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

I’ve been cat sitting for 20 years, but my experience with cats goes far beyond that. I’ve had cats in my life for as long as I can remember, and I currently care for three of my own. Over the years, I’ve provided cat sitting services for friends, family, and clients—caring for cats of all breeds, temperaments, and ages, including shy rescues, playful kittens, and senior cats. This hands-on experience has given me a strong understanding of feline behavior, body language, and daily care routines. I know how to create a calm, safe environment for cats and can quickly adapt to each cat’s unique personality. Whether it’s feeding, administering medication, litter box maintenance, or just spending quality time, I’m confident in my ability to provide loving and reliable care. I have been working with Meowtell for over a year now and I love it!

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

When looking to hire a cat sitter, it’s important to find someone who is not only trustworthy but also genuinely understands and respects feline behavior. Here’s some key advice I’d offer: 1. Look for Experience with Cats Not all pet sitters are experienced with cats, so ask about their specific background with felines. Cats have unique needs and personalities, and a sitter who understands cat body language, routines, and possible stress triggers will provide better care. 2. Schedule a Meet-and-Greet Always arrange a meeting beforehand so you can observe how the sitter interacts with your cat and ask questions about their approach. It’s also a chance to walk them through your home, routines, feeding, litter box cleaning, and emergency protocols. 3. Ask for References and Reviews A reputable sitter will be happy to provide references from other cat owners or direct you to online reviews. This helps ensure they have a track record of reliability and responsible care.

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

As your cat sitter, your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. Here are the steps I take to make sure your cat is safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away: 1. Secure Environment: I carefully follow your instructions regarding which areas of the home the cat is allowed in, ensuring windows and doors are properly closed or locked to prevent escapes. 2. Routine Checks: During each visit, I do a head-to-tail visual check of your cat for any signs of illness or injury, and I monitor eating, drinking, and litter box habits to catch any issues early. 3. Emergency Preparedness: I keep your vet’s contact information on hand and know where the nearest emergency clinic is located. I also carry a pet first aid kit and am trained in basic pet first aid procedures. 4. Safe Handling: I handle all interactions with your cat calmly and gently, respecting their boundaries and body language to avoid

I cannot recommend Jennifer enough. I’m not exaggerating when I say she is the best cat-sitter I’ve ever had. She kept me completely informed about my baby every single visit. It is so clear that she really cares about cats, and takes the sitting very seriously. There was even a potential fire in my complex’s apartment and after freaking out and letting Jennifer know she promptly jumped into action. Thankfully the fire was contained before reaching my unit, but Jennifer still went to check on Cricket just in case! She went above and beyond and I can now enjoy my vacation knowing Ms Cricket is being extremely well cared for.

Jennifer was a wonderful sitter! My cats loved playtime and treats and she always made sure feeders, water and litter were full! Even when their auto feeders went down she messaged me so we could get them online. I’d highly recommend her caring and loving pet care!

Jennifer is absolutely amazing! She took excellent care of my two kitties. Really worked hard to get my shy one to come out of hiding for some loving 😊. She sent me so many pictures and videos each day. Took extraordinary great care of the litter boxes and food bowls. Very professional! Highly recommend Jennifer ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jennifer was able to help us with our kitties over Christmas. I am so grateful to her for providing us with such incredible service! I have 3 cats who all have different dietary requirements and food. Plus a special needs cat who needs medicine twice per day. Jennifer is caring and responsible, and I always feel safe leaving them in her care.

Jennifer is fantastic! She did a phenomenal job watching over our cat Gus for two weeks. We took an overseas trip and were never concerned about him because she gives thorough updates each visit. She is very nice and professional but best of all she feels like a friend or family member was watching over him because of the level of care given. She provides plenty of photos, which I loved. It was nice to see him clearly loving on her. I can tell Gus had a great time with Jennifer.

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!
