Learn More About Ryan

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

I have a wide variety of experiences with cat sitting from low touch (food and litter while the cat prefers to hide) to more significant care including tube feeding and more intensive medicine administration. I have been caring for cats, aside from my own, for over 4 years. I think each time is a new opportunity to gain a cat's trust and I think that's a really rewarding feeling.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two- Gambit and Rogue. Gambit is the younger of the two (M, 1.5) and is a short haired tabby while Rogue (5, F) a medium haired tabby. They play like any brother/ sister type with the younger brother sometimes aggravating the older sister. They're very fun!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

My process is all about making both the parent and the cat feel comfortable from the start. I begin with a clear conversation about the cat’s routine, personality, likes, dislikes, and any medical needs. During the meet-and-greet, I let the cat approach at their own pace while I observe their body language. I ask detailed questions so I can keep their routine as close to normal as possible. Once visits start, I communicate clearly letting the parent know when I arrive, sharing photos and videos, and giving updates that help them feel totally at ease. My goal is to build trust, follow their preferences closely, and make the experience feel seamless and stress-free.

Ryan is an animal-lover through and through, and brings the same care and attention he has for his own pets to everyone else's. He is reliable, trustworthy, and finds joy in the quirky nature of cats (including my own!), always giving them play time as well as the essentials they need. He has taken on the care of my special needs cats when I have asked with no concerns, and will absolutely provide the care you need for your fur babies.

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.
