I'm Gerardo
Cat Sitting in Dallas, TX
I do volunteer work for the SCPCA of Texas as a pet handler. I’ve gained extensive knowledge about cat behavior and body language, i.e., how to tell when they’re stressed, unhappy, scared or just plain excited to see you!
I also volunteer with Dallas Cat Lady as a foster parent. I take in cats in need of a place to stay outside of a stressful environment filled with other cats. That’... Howdy! I’m Gerardo, and I would love the chance to meet your precious fur baby!

I also volunteer with Dallas Cat Lady as a foster parent. I take in cats in need of a place to stay outside of a stressful environment filled with other cats. That’s when the fun begins! I get to learn about each of their indivual personalities so I can create an adoption profile, where people can get a glimpse of the big personality a small cat may have and (hopefully) fall in love with them!
Outside of cats, I’m an active member of Holy Trinity Catholic Church, where I also volunteer at the food pantry.
Thanks for the consideration. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions, concerns or just to say hi! 😄
Learn More About Gerardo
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Getting to know a cat’s unique personality! And just being amazed at the most intelligent things they are capable of. (Dogs could never! 😂)
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Always go with your gut! If it’s not a right fit, it’s not a right fit. And that’s okay!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
With ALOT of patience, time and space. Poor things are scared, and they don’t need additional pressure from a sitter to interact if they are not comfortable. I would love to meet them! But if they’re on the more reserved side, I can admire them from afar. 😁

Gerardo was such a treat! No pun intended, he did such a fantastic job caring for both of my cats while I was on a longer-than-usual vacation. He was prompt, intentional, and sent tons of photos of my boys (with funny captions for each one!). I had a complicated door code and very specific instructions for care on my cats and he hit every bullet every visit. At one point I was seeing issues with my front door locking remotely and he returned to my actual house to ensure that things were all squared away. Literally can’t sing his praises enough! Will definitely be booking with him again the next trip I take!

There was a booking issue with the app and the system left off a day. The app is really cumbersome to navigate.

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!
