I'm Denise | Cat Sitting in Houston, TX

Hello and I graciously welcome You and your Special fur babies to Meowtel. I am a professional Purrfect Mom Cat Sitter. I service many areas in Houston/Harris County, however, I reside in 77070. The new platform with Meowtel allows us to pick 2 (two) zip codes as our primary locations. My Purrect Fur Baby Sitter zip codes are 77070 & 77069. I am available for additional zip codes in Houston/Harris County and surrounding areas. I recently received the latest covid vaccination on September 21, 2023. If you reside outside of 77070 & 77069, I am available for additional zip codes in Houston/ Harris County, however, the rates are slightly different due to the additional distance. Hello, my name is Denise and I have loved and lived with cats since I was a child. I will treat your fur babies and your home the same as my own, as if they were my babies. My cats are family members and are spoiled. I will Pamper your fur babies with EXTRA love and care. I bring extra toys to each visit because I absolutely enjoy playing with all my furry babies! I am available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, I am extremely flexible and 100% reliable. I am always just a call away. I send approximately 25 to 40 photos from each visit. I love animals, especially cats I have had cats all of my life. I currently have 2 cats, DD (Delilah) & Silverbelles and a grandmother to my son's cat, Pixie. My cats think we are all cats or they think we are all humans. I have also been a foster mom to cats/kittens all of my life. Please contact me if you are more than 15 miles away, I will consider any reservation. I offer a free 20-30 minute Meet & Greet (either in-person or via Zoom, as you prefer) to learn as much as possible about your fur babies and how to best take care of them while you are away. Many times my Meet & Greet can last over an hour. I take the time to stay and talk long enough for you to get to know me and ask any and all questions. My clients feel absolutely confident in leaving their fur babies and key with me without any reservations. I am very observant and I follow all instructions from my clients. To give some insight with one of my clients, fur baby. I cat-sit with a cat named Banana's and Banana's likes for me to give her "Piggy Back" rides. She actually will jump on my back and neck and she loves to go for what I call, "Piggy Back" rides. I am more than happy to accommodate ...

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

I have been cat sitting since 2021, but I have been around cats and kittens for most of my life. Growing up, I had cats with me since I was a little girl. While I was working, it was common for me to have "work" cats. I would keep cat food in my personal vehicle and feed the cats as soon as I arrived at work and again after my shift ended. My coworkers would often see the cats approaching me after work and would ask, "Is that your cat?" I would confidently reply, "Absolutely, yes." I typically worked six days a week, and on my days off, I would worry about the cats not eating.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I absolutely love caring for pets! I have many clients, and I especially adore their cats. I've found myself falling in love with a lot of them. There’s a sign on my kitchen table that says, "Do What You Love and Love What You Do!" My husband often mentions how much I love cats, so cat sitting is a perfect opportunity for me. I could spend all day playing with these furry friends!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I have a fur baby who loves to hide and open all kinds of doors, especially those leading to kitchen and bathroom cabinets. Most of the fur babies that hide from me end up becoming my best friends. They seem to have an instinct for determining whether someone is a cat person, and it’s usually spot on. Most of my fur babies are excited to see me, and we have a lot of fun playing together. I always make sure to see all my fur babies before I leave a sitting job. I am dedicated to staying there all day, if necessary, until I find the one that’s hiding, and it usually doesn’t take long. I once had a client who created hiding spots in his home for one of his cats to evade me, but I managed to find that cat, too.

Denise was super communicative and took so many cute photos of my cats while I was away! I highly recommend her because I've never seen anyone bring their own cat toys to entertain my cats and that really show how much she cares about your cats and making sure they're happy.

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.
