Hi, fellow cat parents! My name is Rachel, and I want to be your family’s new Meowy Poppins! I have grown up with cats my entire life and I’m currently the mom of my own handsome boy, Howie!

So, whether your cat is friendly, feisty, or shy, I’m here to love them with the patience and understanding they deserve!
I am also well-accustomed to giving both oral and topical medications to both younger and older cats. I’m happy to learn your kitty’s schedule to make sure they get the best care possible!
Thank you so much for considering me to take care of your fur baby. I can’t wait to meet you both!
Learn More About Rachel
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Taking care of your fur babies is genuinely the highlight of every day for me! I have such a special bonds with cats, so I love getting to know each of their unique personalities. The pets and snuggles are definitely a plus too!
Are you usually available during holidays?
I am frequently available during the holidays and excited to spend time with your cats! I am also available for extended visits, if you plan on traveling for longer periods of time as well.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Just like getting to know people, trust is everything when it comes to cats! I make sure to build a relationship with them by letting your cats know I am a safe friend. First, I will let your cat approach me when they are ready. Next, I will let them do a sniff test and reward them with a treat as a thank you. Finally, I will make sure to get to know their boundaries, so I can respect their space as a guest in it!

Rachel was amazing! She came to do a meet and greet prior to our trip so I could give her the run down in person, and introduce her to my kiddo. Amelia does not like new people, but after the initial intro, she hung at the doorway for a bit to watch us before heading to her nap spot. Once we were out of town, Rachel sent daily updates (w/pics & vids) to keep me in the loop, and my shy girl completely adored Rachel by the end of our trip. It was so great to know Amelia was very well looked after, and it makes my heart happy to have someone I can trust to look after her the next time we head out for vacation. Thank you SO much, Rachel!

Rachel was an amazing cat sitter. This was my first Meowtel sitting. I am thrilled to have gotten Rachel. She was so great with my 3 kitties. I have 2 social ones and one shy one,who she lured out finally after a few tries. I felt very confident in leaving them for over a week with her. She kept me updated daily with notes and pictures. I was able to relax knowing everthing was great at home. I highly recommend Rachel,for your kitties . You will love her! I will rebook 100%

Rachel helped us so much! She was able to give eye drops to one of our girls (who can be quite difficult) and managed to make friends with our painfully shy tortie who doesn’t like strangers. Not only that, we had a family emergency and had to change the plan a bit last minute, and Rachel was extremely accommodating. We will absolutely use her again!

Rachel is amazing! our kittens loved her so much, Jiji isn’t one to quickly warm up to people but Jiji let her give belly rubs which is high praise. For the day that we were gone Rachel sent us so many pictures and videos of our cats playing and really made us feel like we were leaving them in great hands. 10/10 will be booking again!

Rachel was so great with our baby kitties! She sent daily check-ins and even cleaned up the mess of the knocked over plants that our littlest kitty made every day. The best thing was that our introverted orange man came out, and he normally doesn’t do that. Thanks again, Rachel!

We need more stars to really, truly convey how absolutely amazing Rachel was! On our initial walkthrough, it was immediately clear that she was the right fit as both cats went right to her like an old friend. She took such good care of our girls, sent fantastic pictures & communication, and even had our standoffish gal curl up in her lap for some loves - a treat typically reserved for me alone. We're so thankful to have found Rachel, knowing that when we're away, our little family is well cared for!!!

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 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!

Rachel made me feel so at ease with my baby Milo! he is very sassy but she was still able to break through to him. rest assured that your kitty is in good hands with Rachel… and will send plenty of pics and videos 🥰

Rachel is such joy! We felt comfortable having her look after our four kittens every day. It was our first time being away from them, but she put us at ease immediately and stayed true to her word to send lots of pictures and videos! Rachel is a super friendly and bubbly person, and she is very passionate about cats. She was extremely affectionate and playful with ours, and they took a liking to her immediately. She followed all our instructions and made sure our babies were well taken care of with food, water, clean litter and cuddles. You won’t be disappointed at all when you book Rachel, she has your (and your cat’s) very best interests at heart! We look forward to having her back later this month!!

Rachel did a phenomenal job taking care of our two cats daily for two weeks! She went above and beyond and even offered to water our plants while we were away without being asked (and there are a lot of them)! I hope that next time we go away Rachel will be available to take care of them again!

Rachel seemed very comfortable with my 8 cats from the get go and my cats were immediately drawn to her (one of my cats jumped into her arms during the initial walkthrough!). She went above and beyond in showing up during the unexpected ice storm, still making it to our house despite the roads being an ice rink. We’ll absolutely book with her again and hope she’ll be our go-to sitter!

Rachel was an amazing sitter while we were away from home. Our two cats loved getting to spend time with her and she took care of all of the needs they had when she came by. After that she would spend time playing with them. She did a wonderful job and our cats loved having her around!

Rachel is someone who treats every animal like her own. When she cat sits for me it's like she's known my pets all her life. She doesn't just feed them and leave, she actually takes the time to give them attention and play with them so they don't feel alone when we aren't home. I know I can rely on her if there is an emergency and I trust that she will treat my cats with the love they deserve.
