I have seventeen years experience caring for cats. I've spent several years in the veterinary field, including in exotic pet medicine.

I care for clients cats as I would want my cats treated, it's as simple as that! You can be rest assured when in my care, your cats are given 100% of my attention and love. My goal is to not only make the cats as comfortable as possible but also to ensure their owners have peace of mind while away from their kiddos!

I keep in constant contact with my clients and always send pictures of their fur babies. If you choose me to care for your cats, I will make sure your kiddos are safe and comfortable while you're away.

Learn More About Michele

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

I have been professionally cat sitting for over 17 years with my entire career in veterinary care. I have experience with medication and IV fluid administration.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

My process is very straightforward. After a new customer contacts me, I give them available dates/times for a meet and greet (Meet and Greets are a requirement of mine). During the meet and greet I go over what they can expect from my visits and encourage pet owners to ask as many questions as possible.

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

My philosophy on this is to always allow the cat to come to me. If that means sitting on the floor for the entire visit than that’s what I do. I will never force interaction with a cat.

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.

Houston cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
