I'm Deidra | Cat Sitting in San Antonio, TX

I currently own two indoor cats, and they are my babies. It’s hard to find someone to watch them that I trust. I rescued Hank & June from Helotes Humane Society almost 2 years ago. They are siblings. I was raised with cats, my entire life. But as a child, my parents always kept our cats outdoors in California because it wasn’t as hot there. In 2007 I adopted my first two cats from the animal shelter in Orange, California. Those cats moved with me to Texas and were indoor only from the very first day they came home. Bella and Rascal were my first experience at having indoor cats, and I have not looked back since. Hank & June sleep with us every night. I trim their nails and keep up with their vet appointments. We play fe...

Learn More About Deidra

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love all the different types of cats and seeing all the different personalities! Some are shy, others are playful. Some just want to cuddle on the couch. I just meet them wherever they are.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two indoor cats - Hank and June. I also take care of an outside feral cat we’ve named Blue.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I like to set up a meet and greet the week before my pet parents leave. So I can see what needs to be done, where everything is, and meet the kitties. I ask questions and take notes. I also answer any questions the pet parent has.

Deidra was amazing. From the minute we met her at the meet and greet, all the way through our reservation. She was great with our kitties, and even got our extremely shy, skittish kitten out playing and taking treats. He even seems less skittish with us now. Deidra went way above and beyond, even taking care of some household tasks that were neither required of or asked of her, but were needed and very much appreciated. Thank you Deidra, we really appreciate everything you did!! We will definitely use Meowtel again, and specifically Deidra if she is available!

If you are at all hesitant about using Meowtel, Deidra will put your mind at rest. She is outstanding, from our meet and greet before our booking, throughout and after. I thought no one could take care of my pampered boys as well as I could but I was wrong, Deidra will love on and care for your pets like they are her own. My two aren’t the easiest, one is shy and often makes a mess outside his box, the other takes medication, Deidra handled it all like a champ. Super respectful of our home, making sure alarms were always set, messes were cleaned, and daily photos and updates, Deidra really goes above and beyond, she’s like a Mary Poppins for your kitties, I hope she’ll be our cat sitter furrever!! I really can’t say enough good things, so I’ll leave it to the boys “We love you Auntie Deidra”

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

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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.
