Cat Sitting in Dallas, TX

Hi there!

I am a former zookeeper who’s moved into a different career path which means I would love to shower your pet with the same love and passion I gave to every animal I’ve cared for regardless of the species!

I have my BS in Animal Science (pre-veterinary medicine) and a couple AS degrees in exotic animal care, animal training and wildlife education.

I've house-sat and pet-sat for friends, family, coworkers, and clients for several years. I am very comfortable around animals of all shapes and sizes. I have worked and cared for domestic animals (cats, dogs, some birds and hoofstock) since I was a teenager; I started working with exotics in 2009...
Hi there!

I am a former zookeeper who’s moved into a different career path which means I would love to shower your pet with the same love and passion I gave to every animal I’ve cared for regardless of the species!

I have my BS in Animal Science (pre-veterinary medicine) and a couple AS degrees in exotic animal care, animal training and wildlife education.

I've house-sat and pet-sat for friends, family, coworkers, and clients for several years. I am very comfortable around animals of all shapes and sizes. I have worked and cared for domestic animals (cats, dogs, some birds and hoofstock) since I was a teenager; I started working with exotics in 2009. I've also worked in veterinary clinics and am very familiar with medications, first aid, fluids, special diets and nearly everything that falls under the umbrella of basic veterinary care.

I'm known for taking way too many photos of animals so I will happily send you as many pictures as you'd like (and then some) to brighten your day while you're away from your pet. I completely understand how stressful it is to go out of town and worry that your babies are being cared for so I truly hope to alleviate that stress by showering them with love while you’re away.

Thank you so much for taking the time to consider putting your cat in my care and I hope to hear from you soon! Every cat has a preference of level of interaction and attention they want, so after speaking with you about your cats preferences I’ll be sure they get the attention they want and you can enjoy your vacation in peace!

Learn More About Stephanie

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 2 at home & those who is in my photos. Martini (gray tabby) has been with me since she was 9 months old, she just turned 17 this year. Quinzel (tortie) is my pandemic foster fail that I’ve had since she was found stray at 4 weeks.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

With my background in animal training & behavior, I tend to have great success with timid or shy cats. I go slow, change my body language to be less threatening, and use a soft & gentle voice. I frequently will put on cat calming YouTube videos in people’s home which I think helps them as well.

Stephanie is truly one-of-kind! Our kitties warmed right up to her, even my shyest girl. She was attentive, took so many photos which I really appreciated, and kept our place in tip top shape. Coming home to clean boxes, clean Litter Genies, full water fountains, and happy cats is all I could ask for. She even left some treats for the kitties! Would highly, highly recommend. I will be booking Stephanie for all trips moving forward if at all possible.

Stephanie was truly wonderful. She sent photos of my Henry playing, relaxing, getting scratched - so happy and so content! And my house might have been cleaner when I got home then when I left. Stephanie is a professional and a treasure!

Stephanie did an amazing job taking care of my two cats while I was away on a seven-day cruise. She kept me updated the entire time, letting me know how they were doing, how they were eating, and even how they were playing. I really appreciated the regular photos she sent—they gave me peace of mind and made being away from them so much easier. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after, and my cats were happy and well cared for when I returned. I would absolutely recommend Stephanie to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and attentive cat sitter.

My two rescue kittens are so afraid of people that they hide in whatever deep spaces they can find. Stephanie was patient and loving so much that they actually felt safe and interacted with her. Stephanie sent me photos everyday to share how happy they were despite me being gone. I will absolutely ask her to watch the girls next time I find myself needing a sitter. Thank you Stephanie!

Stephanie did an excellent job of caring for my two big boys for the first time. She came for six days and fed them, cleaned up, brushed and played with them each day. I highly recommend her and will definitely book her again!

Stephanie was a amazing. She was so kind and encouraging. During visits she actively engaged with my baby, Cleo and gave her all thr love she needed during my vacation. On top of that she gave detailed updates and sent pictures after each visit. She even went beyond her role by helping with cleaning up. I truly appreciate Steohanie and I know Cleo does too. I will definitely book her again when I need a sitter, I know Cleo can’t wait to see her again.

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.
  • 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned 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!
