I'm Ammi

Cat Sitting in Austin, TX

When I was in elementary school, my neighbor and I rescued some kittens during record heat. I was handed two of the tiniest little black beans I had ever seen. That was the day I became the cat lady I am now. I raised those two beans to be big spoiled brats until I lost them at the 18 & 20 years old. I’ve since adopted two new kitties to give the same love and care for as the two I... When I was in elementary school, my neighbor and I rescued some kittens during record heat. I was handed two of the tiniest little black beans I had ever seen. That was the day I became the cat lady I am now. I raised those two beans to be big spoiled brats until I lost them at the 18 & 20 years old. I’ve since adopted two new kitties to give the same love and care for as the two I grew up with.
Aside from caring for my own cats, I have had previous experience as a cat and dog sitter for various friends and family members. I am very patient, pay close attention to details, and ensure to closely follow any directions you leave for me. I am fully vaccinated and have no problem wearing a mask while in your home. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby!

Learn More About Ammi

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two 7 month old black kittens named Nyx and Omen. They are sisters and have so much energy but love to cuddle as much as they love to get into trouble.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I’ve always loved wand toys because they are so interactive. Lately, my kittens have been loving a blue foam ball and will spend all morning playing fetch with me.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I try to respect their space and let them come to me if they’re ready. I’ve had some pet sitting reservations where I have to play hide and seek to snap a picture of them, and others where pet owners tell me not to worry about snapping a picture as long as I’m feeding them and noticing the food is gone. Ultimately it’s just about respecting their space while still making sure I can check on how they’re doing from a distance.

Ammi was awesome -- she was quick to answer every message, proactive with communication, sent lots of photos and detailed check ins, and stuck around to play with our kittens without us even asking (and even noticed one of our kittens had knocked down a piece of furniture and righted it to make sure it didn't get damaged) we'd have Ammi back any time!

Ammi did an exceptional job caring for our two cats! She is very experienced and responsive -- even our shy cat was immediately friendly. We particularly appreciated the high-quality daily pictures, videos, and text updates that Ammi sent to keep us in the loop. We felt at ease knowing that our cats were in good hands!

Ammi was an excellent cat sitter! Great communication before and during the week I was out of town. Ammi sent pictures and videos everyday with updates about how my cat was doing and how their visit was going. I had a great vacation knowing that my cat was well taken care of, thanks Ammi!

Ammi was amazing! I loved getting all the updates and they made me feel so much better. My cat can be weary of new people and she did such a great time letting Greg warm up to her in her own time :)

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!
