Austin Cat Sitting Reviews

Real feedback from Austin clients who trust our sitters to care for their cats at home.

"Our boy had a lot of medical conditions, and our sitter handled all of his medications and special needs beautifully. She provides the best care! We can’t thank her enough for the loving and exceptional care she gave our boy. It’s always hard to leave him, but it’s especially hard now that he’s and has a few more things going on. Knowing she was looking in on him allowed us to actually enjoy our time."

"This was our first time using a pet sitter. I was nervous at first but from now on this is who is taking care of our very senior cat! We needed a week of twice daily visits and with each visit we received photos and a check list and a message of how that visit went. I highly recommend this service."
Curtis T.

"We love to travel, but we are always worried about leaving our cats. Ever since we found The Comforted Kitty, we no longer worry. Our sitter always sends us updates and pictures after each visit, giving us peace of mind. I highly recommend using The Comforted Kitty if you need someone to care for your cats while away."

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions about cat sitting in Austin.

Our sitters serve most neighborhoods throughout Austin. Coverage can vary by sitter, so if you’re unsure whether your address is included, submit a request and we’ll confirm availability before booking.

Yes. Many of our sitters have experience with senior cats, special routines, and vet-prescribed medications (such as pills and liquids). Your sitter will review all care details in advance to ensure your cat’s needs are handled correctly.

All sitters are hand-selected, background-checked, insured, and bonded. The Comforted Kitty also stands behind every booking with a satisfaction guarantee, so you’re not relying on an unverified individual.

Your sitter follows the emergency plan you instruct in your Time to Pet portal and reviewed at the Meet & Greet, including contacting you and your designated emergency contacts. If needed, they’ll seek veterinary care using your preferred vet or the nearest appropriate clinic.

We recommend booking as soon as you know your dates—especially for holidays or longer trips. Last-minute requests are sometimes possible, but availability varies by sitter and time of year.
