Learn More About Lorena

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Any time I spend with cats is time we'll spent! I find cats absolutely fascinating and love getting the opportunity to know their unique personalities. I enjoy snuggling with them as well as engaging them in play. It's so rewarding to see them happy, healthy, and enjoying themselves!

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

Be sure to not only communicate logistics to your sitter, but also be descriptive about your cat's personality and preferences so that they can have the best experience while you're away. Make toys available for playtime, as it's a great way for the sitter to bond with your cat.

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

I schedule a meet and greet with the cat parent at their convenience to make sure they feel comfortable having me visit their home, and it gives us an opportunity to discuss expectations, schedules, and other logistics, like receiving a key. I also get to meet the cat(s) and see them engage in their normal environment.

Lorena's gentle, inviting demeanor is a good fit with kitties Even our most shy, formerly feral kitty who normally hides whenever anyone comes over decided to make an appearance to greet Lorena. We came home to a clean house with content and relaxed kitties. We hope Lorena is available the next time that we need to leave town.

I've hired Lorena for pet sitting since 2020 and it's been a wonderful experience to be able to travel - even on short notice at times, and know that I have a totally reliable pet & home sitter. She is communicative, extremely professional, and my pets love her!

Frequently Asked Questions

Oakland cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $36.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

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.
