Alex's Kitty Sitting

I'm Alexander

Cat Sitting in Kyle, TX

Areas served: Kyle, Buda, San Marcos, New Braunfels, Austin & anything in between!

I've held a lifelong passion for cats, having seldom spent time in my life without owning at least one, and I've been actively involved in cat and kitten fostering for 4 years. I have volunteered and fostered for organizations such as Austin Pets Alive!, PAWS, and San Marcos Regional Animal Shelter, and I founded a 501(c)(3) home-based neonatal rescue for Hays County.

I have 5 wonderful rescue cats of my own, along with a few fosters that started off as bottle babies. One of my long-stay fosters has cerebellar hypoplasia, which makes him unsteady on his feet, but he is a happy and loving little guy! One of my own boys has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and receives a pill every night, and another receives daily nose drops for his allergies. Your furry babies will be in attentive, gentle hands...

One of my own boys has hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and receives a pill every night, and another receives daily nose drops for his allergies. Your furry babies will be in attentive, gentle hands. I have hand-raised orphaned kittens, which involves bottle and/or syringe feeding as frequently as every 2 hours, and provided care and medical transport to nursing mother cats and their kittens. I can also administer medication orally, topically or injected; I have cared for cats and kittens requiring a great deal of medical care and tenderly nursed them back to health.

I have a calm and patient demeanor when working with animals, and I can ensure your kitties are treated with kindness and understanding. Cats are especially prone to being nervous around new people, so this is something I can work with. If you have friendly kitties, they will receive lots of petting, attention, and play; shy ones will be handled carefully, and with all the space they need. Every cat has a personality as unique as their DNA, and I always look forward to meeting new ones.

Generally, my preferred availability is between 10am and 9pm for drop-in visits.

COVID Protocol - I am fully vaccinated and can accommodate any preferences for your safety and comfort, such as: wearing a mask, sanitizing surfaces after use, social distancing, etc. We can discuss your needs at the time of booking.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I always make sure to be on the same page with clients when it comes to home accessibility, any security systems, and how to retrieve/return the physical key (if necessary). The door is always locked behind me once I've entered the home, and I do not answer the door unless it is someone the client has informed me ahead of time. When leaving the home, I do a brief head count and make sure all doors are locked with a test to make sure they are properly locked, including doors locked with a code system. I also make sure to arm any security systems if necessary. As it is against TOS to allow cats outdoors, I don't go outside during visits unless for practical reasons such as taking out trash or watering plants, and I do so with strict attention paid to make sure there are no escape artists!

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am generally available during all major holidays and breaks. Because of the higher demand during the holiday season, it is best practice to book reservations at least a couple weeks out to allow for time to hold meet and greets in addition to the actual booking availability.

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

For cats that are hiding or otherwise display signs of nervousness such as hunching up, ears back or wide eyes, I will approach as low as I can to the floor with my hand held out. I also make sure to give them some "slow blinks" if we make eye contact, as a focused stare can make them feel more nervous. If they return the blink, that is a sign they are getting comfortable lowering their guard! I also pay special attention to how they react to my hand, and if they display any warning signs I give them space. Treats are also a great way to create a positive association, either by gently nudging some dry treats their way or holding out an open Churu. (Churu and other squeeze treats have been GREAT for winning over shy cats!) Ultimately I always make sure to respect a cat's boundaries.

Alexander was attentive and helpful from start to finish. She communicated throughout each visit and sent photos of cleaned litter, water bowls, etc. Most of all she sent pics of my baby and updates on how he was doing. This meant the most to me and gave me peace of mind while away. Highly recommend for any cat parent looking for a reliable sitter who cares about your fur baby!

This was my first time booking Alexander and I couldn't be happier with her performance. My cat has a mild form of GI Disease and thus has a complex diet needing various additions to his food. Alexander was extremely thorough and attentive, used pill-masking paste, and always made sure Floyd ate all of his food. A few occasions when Floyd had an accident outside of the box Alexander reached out and asked what could be done to clean it up. I would not hesitate to hire her again (and definitely will)!

Alex watched our three cats for a couple weeks while we were away. He made us feel comfortable every day with detailed updates and photos. One of our cats is a skittish hider who requires medication and Alex found her sweet spot and it was clear Alex brought her out of her shell and made her feel cozy to be around a new person. Alex takes pride and care in this job and we are so grateful. Thank you Alex - we will 100% be booking you again to look after our babies!

Alexander was wonderful taking care of my cats for an extended period! one of them can be very spicy and defensive but even she warmed up to Alexander by the end. both cats were both very jumpy after a severe storm that hit right after I left but despite that I felt confident thanks to Alexander’s care and updates that they were doing well.

Alexander was amazing with my two cats. They went above and beyond to coax my shy senior kitty to take his medication and kept my kitten happy and entertained with daily play sessions. Alexander’s attention to detail, communication, and response time all made me and my husband completely at ease that our cats were in great hands while we were gone. Would enthusiastically recommend!

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.

Kyle cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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!
