I'm Stephanie
Cat Sitting in Dallas, TX
I am a former zookeeper who’s moved into a different career path which means I would love to shower your pet with the same love and passion I gave to every animal I’ve cared for regardless of the species!
I have my BS in Animal Science (pre-veterinary medicine) and a couple AS degrees in exotic animal care, animal training and wildlife education.
I've house-sat and pet-sat for friends, family, coworkers, and clients for several years. I am very comfortable around animals of all shapes and sizes. I have worked and cared for domestic animals (cats, dogs, some birds and hoofstock) since I was a teenager; I started working with exotics in 2009... Hi there!

I've house-sat and pet-sat for friends, family, coworkers, and clients for several years. I am very comfortable around animals of all shapes and sizes. I have worked and cared for domestic animals (cats, dogs, some birds and hoofstock) since I was a teenager; I started working with exotics in 2009. I've also worked in veterinary clinics and am very familiar with medications, first aid, fluids, special diets and nearly everything that falls under the umbrella of basic veterinary care.
I'm known for taking way too many photos of animals so I will happily send you as many pictures as you'd like (and then some) to brighten your day while you're away from your pet. I completely understand how stressful it is to go out of town and worry that your babies are being cared for so I truly hope to alleviate that stress by showering them with love while you’re away.
Thank you so much for taking the time to consider putting your cat in my care and I hope to hear from you soon! Every cat has a preference of level of interaction and attention they want, so after speaking with you about your cats preferences I’ll be sure they get the attention they want and you can enjoy your vacation in peace!
Learn More About Stephanie
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 2 at home & those who is in my photos. Martini (gray tabby) has been with me since she was 9 months old, she just turned 17 this year. Quinzel (tortie) is my pandemic foster fail that I’ve had since she was found stray at 4 weeks.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
With my background in animal training & behavior, I tend to have great success with timid or shy cats. I go slow, change my body language to be less threatening, and use a soft & gentle voice. I frequently will put on cat calming YouTube videos in people’s home which I think helps them as well.

Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of my two cats while I was away on a seven-day cruise. She kept me updated the entire time, letting me know how they were doing, how they were eating, and even how they were playing. I really appreciated the regular photos she sent—they gave me peace of mind and made being away from them so much easier. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and my cats were happy and well cared for when I returned. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive cat sitter.

Stephanie was AMAZING! We felt so blessed by her and cannot wait to book her again. She was very communicative and sent us a paragraph update and multiple photos every visit. It made us at ease while we were on vacation because we knew the kitties were in such good hands!! She’s such a nice gal and knew how to interact with our two kitties different personalities. She also gifted us a nice thank you card and treats for the cats! Cannot say enough good things. Book Stephanie and you will not be disappointed!!!

Stephanie is so incredibly caring! She went the extra mile to take care of both my cat, Titus and myself as we were both a little nervous about being away from each other. My cat has a UTI history and so I’m always anxious being away from him. He did so well and I know it’s because Stephanie made him feel loved and cared for!

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.
Dallas cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!

Stephanie’s wonderful- she was great at getting our shy, older kitty to take her meds and she also sent great pictures of her playing with our younger kitty. We highly recommend her- it’s a great peace of mind to have her look after our fur babies while we’re gone.

I am so glad I hired Stephanie to watch my baby boy. Her updates and pictures made me feel (a liitle) less guilty for being away from home. I was worried about hiring a stranger but Stephanie was amazingly professional, warm and understanding of my pet parent neurosis. She also isn't a stranger anymore since my cat believes she is his new best friend. I will be using her again and again in the future.

Stephanie was fantastic! I’ve always been very anxious about leaving town and Stephanie instead made me feel so assured and at ease with her care. She sent me detailed updates with very cute pictures of my babies. She kept an eye out for one of my cats that had been injured the week prior to our trip and was so helpful with every request I had with my shy kitty. I appreciate amazing sitters and Stephanie is definitely one to be cherished! We could not have asked for a better sitter 🐱I would 100% recommend Stephanie to friends and family.

Stephanie has the experience I was looking for - she knows how to administer meds! When I met her, I couldn't have been more pleased - she listens attentively, understands what's needed, is friendly, open and smiles. She sent me updates and photos of my cats daily, which were greatly appreciated and put me at ease. I only have positive things to say about Stephanie and I hope she gets lots of jobs thru this website!!!

Stephanie was the best! Took care of our two cats for the weekend, they were so thankful to have someone there for them. Stephanie had great attention to details, took care of our home, went above and beyond bringing mail and packages inside, and really took the time to nurture a relationship with our babies. Excited to continue working with Stephanie.

Stephanie is a phenomenal cat sitter! she takes excellent care of my cats. She was even able to trim one cats nails, which I have difficulty doing, and my vet was actually unable to do because the cat hates getting his nails trimmed :). She sends lots of photos and takes excellent care of everyone while I’m gone. I feel like my cats are very well cared for when she is watching them.
Andrea

Stephanie is the best! She had great attention to detail. In addition to the basics (food, water, litter box), she made sure our cat got plenty of play time and love. She provided great updates and pictures. We hate leaving our cat when we travel but having a trusted sitter like Stephanie allowed us to relax and not worry. We definitely will be booking her again!

Stephanie was such a great cat sitter for my Gus Gus! I had a tall ask of asking her to visit daily for 2 weeks while I was overseas. She handled it perfectly and always reached out with updates. Stephanie worked well with my cat even though he was a little temperamental since I was gone for so long. I highly recommend booking with her because she is personable, knowledgeable, and great with my Gus Gus!!

Stephanie will always be our go to whenever we need someone to watch our fur babies. Ever since we first met her it just felt right. I used to get soo nervous being away and entrusting someone to watch our fur babies, but with Stephanie it’s as if there’s stress lifted off our shoulders and we can enjoy being out with out a worry if our kitties are being taken care of or not. What stands out about Stephanie every time is not just her love for animals but how genuine she is. Stephanie I can’t thank you enough for all that you do, you are heaven sent!
