Your cats can enjoy the familiarity of their own surroundings while receiving the personalized care and attention they deserve.
With Wow Wow Whiskers, you can trust that your furry companions will receive the same level of care and affection that I provide for my own cats. I respect each cats unique approach to life and enjoy learning about each and every one.

Shelley was amazing with my kitty even though she’s very shy and has high level of stranger danger. Although my cat never came out when she came, she left her treats throughout the house for her to find later on. It was very thoughtful and made me feel at peace and happy.

Shelley is absolutely amazing!! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. My lil dude is a unique guy and doesn’t take to strangers, but he immediately warmed up to Shelley, this is huge!! This was my biggest fear when leaving for an extended trip, but I never had any concerns for Neo while he was under Shelley’s care :) The action shots were definitely a plus as well

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.

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.
Katy cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!

Shelley was excellent! She did exactly what you want in a cat sitter. Arrived timely, spent quality time with our cats, didn’t over- or under- feed them, provided pictures and detailed updates. Will definitely recommend and will use again. 5 stars.

Shelley went above and beyond taking care of my cats. she quickly learned their individual personalities and respected their different styles of receiving attention, which gained their trust and made them comfortable. when it came to cleaning cat sick, she blew my mind with how thorough she is. I definitely will be a repeat customer

Shelley did a pawesome job taking care of my babies while I was out of town for 2.5 weeks. She sent daily updates and pics, I did not have to worry for the time I was gone. One of my babies needs medicine on a daily basis and she was able to manage it without any issues. I would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thanks for being pawsome all around Shelley 😻

Shelley did such an amazing job with my two girls! Both cats have pretty different personalities and they both felt comfortable with Shelley. I got pictures and an update message every time Shelley visited. This was the first time I’d left them alone overnight/for a few days, and I was really nervous about it initially. Shelley made me feel so much better through her communication and evident love for cats :”) I will be booking with her again!!

Shelley was awesome. I have a skittish, rescue cat who is normally aloof, but Shelley won her over almost immediately. Seeing the pictures of them playing together so soon relieved a lot of my wordy about having to leave the kitty home. Shelley is a great sitter.
