Learn More About Chelsea
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I've been cat sitting for about seven years, since I was 15 and in high school. It started with watching cats for neighbors and family friends while they traveled, and it grew from there as people recommended me to others. Over the years I've cared for cats with all kinds of personalities, from outgoing and playful to shy and cautious, which has taught me to be patient and let each cat set the pace. I'm comfortable handling feeding schedules, litter box care, fresh water, playtime, and keeping owners updated with photos and messages. At 22, I bring years of hands-on experience and a lot of love for cats to every visit.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
What I enjoy most is earning a cat's trust. Cats have such distinct personalities: some greet you at the door, while others need a few visits before they'll come out from under the bed. I love learning each cat's quirks, like their favorite toy, the spot they like to be scratched, or how they prefer their food served, and adapting to what makes them comfortable. There's nothing better than the moment a shy cat finally curls up next to me. I also know how much peace of mind it gives owners to know their cat is safe, happy, and sticking to their routine while they're away, and I take that responsibility seriously.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I treat every home as if it were my own. Before the first visit, I go over the details with the owner, including feeding instructions, any health concerns, hiding spots, and their vet's contact information, so I'm prepared for anything. When I come and go, I make sure the cat isn't near the door so there's no chance of an escape, and I always double-check that doors and windows are locked before I leave. During each visit, I check that the cat is eating, drinking, and using the litter box normally, since changes in those habits can be an early sign of a problem. I also keep an eye out for anything unsafe, like open cabinets, loose cords, or toxic plants within reach. I send updates and photos after every visit so owners know their cat is doing well and their home is secure. If anything seems off, I contact

Chelsea was such a dear! I get really anxious when leaving my Lelu on vacation. However, Chelsea proved to be responsible in making sure my cat was well fed, entertained, and taken care of. In the future I definitely know who to ask for if I decide to go on vacation again.

Chelsea took care of my two 1-year-old cats, and I couldn't have asked for better. She was attentive and loving with them, and she sent photos and videos every single day, so I never had to wonder how they were doing. Even with my specific instructions on taking care of my babies, she was able to follow instructions very carefully. I'd trust her with my cats again and again. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.

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 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 Meet & Greet!
