I have a background working for an emergency vet and currently volunteer at a cat rescue lounge. I’ve been a life long cat lover and carer who lives, breathes and dreams all things cats. I’m happy to do overnights or drop in visits. No routine is too high maintenance for me - I love to spoil and pamper your cat as though they were my very own. I am very reliable, thorough, respectful and clean. You can count on me! I look forward to providing your cat with the care, comfort, love and affection that they deserve.

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.

Second time having Lori watch our cats and can confirm she is the best. Our cat broke climbed up onto our bookshelf and knocked over a pot with a plant in it. Lori cleaned the entire thing up, put the salvaged pieces in a bag for us to fix if we’d like, and sent pics to show where the plant fell, etc. She also brought in an expensive package for us that would’ve just been sitting out for days otherwise. She does such a thorough job on top of taking great care of our fur babies. Can’t recommend her enough.

We found the absolute perfect kitty caretaker for us & our furry monsters! Lori's communication was always filled with updates, pictures, and video. Additionally, she communicated quickly when there was an issue getting into our neighborhood on the 4th of July due to a concert event of which we were unaware. Lori basically had to wait around for an hour before they would let her onto the peninsula. She went above and beyond that evening for a holiday overnight. Most importantly, our kitties really liked her and were healthy and happy (but still annoyed with us for leaving them) when we returned. On our next trip we will be booking Lori. She gave us peace of mind and was the purrrfect cat sitter for our family. 10/10. No notes.

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 a joy to have taking care of our pets while we were away. She was communicative, friendly, and attentive as I walked thru all my instructions / notes. She never made me feel like I was “too much.” Throughout our trip she updated us during her scheduled visits with photos and notes on how each cat was doing. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Lori. You can tell she really cares about animals and it shows through her services. 10/10 will book with Lori again.

Lori was amazing! She was always on time and took wonderful care of our fur baby. From the very first visit, she made a genuine effort to understand Bella and her special needs. She even brought a notebook and took notes, which really impressed me. She sent daily updates with photos, so I always knew how Bella was doing and could truly relax while away. Bella is a senior cat with medical needs, and Lori handled everything professionally and with great care. When we returned home, she had even left us a sweet welcome card. It was clear to me that she truly loves animals. I highly recommend Lori, and I will absolutely trust her with our sweet girl again in the future!

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.

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.

Long Beach cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. 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!
