Kitty Friend Care

I'm Brandon

Cat Sitting in Mckinney, TX

Cats are some of the best cuddlers I know, and some of the friends I know. Cats are sentient beings and pick and choose the people they want to be around. I aim in my cat sitting service to be around your kitties however long specified. Whether we are discussing a few drop ins or an overnight stay, I aim to provide care that makes the kitties (and their owners) choose to hire me again.

Most people would describe me as being gentle and extremely loving. I have a lot of affection I can give to anyone. I am very relaxed whenever in your home, which will help your kitties be relaxed too. It is critically important your cats feel relaxed while you are away—in a way, why shouldn’t they have a vacation themselves?

When I am over at your home, I am unwinding down for the day. I’ll be sitting on your couch usually watching Netflix or on my iPad...

I am very relaxed whenever in your home, which will help your kitties be relaxed too. It is critically important your cats feel relaxed while you are away—in a way, why shouldn’t they have a vacation themselves?

When I am over at your home, I am unwinding down for the day. I’ll be sitting on your couch usually watching Netflix or on my iPad. I may fix dinner or something to eat for an overnight stay, shower even—you know, live in your home—. I’ll be available and ready to play and cuddle with your cats if they come up to me and want affection. I may offer your cat Reiki (energy work) if they would like to help them unwind and relax after a long day.

At the moment, I am recovering from surgery and not able to lift above 10-20 lbs. As a precaution, I am asking all owners to change out the cat litter to fresh so that I don’t have to lift the litter box while I am here. We can also work out alternative arrangements too.

I am currently Ubering people because of my surgery and can’t go back to my more physically demanding job (grocery delivery). Because of Uber I am able to service the entire DFW Metroplex including Sherman, Denison, Pottsboro, etc. If you are really far out, I would strongly encourage one visit a day versus two so that time can be spent most effectively with your kitties.

I am able to rapidly adjust my schedule to your cat’s needs, so I am easily available to come by and check on them during the day. If I am staying overnight, I aim to be in your home by 10pm at the latest so that I can spend time with your cats and be to bed at a reasonable hour.

Learn More About Brandon

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

I have been pet sitting for nine years. Out of the years I really only started gaining experience cat sitting in the last two years.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

Two of the best settings I ever had were in Wiley and in Forney. I absolutely love it when cats just wanna lay on top of me and her and me in front of my face. Odie in particular loves to groom me and he will just sit there for hours lick at my head .

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Get to know your sitter. They are in your home popping in, or staying over, and you want to be comfortable with them. Especially for repeats. Sometimes the human owner is actually more anxious than your cat will be during a stay, so it’s so important that you find the right person. Also, be flexible.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I like to do a meet and greet with all new clients so that they have a chance to get to know me, I get to know them and their cats. I then use the time to go over the cats’ routines and care. Meet and greets are usually 30 minutes to a hour, some have listed 15 minutes!

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

For outdoor and indoor kitties, I do not let them go outside for the course of the sitting. I will also let an owner know if I have not seen the cat for more than two days. I encourage every owner that does a cat sitting with me to invest in a camera if the kitty is really shy and skittish.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I work all holidays. I am also available most weekends. The only time I am not available overnight is if I have an existing obligation.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The laser pointer is a MUST when cat sitting! It is so fun to see them come run up to the dot and then rapidly change it on them. Also mice toys too.

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

Cats always need their space! Especially their hiding spaces. On the longer visits I will stay in the home and just play games on my phone or tablet and eventually your kitty will want to come out and see me. I get all excited just seeing your cats! I reflect a positive energy and inviting one to make them want to come back for more. Eventually they will want to follow me around the house or at least meow when they need affection or something from me. I may also offer catnip or treats to your cat if they consistently hide to help them get comfortable with me and tell them I am caring for them.

At the very least Brandon made sure that my cats had food and water and checked on them everyday. Before I left I had filled the litter boxes with fresh litter , and left detailed post it notes on cabinet doors directing him to where food, litter, and cleaning supplies were kept(as per his request). However, the very next day he took it upon himself to put more litter in my litter robot which caused it to over torque fault due to the excessive weight. We had issues with it the rest of our trip. He also emptied the litter in the litter robot but did not change the bag out. I'm fact, when I arrived back home it appeared that he hadn't changed out the litter bags (except once)on either of my automatic litter boxes the entire week and a half I was gone as there was no evidence of used litter bags in my trash bin. I know he changed one because he left it sitting next to my front door in my hallway (despite the fact that I had showed him where to take the trash out in the garage). I also came home to a used litter scoop sitting on my floor, and caked on litter and cat poop next to my litter robot. I had to scrub it to get it to come up. The water bowl in the master bath was dirty so I'm not sure if this was ever refilled. Despite the post it notes with detailed info, the car food was not put back in it's proper place (nor was the litter scoop or the litter trash). I did not have a problem with Brandon until I came home to the mess that I did. Brandon had my cell number and could have called with any questions or concerns that he had, so for me to come home to what I did was completely unacceptable.

Another great cat sitting session for Odie! We left for seven days to Florida and Brandon was amazing! He is very communicative and shares lots of photos and videos of our fuzzy kitty while we were away. Brandon’s also let us k is when he had issues with out front door and worked with us on managing that. Will definitely use Brandon in the future!

Another great time for our cat Odie as my husband and I went out of town for a short time. Odie loves Brandon spending time with him, and Odie really trusts Brandon. I highly recommend anyone who needs a cat sitter to give Brandon a shot. His level of communication is unparalleled and greatly appreciated.

Another great time of our fuzzy Odie with Brandon! He always goes the extra mile with him as he has learned that Odie is super social. He makes sure to play with him a bunch and give him all the love he can. We even had a flight delay and Brandon was able to stop by and check on Odie for us.

Brandon is an amazing pet sitter! I so appreciated his level of communication when it came to taking care of Odie. Especially when we had an issue with our feeder and Brandon worked with me to see if the issue could be fixed. Odie loved him and played with Brandon a ton. If you want a great communicator and a person that really loves cats, Brandon is your petsitter!

Mckinney 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 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!
