We have a very cranky and elderly kitty and she made appearances every time. Laura came by so that has to be a great sign. When we returned, she was in a very good mood and no worse for our time apart. Would definitely have her watch over our kitten again.

Laura is the perfect cat-sitter. A 4-day weekend trip meant I had to leave my two cats, one of whom had been recently diagnosed with a heart condition and required oral medication every 12 hours. Laura made sure he got his pills when he needed them, going out of her way to make sure he was comfortable. I received updates with pics and videos for every visit, so I could see how happy my boys were. I'm so grateful for her personalized attention.

Laura did a fantastic job watching my cat Jasper. It was my first experience using a sitter and her attentive care for him put me at ease. She followed every instruction to a tee and provided me prompt updates and pictures after every visit. Kitty was happy and stress free when I returned.

Laura was so great! She was so nice and attentive to my needy/elderly cat. She even had some great suggestions about how to better utilize some of the cat toys in the house. She was very easy to communicate with and the whole process went smoothly. Will definitely be using her again!!

If it doesn't feel like the right fit at the Meet & Greet, or if you have any concerns during the reservation, please call 1-844-MEOWTEL (1-844-636-9835) so we can help you re-book with another sitter.
Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
- Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.
All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any 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 $27.00. 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!

Laura again provided top-notch care to our little Miku while we were away for a long 1-week trip. She sent sweet updates and pictures, and you could tell Laura was giving her the cat love and attention she needed. Thanks Laura! She also gave Miku her medication and treats and played with her. I highly recommend Laura.

Laura did an awesome job taking care of my kitty Soshi — who is a handful — and my cat Miku! She was very attentive to my detailed cat care instructions about feeding (times and amounts) and socializing and playing with them. She kept me timely updated about them, including nice pictures and a video. They both didn’t even notice I was gone because she took such good care of them! I highly recommend her.

Laura was great, we met ahead of time so the cats could get used to her which was great. During our trip Laura kept us updated with photos of the cats so we could tell the cats were happy with her visits while we were gone. Would definitely work with her next time we need a sitter.

Laura was amazing! She listened to our wants and needs and went above and beyond to take care of our cat. She cleaned out the litter box, sent updates and photos, and followed feeding instructions. If you are in the Austin or Georgetown area we highly recommend Laura to care for your cat.

Laura is simply the best! She's like a cat whisperer, my two kitties absolutely loved her from the moment they met. She takes amazing care of my kitties when I am away, providing consistent photo updates and keeping their space tidy. She's also been available for last-minute bookings when another overnight sitter bailed on me. Highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for loving and dependable cat care.
