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 of your fur babies as if they’re my own. I've been a cat sitter, caring for cats and kittens 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 a stranger, and to have a stranger in your home. I’ve earned the trust of 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. I’m very respectful of your home. I take my shoes off at the door and wear clean flip flops into your home. I have a special hand vacuum I like to use (only if it won't scare your sweet kitty) to eliminate cat hair and stray litter. All of the litter boxes will be scooped and refreshed each day, and I take waste out to the bin daily. I even bring my own waste bags. When you arrive home, your house will be as clean as you left it, or cleaner. 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! As a foster, I’ve rehabilitated nearly feral kittens. I’ve cared for el...

Sarah watched my 4 cats when I was away for a week - and did an excellent job. She took the time to understand what they needed each day and made sure their routine was not disturbed. She took care of my cats, kept the space clean and even brought my packages in! She was a great communicator, sending updates, pictures and videos each day. You could tell the cats loved seeing her from the pictures she sent - which makes any cat parent very happy! I would highly recommend Sarah if anyone is looking for a new cat sitter!

Sarah did an amazing job taking care of our 9yr cat while we were out of town. We came home to a happy and healthy kitty, she went above and beyond our expectations!

Sarah was great with our kitty while we left for a 2+ week trip! She sent amazing updates, photos, videos, and was super detailed about our house, upcoming weather, grabbing mail and packages, and more. We felt so at peace having Sarah care for our little guy and knew he was having an absolute blast based on the photos and videos. Sarah truly cares for animals; it is clear this isn't just a job for her but a passion and she really wanted to do a great job and build a relationship with our cat. We came home and he was super calm and happy, which is always a great sign. Thank you, Sarah!

Sarah took care of my two cats, Freeda and Miso, for about a week. She's very calm, caring, and professional. After meeting her once, I knew that my cats would be well-cared for. She sent updates, photos, and videos of my happy cats with almost every visit and all went smoothly for the whole time I was away. Sarah spent extra time at my home quietly waiting for Freeda, my always-afraid-of-unfamiliar-people cat, to come out from her hiding place. She finally did, and by the fourth visit, Sarah sent a video of Freeda purring and nuzzling her. She's absolutely the cat whisperer! Miso liked her, too, but I've never seen Freeda take to anyone so fast. To top if off, when I arrived home, it was cleaner than when I left. No cat littler tracks anywhere! I'm so happy with the care that Sarah gave to my cats and would absolutely recommend her services.

Amazing caretaker. I was worried about leaving my cat alone for the first time since he got sick and Sarah was awesome taking care of him and making sure he got all his medications and keeping him company while I was gone!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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.
