Cat Sitting in Houston, TX

I've had cats my entire life. I currently own two 17 year old sisters that I rescued at 3 weeks, when their feral mom was killed by a car. They truly think I am their mother! I've always enjoyed taking care of cats and have owned many senior cats. Kittens are a treat to take care of- so energetic and full of fun. I'm very compassion... I've had cats my entire life.

I've always enjoyed taking care of cats and have owned many senior cats. Kittens are a treat to take care of- so energetic and full of fun. I'm very compassionate and have experience administering medications. My gentle approach and calm demeanor ensures that your cat will be content and happy while you're gone. I work part time and am available every day and evening. Dependability is of the utmost importance. Your peace of mind is my business!

I've never met a cat that I didn't adore.

Learn More About Cindy

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

Cats have been in my life since I was a baby- and that was a long time ago! I've owned cats since adulthood, and my home has never been without at least one. I've been sitting cats for years and in my opinion, they ARE like people- their personalities vary as much as ours do.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy interacting with cats. They are so interesting. Some are instantly your pal, others take a little time. Either way, they need to feel comfortable when their owner is out and I do my very best to ensure that.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have two senior sisters, Barbara and Dorothy. I've had them since 2007, when they were 3 weeks old. Their feral mother was killed by a car. They truly think I'm their mother and follow me everywhere.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

To look no further than this site! I'm not only a sitter, I'm a client. The sitters I've used have been nothing short of AMAZING.

Cindy is the best! She's showers my sweet lap cat and my grumpy cat with love and care. Her updates (with pictures) are a welcome relief when I'm traveling. Thank you Cindy for your excellent care of my kitties!

Cindy took great care of my two cats! One especially has a lot of particular needs (several medications, GI issues), and Cindy was great at taking care of all the details and making sure she got all her medicine without stressing her out. She provided prompt and detailed updates, and even tidied up before I got home. I would definitely book Cindy again in the future!

Cindy loves cats and it shows in her care. She goes above and beyond basic feeding and watering. She made sure eating area remained clean, refreshed litter when needed while scooping daily. She is dependable in sending pics and providing daily status.

Cindy was so good with my 2 Siberian cats! They loved her...even my more aloof queen warmed up to her in no time! She was prompt and even agreed to early morning visits, played with the gals, fed them, sent pics with a quick report of the visit, cleaned up and scooped every day, and my place looked even better than when I left it! She even (per my request) gave some treats to a friendly stray who hangs around my apartment. :) Cindy really knows cats and is a joy to talk to! She’s trustworthy and I will definitely be booking her again very soon!

This was my first time to use Meowtel and Cindy was the purrfect choice! Setting up everything was very easy and Meowtel was quick to assist when I needed to update the times/day. My 18-yr old cat LOVED Cindy! Usually, he gets very stressed when we're out of town. This was also his first time alone (he lost his brother 6 mos earlier), so I was a little concerned he wouldn't eat as much. To my great surprise, he ate and spent a lot of time on Cindy's lap! She sent us updates and images every visit and I was so happy and relieved that he did so well. Cindy also got our mail a couple of times which was very nice. It was an overall GREAT experience and I will happily use Meowtel and Cindy on our next trip! Thank you so much!

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!
