I'm Cecelia | Cat Sitting in Houston, TX

Cats are unique creatures, and caring for them requires adaptability. During my time as a manager at Houston's only cat cafe - El Gato Coffeehouse - I learned how to adapt to the needs of hundreds of cats. Those cats have now found their forever homes, and my goal is to keep them comfortable and happy while their family is away. I like to meet each cat at their own comfort level. If your cat is shy, standoffish, playful, or cuddly - I will make sure they're safe and comfortable no matter what. Whether it's playing or cuddling or just chit-chat...

Learn More About Cecelia

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

I have over five years of experience in cat sitting, ranging from daily check-ins to short-term live-ins. I fostered cats for several years, often providing emergency care for cats found in need. My time at the cat cafe taught me to care for cats in distress during high pressure situations, and every cat I am responsible for has always received the medical attention they need.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I find cats that are initially hesitant to be very rewarding to care for. One little girl hid under the bed for the first booking, but was purring like a motor a few days later when she let me pet her. It takes time and patience to build trust with hesitant or scared cats, and it's wonderful when a scared cat warms up and accepts comfort. I can become fast friends with even shy kittens!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I have two wonderful cats! One is named Soup, a tabby I adopted from the cat cafe. Initially, I took her home to recover from an illness and planned to return her to the cafe, but she became my “foster fail” as I couldn’t part with her. From the first night, her cuddly, playful nature stole my heart, and I knew she was my forever kitty. My second cat, Nyx, is very affectionate and loves to cuddle by my side, though she can be grumpy if woken up. Unless it's for food, then she comes running. I love them both with all my heart and they bring so much joy to my life!

I can’t gush about Cecelia enough. She was amazing. Truly above and beyond. If you’re even a little worried about leaving your cat with someone, don’t fear, just book Cecelia.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Houston cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
