I'm Fernie | Cat Sitting in Austin, TX
This is Ferni! I am a seasoned vet tech and animal-passionate gal who recently started her own business to bring my skills home to your doorstep! Cat-sitting is nothing new to me - I have a lifetime of experience sitting on neighbors' cats, and about 6 years of experience at a feline-friendly, AAHA approved veterinary clinic. I have worked with cats of all age...
Fernie's Reviews
Karen
Fernie did such an amazing job with our three orange boys! One of them is a senior who needs fluids a few times a week along with topical medication and I was completely relaxed knowing he was in good hands. All three of them loved her and it was so fun to see the picture updates of them playing and eating. 😻

Fernie was absolutely feline-omenal! We have two rather shy/grumpy kitties, and Fernie was incredibly patient and caring with them both, being sure to respect their boundaries while discouraging fear. One of our kitties unfortunately has terminal lung cancer, so it was really assuring to know that we had a vet tech taking care of her in our absence, and she even taught us a couple of tricks for how to administer her many medications quickly and seamlessly. We can’t express our gratitude enough, and my only hesitation with writing this review is that we may not be able to as-easily book her in the future 😂

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 $29.00. 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.
