Cat Sitting in San Antonio, TX

šŸ‘‹šŸ¼ My name is Melina, and I’m so glad you found my page! I understand the importance in finding someone you can trust to care for your furry friends while you’re away, and I’m here to ensure your cat feels loved, comfortable, and safe in your absence. šŸ«¶šŸ¼šŸ©·

I’m located in Northwest San Antonio, near Culebra/1604 and Alamo Ranch, so feel free to contact me if you’re in the area and need a reliable and compassionate cat sitter! **Please note that Thursday-Monday, I’m not available for visits before 3 PM.**

I’m a proud cat owner of three adorable, unique cats: a Snowshoe Siamese, a Calico, and a Birman.
Mocha, my Snowshoe Siamese, has been with me for about 10 years. She was found near my mom’s workplace and we took her in, offering her a forever home full of love and affection.

Carmela, my sweet Calico, is 5 years old and was found under a coworker’s car hood when she was just a 3-week-old kitten. I bottle-fed her and raised her to be a strong and healthy cat, and now she’s a playful and energetic part of our family...

Marshmallow, my Birman, is 3 years old and is the fluffiest, most playful cat I know. I love seeing his goofy side and watching him grow into a confident and happy cat.

Cats have been a huge part of my life, and I’ve always been drawn to their quirky personalities, independence, and affectionate nature. I completely understand how stressful it can be to leave your beloved cat behind, whether it’s for a short trip or a longer stay. That’s why I promise to provide the same level of care and attention I give to my own pets! šŸ˜½šŸ’– Your cat will be treated with the utmost care, love, and respect, and I’ll do everything I can to ensure their comfort and happiness while you're away.

I studied forensic science with a minor in biology and earned my bachelor’s last May. While my work keep me busy, my love for animals and my cats never takes a backseat. I find joy in the simple things, whether it’s curling up with my cats for a movie night or giving them extra cuddles. I know how much our pets mean to us, and that’s why I’m committed to providing the best possible care for your furry friend, whether it's a quick check-in, feeding, playtime, or administering any special care they might need.

I believe in open communication and am always happy to discuss any specific needs your cat might have, whether it’s their favorite toys, food preferences, or any quirks that make them unique. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or concerns about my availability. I’m more than happy to work with you to accommodate your schedule. Each reservation includes a complimentary meet-and-greet so we can ensure I’m the right fit for your pet.

I’m truly excited to meet you and your furry companions, and I can’t wait to give them all the care and attention they deserve while you’re away! 😸

Learn More About Melina

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love being around cats, and meeting new cats with all different personalities. Whether they are energetic, loud, quiet, calm- I don’t mind at all, I enjoy being around cats and appreciating their unique behaviors. I enjoy playing with cats and spending time with them. Some people think cats are low maintence, but truthfully, all cats deserve someone who is willing to play with them, care for them, and love them unconditionally. 🩷

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

To ensure safety and security, I make sure that your cat remains indoors-as per Meowtel policy. When entering the house, I make sure to stand close to the door to avoid cats running out. When leaving the house, I double check my surroundings to ensure no cats escaped. While cat sitting, I will be sure that all doors remained locked for safety.

Are you usually available during holidays?

As long as you give me enough notice, I can easily accomodate. I typically stay in town during holidays, as all my family is here.

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

I make sure to respect their boundaries. I will let cats sniff my hand and get familiar with my scent before I even try to get close. If they aren’t too comfortable yet, I wait until they choose to be close to me rather than forcing it.

Melina always kept us updated with photos and we appreciated her daily communication. Our cat immediately liked Melina from day one when she introduced herself for the meet and greet. Our cat was well taken care of and I will ask Melina again to take of our cat for our next vacation. I don’t have to stress anymore leaving my cat with someone while I am on vacation. Thank you Melina!!

Melina was great! I have a challenge with my situation because my 2 cats don't get along and have to be separated. She handled it brilliantly. She even got my cat that normally hides to come out and visit. She is very nice and responsible. Highly recommend!

Melina is a superstar cat sitter! She was very thorough, nurturing and responsive to our needs and went above and beyond to take care of our boys. Both of our cats connected very well with her and we look forward to having her take care of them again!

Melina is the best. She charmed my shy kitty and was able to take care of some household details to keep my kitties warm during a hard freeze.

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.

San Antonio cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
