As an overprotective cat mom, I was nervous about leaving my cat for the first time. Maryam went above and beyond taking care of my princess. My cat is very needy yet really shy around strangers, but Maryam was able to charm her right away. I would 100% recommend Maryam, she really charmed my cat, was very responsive, and gave plenty of updates!

Maryam always does a great job caring for my kitties. I came home today and the litter box was clean and my babies were happy.

So grateful for Maryam's help with our two cats while we were away on our wedding trip. Was a bit nervous to leave our cats for 3 weeks, however our cats were so happy when we returned, thanks to Maryam's incredible care. We got detailed photos and videos of our cats each day and she even played with them making sure they were well cared for and given plenty of attention while we were away. Would highly recommend booking with Maryam. 🤗 Thank you!

My kitties LOVE Maryam! I got to witness it first hand when I arrived home early and I got to see her feed my babies and play with them. My Alfie was rubbing all over her and was quite smitten 🥰. I always get stressed leaving my kitties but Maryam provides me with timely and thorough updates and photos. I have her come for breakfast and dinner both with playtime so 45 min each visit. My kitties are happy and tired when Maryam leaves and I feel better knowing they had the company and exercise. Highly recommend Maryam for your kitty needs.

I can't recommend Maryam enough! My senior, shy cat just loved her and she went above and beyond to make him comfortable while I was away. She sent a ton of videos and pictures each visit and I could tell how happy and relaxed he was--when I got back he wasn't even his usual clingy self. She also offered additional help to make him more comfortable like clipping his nails and cleaning his ears for me! I felt so much less stressed while traveling with Maryam looking after my little baby and I will definitely be booking her again!

Maryam is wonderful! She even got my grumpy old cat to come out for pets. She updated daily with videos of the cats and detailed messages of what was taken care of while she was here. My cats loved her and I know they were well taken care of. She even got to know my one cats personality so well she was able to joke with me about him. She really knows and loves cats!

I have used Maryam twice now and my kitties absolutely love her! I travel for work and I used to get nervous leaving my kitties. But now, I feel confident when Maryam stays and takes care of them. She feeds, cleans, and plays with my kitties and they are excited when she arrives. She promptly sends me updates and videos after each visit so, when I am traveling, I am at peace knowing my babies are taken care of.

Maryam was so great with our shy Mouse. She went above and beyond in making sure our baby was taken care of for three days. Her updates with photos and video really made us feel at ease. Maryam was quick to respond and made sure to update us on how Mouse was doing every day. We would definitely reserve with Maryam again 😊

Maryam did a wonderful job with my furry friends! I have two cats that don't get along and require very specific routines to maintain the peace at home. Maryam attended to those needs each day, sending lots of photos and updates. She provided lots of photos and was very quick to respond with any requests or questions. She even got my very shy cat to sleep in bed with her! Looking forward to having her back!

Maryam exceeded my expectations by taking great care of my cat, being responsive, and providing daily updates. I had a previous pet sitter cancel and was able to book with Maryam very close to the holiday season and she alleviated a lot of travel stress for us. I highly recommend booking Maryam!

Maryam is THE best! We are so thankful for her, we have so much peace when we go out of town knowing she will be there, especially with the great communication and pics she sends. Maryam always gives such great care to our golden girl of 17 years and she was able to get one of our shy kitties out of their shell. Our cats don’t even care that we are gone when Maryam is around! 😆🥰

I was so lucky to find Maryam at the last moment before the holidays! She did an amazing job taking care of my pets, always arriving on time and keeping me updated with detailed reports about their feeding. She also sent plenty of videos, which was such a comfort. My kitty, who can be shy, felt comfortable and playful with her from the very first visit. I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and highly recommend her!

We are absolutely thrilled with the exceptional care Maryam provided for our cats and home! From the initial meeting, their passion for animals and professionalism was evident. Our usually reserved cat Gigi quickly took to Maryam, which was incredibly reassuring. While we were away, we received frequent updates and delightful photos and videos of our cats, which made us feel completely at ease. It was clear they were not only well-fed and cared for but also happy and engaged. Maryam went the extra mile by keeping our home immaculate and even offered to tend to our plants. Returning to content cats was the perfect homecoming. We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking a reliable and caring pet sitter. We will undoubtedly be reaching out to Maryam for our future travels! Thank you for the outstanding care you provided to our cherished pets and home!

Maryam was great! She communicated fabulously about everything with my kitties each day. She pivoted well for a last minute medicine request and even had some suggestions for how to help them long term. I'll definitely use Maryam the next time I need someone to check in on my cats.

Maryam is awesome! She went above and beyond caring for our 8 cats and we really enjoyed the daily updates with videos and photos! We were really concern about leaving our sweet golden girl we have never left for a long period of time before, she is 17 and has issues with the litter box and Maryam took such good care of her and gave us so much peace being away. We highly recommend Maryam, we definitely will be booking with her again! :)

Maryam, here in Austin Texas from Meowtel, recently cared for my cat Smudge while I was away in Europe. Dear Meowtel, one can not ask for a more caring, competent, and compassionate person to care for your cat. She is fantastic! Well beyond carrying out all daily care issues for my little guy perfectly, she kept me fully informed and entertained with their happy new friendship. When faced with a ‘new guy at a front desk being difficult with a prearranged admission situation’- she steadfastly stood her ground to professionally negotiate her admission into the building, all in the name of Mr. Smudge getting his dinner! 😸 Amazing! The entire time that she cared for him I was completely at ease. I simply can not recommend her any higher!

It’s so reassuring to know your fur babies are in good hands when out of town, and we felt great knowing they were being cared for by Maryam. She captured the cutest videos of our cats leaping and pouncing about. Our cats had a blast! Her detailed attention to cleanliness and the cats wellbeing was particularly impressive. We would love to have Maryam over again!

Maryam was kind and sent me the best updates. I had no worries about my babies as Maryam kept me fully briefed on her visits. Will definitely be having her sit for my kitties in the future!

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.
