I'm Diana | Cat Sitting in Austin, TX

Hey there, I'm Diana! My two cats, Cheshire and Elektra, live with me in the North Austin area. My cats are my world, and I would go to the ends of the Earth for them.. just as I'm sure you would for your beloved furbabies! It warms my heart seeing people find love and happiness via their animals. I've petsat for many families over the years, but not just kitties, other beloved pets as well, including dogs, reptiles, birds, and even fish and invertebrates! So, show me what animals you love, and I'm sure I can help take care of them for you! My background includes a Bachelor's in Wildlife & Fisheries Science from Texas A&M.

Learn More About Diana

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have two cats who own Me. 😼 Their names are Cheshire and Elektra.

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.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I offer them loving care and compassion because every kitty has different life experiences that may have given them trauma that we, as humans, might be unaware of. Cats have and need boundaries just like people do!

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!

Diana provided great update details and photos of our kitties. She took great care of the day to day duties that kept the litter boxes and feeding areas clean. We loved all the photos with comments at each visit. Her care helped us to be able to enjoy our time away. We have senior kitties in our pride and it is tough to leave them. However, knowing Diana was there made it easier.

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 $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.
