Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have two cats who own Me. 😼 Their names are Cheshire and Elektra. Cheshire is a chonky grey tabby boy, and Elektra is a black Bombay girl. I would go to the ends of the Earth for them, and they are the best thing I got out of my failed marriage. They have saved my life numerous times. They both are ESAs for me that provide both mental and physical healing and support.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

You should find someone who wants to communicate and ask you all kinds of questions, especially preventative safety ones. And if you're doing meet and greets, in person is far better than on video/zoom. That way, both the sitter can be better oriented to the layout of the place and you can make sure the cats vibe well with the sitter. Good cat sitter vibes can go a long way to ease the stress levels of your kitties while you are away from them.

What is your favorite cat toy?

So, it's not actually a toy, but an undercoat brush that is my favorite item I like to bring along to visits. I've had multiple cats that don't normally like brushing, but this one makes them purr and ask for more. πŸˆβ€β¬› Also, it works so well at getting undercoat fur out easily that I've had multiple clients ask me for a link to buy one, lol.

Diana was amazing with my three cats! She was very attentive to their individual personalities and needs, and every day she gave detailed updates with lots of photos. Excellent communication before and during my trip, too. I've already booked her again for Christmas.

Diana is amazing. Even our shy former feral cat warmed up to her so quickly. We will definitely use her again.

Diana was very good at understanding how to make my cat feel super comfortable. My cat is usually very cautious of strangers but Diana made her feel very safe and she took to her quicker than most!

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

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.
