I'm Sarah | Cat Sitting in Austin, TX
Hi, I’m Sarah, and I can’t wait to care for your beloved cats and kittens! I adore cats, and I’ll love and care for your fur babies as if they’re my own. I've been a cat sitter in the Austin area for 10 years, including volunteering as a foster for the Austin Animal Center. I understand it can feel vulnerable having a beloved pet in the care of someone you don’t know. I’ve earned the trust of one-time and repeat clients, and I’ll assure you with daily photos and updates, so you can see your feline family is being provided a loving, caring and patient service with attention to the littlest details. Of course, when you arrive home, your cats will be happy and healthy. I'm not opposed to working overtime if your kitty seems to need a little extra love and attention. They might seem a little tuckered out from all the good play time we'll have. I mean, that’s the best part of my job! I’ve cared for elderly cats, cats with diabetes, cerebral dysplasia, and other serious medical conditions, those needing multiple oral and topical medications, nebulizer treatments, post-surgical care, and cats who require special accommodations. And of course plenty of healthy, active and playful kitties too! Do you have a cat who won't...
Sarah's Reviews
Tracey
Sarah was absolutely amazing with both my high-needs cats and younger kittens. She left detailed updates and sent lots of pictures, which eased my mind as I was traveling. I would not hesitate to hire Sarah again; she has taken excellent care of my fur babies and treats them as if they are her own. She always arrived as scheduled and went above and beyond, often staying longer than planned to assure she spent time with each cat. If she's available for your dates -- you definitely want to book Sarah for your kitties.

Sarah did a great job taking care of our cat, Cookie. Her experience with cats and her dedication to them clearly showed. Thank you Sarah!
Paula
oh Sarah, you did it again! just when I thought your first visit was a cosmic alignment of the stars to have a stranger get to interact with our older, skittish, diabetic cat…lightning striked twice- or rather, you really have a way with cats! What a relief to get to have someone who truly cares for our cats and provides evidence of their well being!
Paula
Thank goodness for Sarah! We were hesitant to leave our shy diabetic cat in the care of someone else, but Sarah sent us pictures that eased our mind while away. I see why people here call her “the Cat Whisperer.” I was afraid we’d never get our cat to come out during the first visit- but Sarah has a gentle, playful way about her…I’ve never seen my cat interact with anyone else like this other than myself. I’m hesitant to share how wonderful of an experience this was because I selfishly want to keep her for ourselves, yet I know other anxious owners of needy cats out there would benefit. Sarah is a real blessing!

Sarah was amazing, she even got my shy kitty out and about and we loved the photos that she sent everyday. Pearl has a supplement to take that isn't always easy to get into her mouth (you can't mix it in food) and Sarah made sure she administered it. We have a small house and you can tell if the litter box hasn't been attended to and when we got back the litter box was pristine and the house smelled great. Sarah did a great job and I will definitely use her services again and recommend her to others!

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 $29.00. 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.
