I'm Maryam | Cat Sitting in Austin, TX
Hi there! I’m Maryam! a proud cat mom to two adorable babies, Meadow and River. I have a BS degree in Nutrition and currently working part time as a research assistant and working volunteerly in shelter. With my years of hands-on experience both for my own babies and in San Marcos Regional Shelter I have become skilled in caring for cats with various needs, including managing allergies, handling diarrhea, administering pills, applying topical ointments, giving eye drops, and even handling injections when necessary. Dental care is my strength (yes I know that is hard for cats!) I brush my own cats' teeth every other day and know exactly how to keep those pearly whites clean! During my ...

Maryam's Reviews
Susan
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 was so great with my cat! I was so nervous leaving him for an extended period of time but Maryam went above and beyond!
Jackie
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.

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 $28.00. 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.
