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 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 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 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 $23.00. 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!

Cindy was great! She took the trash from cleaning my cats’ litter boxes out on her last visit, mixed my cats’ supplements in their wet food, and cleaned their dirty dishes each visit, and all with a broken wrist! I appreciated her updates and pictures. My cats were in great hands!

Cindy did a fantastic job! My 3 cats are often skittish of strangers, but they warmed up to Cindy immediately. I appreciate how she went above and beyond what was expected, especially when one cat went missing before Cindy came on the job. She helped bring him home safely. A+++++++++++++++++++++++

Cindy was wonderful and took great care of my cat. She can by for an initial quick meeting before I went out of town and we got her set up with my garage app to allow her entry while I was gone. She also texted me daily updating me on his mood, etc. sometimes sending pictures. In addition to that she brought in our mail every day. I will definitely call upon Cindy again in the future👍

Cindy was simply wonderful! She was great at taking care of my cat and went beyond what I requested! There were some optional things that I mentioned and she did them all! She also unpacked a giant box with frozen food that wasn’t supposed to arrive and placed them all in my freezer! All I can say is WOW, I am sooo glad I found Cindy! I got lots of photos and she was very communicative the whole time. Excellent all around and I couldn’t ask for anyone better! Would really hope she is available again when I need to go out of town next time :)

Cindy is amazing. Her first trip she was able to connect with my stray cat who hadn't been around people and that was awesome. One of my male cats is absolutely in love with her and can't wait for her attention. She is dedicated to making sure that the cats are well fed and litter boxes are clean. She is a jewel and I'm so happy I found her!

Cindy was responsive, professional, and patient with my three cats, who had just been moved from Los Angeles to Houston a few weeks before. She got to know them and kept them safe, fed, and entertained in our absence as we finished the move. We were grateful to have her!

Cindy is the ultimate cat whisperer. I have a grumpy elderly cat and a feisty younger one. She is excellent with each of them. She also posts excellent updates and photos and wonderfully handles all the cat-care minutae. I'm always happy when I'm able to book her and confident that my cats will be pampered by her.

Wow, what a trooper to complete the booking! You can be rest assured that your cat will receive the best care when Cindy is your pet sitter! She is just amazing and I hope she will be available the next time I go on a trip.
