I’ve learned that loving cats means respecting their boundaries as much as enjoying their affection. Luna is the queen of the "quiet hang," content to just exist in the same room as me, whereas Cash demands to be the center of the universe the moment I sit down. Balancing their different personalities has taught me so much about patience and observation. I’ve become an expert at reading the slight twitch of a tail or the specific pitch of a meow, and that deep connection makes our bond feel unbreakable. i love all cats and cannot wait to meet yours! :)

It's hard to put into words how grateful we are to have met Ernesto as our cat sitter. He really is a true cat lover. One who goes beyond expectations. One of our cats is very shy around new people but with Ernesto the shyness disappeared. We highly recommend Ernesto to look after your beloved cats. We will definitely book him next time.

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.

El Paso cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $22.00. 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!
