I'm ChinLin & my love for cats developed unexpectedly during COVID. Now I am 1000% a cat lady. I am thoughtful & big on communication. Open to any of your questions and will follow instructions on conducting the care your cat needs to the T and of course with extra TLC. I have taken care of solo cats and bonded pair cats in the Dallas and the northern suburbs in recent years. I'm comfortable with adolescent to senior-aged cats. Additionally, I love taking pictures and videos so that is something I can provide during the sitting so that you are satisfied and feel relief.

Learn More About Chinlin

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

Roughly 2-3 years of cat sitting and I have cat-sat for a senior cat who had a special diet and I have cat-sat for a bonded pair (1 boy, 1 girl) on multiple occasions.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy spending time with different personalities. It's always interesting to come across cats that are extra loving or cats that have no interest in being near me. While the latter , in my opinion, would make me sad, it reminds me that many cats just want their space. I enjoy their company and the ones that let me play with them, I truly relish that time.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one tabby cat named Matcha. I adopted her January of 2021 and she was roughly 2.5 years old at the time. Now she's 8 and I can't believe how much she's opened up to visitors

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.

Garland cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!
