Learn More About Hunter

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy getting to create that bond and meet new kitties! Each kitty is incredibly unique and to build a bond, even if it is just for a quick drop in, is important to me! I also take pride in giving confidence to the owner that they are able to take a trip and relax knowing their baby is well taken care of!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 2 kitties, Theo and George! 😻

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I like to have a meet and greet with the parent and the fur baby! Having that prior meeting and familiarity with not only their kitty but with them as parents is important to me because I want to be as informed and familiar with them and their routines to make each sitting as comfortable as possible! 🥰

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am typically available during most holidays! 🎉

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is a fishing pole with a cat nip fish on the end 🎣

If you're looking for someone who will look after your kitty baby/babies with the utmost care, your search should stop here - Hunter is absolutely wonderful. Not only is he so very approachable, warm and friendly, he is also extremely attuned to what cats respond well to. When Hunter came to do our meet and greet, we were immediately impressed by the fact that the first thing he said to us was that he wanted to give our kitty boys (Bammy and Celo) some space to get acquainted with him and for them come and say hello to him when they were ready. This was particularly appreciated as we had visited the vets the day before and Bammy went through a serious anxious episode which continued for a couple of days after our vet visit. When Hunter came for our meet and greet, Bammy wasn't quite himself, hid away the whole time and did not want to be around anybody (notwithstanding that he is usually very vibrant, friendly and loves meeting new folk!). Hunter was super respectful of that and didn't try to say hello to Bammy when he wasn't ready yet, which was really appreciated. Fast forward to the first day of Hunter's visit (post-Bammy returning back to his usual self), both Bammy and Celo couldn't get enough of Hunter! They got very comfortable with Hunter straight away and we immediately knew that our boys would be well taken care of. Usually, whenever we return from work trips/vacations, we can generally tell that the cats haven't quite been themselves and, although this subsides very quickly, there is usually a small amount of anxious energy from the cats by virtue of us being away. The cherry on top is that this time, there was absolutely none of that - the boys were in fantastic spirits when we came back and both were meowing like crazy... we were convinced that they were saying "Why are you guys back, we want Hunter instead please, we prefer him!" Thank you so much Hunter for looking after our boys so well. Bammy and Celo (and of course, us too!) are really looking forward to having you back again!

Hunter is the BEST EVER. Cannot recommend enough!! I was very stressed traveling with my cat who was recently diagnosed with diabetes, and instead of worrying the entire trip, Hunter had me so excited for his daily updates. He took the best care of my boy, sending so many pics and amazing details and commentary on his visits. My cat is.. a character and he somehow managed to not only easily get him his meds but befriend him!! Hunter was so prompt, easy to communicate with and was such a bright light for what otherwise could have been a stressful time for me and my boy. Immediately rebooked for my next trip, thank you endlessly, Hunter. Picket already misses you :) :)

Hunter is always enthusiastic, always energetic, and there’s nothing he loves more than seeing my BFF Champ. That means the world to me. His empathy is unmatched, and knowing Champ is in Hunter’s great hands gives me total peace.

Frequently Asked Questions

Austin cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Every Meowtel reservation may come with a 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation may come with a Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
