Cat Sitting in Dallas, TX

Hello! I'm Calin, and I have absolutely adored cats for as long as I can remember! I have grown up around many cats throughout my life, and have had a wide variety. I currently have 2 cats, a big adorable black cat named Klaus and a rambunctious orange kitty named Billy.

I'm Calin, and I have absolutely adored cats for as long as I can remember! I have grown up around many cats throughout my life, and have had a wide variety. I currently have 2 cats, a big adorable black cat named Klaus and a rambunctious orange kitty named Billy.

I understand some cats open up to new people very quickly, and others take a little getting used to. I am very patient when meeting new cats but also eager to get to know them. I enjoy playing with cats and letting them have lots of fun.

I have done cat sitting in the past for various friends, and have always had a great time spending some time of my day with other cats. A cats personality really comes out when it's feeding time!

I have just graduated at Texas State University with a degree in Theatre. I love playwriting, directing and have been acting since I was 10.

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

I have been cat sitting for a few years for Meowtel, and cared for a variety of cats, shy, playful, cuddly, feisty, etc. I've also done work for a few family friends in the past.

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

Firstly making sure that if there is a key to the house it's either stored in a safe spot, or with me at all times during the sitting process. Secondly knowing what kind of cat(s) I'm caring for! As stated previously all cats require a different kind of care. I always let the cat open up to me, if they are super loving, then so am I! If they are prone to scratching and like to keep their distance, then I never try to push it.

Calin was on time, took great care of our cats/litter boxes, and even did a couple extras like water plants and bring in the mail. We got pictures from him of our one friendly/needy cat, and she was able to get some much needed attention from him while we were away. It was great to have someone reliable so we could vacation without worry!

Calin was great with our cat, pumpkin. Pumpkin is a bit of a scaredy cat, but Calin respected his boundaries and made sure he was well taken care of, fed, had a clean litter box and kept him comfortable regardless. This is a professional who can work with all types of cat personalities. We are very happy with the care Calin provided and would 100% recommend and come back. Thank you!!

Calin did an amazing job! He was super informative when he would update me on my little man, and he took such wonderful care of him. You can really see how much Calin truly loves being with cats, and that translated so well to my cat while I was away. I can’t recommend him enough. He was polite, responsible, responsive, and overall just an amazing cat sitter!

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 $26.00. 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!
