I'm Shelbi
Cat Sitting in Dallas, TX
While I don't currently have a cat of my own, I did grow up with cats (and dogs!), and pets have been a part of my life ever since! I've pet-sat over the years, and have experience with administering an assortment of different medications (topical, oral, and subcutaneous) to a variety of cats.
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.

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 great and so responsive when I had to extend my trip to Phoenix to be with my mom as she passed away. So Shelbi came on short notice and did a wonderful job caring for my cats and keeping me informed. I was so grateful to her.

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.

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!

Shelbi was amazing! Excellent communication. She always checked in when she arrived and provided lots of detailed photos of kitties, boxes, food and water. And despite telling her not to worry about the trash, she took it out for me anyway. I felt completely at ease every day of my vacation knowing Shelbi was on point. Great experience!

Shelbi is amazing! She really listened and actually took notes when she came over to meet my cats before sitting for me. My cat Max was unexpectedly sick during the time I had booked and she was able to Max his medications and even set up my bedroom as an isolation area for my sick cat while I was gone. I really appreciated all the pictures and updates she provided me, it felt good to know she was taking care of my babies while I was away, I'll definitely be booking with her again. Thank you Shelby!

We're so thankful we found Shelbi! She came for a meet and greet to see our place and meet our kitties. On the day she came to take care of the kitties, she messaged me that she was there and sent pics after she completed everything. She did exactly as we requested, for a puuurfectly cat-tastic experience. We 100% recommend Shelbi for all other cat parents!
