I'm Arian
Cat Sitting in Austin, TX
Hello! My name is Arian, and I am here to make sure your kitties have a cat-tastic day! I love cats! (Obviously 😸) Cats have been a part of my family my entire life. My cats are my furry children, and I always want the very best for them. I will provide the same compassionate, patient, and loving care to your precious babies that I do my very own. With over 9 years of experience as a cat sitter, and a lifetime of being a cat parent, I am very familiar with cat behaviors and body language, administering medications, and befriending our extra shy kitty friends. In addition to kitty experience, I also have over 20 + years of customer service experience and am invested in providing excellent service to both you and your kitties.
I know what it's like to worry about your babies while you are away, and my goal is to help relieve that stress by providing outstanding care and updates so that you can have a fun and worry-free time while away from your kitties... **Want to book with me, but the date isn't open? Always feel free to reach out to ask if I can open up a date for you!**

I know what it's like to worry about your babies while you are away, and my goal is to help relieve that stress by providing outstanding care and updates so that you can have a fun and worry-free time while away from your kitties.
I have strong attention to detail and make sure that any and all instructions you leave for your babies will be precisely followed and taken care of. I am also happy to water plants, bring in mail or packages, and take out the trash during my visits.
I have experience working with all sorts of feline friends. Including: newborn kittens, senior kitties, diabetic kitties, and special needs kitties. I also have experience administering medication to cats, including giving insulin shots, oral medications, topical ointments, and ear and eye drops.
I have always been lucky in that cats have always seemed to gravitate toward me. I like to approach them on their level. When cat-sitting, you will often find me sitting on the floor with your kitties for cuddles and playtime. I am patient and respect their boundaries. I know each kitty is different, and I adapt my behavior to make them the most comfortable and content that they can be.
A visit with me includes:
- Clean/Scoop litter boxes
- Tidy up around litter boxes/food bowls - Feed and give fresh water per owner's instructions
- Administer any medications at required times with care and attention to detail - Cuddle, pet, and play with your kitty (providing they want me to) 😸
- Photos/videos of your kitty, so you don't miss out on any adorable antics
- Send detailed updates, including before and after photos of litter boxes, food bowls, water, etc
When I'm not cat sitting I work for Meowtel on the Sitter Support and Events team! (Which I am able to do fully remotely.) I also love to spend time with my kitties and pup, go birding, draw, paint, see live music, and do photography.
I'm currently based in San Antonio and am in the medical center/northwest side of San Antonio. I'm happy to travel to other parts of the city as well to help take care of your kitty. Including but not limited to: Oak Hills, Medical Center, Alamo Heights, Balcones Heights, Downtown, Terrel Hills, Leon Valley, and more.
I am happy to wear a mask in your home or at Meet & Greets. I wash my hands frequently and am vaccinated and multi-times boosted as well.
As far as my schedule is concerned I do have some flexibility as I work from home. That being said, I generally try to keep my visits before and after my work hours, but please feel free to ask if you need a specific time, and I can often accommodate it.
All reservations include a free 20-30 minute meet and greet so we can go over instructions, exchange keys, meet your kitties, or anything else you might need to let me know or ask before your visit. I can do both in-person and virtual meet and greets. Whichever is most convenient for you.
I can't wait to meet you and your furrtastic babies! 🌈🏳️⚧️ LGBTQIA + welcoming!

We reserved Arian for a couple of visits for our 2 kittens while we were out of town for a day trip. She was fantastic, very detailed, and sent tons of pictures and videos. One of our kittens is a little more shy, but she made friends with both of them easily. She was very prompt in her responses and made sure the litter boxes and food/water station was all clean. I definitely recommend her!

I am a repeat customer of Arian’s. She is patient and calm with my skittish former feral kitties and they enjoy her visits! I don’t like being away from them but it makes it easier when I know they love their kitty sitter. 😁 You can tell Arian genuinely likes and understands cats. She sends great updates and photos too!

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZINGGG!!!! Couldn't have asked for a better angel to have taken care of my little Berry!! Arian was professional, had clear communication, took care of berry with the exact details I asked her too! I couldn't recommend anyone more! I now feel stress free knowing that there's someone to take care of my baby with the same depth of love that i do! Arian was so thorough with her explanations for every appointment, multiple photos and videos and immediately informed me if she saw anything of concern. She was prompt for every appointment, ALSO her photography skills are A++. Thank you Arian ! I appreciate you! Dee

Arian is the best with our boys! We always have such peace of mind when she’s taking care of them! She always goes above and beyond to give them the best care, but this time she even did more! One of our kitties had a small surgery a few weeks ago, and the incision was bigger than we thought it would be. Arian gave us awesome updates and put his antibiotic ointment on every day. And her pictures make us feel as though we’re right there! We’ve even framed a few!!

I could not have felt more confident leaving my (3) kitties in Arian's care while my family and I were out of state for a week. This is my first time ever hiring a pet sitter as I have an elderly cat with diabetes that requires special attention. Arian was very thorough during her visits sending me multiple pictures and videos daily. She left me written details with each and every visit assuring me that my cats were having the best time during our absence. She took initiative with medicating another one of my cats and performed some light housework like sweeping and taking out the trash. Arian even read my senior cat stories and showed him videos of birds since he was grumpy he couldn't go outside. I recommend Arian 100% and have found my cat sitter for life!

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 $25.00. 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!

Absolutely amazing! Arian not only met expectations she exceeded them. Everyday she sent pictures and messages to insure that she was well taken care of. The pictures she sent of my cat Alex was the highlight of each and every day!!! She gave me detailed messages about her mood, bodily functions, and so much more. Leaving for vacations are stressful because my cat is very special to me and she needs attention. Arian is the greatest fit for that. If anyone wants someone personable, humble, kind and caring she is the best to get!!! Welcome to our family Arian!!

This was our second time booking Arian and once again she did great with our kitties. Lots of adorable pics, detailed updates, and both my cats (even one that is a little more skittish) warmed up to her very quickly. She’s a wonderful sitter and I’m so glad we found her!!

Arian took care of my 9 kitties for the second time. They love her! Even my most shy little one let her pet and play with him. And the goofballs made a huge mess that Arian cheerfully cleaned. It's very comforting to know my babies are in Arian's care when I'm away. Thanks!
