I'm David | Cat Sitting in Houston, TX

As a dedicated cat lover with over eight years of hands-on experience caring for felines, I bring both passion and expertise to every interaction. My journey began when I adopted my own cat, Ellie, as a timid 3-month-old rescue. Through patience, routine vet visits, and attentive care, she’s blossomed into a thriving, confident 5-year-old who’s the heart of our home. This experience taught me the importance of understanding a cat’s unique personality, dietary needs, and comfort zones—skills I’ve honed while caring for cats of all ages and temperaments over the years, from playful kittens to senior cats requiring gentle support. I’m skilled in administering medications like eye/ear drops, oral pills, a...

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

With eight years of dedicated cat sitting, I’ve cared for a wide variety of feline companions, from energetic kittens to senior cats needing gentle support. Over the years, I’ve adapted to every personality and need, whether it’s coaxing a shy rescue out of hiding, maintaining strict feeding routines, or ensuring playful breeds stay engaged. My experience spans different breeds, ages, and temperaments, giving me the patience and insight to make every cat feel safe and loved while their owners are away.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I love most about cat sitting is the unique bond I get to form with every feline I care for learning their quirks, earning their trust, and seeing their personalities shine. Whether it’s soothing an anxious cat with gentle play, mastering the art of giving medication without stress, or simply sharing quiet moments with a curled-up companion, I thrive on making their world feel safe and joyful. It’s deeply fulfilling to know I’m not just caring for pets, but also giving their owners the priceless gift of peace while they’re apart.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My beloved cat Ellie has been my constant companion since I adopted her at just three months old. Over the past five years, she’s grown from a skittish, wide-eyed kitten into a confident, affectionate soul who rules our home with gentle chirps and head-butts. Her journey, from hiding under the couch on day one to now greeting guests with curiosity, reflects the trust we’ve built together. She’s my daily reminder of how patience and love can transform even the tiniest, most uncertain life into something extraordinary.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

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 $28.00. 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.
