Hello,

My name is Ingrid. I love cats since I understand myself as a human being, something about the felines make me feel peaceful and understanding of true love. One of the question to fill this form was “how many cats do you own?” but having cats I learned I don’t own them, so my answer is at the moment I have 2 cats roommates that live with me rent free for 5 years 😂 till the end, and I love them with all my soul, I love their distinguished personalities and how they, with no pretentious reasons, make me laugh so hard. I also fostered cats and kittens before and rescued some others, took care of them and found them loving parents.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat sitting for over 10 years, everything started when I was still at school and my neighbors would ask to look after their cats when they were traveling, later on in life I realized that it was a wonderful side job to have, because definitely doesn’t feel like a job, is something that makes me fell good to be helping out pet parents as well.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

To get to know as many cats I can in my lifetime, their different personalities, fur and shapes, it is something that amazes me how each kitten is unique and figure out they particulaties is something that gives me joy.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do have kitties, Snow a 5 years old male black cat (he is brown when on sun)Snow is the sweatiest cat I ever know, but shy with strangers, and Ernesto 4 years old, he is white with some brownish spots, so smart, he is a fetch player, very peculiar for a cat .

Ingrid is amazing! During the meet and greet, she asked targeted questions about my cat to better understand his behavior and make a good plan of care for him. While she was catsitting, she sent dozens of super cute pictures and detailed messages about how each visit went. She followed instructions to the letter and really went above and beyond to provide excellent care to my cat and my home. I'd book her again in a heartbeat.

Ingrid continues to be the best! On my long trip I didn't have to worry at all, and when there were hiccups because of me (accidentally left a door locked) she was immediately communicative so I could direct her to the spare keys!

Ingrid is amazing!!! She is so communicative and thorough when she visited our kitties. We received pictures, videoed and a detailed report of her time with them. One of our cats is extremely skiddish, and she was able to calm his nerves literally on the first day. We will always be using Ingrid whenever we need care for our cats!

Great reservation with Ingrid. I was worried my kitty was feeling bad and she was so responsive to my concerns and ready to help give him meds to ease the situation. Have every intention to keep booking Ingrid in the future to care for my cats :)

Ingrid was absolutely wonderful. We have always been afraid to leave our cats with anyone but us because they are so shy. She was the absolute best, they warmed up to her real quick and she always sent us pics and videos of them. This was the first time that we were able to go out of town with complete peace of mind. This was also the first time that we were able to leave town for more than 2 days. We will recommend her to anyone that will listen. Cannot praise her enough. Thank you so much for everything.

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 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 Meet & Greet!
