I'm Laura | Cat Sitting in Long Beach, CA
Hello, fellow cat lovers! My name is Laura and I look forward to providing your fur babies with top-notch care. Background and Experience My affection and appreciation for cats started when I was a kid. At 11, I finally succeeded in convincing my dander-allergic dad to let me take in a stray tuxedo cat. Of course, he was quickly charmed by her and braved itchy eyes and a stuffy nose to have Oreo perch on his shoulder. Cats have a reputation for being aloof but I think we all know how adorable and loving they can be. Since then, I haven’t been without a feline companion for more than a few months and I’ve learned to care for cats in all stages of their lives. I’ve even successfully trained a cat to use the toilet! I have experience administering medications in pill (ex. Famotidine) or liquid (ex. Clavamox) form as well as topical medications (ex. Mirataz or flea treatments). I’ve also had to administer asthma medication (Flovent, an inhalant) using a special device for cats called an AeroKat. Sadly, I’ve had two cats succumb to kidney disease so I’ve also learned how to administer subcutaneous fluids. I’ve researched and practiced ways to give cats medications while providing the least amount of stress possible. I am familiar with what is normal behavior and what isn’t. Beyond caring for my own cats, I’ve spent countless hours volunteering for trap-release-neuter programs to help protect community cats. I’ve bottle-fed and weaned kittens and have helped them get adopted. If you can’t tell, I genuinely just love cats, even that stray I ...

Frequently Asked Questions
The average price for a cat sitter is $38.00.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
