I'm Laurel | Cat Sitting in Pasadena, CA
“The smallest feline is a masterpiece.” Leonardo da Vinci's observation could not have been more accurate. I love all animals, but I especially have enjoyed living with and caring for cats all my life. I appreciate every cat for his or her own unique purrsonality and like to get acquainted with them on their terms. Everything I do as a cat sitter is rooted in building mutual trust through love, compassion, respect, honesty, and lots of patience. I have been cat sitting professionally since 2019, but prior to that, I cared for two beloved cats of my own for over 15 years! While I frequently get repeat customers, I welcome new kitty clients too. I have enjoyed establishing strong, positive relationships with the kitties I care for so that they feel comfortable and secure with me when their families are away. I'm a former college professor with a Ph.D. in Psychology (Animal Behavior, Conditioning, and Learning). I often apply training techniques when I work with kitties to make brushing and other treatments as stress-free and enjoyable as possible.

I will do my best to provide your kitty with the same kindness and quality care that I would want my own cat to receive. I can never replace your presence, but I will try to replicate your daily routine as closely as possible because most k...

Laurel's Reviews
Janice
Another purrfect performance by The Purrrfessor! Laurel continues to give exceptional care to our two middle-aged kitties. She’s the best!
Myles
Laurel is an outstanding kitty sitter! My cats adore her, and my husband and I do too. I highly recommend her, as she provides exceptional care for your cats and sends lots of cute video updates. I always feel at ease when she watches my boys.
Trevor
Laurel is an absolutely awesome cat sitter - she went above and beyond with our very shy senior cat - Laurel even got her to sit with her in the living room for a while (when normally our cat will hide in a closet/under a bed with any new people). She sent super detailed updates and took wonderful care of our cat, we’d love to hire her again!

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
