I'm Stefanie
Cat Sitting in Austin, TX
Today I have 1 cat and 1 dog that I couldn’t love more! Through all of my cats I’ve had to learn about giving pills, fluids, injections, and ear and eye drops.
My favorite part of cats... I have had a lifelong love of cats. Growing up we had 5 cats, 3 dogs, and various other small animals.
Today I have 1 cat and 1 dog that I couldn’t love more! Through all of my cats I’ve had to learn about giving pills, fluids, injections, and ear and eye drops.
My favorite part of cats is winning over even the grumpiest of the bunch. There’s something so satisfying about getting a grumplepuss to accept you! That’s not to say I don’t also adore the love bugs, because how can you resist an affectionate kitty!
There is nothing more pure and precious than the love of a cat.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve been cat sitting off and on for 15 years. And have learned with my own cats how to handle meds, shots and glucose monitors.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Currently Georgie is my only kitty right now. He’s a sweet little orange boy who I adore. He’s better trained than my dog and is just such a love bug
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I will usually sit on the floor with treats and let them come to me. I have found being calm and waiting for them to warm up is the best approach

Stefanie was amazing to work with and so accommodating. It was a last-minute booking but I left knowing my kitties were in great hands, and they certainly were!

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.

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 $27.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
