I'm Ripley
Cat Sitting in Pflugerville, TX
I like to play with cats in timed sessions so I don’t over stimulate them. I always let the kitty take the lead and pay attention to their body language in order not to upset them. Every cat has their own unique personality, and I cater to that
Learn More About Ripley
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve been pet sitting in general for several years, but have had my own cats, dogs, fish and more since I was a child. I genuinely love animals so it’s more fun than anything!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two kitties- Chipmunk and Sweetroll who I both adopted through a local shelter. They’re very energetic and playful girls who have been in my life for several years now.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Since many cats can be shy or anxious, I try to meet them on their level. I physically get down on the floor with them so that I’m less intimidating and then let them smell me. I might pry them with treats or play, but overall I let them warm up to me at their own pace

Ripley has been truly amazing with my timid little girl. Within just a few days, my kitty came out from hiding, greeted Ripley, wanted to play, ate her medicated meals well, and responded to Ripley's patience and skills. Ripley is a great asset to Meowtel.

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.
Pflugerville 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 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!
