Cat Sitting in Austin, TX

Hi!
I graduated from UT in 2021 and now live and work in the Domain.

I have walked many dogs and checked on many cats these past years on another platform in addition to serving private clients and looking after pets for family friends. I am new to Meowtel, but I have over 300 5-star reviews on the other platform.

I have had cats all my life and take great care of all my fur babies (my previous two cats lived into their twenties). Only one lives with me at the moment.

I have taken care of many cats while friends are away - they call me "the cat whisperer...

Every pet has their own distinct personality, and I'm looking forward to meeting yours!

I have a car, so transportation isn't a problem.

I used to do this full time, but since starting my new corporate job I have noticed a lack of puppy kisses and kitty fur. I’m available 6-7 A.M. and 6-10 P.M., with limited availability for lunch drop ins. I keep my radius small to ensure I have time to spend with your critters. I follow notes and plan my schedule carefully so that your pet gets the attention they need.

I follow all instructions provided and love your pet as if it were my own. I can provide lots of updates or just one a day, whatever sets you at ease!

Learn More About Grace

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

I have been catsitting professionally since 2019 and have completed over 1500 separate petcare bookings across multiple platforms. Prior to that, I would sit for friends’ pets.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have an 11-year old Manx/trash goblin named Stubbs. He is my world. He loves to snuggle and go on adventures with me.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I am usually available during holidays. I do get pretty booked, though, especially around Thanksgiving and Christmas, so please book early!

Grace is the best in Austin, hands down. My cat is really weird with people and when he was diagnosed with diabetes, I was worried about finding someone he would be comfortable with for taking shots. Grace absolutely knocked it out of the park and I could not be more grateful!

Grace did a wonderful job taking care of my senior diabetic cat. She went above and beyond including crawling under the bed to ensure that he got his medication. I was highly concerned about leaving him but she eased my fears and always maintained a positive attitude. We were able to enjoy a brief vacation knowing that our pets were well taken care of.

Grace is an awesome cat sitter. My two friendly cats loved her and I'm sure appreciated having someone spend time with them. She was great at letting me know when she arrived and sent tons of pictures.

Very communicative and patient as we figured out remote garage access and also some scheduling conundrums! A massive relief after I needed a last minute sitter before the holidays! She made even my shy cat feel comfortable! Would definitely book again

Grace was incredibly supportive and communicative. My cat loved her, and my cat is picky about people. She reached out regularly and sent me multiple photos every day. She also brought in a package and dripped my faucets for me during the freeze. She even left bowls out under them so the water wouldn’t be wasted! I plan to hire her every time I go out of town, and I couldn’t recommend her more to anyone looking for a sitter.

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!
