I'm Sara
Cat Sitting in San Antonio, TX
I currently have one cat of my own, Zelda. She is a tortoiseshell and has the famous tortie attitude-- she is definitely the boss of the house! She is the most talkative cat I've ever met, with such a fun, playful, affectionate personality. Whether she is playing fetch with her catnip mice, or waking me up in the middle of the night and yelling at me until I pet her, she is so funny and charming! I know firsthand how important our cats are to us, and how picky I am about who watches Zelda when I have to go out of town. Providing the best care for your cats is something that I take very seriously, because it hits close to home for me!
Aside from decades of cat ownership (or-- let's be honest-- being owned by cats), I have also volunteered with a local cat rescue. I did everything from cleaning litterboxes to feeding to snuggling lonely kitties who needed a little bit of socialization... I have had cats for almost my whole life, and I truly LOVE them! Every cat is so unique and special and deserves loving and personalized care. I would love to help provide that care for your kitty!

Aside from decades of cat ownership (or-- let's be honest-- being owned by cats), I have also volunteered with a local cat rescue. I did everything from cleaning litterboxes to feeding to snuggling lonely kitties who needed a little bit of socialization. I also gained valuable experience interacting with cats who were shy or nervous around new people.
I have experience administering oral, inhalation, and topical meds to a variety of cats, as well as giving insulin injections. I am very comfortable giving cats any needed meds (even if I get a scratch or ten in the process). I have experience bottle feeding young kittens, and I am happy to care for cats of any age.
During a typical visit, I will give your kitties food and water, clean their litterbox(es) and the area(s) around their food and water bowls, play with/snuggle them (only if they want me to!), and send you pics and videos of your fur babies so that you can check in on them! I can also, on request, bring in mail and packages, water plants, and feed and interact with other pets in the home. If there is anything else you need me to do, just ask, I am glad to help keep your home running smoothly while you are away!
Pet sitting is my full-time job, and I truly love it! In my free time, I love to read fiction and biographies, watch scary movies, try new restaurants, and play Animal Crossing (unsurprising, Raymond the cat is my favorite character). I am responsible, detail-oriented, and conscientious. I am fully vaxxed and boosted, and more than happy to wear a mask in your home.
Each booking includes a complimentary meet and greet, to get to know one another and make sure that we are a great match! I can do meet and greets in person or online.
I am available for cat sitting primarily in the midtown, downtown, Mahncke Park, Alamo Heights, and Southtown neighborhoods, but I am willing to travel to most parts of San Antonio-- just ask! I have a flexible schedule, so I am able to be there for your cats when and where they need me!
If you have any questions for me, please don't hesitate to ask!

Sara was wonderful- can tell she is a kindred cat lover! Easy to communicate with, took awesome photos of her visits with my boys, and gave me that peace of mind - knowing they were okay while I was out of town. She also offered to come over for a meet and greet - get the lay of the land. Very nice.

I have used Sara to watch after my two kitties a couple times now and she has been fantastic! One of my cats is diabetic and requires twice daily injections…he’s also a huge grump to strangers so he does not make it easy. Sara was able to get past his spicy side and give him the injections when a ton of past sitters have not been able. She sends great updates and photos that makes being away less stressful. Highly recommend Sara for your pet sitting needs! 😊

Sara did a great job taking care of my cat crew while my partner & I were out of town. I appreciated receiving photo updates on everyone and she was also willing to take care of our trash while we were away. Thank you!

Just a great sitter. She took the best pictures of the cats. She sent them everyday. She cared deeply for all of my cats even the feral cats outside, calling when she found a sick kitty.

This was our first time using a pet sitter and we scored big time finding Sara. She bonded so fast with our shy kitten and was very responsive. We got tons of photos every day. We knew Fennel was in safe and very capable hands. Our vacation was so much better knowing that our pet was not only well cared for but having a little vacation of her own. Would highly recommend and we will definitely be coming to Sara again.

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!

Sara is my go to pet sitter for my kitties! She has befriended my mean old man cat that requires insulin and my other cat loves when she comes to visit instead of running and hiding. I always have piece of mind that they’re in great hands when I go out of town. ☺️
Danielle

Sara sent pictures every day to share an update on what my kitty was up to while I was away. She sent daily updates on what she did with the cat. She was very kind. When she came over for the meet and greet with my cat he took right to her. She is clearly a cat person and knows how to engage with new cat friends.

Sara took wonderful care of my cats, two weekends in a row. Even my very standoff-ish female cat allowed Sara to pet by the end of the second weekend, which is notable considering how shy the cat can be! Plan to use again

Just what we needed! No more no less. We have outdoor kitties so Sara just came to fill up their bowls. She kept in touch with us to let know how it was going. She didn’t cost and arm and a leg like another service I have used in the past. Will use again for sure! Thanks Sara!

I can’t say enough great things about Sara. she has been taking care of my Shadow for the last year and a half, and sadly, we are moving out of state and Sara has decided not to move with us. 😉lol Sara is reliable, and truly cares about the kitties she’s visiting. she’s very communicative and willing to go above and beyond.
