Kara was wonderful! I didn't have to worry about my girls at all while on vacation. She sent pictures and video daily and was able to give my elderly cat her medications. I will absolutely use her services again if needed!

This was my first time using Meowtel and I couldn't be happier with Kara! She gave me regular updates and even sent me pictures of him. If I ever need a sitter again, I will be requesting Kara - she sets the bar high!

This our second time with Kara taking care of our kitty while we were out of town and I would highly recommend her! She is reliable, responsive, and is very attentive to our girl. She keeps the bowl area spotless and even takes the time to brush her. We even had an issues with our door lock this time around and she was patient and flexible while we sorted everything out.

Kara is fantastic!!! This was the second time she has taken care of Henry while I was traveling. she goes above and beyond. She sends pictures, videos and a note to let me know how Henry is doing. He likes playing and getting belly rubs when she’s there so I know he feels comfortable and is glad she’s there to visit! I highly recommend Kara!

Kara is a great find! My shy kitties warmed up to her quickly and were well taken care of. She sent photos and texts with updates each day, and even helped water my garden while we were away. Will definitely be using her again!

All three of my kitties are very shy and reclusive. I knew from the moment that Kara walked in that she would be great. She took the time to sit down on the floor and was patient to get their approving sniffs! One of my cats had recently had surgery and needed to be kept separate and given meds twice daily. Kara did an exceptional job of providing me detailed updates, pictures, and took excellent care of our pets and our plants. We will definitely book with her again.

Man oh man did Kara make our first trip perfect! Spent a week out of the country and we were so stressed until we met Kara! Sonny loved her! Daily updates were awesome and beyond the minimum for sure. I think the cat just booked another trip so she can hang out with Kara again! Thank you so much and can’t wait to book again!

Kara came to the rescue when we had just moved to the Austin area and had to travel out of town for a funeral. Her updates were great and she even was able to extend her visits when our flight got delayed.

our regular cat sitter wasn’t available for our trip, so I found Meowtel and booked with Kara. I’m never going back! Kara sent updates at every visit, gave our diabetic cat his shots, and got pictures every time. She was amazing and I felt so at ease while we were gone. 😻😻

I am so impressed with Kara. My cat can be somewhat difficult. Kara handled everything perfectly, she sent great photos/ updates and overall made my travels so much easier. She is professional and very reliable. Well worth it! I came home to a happy and frisky cat. I can tell he liked Kara.

Kara took such good care of our kitty! It was our first time leaving her so we were very nervous about it. The updates we got from Kara made it so much easier for us, and our girl really seemed to enjoy Kara’s visits. I would highly recommend Kara and we will likely be trying to book her again in the future!

Kara is the best! I knew the whole time I was away that my cats were in the best hands possible. She was especially attentive to my 18-year-old Nermal, who can be very testy but was on her best behavior with Kara. I highly recommend Kara's services!

Kara was fantastic! She responded to my request very quickly and was willing to take a last minute booking. My four cats are very different and can be picky; two of them are elderly and require meds/special food. Kara did a great job accommodating all of them and making sure they all got attention and love! She did a great job cleaning the litter and puke, too! Loved her detailed notes and photos. Will book again!

Frequently Asked Questions
San Marcos cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $24.00. 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.
