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!

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 $25.00. 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.
