Learn More About Lori

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

I’ve been a cat parent my whole life - that’s 50 years! I’ve been pet sitting for over 30 years! I love it!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to spend time with YOUR cat. I love meeting all the cats and getting to know them. They are all just angels with fur and I treasure them ALL!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat sitting experience is one where I’m able to fully connect with the cat and give them hands on TLC. I love the stand off-ish, shy and spicy cats, too, it’s just from a safe distance so their purrsonal space is respected.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two tuxedo babies. Sadie, a 6-year-old female who is the queen of the castle & Marty, a 3-year-old male who is Sadie's court jester. Both rescues and the lights of my life.

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

Trust your gut and gravitate toward the energy you think fits you and your babies the best! Always know that the Meowtel sitters are the biggest cat lovers and have been carefully vetted to ensure you can be confident knowing your cats are in the best hands.

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

Schedule a meet and greet. Meet the parents and meet the cats, discuss each cat's personality and any special needs or quirks/routines/behaviors. Find out how the cats like to be pet and played with. Review the home and make sure all keys work and any additional safety concerns. Ask about any other things to pay attention to - mail, plants, amazon packages out front, etc. Ensure parents that they will receive lots of communication during each stay!

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

I always make sure that the house is secure upon entry and leaving. I make notice of anything that could seem out of sorts. I also scan the home for any possible hazards that could be out and communicate any concerns to the client.

Are you usually available during holidays?

YES! I am often available for holidays. You can count on me! Feel confident knowing your child is in great hands, allowing you to enjoy your time away.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love any wand toy, tunnels and crunchy sounding crinkle toys. Whatever YOUR cat's favorite toy will be MY favorite toy to use in play.

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

I never force affection and I will get low to the floor and gently call their name and allow them to approach me if they are feeling curious.

Lori was a great help! I had hired a different cat sitter on this app named Evie/Emily to cat sit for 10 days over my Christmas break (a lot I know)! And on Christmas Eve at 11 at night Emily informed me that she was dropping me as a client because one of my cats had diarrhea and she didn’t like cleaning out the litter box with the smell. I was able to find Lori to take over and check in with her and another cat sitter about the smell and status of the house. Both her and the other cat sitter said the smell wasn’t too bad and was manageable. Lori showed up every morning to take care of the cats and clean up the litter box! I also really appreciated her sending the amount of time each visit was so I knew for the future how long everything was taking and to reimburse for any extra time. She was also a great help with recommendations for how to use the pine litter I was trying out, and she also recommended some litter of her own. Lori was able to follow the instructions I had typed out on a sheet of paper very well, whereas I had issues with the other cat sitter, Evie/Emily, feeding the wrong food to my cats sometimes and also throwing out food that the other sitter had left for the cats that day. Evie couldn’t figure out how the properly scoop the pine litter and refused to use the handheld vacuum I had because it “wasn’t a proper vacuum,” whereas Lori did a great job with the litter and even said the held held vacuum I had was great for cleaning up around the litter box. (I had specifically purchased the handheld vacuum due to other cat owners highly recommending it for cleaning hair and litter). Overall Lori was a great upgrade from the other sitter! I would highly recommend going with her if you are trying to choose between two sitters on this app!

Lori was amazing! We were nervous about leaving our cats alone with just a neighbor to check in on them, so having someone experienced with cats like Lori gave us so much peace of mind. She was incredibly communicative, sent lots of pictures with her updates, and even managed to coax our shyer cat out. When we go out of town next, she will absolutely be the person we'll be booking again.

Lori was absolutely wonderful. She was a prompt communciator and sent plentiful pictures of our cats from each of her visits. She also dedicated time for play and interaction with them. We would definitely have her sit for us again and would recommend her to anyone else. Thanks Lori!

Frequently Asked Questions

Long Beach 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 $33.00. 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.
