The Best Care For Your Fur Babies

I'm Sarah

Cat Sitting in San Antonio, TX

I am an organized, responsible cat lover with time to take care of your dearest fur babies. Your kitties will be in GREAT hands!

**I’m available during holidays (no extra charge)
**Cat sitter in Northwest San Antonio

I love cats because they're the kind of animals you can form an incredibly strong bond with. They can be very affectionate, funny, and emotionally supportive all at once. I've had cats since I was 3 years old, and I currently have one black kitty, who got me through the COVID-19 lockdown and some pretty rough spots in life. My cat's name is Duke, but my husband nicknamed him Bigotes (which is Whiskers in Spanish). My kitty is incredibly important to me, as both a pet and a companion. Although I also love dogs, cats are my favorite pets because you have to build trust and understanding before you can build a friendship with them...

I love cats because they're the kind of animals you can form an incredibly strong bond with. They can be very affectionate, funny, and emotionally supportive all at once. I've had cats since I was 3 years old, and I currently have one black kitty, who got me through the COVID-19 lockdown and some pretty rough spots in life. My cat's name is Duke, but my husband nicknamed him Bigotes (which is Whiskers in Spanish). My kitty is incredibly important to me, as both a pet and a companion. Although I also love dogs, cats are my favorite pets because you have to build trust and understanding before you can build a friendship with them. Truly the best feeling comes from adopting a cat!

When I’m not cat-sitting, I'm working my 8-5 remotely as an accountant. My educational background includes a bachelor’s in Medical Humanities and a master’s in Business. I was born in Iowa and raised in Northwest San Antonio. In my spare time, I love to paint with acrylics, cook, spend time with my husband, and cuddle with my beloved kitty :)

I’ve volunteered at the San Antonio Humane Society and taken care of family friends’ cats before. I give preventative flea medicine to my own cat, so I feel comfortable administering medication to client kitties if needed. I’m fully vaccinated for COVID-19 and open to wearing a mask in your home if you prefer. Between visiting different kitties, you can be sure that I will wash my hands and maintain good hygiene in your home. I'm great with following directions, so your precious fur babies will be taken care of to the very best of my ability.

Cat sitting began as a simple side job, but I've really enjoyed it so far. The clients have been wonderful, and playing with their kitties is even better.

Please message me if you have any questions!

Learn More About Sarah

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

I started cat sitting for my friends in 2020, and I've been on Meowtel since 2022. I love my clients and their kitties! I've never had an issue during my visits. When I'm not cleaning the litter box or giving them food, it's time to pet and play!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

After all of the normal tasks are done, my favorite thing to do is pet the kitties and give them some love! Most of my clients' cats are friendly and want to be pet while their cat parents are away. Truly the best thing for me is feeling their soft fur and hearing them pur!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a black cat, named Duke. He's 4 years old, and he keeps me on my toes! 😊 What I love most about him is that he's very playful and affectionate.

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

One of the most important things is keeping the cats away from the door when I go into the home. I try to make some noise when I open the door and check that a kitty isn't trying to get out. For the security of the home, I always double-check that the door is properly locked when I leave.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I'm usually available during holidays!

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy is a plastic spring. One of my clients had springs around the house for one of their cats (who was very active and playful), so it prompted me to get springs for my cat. It's so simple, doesn't require batteries, and it's so funny to watch kitties play with them! Just be prepared to find them under the couch!

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

For cats that are timid or anxious, I prefer to leave them be and try not to overstep their boundaries. Because I'm a stranger to them, it would be best to reach out my hand (from a distance) and let them come to me - NOT attempt to chase them down. It's normal for some cats to be shy around their cat sitter! Every cat has a different personality, and it's important to respect that.

She did a very good job comforting and caring for Beanie. She even swept up the scattered litter so all was neat when I came home.

Sarah managed to charm even our shyest kitty, kept our home spotless despite having multiple cats (and them being naughty and somehow getting into the bathroom and terrorizing our towels which Sarah fixed for us!), obviously kept them happy with food and water (I swear they all gained weight…lol), kept me up to date with notes and photos, put some food back in the freezer when we forgot it (not part of her job) and just overall was fantastic! She communicated well and reached out with questions/observations we might want to note (sneezing cat). She will be our go to person for as long as she’s willing to sit for us. She is wonderful!

Sarah did an amazing job with our cat! she was responsive and came over beforehand to meet him and get acclimated with his needs. Our cat loved her and she made sure to play with him every single day, and she even went above and beyond and swept around his litter box while we were gone! We will recommend Sarah to everyone and will definitely be booking her in the future!

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!
