Learn More About Lea

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I had a childhood cat named Romeo since I was 12! He was a long haired, flat face Persian so I completely understand maintenance. He has sadly passed away when I was 23, but he was one spoiled boy! I have a 2 year old boy now named Rauru, he is a domestic medium hair cat. He is super energetic and loves other cats!

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

I am very big on directions so I ensure I ask all kinds of questions to cat parents. Do they have a set amount they eat? Do I need to make sure they are not going into a certain area? Is there comands that said cat responds to or I must follow each time I feed/play? I want to make sure parents feel safe and comfortable to allow me the pleasure to care for their baby

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

When I first adopted Rauru, he was very scared and shy. He was found in an antique shop at 3 months! I usually have the all time favorite churu and I allow said kitty to come to me. I show interest while holding a hand out to possibly sniff, but I ensure I don’t push the boundary. Sometimes just spending quality time with them helps them to realize I am there to be a friend.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hawthorne cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $34.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
