I have had cats for over 30 years. I have even given insulin to our diabetic cat for over 4 years
I will visit 1 or 2 times a day to feed, give fresh water, scoop out litter box and spend 20-30 minutes giving my love and attention. I will sit down and brush your kitty as long as is tolerated. I will play with them with any and all the toys they love.
I will treat your baby as I would like mine treated.

Laurel is wonderful with our cat, Oskar! She’s been working with us for years after being recommended by a close friend (whose dog she looks after) and is reliable, trustworthy and always accommodates our schedule even if she’s already got a jam packed day. She makes traveling infinitely less chaotic and even brings in our mail while we’re gone, takes out trash, etc. Would highly recommend trying out her services!

We have trusted Laurel with our pets for over 10 years, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. During that time, she has lovingly cared for three of our cats, providing the same level of attention, compassion, and reliability every single visit. Laurel is an excellent communicator and always keeps us updated with messages and photos, which gives us tremendous peace of mind when we’re away. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure our pets are comfortable, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s following special instructions, monitoring their well-being, or simply giving them extra love and attention, Laurel handles everything with professionalism and genuine care. Finding someone you can completely trust with your beloved pets is invaluable, and Laurel has earned that trust many times over. We always know our cats are in the best hands when she’s caring for them, and we are incredibly grateful for the dedication and kindness she has shown our family over the years.

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 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!
