Cat Sitting in Austin, TX

Hello, my name is Jaycie! I’m currently a full time college student doing online schooling through Arizona State University. I live with a sweet cat named Comet, who I got a little over a year ago after we spotted her all alone as a kitten living in an old car. I also grew up with three cats named Zeus, Goose, and Ninja, and they currently live in my hometown of San Antonio, TX!

I’ve been loving and caring for cats for as long as I can remember...
Hello, my name is Jaycie! I’m currently a full time college student doing online schooling through Arizona State University. I live with a sweet cat named Comet, who I got a little over a year ago after we spotted her all alone as a kitten living in an old car. I also grew up with three cats named Zeus, Goose, and Ninja, and they currently live in my hometown of San Antonio, TX!

I’ve been loving and caring for cats for as long as I can remember. I have experience in working with shy kitties, playful kitties, wounded kitties, grumpy kitties, and more! Befriending countless cats has allowed me to understand their body language, comfort levels, and any little personality traits that makes each cat special!

I strive to make sure each cat has personalized care. I am great at following instructions and staying aware of how a kitty may be feeling. During each visit to your home I will be sure to have intentional and meaningful playtime with your kitty.

I will be respectful of your home, be punctual, keep you updated, and send pictures of your cat!

I want to treat every cat with a great amount of love, care, affection, and patience, just like I would my own. I hope to meet you and your kitty soon!

Learn More About Jaycie

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

I cat sat my first cat when I was in 7th grade which was about 9 years ago! I have always had cats in my home though.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to meet new cats and learn about their personalities. Im grateful that I am able to confidently give a cat proper care while their owner is away.

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

I have a cat named Zeus who is quite the anxious kitty so I have plenty of experience in an area like this. I always approach things slowly. I will make myself smaller and not move quick at all. I wilk stick to their routine and ensure that they are as comfortable as possible.

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 $26.00. 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!
