Meow there!
I’m Cecilia and I’d love to meet you and you kitty companions! I have 2 very spoiled cats of my own and I’ve fostered kittens long term until they found their perfect home❤️. I understand every cat has a different personality and will do my best to accommodate and earn the trust of your furry friend 🐾 .
During my visits, I replenish food/water bowls, clean litter boxes and of course spend quality time with your cats. I carry my "cat bag" to every visit, it's filled with catnip, treats and toys to entertain your kitties.
I am comfortable taking your cat to the vet if I see anything out of the ordinary and administering any medications that are needed.
Can’t wait to meet you! Please message with any questions you might have.

Learn More About Cecilia

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

I’ve been with Meowtel since 2018! I use to work in the healthcare industry full time and loved spending time with kitties in my free time so I joined Meowtel. Eventually in 2020 I went full time with this and it’s been amazing. I enjoy what I do and it’s really rewarding gaining a kitty’s trust and being able to let their owners know they can enjoy their time away without having to worry.

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

Meet and greets are extra helpful to know whether or not a sitter is compatible with you AND your cat/s. It’s totally fine to shop around until you find someone you’re comfortable with because you are trusting us with your home and a part of your family. Let us know exactly what you need from us to feel comfortable just like you’ll let us know what your kitty needs and we’ll do what we can to make sure this is a stress-free experience for everyone :)

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

I like to announce my arrival and sit down to greet them at the door, sometimes more anxious kitties might not be brave enough for that first step and that’s okay! If they’re hiding I try and get a visual and then I go about my duties, sometimes they’ll get curious enough to make an appearance so I’ll try and bring out their favorite toy or treat. I have had a few cats that just never got comfortable enough and I usually suggest shorter visits to not stress them out too much. I have two anxious kitties myself and I know sometimes it takes a little extra work and patience.

Cecilia has helped me breathe a lot easier now that she is helping me take care of my cats while I’m at work on long days. She cares for their peace and wellbeing as well as my peace of mind by sending me updates of them playing, eating and giving them pets. I think my cats would go on the app and schedule her for more time if they could haha Thank you Cecilia!

Cecilia was extremely professional and went above and beyond what was asked of her. I felt very comfortable leaving my cat with her while I was gone thanks to the amazing picture and video updates. She took care of any little thing that she noticed could help out my cat. I would give her 6 stars if I could!

As always, she is absolutely amazing! She brings out the playful side of our very shy cat, spending time playing and cuddling with her—not to mention all the spoiling she gets. It truly feels like our cat is on her own vacation while we’re away.

Cecilia was amazing with my two cats while I was traveling! She went above and beyond to care for my two cats. Not only did she feed and play with them, but she also took the time to clean up after them and make sure everything was in perfect order. I really appreciated how attentive she was, she kept me updated after every visit with pictures and detailed notes, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I can’t recommend Cecilia enough to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful cat sitter!

I’ve reviewed before but now that we’ve had the pleasure of Cecilia’s services several times I want to add that she’s the most amazing cat photographer. We all wait for those photos to arrive! She has also done an amazing job of getting my more skittish cats to trust her over time. She goes above and beyond every time.

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.

Richardson 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!
