I'm Ralph | Cat Sitting in Plano, TX

My wife & I have had approximately 50 cats, most caught in our backyard or in bushes near office buildings and strip malls. We also volunteered at a Petsmart for 5 years caring for cats 2 nights per week on behalf of a local humane society. 2 of our current cat crew are dia...

Learn More About Ralph

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

9! Tater. Little Stinky. Gracie. Fradycat. Peppa. Jellybean. Snotty. Emma. Mama. We had 15 others at the beginning of 2024 when 2 of the ferals we caught both had litters but fortunately we found homes for all of them!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Absolutely. We rarely travel anywhere since our kids and grandkids are local. I’d love to help you enjoy some time away knowing your cat(s) are being cared for.

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

All cats are different but none like loud noises or surprises! Try to become part of their surroundings; sit near, but don’t move or speak initially. And all cats are curious, so allow the cat to check you out. Try a gentle scratch under the chin or just above the tail. A favorite treat or toy can be introduced to help build a trusting relationship.

Ralph was amazing! He came over before the actual reservation to meet and greet the cats and get to know him, he asked all sorts of questions including who my vet was. We got plenty of pictures and videos of our cats loving on him. Highly recommend!

Ralph is an animal lover who devotes his time and money to rescuing and finding homes for cats. He and his wife have rescued hundreds of cats and they care for them like children. He is someone I would trust in my home with my animals.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Plano cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. 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.
