Cat Sitting in Plano, TX

I grew up in a two-cat household and later became a lucky recipient of the universal cat distribution system – i.e., a sweet stray street cat found and adopted me. I promptly spent too much money on cat enrichment paraphernalia – water fountains, a cat tree, tunnels, balls, wands, toys that look like mice and fish and birds, a wall-mountable hair brush, catnip, scratching posts, some battery-powered moving-butterfly contraption, the whole nine yards.

Though I no longer have any kitties of my own (at least not on this side of the rainbow bridge), I still get a big fat goofy grin any time I happen across a cat. I even went to a cat café for my 25th birthday; so I've paid my own money to spend time with kitties! All that suffices to say: I delight in being around cats — the old and young, the zoomiest and loafiest, the shy and aloof, and the spicy...

Before Meowtel, I catsat for various friends and family for a variety of ages of cat – even tiny kitties wearing socks as repurposed sweaters. I also used to watch Jackson Galaxy (of the "My Cat From Hell" show) on TV, so I have him to thank/blame for my cat behavioral knowledge. (I may never stop slow-blinking at cats.) I’ll dutifully handle all the relevant tasks, with special care in following any accompanying instructions (feedings, socialization, playtime, litterbox cleaning, scritches, brushing). Meowtel has given me all the more experience with the gamut of cats -- cats with litter aggression, that get overstimulated, cats with inhalers and prescribed oral meds, etc. I have found that I have a particular flair for befriending skittish, stranger-wary cats, which is always a gratifying experience.

I just relocated here to my home state after finishing my master's program in Washington state, so I'm now building a new client base here from scratch. I know that trusting your cats and your home with someone can be daunting, but hopefully it will be a little less daunting knowing that you’re leaving them with a conscientious, responsible person who promises to always treat your home and pets with the care and respect that they deserve.

Sara was terrific with our two socially shy indoor kitties while we were gone on a 4-night trip. She is calm and gentle and definitely won over our female cat who loved her daily pets and scritches. Our male cat was too shy for pets which we had anticipated. Sara also took care of our 2 outdoor feral cats who rely on us for food and water. She paid really close attention to all of my instructions (and even remembered to unlock the back gate on the day the mowers were coming) and gave us thorough updates every day along with pictures. Sara was very reliable, caring and communicative and we didn’t worry about our cats while we were gone. Thank you Sara!

This is the first time I booked a pet sitter for my cat, and therefore new to the entire process. Sara was proactive and friendly in communicating, and I felt very reassured that my cat would be in the very best hands (literally). Sara followed all the instructions perfectly and was very respectful and sweet with my cat. My cat is very timid and shy, but had no problem befriending Sara within minutes. It’s obvious Sara has the unique gift of being able to connect with the wonderful yet complicated little creatures that cats are 😊. Its a no brainer - your cat couldn’t be in better hands with Sara.

I could not have asked for a more caring and thorough caregiver for my 2 kitties. Sara kept me updated with everything she did for my cats to include their interaction with her. She included pictures each day which was also nice to see as they both seemed very relaxed and in their “normal” favorite places not hiding under the couch which they usually do when a “stranger” is in the house. Sara was able to gain their trust very quickly. I believe they looked forward to seeing her come with one even meeting her at the front door. This was a great experience.

Sara is the best cat sitter! She socialized my shy rescue kitty and gave her lots of care and attention. I can home to a very happy cat. I think she might even miss her sitter! Sara was responsive, great at keeping me updated on my kitty’s welfare, and flexible with my unexpected changes to my schedule. ! would definitely hire her again.

Sara is amazing! We booked her for overnight boarding service for about 2 weeks. She was thorough in her text updates, followed instructions perfectly, and most importantly of all, she played well with our kitties!! We have two cats, one of whom was a little shy and hard to engage in play. Sara took note of this and made sure to give her separate play time and made an effort of engaging her. We are beyond grateful for Sara. We will surely book again if we need cat sitting services in the future.

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.

Plano 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 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!
