Are you usually available during holidays?

I am almost always available during holidays. My regular job is 24/7/365, and so I’m usually in town for holidays. I’m happy to help with your cat during busy holiday times.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

It sounds lazy, but I generally just sit quietly in the home, near wherever the cat is. I may read, or look at my phone for a while. Being quiet and still honestly works most of the time. Cats can be timid, but they’re also curious. They almost always come out to check me out. It’s a great way to keep them comfortable, and let the meeting be on their terms.

Our little girl Arya loves Michelle! In the past, when we'd leave her with a sitter, she would not do so well with anxiety: poor grooming, throwing up, etc. Since using Michelle and Meowtel, Arya has been doing really well. When we returned home from our trip, our girl was calm, happy, and not very distressed at all. I certainly think Michelle has made her feel more comfortable while we are gone and this has allowed Arya to not dread the annual trip so much.

Michelle took such great care of KiKi and my home during her overnight stays. She was kind and patient with my sweet elderly kitty. It gave me a lot of peace during my trip & is sooo appreciated! I will definitely use her again and highly recommend!

Michelle took excellent care of my shy indoor kitty and more shy outdoor feral. She provided timely and detailed updates which really helped make me feel great about my kitty's condition. I'll definitely call on Michelle again, the next time I travel.

Michelle was very accommodating to my schedule and took good care of my two cats. She spent quality time and asked if I had treats to entice my cat who is a little timid.

Michelle is amazing and surpassed my expectations. My cat is scared of anyone but me. He runs under the bed when anyone visits. Michelle was able to get him out and talking to her with a ton of patience and persistence. She sent updates & pictures on every visit & even picked up packages for me!

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 $26.00. 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.
