I'm Altina | Cat Sitting in Austin, TX
Hi! I’m Altina: an experienced cat pro and an all around animal lover. I’d love look after, guard, and pamper your cat(s) while you’re away. I offer drop-in visits as well as overnight stays. Please note that, for the sake of everyone involved, meet & greets are mandatory. 🔶 A bit about me: I am reliable, responsible, straightforward, and very no-nonsense. My cat-sitting includes extreme care and comes with no surprises for you or your beloved cats. I work at UT Austin and I’m a proud cat mom. Machia, my own boy cat, is a sweet, grey domestic long hair with an incredibly nuanced personality. I adopted Machia in 2014 when, while living in Austin as a Ph.D. student, I decided to foster cats via Austin Pets Alive. Caring for your cat(s) while you’re gone would be a perfect opportunity for me to take a much-needed break from academia. As someone who in the past had to travel and often found herself looking for a reliable cat sitter, I know how important it is to ensure that our babies continue to stay safe and spoiled in our absence. I’m here to help make that transition as smooth as possible for you & your cat. 🔶 I have 20+ years experi...

Altina's Reviews
Meowtel
Altina is a background-checked cat sitter in the Austin area. Their profile has been verified and their references have been checked by Meowtel.
Vanessa
Altina has been taking care our cat Luna since 2018. Luna loves staying with her as Altina is a true cat whisperer. For our summer vacations, or Xmas, we know Luna will be taken care. We particularly love the pictures Altima sends us of the enriching and game activities they do together... in fact I had to buy a couple of Altina's toys as Luna loved them! We usually drop Luna off and we go pick her up. At pick-up she does not want to be found ahaha! We are really grateful to have her as part of our furry family.
Andrea
Altina is a huge animal lover. I have known Altina for 15 years and she has always treated her animals and ours (when she lived with us for a while) as if they were her children. She is caring and very responsible. I would trust her with my pets any day.

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 $31.00. 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.
