I'm Katherine
Cat Sitting in Austin, TX
I have two cats and two dogs of my own, so I know how important it is to feel at peace when you’re away from home! Knowing your fur babies are safe and cared for is the most important thing.
I have over 9 years of experience taking care of animals, both my own and other’s. I have experience ad... Hi! Nice to meet you, my name is Kate :)
I have two cats and two dogs of my own, so I know how important it is to feel at peace when you’re away from home! Knowing your fur babies are safe and cared for is the most important thing.
I have over 9 years of experience taking care of animals, both my own and other’s. I have experience administering oral medications with cats, both liquid and pill form, as well as syringe feeding.
I love animals dearly (I’m practically a druid for my dnd nerds out there), I’m detail oriented, reliable and respectful. Communication is key! So I’ll make it a point to give you consistent updates.
Can’t wait to meet my new furry friends!
Learn More About Katherine
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes I do! My cats are Korra (named after ATLA) and Clementine 🍊(or Clem, clemclem, or clemethy for short)! Korra is a Tortie with ample tortietude and Clem is your average crazy calico, so I’m used to big cat personalities lol
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
First is getting to know the logistics, feeding schedules, cat litter, medications, emergency plans, making sure I have all the contact information I need. Then figuring out your cat’s specific preferences! Not every cat sitting experience is going to be the same, sometimes with more timid cats, they get more stressed the longer you’re there and it’s better to take care of their needs and leave quickly; with other cats they want to play or cuddle and get some energy out while you’re there, it really depends on the personality!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Trust takes time, the main thing is not forcing a relationship with the animal and letting it develop naturally. Just sitting down calmly and letting the cat come to you until they get used to you. Sometimes play will also help get a shy cat out of their shell, or treats they like!

This is the second time I've booked with Katherine and she went above and beyond to ensure wonderful care for my cats. There was a malfunction with the automatic litter box we have and she was able to fix it and even offered to change her arrival time sooner to make sure the cats would have their bathroom working again. I really appreciate her flexibility and quick communication!

Visited my pets dependably, trustworthy vibes, sent photos of my cats throughout my travels and played with them, gave them much needed TLC/human attention while I was gone.

Katherine was absolutely incredible with my cat. From the first meeting I could tell she’s a true cat person, patient, attentive, and genuinely caring. She kept me updated with photos and messages the whole time I was gone, which gave me so much peace of mind. My cat warmed up to her immediately (which is saying a lot). Honestly, she probably took better care of him than I do as the owner, lol. The food, the playtime, the cuddles, all of it was on point. If you’re looking for someone you can trust completely with your cat, look no further. Five stars isn’t enough. I’d give her ten if I could. Highly, highly recommend!

Wonderful! Katherine really came through on short notice when I found myself in an unexpected pinch and my regular sitter was unavailable. My cat really took to her and enjoyed himself. So grateful!

Katherine was great! This was our first time using Katherine (and Meowtel) to watch our cat. It is clear from the daily updates and pictures that our cat was very happy and comfortable with Katherine. We will not hesitate to book Kathrine again.

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 $26.00. 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!
