Cat Sitting in Round Rock, TX
😸My priority is your cat’s health and comfort.
😸I have a soft spot for shy cats and seniors, but love cats and kittens of all ages and personalities... Hello! If you’re anything like me, you might be nervous about leaving your cats with someone new, wondering if they’ll warm up to the new person or get the medications and supplements they need. With multiple senior cats of my own and a long list of their demands, I understand every cat has different needs. I would be honored to fit into their routine as best I can and give your cat-children cuddles, play time or distance (whatever they prefer!) in your absence.
😸My priority is your cat’s health and comfort.
😸I have a soft spot for shy cats and seniors, but love cats and kittens of all ages and personalities.
😸I’m highly involved with a cat sanctuary here and have over 6 yrs of experience volunteering in shelters and rescues.
😸I have experience giving all types of medications (pills, liquid syringe, topicals, eye/ear drops, injections and sub-q fluids). I’d like to gain more experience with the needles (injections & sub-q) before offering those services to you, but feel confident in the rest.
😸I have a unique schedule as a self-employed music teacher, so I can do my best to tend to your normal schedule.
😸When I’m not working or volunteering, I’m probably studying up on cats (podcasts, articles, trainings) or doing yoga.
Let me know if I can meet your kitties and be their drop-in mom.

Are you usually available during holidays?
I’m available pretty much every holiday except the Christmas season and would love to keep your kitties company while you are able to get away.
What is your favorite cat toy?
I have senior cats so their favorite “toys” are their heating pads! I find most cats can’t resist a fishing-pole style interactive toy though, and love that it can fly like a bird or scurry like a mouse, depending on the cat’s hunting style. We’ve also been known to keep cardboard boxes lying around for the cats to “hide” in, lounge in, or scratch.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
With timid cats, I might keep my distance but be within eyesight and smelling range. Depending on the body language, I might offer a treat or draw a string across their view to see if that piques their interest for play. If none of that works and the opportunity is there, I would allow them to see me interact positively with another cat in the household. Some cats just need a little time though to warm up to strangers. No offense taken!

She was amazing start to finish, we had a last second family emergency and had never left our boys with anyone else before they didn’t already previously know, so to say we were nervous about getting a sitter was an understatement. After our meet and greet we were immediately put at ease. Her questions and care during the visit was all we needed to leave for the emergency with a sense of calm. Then, after just a couple of days of updates, she absolutely made a very stressful time for us that much easier to handle with daily picture updates and seeing our boys take to her so well. She was even able to schedule some unforseen emergency time on top of the original request. If you’re a first timer or someone who’s had issues leaving your kitties with a sitter, give her a call, she’ll make all the difference. 😌

Aurora is an excellent cat sitter! During our meet and greet, she made sure to take detailed notes and asked questions to ensure she had all the info on my babies. During visits, Aurora sends great pictures, videos and text updates with all the details of her visit. She is also very attentitive! She brought yummy treats for my shy boy and she even notices tiny changes in him which is critical with him being on palliative care. Aurora offered to water my plants and has even made an extra trip to bring in a package that was delivered while I was away. Im very grateful to have found Aurora and will be booking her again next time!

I’ve had the pleasure of booking Aurora twice now, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is truly wonderful—loving, attentive, and so caring with my two cats. One of my cats requires medication every 12 hours, so timeliness is incredibly important, and Aurora has always been prompt and reliable. It gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands when I’m away. I’ll definitely continue to book her in the future!

Round Rock 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 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!
