Sarah was fantastic! I felt like I was leaving my little boy with a friend, and that was the whole point -- all he needed was to not feel left alone. The photos and communication were above and beyond, and set a high bar for when I care for friends' pets!

Sarah did a great job caring for my two kitties! Her communication was very thorough throughout our time together. Her passion for cats reflects in her service, it feels very good to know a caretaker loves your animals as much as you do!

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!

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!

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!

Sarah, the self-proclaimed "cat whisperer," truly lives up to the name! She recently cared for our four cats, visiting twice a day over two weeks while we were overseas, and we couldn’t be happier with her service. One of our cats is 15.5 years old, very shy, finicky, and has diabetes, making her daily insulin and medication routine quite a challenge for anyone new. To our amazement, Sarah managed to gain her trust on the very first day. This is no small feat, as this particular cat is incredibly wary of new people. Knowing that Sarah had her in such capable hands allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our trip, reassured that even our most vulnerable cat was being well cared for. Sarah kept us updated during each visit with detailed messages, photos, and videos of all four cats. Her communication was always prompt and thorough, and it was clear she took the time to bond with each cat. She went beyond the call of duty, often staying longer than scheduled to play with them and get to know their individual personalities. Additionally, Sarah went above and beyond with the cleaning, taking care of soiled litter boxes due to our senior cat’s accidents and washing any cat dishes she used. We returned to a clean home, which was such a relief after a long journey home. We highly recommend Sarah for anyone needing a caring, gentle, and nurturing cat sitter. She eased all of our worries (and we had quite a few!) and has earned our trust for any future trips. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!

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 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!

Having Sarah as a cat sitter was a great experience for me and my cat! Athena is normally shy around new people but immediately took a liking to Sarah. Sarah went above and beyond in taking care of Athena providing emotional support to a lonely cat needing attention and offering to change out the litter when needed. Sarah provided daily updates with pictures and videos of them becoming best friends. I felt very at ease about Athena while I was traveling knowing that she was in good hands.

I’m leaving this review based on the two times I’ve hired Sarah, because I was not able to review the first time. Sarah was excellent in a long-term overnight stay capacity with my two elderly kittens, one of whom needs love all the time in the other one is a little more standoffish. Also, one cat had to be taken regularly to the vets for fluids. I I also hired Sarah for a last minute one day gig, and she was great, and got back to me right away. In both cases she had excellent communication and asked a fair number of questions so I knew she was taking the job very seriously which is important when these are your babies which is how I think of them.

Sarah did such an amazing job taking care of my 2 cats! She was great at communicating and sending cute videos and photos each day. She even vacuumed the litter and cat hair so I came home to a clean house and 2 very happy cats. I can recommend her enough!

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 $26.00. 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.
