Learn More About Adriene

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

My experience is extensive in administering cat meds for the last 15 years (diabetic cats and some other feline issues). I have been around cats and cared for them for over 20 years of my life. I am great with all kinds of temperaments, medicines, quirks, escape artists ... you name it, I have dealt with it. I always make sure that their spaces are clean, happy and they are fed according to how you do it! My main goal is your happiness and ability to trust that your babies are cared for while you are away.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting cats, simply said. Their personalities are so fun, even the skittish ones, and they're just absolutely hilarious. I love their faces, the toe beans, the whole rigamarole. They're all beautiful and fun and quirky.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have five! I have one big grey tabby, his name is Infinite Mugen. The loveliest, clingiest and wumpy little tabby that demands to be called Catra. Then the younger twins - a very cute bright orange and white buddy named Jakey From State Farm, and his sister, Calliope Beanut Butter.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Hire a sitter who will make sure their areas are always clean, comfortable and left in a compassionate and calm state. My Four Cs have made very happy kitty parents, and I treat each animal like my own. You should always hire someone that gives excellent service and leaves your cats contented and cared for.

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

I love to do a meet and greet to make sure we are a good fit for each other. I am very experienced with everything from ferals to super primadonna emperors of the feline variety!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I always make sure that doors are locked and have a proven method of shuffling my feet at the door to ensure no escape artists are let out of their confinement. I am used to escape artist cats, even the more aggressively-tempered ones, and have gotten good at predicting nonsense patterns.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes I am! I am available on holidays and also during emergencies on holidays. I understand that life happens, and your cats are safe in my care while you enjoy your festivities.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Anything that drags, and the all-time-classic laser pointer!

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I use the wait and ignore approach, taking time to sit on the floor or wait on the couch until they come out to eat. Especially on overnight stays. I use the employ of treats after the first visit, if treats are allowed. I have found the best approach is always to let them approach.

This was my first time using Meowtel, and I was super stoked that Adriene was able to watch my two boys on short notice. Tubbins was recently diagnosed with asthma, and isn't quite used to receiving his inhaler, let alone from a stranger. Adriene worked her magic and was able to administer his meds! She communicated throughout my trip, and I'd definitely use her again!

Adriene is incredible! It makes such a difference to go out of town knowing your animal is loved and taken care of in the best way. She is quick to communicate, takes pictures and gives you updates. Adriene even picked up an extra day for me because my trip ran longer. Thank you!! 😊 Highly recommend!! 💜

Adriene’s primary concern is the happiness and health of any cat in her vicinity. Even if she’s not actively cat-sitting, it’s just in her nature to make sure they’re loved and comfortable and happy. Cats respond in kind - even the ones that “never come up to people” find themselves in her lap. She’s just a cat person, and cats know it!

Adriene has known me and my cat for many years now and she's always handled him very well. He's got some aggression yet she handles him with care and has never had an incident with him. I've never once seen her get angry with an animal, she really is a person of great patience and care. She adores animals and would make an excellent caretaker for any animal; she's even cared for birds and exotic animals, as well as reptiles.

My cat Greg is a particularly rude boy, known for fits of rage and moments where he needs to be handled a certain way. When watching Greg, Adriene was able to determine the best source of his stress was separation anxiety. She was able to maneuver around Greg during his fits and ensure he got used to her without the need for shouting / physical touch. Now, he's as cuddly as can be and doesn't immediately hide when strangers come over!

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.
