleaning litter boxes, and was excited to spend quality time playing with them and just being near them for a few hours each day. The night before my flight, we took my cat to the emergency vet -- it turned out she had a UTI. I have never dealt with this with a cat before, and I was on the verge of cancelling my flight, but Alanna reassured me that she would take great care of my cats, and she did! She made sure to apply medicated wipes and give me daily updates, plus she requested the emergency vet's number just in case.

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 $26.00. 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel has been background-checked and reviewed. Every Meowtel reservation may come 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 may come with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
