Shanno's Loving Cat Sits In Wylie

Cat Sitting in Wylie, TX

I've owned cats my whole life. I currently own 11 cats!

My husband, daughter, our 3 cats, and I moved into our house in downtown Wylie in 2017 which had cats that came with it. One of the outside cats ended up having kittens, and we decided to keep all of them! After getting mama fixed, we brought her inside too. We helped foster a litter of kittens, which ended up with a foster fail of two! Unfortunately, we lost one of our cats in May 2023. Then, we added 2 strays in December 2024. Unfortunately, again, we lost my very best friend/soul cat Clorox in February 2025. After a few months we decided to adopt a kitten who fit right in and felt like a missing piece...
I've owned cats my whole life. I currently own 11 cats!

My husband, daughter, our 3 cats, and I moved into our house in downtown Wylie in 2017 which had cats that came with it. One of the outside cats ended up having kittens, and we decided to keep all of them! After getting mama fixed, we brought her inside too. We helped foster a litter of kittens, which ended up with a foster fail of two! Unfortunately, we lost one of our cats in May 2023. Then, we added 2 strays in December 2024. Unfortunately, again, we lost my very best friend/soul cat Clorox in February 2025. After a few months we decided to adopt a kitten who fit right in and felt like a missing piece. That's how we got to 11! We love our furry family!

My daytime job is inside sales working from home. Mornings, evenings and weekends work best for me to cat sit, but some days I could visit during the day depending on location.

Speaking of location, I'd like to stay within 30 minutes of downtown Wylie, but don't hesitate to reach out if you're further and in need! I'll see what I can do.

You can expect the basic care, plus some from me. I will feed wet and/or dry food, refresh water, clean litter boxes, sweep up around litter boxes, clean up any discovered hairballs, play with them, brush them, give treats, and give so much love. Expect several photos of your babies at each visit, because I love capturing their sweet faces and silly moments for you. I can even check your mail, bring packages in, water plants, or any other miscellaneous tasks you need to feel comfortable being away from your home.

I'm excited to meet you and my new furry friend!

Learn More About Shannon

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

I have been officially cat-sitting since 2021, but I have owned cats my entire life. I have sat for many cats, some continue to be regulars! I have, and continue to learn, about each cat personality and how to work around differences if they are a little spicy. I always treat your babies just as I would my own.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Making a new friend! Also, being able to be that comfort for your babies while you aren't home is something I really enjoy being able to provide.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I'll be honest...they all are my favorite, but I think my very first Meowtel reservation will always hold a special spot in my heart. It was with a little old man who was very vocal and demanding. He would tell me to come feed him immediately, then after he was done eating, he would lead me to the living room where we would cuddle as long as he wanted (I have a strict rule of not being the first to get up) and then he was done and would go do something else. It was like that at every visit. He unfortunately passed, but he left his mark on my heart.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 9 cats! In order of age and when we got them: TeddiBear(Baby Bear) BB8(Boy) L3(Cheese) Lando(Yando) Leia(Big Girl) Mama Enzo(Pie) Katherine(Baby Kat) Bagheera(Biggie Bag) Bella We also had Mookey who passed in May 2023. Then in February 2025, we lost my very best friend Clorox(Bunny).

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Don't be afraid to ask a cat sitter to do the things exactly as you do them. I've had clients try to "simplify" certain tasks to make it easier for the sitter, but your kitty deserves the same routines they are used to! I promise we don't mind doing things a special way if it means your cat feels comfortable.

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

Always have a meet and greet (unless it's an emergency and you can't) to ensure the cat parent feels comfortable and trusts me. Typically, after walking in to your house, once you show me your cat(s), I'm on the floor trying to connect and let them smell me. I like to set my purse on the ground and take my shoes off so they have something to smell without getting near me if they aren't ready. I will follow you around as you show me the "ropes" while I take notes on my phone. I will ask questions, and sometimes they might sound weird (ex: do you use dish soap or a specific sponge to wash their dishes?) But it's simply because everyone is different. I want to do things as YOU would do them. It's your home and your fur baby. I'm here to be the next best you.

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

I will always carefully enter and exit to ensure no cats slip through the cracks. I also "keep an eye" on the house while you're out. What I mean by that is I look through all the rooms to make sure all is right (I've had some frozen pipes and power outages during my visits in the past) and nothing is "off", while also making sure the floors are cleaned up from any kitty messes. I like to keep a light on around their food, water, and litter boxes for the nighttime, and if I'm visiting twice a day, I'll turn those lights off in the morning. I always double check that doors are locked when I leave. I like to look around outside as I leave just in case anything there seems "off" as well.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am usually available during holidays, but I'll keep my calendar updated to say if I'm not. If it shows I'm not available, you can always message me and let me know your situation to see if it's something I can work around.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The laser pointer is always a classic and can get even the oldest baby's ears perked up. A good feather stick toy is always fun to see them jump so high!

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

I will just sit near them and talk to them. Try to put my hand out for them to smell me. I bring a laser light with me, so sometimes just getting them distracted helps them feel a little at ease. Also, treats...a cat usually loves treats.

Shannon is the best cat sitter. I can always count on her to take the best care of my cats while I am gone. She is great with communication and keeping us updated on everything going on with our cats after her daily visits. We were gone during an ice/snow storm and she treated my cats like her own making sure they still got taken care of even though it was difficult to get to our house during bad weather. It was greatly appreciated and makes it much easy to take trips now that I know I have her to care for our cats.

Shannon went above and beyond for our girls. She made sure they were played with, fed well, and their litter boxes were clean. Our most skittish cat warmed up to her and loved her visits. Shannon took pictures and sent us great status text on every visit.

Shannon is amazing with our babies! We left town, forgetting about picking up meds for one of our kitties. She went by and picked it up, no problem! We think our boy cat has a crush on her, too!🤭 She will always be our go-to!❤️

Shannon was absolutely phenomenal looking after our kitties during our 2 week international trip. She went above and beyond at every visit and I couldn’t be happier! She communicated often, sent multiple pictures and a thorough status update with each visit, and I can tell she truly cares for and enjoys spending time with our cats. She was even able to win over our shyest cat that hides from everyone! My anxiety over leaving the cats for so long was gone knowing they were in the absolute best hands. I will definitely be booking with her again for our next trip!

Shannon was a life saver for us this time. Lliterally. our flight was delayed and o reached out to see if she could make an extra visit to give our boy his meds. She didn’t hesitate and she put us at ease knowing he would be taken care of. Shannon even stayed a little longer during a storm to ensure the kitties felt safe. Shannon goes above and beyond every single time, without fail. She is a godsend!

I'm so happy I found Shannon to watch our baby girl, Kasumi. She was excellent with communication, times, and keeping Kasumi well loved and entertained. Kasumi loves to play and Shannon sent lots of videos with pictures of her being a silly happy girl. And that was much appreciated as we missed our cats little face and seeing her happy made us happy while we were away. Will absolutely be using Shannon from now on. 110% recommend booking her for your cat(s). They will be in the best hands and we'll taken care of.

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.

Wylie cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!
