Emily takes exceptional care of our fur baby. She sends detailed updates and goes above and beyond. I always trust that he’s in good hands with her.

Emily was amazing! my cat is extremely shy and didn’t come out much, but she went out of her way to make him feel comfortable and even left him some new toys. I felt very comfortable with her taking care of my little guy!

Emily took great care of my two kitties while away for a week. She went above and beyond to play with my more confident kitty and worked diligently to gain confidence and also play with my very shy kitty. The pics and videos she sent let me know they were doing well the entire time and I couldn’t have asked for more.

Emily is amazing! It is such a good feeling knowing our kitties are in good hands with her. Super responsive, sends great photos, and loves to play with our very energetic Bo and Birdie. They are always so excited to see her. We love Emily!

I’ve been one of Emily’s clients for about a year, and she’s been the best cat sitter I’ve ever worked with. I have an elderly cat and I feel comfortable with Emily taking care of her when I’m gone.

Emily's exceptional care for our Phil, was truly remarkable during our month-long trip! She went above and beyond to ensure Phil's well-being, sending daily updates with photos. Her attention to detail and thoughtfulness were evident as she even brought over toys for Phil to enjoy. Emily's dedication and love for our furry family member made our vacation worry-free. We couldn't be more grateful for her outstanding service! Highly recommend Emily for any pet sitting needs.

Bradley
We've just returned from our family trip, making this the 4th time we've hired Emily to watch our very elderly and medically fragile cat Marcus over the past year. We've been more than 100% satisfied every time, as she has not only provided consistently excellent care, but has truly gone above and beyond in dealing with a couple of situations that arose during our times away. Emily has been just great for us and we feel very grateful and fortunate to have found her.

Emily was great. it was my first time hiring a cat sitter so I was a bit hesitant but everything went smoothly. Emily was punctual and attentive to my cats needs. she even left some treats to hide their medications in which I didn’t even know existed. Would definitely hire her again.

Emily took such good care of my furbabies. One of which requires daily medication so it was so nice to receive daily updates with photos. Every morning my mind was put as ease when I received Emily’s text checking in. I’ll definitely be using Emily’s services in the future.

Cannot recommend Emily enough. She took great care of Panko who needed to be medicated with insulin and pills in the morning and evening. She updated and communicated every day and sent pictures as well. I felt like Panko was in good hands while I was on my trip!

Emily came over to meet Inara a for a first-time meet and greet. She's very professional and respectful throughout the entire week for our cat. Daily pictures and some video were sent to keep us on top of the situation. We will definitely request Emily again for future appointments!

Emily went above and beyond while cat-sitting for my two cats. She was extremely thoughtful and helpful and I felt so great knowing she was taking such good care of my kitties. I was so happy to see both cats (even my shy one) clearly enjoyed her company in photo updates Emily sent. Great communication, true caring for the cats. Highly recommend!

Emily went out of her way to encourage my shy kitties out of hiding to play and engage. One actually did come out to play with her each visit. She also provided timely updates and photos. It was great to know my cats were in good hands.

Valeri
This review is long overdue. Emily has sat for my fur babies twice and for two weeks at a time each time. She is great! I usually go away for two weeks or more when I leave town. Sometimes I got to out of state to stay with family and work remotely. If cats were better travelers, I'd take them with me, but I don't like to shake up their world like that. Even though I have an automatic feeder, a fountain, and litter robot just in case the sitter can't make it, Emily came every day without fail to give them treats and love. She even won over my spicy, grumpy cat Lucy (the treats helped). I highly recommend and will continue to have her take care of my kitties in the future.

Emily was great to work with! She came over to meet Waffles before we were away and took good care of him while we were gone. We even got cute pictures every day to see how he was doing! Thank you, Emily!

Emily did a wonderful job! We were nervous about leaving our 😺 but Emily tended to his medical issues and truly cared for him and our 🐹s. She went above & beyond for pet health & happiness. Great communication. We've hired Emily 2x so far and would plan a vacation around when she's available!

Emily is the best pet sitter we’ve ever had. This was our first time using a sitter with our cats, but we’ve had dogs for years and years and used numerous pet sitters and Emily stands out as the absolute best of them all. Will CERTAINLY use her again. It made our vacation so much better knowing how good she was to our lil boys.

Emily
Emily took the BEST care of my cats, and I cannot recommend her enough, especially if you have a diabetic cat or one who needs extra care! She went above and beyond for my cat Sonya, who is diabetic and requires insulin shots twice a day. On top of that, Sonya is very skittish with new people, so I was worried about Emily even being able to FIND Sonya, much less be able to give her a shot! She has a great calm energy that cats obviously sense, and she was able to give Sonya her shots and even able to get her to play! I had avoided traveling at all since Sonya was diagnosed a few years ago, and I avoided trying to find someone to help because I just didn't think it was possible, but Emily has given me such a gift with her gift with animals, and it has opened my world up so much. I could not be more grateful and can't recommend her strongly enough. She's the best!

Emily did complex stuff -- give medicine, take in packages, as well as all the normal stuff feed them, photograph them, play with them -- however ALL of my cats loved her. The grumpy old tom who only loves my wife, the girl kitten that will only let ne pet her, etc.

I would 100% recommend Emily to look after your kitties! I found out one of my 3 cats was sick about a month before leaving the country and needed someone who can give subQ fluids and medicines. Emily went above and beyond to take care of my sick kitty while I was gone. She was super easy to work with and so good with all 3 of my fur babies. For as long as I live in Austin Emily will be the first person I call to look after my kitties!

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. Meowtel sitters 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 Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes 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 comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
