Learn More About Emma
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I grew up around cats. We always had cats over dogs in my household, so I’ve had direct experience with them from an early age. I’m 41 now, and aside from the two years after my beloved cat Mikey passed, I’ve rarely been without a cat in my life. I’ve frequently stepped in to sit for my friends’ cats, and have experience from the shy and hidden to the fierce and vicious.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Providing peace of mind for anxious cat parents. I know how nervous I get when I’m out of town and my kiddens are in a stranger’s hands. I love being able to assure them that their babies are well-taken care of and will be happy to see them when they get home.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
We have three now! They’re siblings and they fight like it. We have two girls and a boy. The girls are tortie, and the boy is orange; his name is Habanero, the smaller girl is Coco, and her sister, the leader of the siblings, is Sally Reed. (She’s named after a character from a TV show. Both are total divas).

Emma is fantastic! She came over to meet our kitties before our trip and watched them for nearly two weeks! She sent extremely detailed updates with photos and videos. She took every mess and curveball our cats threw out her like a champ - including one of our cats that decided he was too good for the litter box while we were gone 🤦🏽♀️ It was so clear to see that our kitties grew to love and appreciate her! We have very needy cats 😅, and it was evident that she gave special attention to each of them. I’m so grateful to Emma for caring for our babies. It meant the world to know they were in such great hands. We’ll definitely be using Emma again in the future! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Emma was incredibly patient with our less-than-friendly cat. She is a good problem solver and communicator. We appreciated her photos and videos too.

Emma was wonderful with our cat and sent a lot of pictures. Our cat made a big mess with his feeder and she cleaned up the mischief and documented the crime scene. She is a great communicator and is super sweet.

my cat is kind of a demon but Emma handled her visits really well. She executed our tactics to calm down the cat and showed great patience with my aggressive cat while getting all the jobs done. I would continue working with Emma again in the future!

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 $25.00. 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!
