Learn More About Gisela

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

I have been cat sitting for about 5 years during this time I have met many different cats with different personalities and different needs. I have met diabetic cats, cats with utis, felv+ cats, and have loved every second of cat sitting

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love cats and love meeting them and giving them pets. I truly give them the love I think their owners would if they were there.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

Cat sitting is often the best part of my day and I enjoy it because of that anytime I have a cat sitting.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats, one is name aria and nicknamed little girl or LG. My other cat is named Spencer and nicknamed Spencer wencer or little baby.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Make sure you check for the cat sitter availability first and make sure you book with enough time to do a meet and greet because you never know if your cats will like a new person some cats act differently around different people

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

I typically message them letting them know if I am or am not available and then schedule a meet and greet.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I make sure my full attention is on the cats and the home. I make sure I follow instructions and usually before I leave the house I make sure the cats are still inside and always watch the door while I walk out. As a cat sitter you always have to keep cat parents informed of any changes in their home or with the cats while they’re gone.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am but I get booked up very quickly because I have been cat sitting for so long. I recommend you always book in advance with any cat sitter to make sure you are able to find someone you want to care for your cats with enough time.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love using a laser or cat wand to play with cats. I also love giving cats catnip and seeing their reactions.

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

It honestly always depends on the cat. Sometimes I talk to them sometimes they get scared when they hear my voice so I just sit near them being quiet and they warm up. It just depends on the cat.

this is the third time I’ve reserved Gisela because she is consistent and I always return to a happy Kitty! this last time I was gone for a week so I was worried my kitty would be lonely but with Gisela’s daily updates and playtime with her I felt so much better.

once again I was so happy that I was able to get Gisela to watch my kitty while I was away for a week. I feel so much better knowing she is getting played with and lots of pets right at home.

Frequently Asked Questions

Austin cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, 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. 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.
