I'm Rachel | Cat Sitting in Austin, TX

I absolutely adore cats and love being around them. I work with sites like Meowtel because I don't have a cat of my own right now and I miss being around them. Being around cats, caring for them, and sometimes even getting to cuddle with them makes me happy. I work from home and have a flexible schedule during the day as well as evening times and weekends. I don't typically celebrate holidays and am available during those times. I grew up in a house with 2 dogs and 2 cats. I had my own hamster, then rabbit, and finally my own cat as I grew to adulthood. I’v...

Learn More About Rachel

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I've been cat-sitting officially since 2018 but have sought out cats since I was a young adult. I grew up with dogs but always wanted a cat and got my little kitty midway through college. Ever since then my parents have had cats along with dogs. When I moved and no longer had my own pets, I volunteered with the Humane Society, cat cafes, and would cat sit for friends and family. I joined cat sitting app services in 2018 and have sat for 100's of cats!

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is a feather wand. I love wand toys because you can let the cat be a cat! You can let the cat 'stalk' the toy and mimic the prey in the way you wave the wand.

Absolutely fantastic! She got my fur babies to play, even the one who hates to play. My dramatic kitty even warmed up to her. She sent loads of updates and pictures and I will be using her again if we go out of town.

Rachel did a fantastic job watching after our 2 cats while we were out of town. She would always leave updates after every visit and would send photos of the cats!

Rachel was quick to respond and we felt safe during the meet and greet. Rachel communicated regularly with photos and updates each visit and we came home to happy cats that had been well taken care of. We recommend Rachel and would book again for sure when needed. Thank you Rachel!

Rachel was great! We didn't know how Smokey would react to a brand new sitter but it was clear from day 1 that he really liked her. She was great about keeping us in the loop with updates and photos and video.

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.
