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!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I always follow any specific security instructions provided by the homeowner, such as setting alarms or managing access codes. I maintain a safe environment by keeping harmful objects, toxic plants and foods out of reach. (Cats love playing with trash!) I am always closely monitoring their behavior and health, documenting and communicating any changes.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes I am! I am a perfect sitter if you need someone with holiday availability. I am happy to be a sitter during Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Summer and Winter breaks. I always prioritize cats!

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

I start by giving the cat space and time to adjust to my presence, avoiding any sudden movements or loud noises that might startle them. Creating a calm environment is key, so I speak softly and move slowly. I let the cat come to me at their own pace, offering treats or toys as positive reinforcement to build trust. Understanding each cat's unique personality helps me tailor my approach to their comfort level. I also maintain their regular routines as much as possible to provide a sense of stability. If a cat remains particularly anxious, I use techniques like gentle petting or brushing, depending on their preference, and ensure they have a safe, quiet space to retreat to if they feel overwhelmed. Regular communication with the owner helps me stay informed about the cat’s specific needs and preferences!

She was fabulous and also got our very shy cat to come out of the closet and play! Doudou never did that before with new people. Cecilia is the cat whisperer. Highly recommend!

Cecelia is the best cat sitter I've had so far. We have two thirteen-year-old cats, and since we both work from home, they are super attached to us. So when we left them with Cecelia for 2.5 weeks, (this was our second time with her) we were leaving two helpless, stressed cats who did not know what happened to their parents. Cecelia was amazing, feeding, cleaning but mostly also loving the cats. The stressed cats peed and threw up. She cleaned it all. She left us a clean home and two fed , healthy cats to come back to. I also want to say that Cecelia is a great writer. Every day, morning and evening, we got detailed report and pictures. She is a huge part of our happy vacation. She is definitely our Cat Lady. Definitely very highly recommend!!!!!

Cecelia was wonderful! From the meet and greet alone, I knew my cats were in good hands. She asked every possible question to ensure she would have what she needed to go take care of my cats and home. Cecelia shared detailed messages and super cute pictures each visit. She really cares about what she’s doing and it shows. Don’t hesitate. Book Cecelia for your next Meowtel reservation!

We found our favorite sitter! Since moving to Houston, I’ve been trying to find the right person to care for my Cardamom, and Cecelia absolutely exceeded all expectations! Going above and beyond in every way. From the detailed updates with photos and videos to taking the time to really get to know Cardi’s routine and personality. From the start, Cecelia was so thoughtful and thorough with all the questions, making sure every detail was covered. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Cardi was in such caring and capable hands. Truly a stress-free experience for us and my fur baby, it made me feel so at ease while I was away. We are super thankful!!

Cecelia watched my two cats for 10 days over the winter holidays. One of my cats is very shy but, based on Cecelia's messages and the excellent photos she sent, seemed to come out of his shell around her. My other cat is outgoing but also had been having medical issues right before I left. I was nervous to leave him for 10 days but after chatting with Cecelia and discussing treatment plans if his symptoms returned, I felt confident she'd take good care of him and keep me in the loop. She did an excellent job and left my apartment spotless. Next time I'm going out of town I will definitely rebook with Cecelia.

Cecelia was so wonderful with our two old lady cats! We were gone for 2 weeks, so it was a long time to be away. I heard from her around the same time every morning with updates on their demeanor, medication, eating habits, any issues that arose, and (gorgeous!) photos. It helped us be fully present and enjoy our vacation knowing they were being well looked after and receiving consistent communication.

Cecelia did a great job with my typically timid Siamese ! My cat loves affection and attention but like many fur babies, she needed a moment to scope Cecelia out. Cecelia quickly understood how to best interact with my cat to gain her interest and affection without pushing her boundaries or frightening her, and they quickly became fast friends. By the end of the session, my baby would even greet her with a lovely Siamese meow! She was also very personable, and timely with her visits and made sure to scoop my cat's litter box with every stay. I know my sweet angel will look forward to her next visit when I am out of town. Thank you for relieving me (and my baby) of our typical travel anxiety!

Cecelia is one of three sitters I use on the app and she has officially taken 1st place. When I arrived home after a very weird travel week my cats seemed relaxed and happy. She even got my stand offish cat to be her buddy! I felt so at ease while I was away knowing that Cecelia was going to be there to check in on my kitties. From a very anxious cat mom I cannot recommend Cecelia enough! I would give her 10 stars if I could🥰

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 $25.00. 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.
