Hi there ! My name is Malina and cats are my specialty! ❤️

Hi there ! My name is Malina and cats are my specialty! ❤️
I raised my cat Delilah from a kitten to 18 years. In her senior years before she passed, I gave her daily meds and learned to care for a senior cat. I found this incredibly rewarding, and I miss her a lot! My husband and I currently have 2 rescue cats named Chaucer and Seuss😸😸 They are a bonded sibling pair that amuse us with their antics. They are spoiled daily with all the cats treats, organic food, brushing with their furminator and toys galore! Don’t worry, I’ll spoil your cat just the same!

* I am available for ONCE a day drop in’s that occur within a window from 7-5:00. Unfortunately I can can not designate an exact time to visit but I can give you an ETA the day of if you’d like 👍🏼

I am a licensed Physical Therapist assistant. I have been in this field for 22 years. So why do I cat sit you ask? Because it brings me SO much joy🥰Visiting my Austin cat clients is the highlight of my day.
I live in South Austin near SoCo and service a radius of 5 miles.
I’m very excited to meet your fur-babies! Contact me for a meet and greet either in person or virtual and we can chat about the needs of your kitties.

This was my first time having a pet sitter that I didn’t personally know. Malina was wonderful! she took great care of my timid cat with play time, snuggles, and pets. she made sure the food and water was full and also brought in a package I had received. I got great pictures and she was a great communicator. my cat and I loved her!

Malina was fantastic! My boy loved her. When the stress of us leaving upset his tummy, she cleaned up w/out complaint & let me know in case we thought he needed vet care. And when an emergency came up & she had to miss one day, she preemptively found us another sitter. Would absolutely recommend!

Malina did an amazing job. My cat was calm when I came home when he is usually anxious. She took a lot of time to care for him and play.

Malina was amazing!! She sent me multiple pictures and videos each day and always updated me with the sweetest messages. She did a great job with my boy! I could tell he was happy to have her there, which made me feel completely safe leaving him in her care. I will definitely book again!!

Malina was great! We so appreciated her being available during a holiday week. Our cat needs a daily medication and can be difficult about it, but Malina rose to the occasion. She made sure to keep us updated on how her visits went every day. Definitely recommend Malina!

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.

If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.

Austin cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with 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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!
