I'm Leilani
Cat Sitting in Houston, TX
I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, preferences, and routines. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands... Hi there! I’m a dedicated and attentive cat sitter with hands-on experience caring for cats of all personalities from shy observers to full-on chaos gremlins (yes, I proudly have an orange cat, so nothing surprises me 😄).
I understand that every cat has their own unique personality, preferences, and routines. My goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away—and to give you peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.
During each visit, I will:
• Confirm your address and securely access your home
• Provide fresh food and water
• Clean and maintain the litter box
• Handle light clean up (hairballs, litter tracking, food spills, etc.)
• Spend quality time with your cat: playing, engaging, or simply keeping them company (based on their needs and your request)
• Secure your home before leaving
After every visit, you’ll receive a detailed update covering your cat’s behavior, eating habits, litter box activity, and any health or environmental concerns I notice.
I truly enjoy getting to know each cat I care for, and I treat every home and pet with respect, patience, and attention to detail. I look forward to meeting you and your cat soon!

Leilani watched after my 2 cats, one an older shy cat and the other a younger more playful cat. She was kind and attentive. She was able to administer their medication in a way that made them feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend her and I would request her assistance in the future.

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!
