I'm Hunter | Cat Sitting in Austin, TX

Hi there, My names Hunter and I'm excited to meet you and your sweet fur baby! Before i meet yours, let me introduce you to mine! My two babies are Theo (tuxedo) and George (long-haired). They are both rescues and full of personality! All Theo wants is lil soups and cuddles while George on the other hand has some anxiety and likes to nap in his stroller and devour catnip! I don't know what i would do without my little family! Now, a little about me! I have recently made the transition from full time optical manager to pet sitter!! I have pet sat for the past 4 years ...

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! 🥰

Hunter was amazing. He took great care of our cats and was kind enough to water my outdoor garden. He befriended the kitties fast and they loved him and he sent detailed updates which I appreciated!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

If you are not fully satisfied with your sitter after the Meet & Greet or during the reservation, please call 1-844-636-9835 so we can help you re-book with a new sitter to ensure we can deliver on our purrfect hospitality promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
