I'm Kathryn
Cat Sitting in Austin, TX
I’m a lifelong cat lover, experienced pet sitter, and proud former parents of two magestic main coon and ragdoll mixed floofs. I grew up with cats and have cared for everything from playful troublemakers to sweet seniors with medical needs including IBS & Heart Disease.
I ... Hi, I’m your cat’s new emotional support bestie while you are away.
I’m a lifelong cat lover, experienced pet sitter, and proud former parents of two magestic main coon and ragdoll mixed floofs. I grew up with cats and have cared for everything from playful troublemakers to sweet seniors with medical needs including IBS & Heart Disease.
I love learning each kitty’s personality and matching their vibe, whether that means playtime, alone time or couch cuddles.
✨Expect thoughtful updates, cute photos, and a sitter who will absolutely tell your cat how cute they are 100 times per visit. My goal is to make you and your cat feel safe, relaxed, and entertained while you are apart.
Learn More About Kathryn
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have cared for neighbors and friends pets in the past - including dogs and cats. I started babysitting and pet sitting as a teen.
What is your favorite cat toy?
Crinkle balls and wand toys are usually a big hit! If a cat doesn’t seem into toys, I usually see if they want to hunt for treats or be brushed instead.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I usually let them come to me, try to distribute my scent near them so they can sniff me before approaching, and keep the energy calm, quiet, and inviting.

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!
