Hello, all!

I'll make sure your cat(s) are properly fed, have water and clean litter, and have sufficient play time. If they enjoy cuddles or being brushed, I'll absolutely do that too.

I'll send along pictures and videos too, of course!

(While in your residence, I'll disinfect or clean surfaces as needed, and wash my hands frequently.)

Shelbi took absolutely amazing care of our diabetic cat Charlie while we were out of town. She stayed overnight with him during this stay and administered his insulin shots, kept us constantly updated and was incredibly responsive. Thank you Shelbi for being so loving and sweet to Charlie!!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Shelbi! From the very start, she went above and beyond — accommodating last-minute schedule changes without hesitation and making what could have been a stressful situation completely seamless for us. Our cat Purdie absolutely adored her, which honestly says everything. Shelbi was incredibly reliable, and we loved receiving daily photos that gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared about Purdie's wellbeing and treated her like her own. If you're looking for a cat sitter who is trustworthy, attentive, and truly passionate about the animals in her care, look no further than Shelbi. We are so grateful for everything she did, and we will absolutely be booking her again!

Shelbi is amazing! It was my first time using an app like this so I was a little nervous, but Shelbi went above and beyond to make sure my cats were cared for while I was gone. I would highly recommend her and would definitely rebook. I came home to two very happy cats!

Shelbi was amazing. I was very nervous as I had never used a sitter before. She took photos every visit and really put me at ease. Thank you so much!

Frequently Asked Questions

Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:


  • More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.

  • Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

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!
