I'm Manoosh

Cat Sitting in Austin, TX

I have been fostering cats with Austin Animal Center for the past year and a half, and absolutely love getting to know their personalities and how to care for them. This has given me the confidence to care for cats with varying needs and personalities, including administering medication, nebulizers, monthly heart worm treatments, claw trimming, post surgery care, and socialization. ... I have been fostering cats with Austin Animal Center for the past year and a half, and absolutely love getting to know their personalities and how to care for them. This has given me the confidence to care for cats with varying needs and personalities, including administering medication, nebulizers, monthly heart worm treatments, claw trimming, post surgery care, and socialization.

When caring for a pet in their own home, I am mindful that this is their territory! Once I know they are aware of my presence and comfortable enough, I proceed to replenish their food and water and then clean their litter box.

After taking care of the essentials, I hang out and see if they want want further social interaction and pets or just a sense of someone else’s presence.

Excellent communicator and so sweet and kind. Very helpful and patient with my 2 cats who just moved across the ocean so were a little weary of new people but she was amazing and sent pictures of the girls every day which I appreciated.

our Pepe (cat) loved seeing Manoosh. She was always friendly and communicative. Took great care to insure he had water, food, and ample play time. We will definitely have her back the next time we are away.

Manoosh was so patience with our shy boy, leaving us feeling at peace while being away. She asked thoughtful questions about our cat's routine, kept his potty and food area clean, and spent time loving on our boy. With Manoosh's engaging presence and thoughtful care, I'd highly recommend as 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!
