I'm Stephanie | Cat Sitting in Carrollton, TX

Hi there! 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. 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 l...

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 16 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 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!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Carrollton 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.
