I'm Lisa | Cat Sitting in Austin, TX
Ahoy! I'm Lisa! Originally from New Jersey, I'm now Austin based with my two cats, eight chickens, and one dog. I love animals of all sorts. While I have reached my pet capacity at my home, my heart has endless space to care for others. I have always been a cat lady! In my adult life, I own(ed) three cats. In 2016, one passed away from lymphoma and you better believe, I did absolutely everything (surgery, chemo, etc) to save her. The last months of her life, I administered oral pills, liquid medications, and of course endless snuggles. My love for my animals runs very deep. I work as a TV editor and producer.

Lisa's Reviews
Caitlin
I appreciate Lisa stepping in last minute to help me out by taking care of the kitties. She was very understanding of the fact that they are rescues and tend to be skeptical of new people. She sent me great updates and pictures as well. When one kitty didn’t come out, she looked around for her and did her best to make her feel safe. Lisa is a very sweet and caring person. She is someone I felt very safe leaving my cats with. I will definitely be using her again. Thank you, Lisa for your help! 🙏🏼 ❤️ 🐈 🐈⬛

Two paws up for Lisa! Lisa is the only person I will be hiring anytime I need cat care. She double checked the dates I would be leaving and returning when something didn't make sense which I really appreciated - I could tell she was genuinely concerned about my cat's wellbeing. I never once wondered how he was doing because she sent detailed updates and photos morning and evening. I would hire her again and again and I'm recommending her to all my friends!

From the very start, Lisa was a treat to work with. A pure professional and a true love of kitty cats. we had updates and photos everything she came by and even our neurotic stranger loathing cat came out to pay a visit. a couple of days prior to us leaving we had to let one cross the rainbow bridge. Lisa made sure to be extra attentive with both our others, the social one got all the pets and hugs she wanted. besides the car of the cats, Lisa was nothing but kind and sweet to us in all communications and took any nerves of being away, off us completely. I would highly recommend and for sure will use her again.

Lisa is an amazing cat-sitter! You can tell she has a big love of kitties and enthusiastically shared many photos of my boy while I was away. She also administered his flee meds and watered my plants. Her help made all the difference in being confident to leave my kitty home alone.

This was our first experience with Lisa after our usual petsitter wasn't available, and she was just great. Her experience with administering oral medication, her willingness to provide care for our other small pets in addition to our very geriatric cat, and her flexible hours for the meet and greet were just what we needed. Her affection for our pets was obvious during our meet and greet and through her upbeat, often humorous daily updates. We absolutely, wholeheartedly recommend her.

Frequently Asked Questions
The average price for a cat sitter is $28.00.
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.
