I hired Laurel again and she was wonderful, as always. She’s incredibly attentive and thoughtful with my two cats, and I really appreciate how detail oriented she is. She cleaned and reset the litter boxes exactly how I like them, which says a lot because I’m pretty particular about their setup. She also spent time playing with them and making sure they felt comfortable while I was away. What means the most to me is that my Bengals are usually very wary around people and can be quite picky, but they clearly remembered Laurel and were completely comfortable with her during my trip. That gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I came home to happy cats and a spotless home. I would absolutely recommend Laurel to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and genuinely attentive cat sitter.

Laurel was such a great caretaker for my cats. she gave Tofu his medicine with great skill and care. the cats were so happy and well fed and playful when I got back which shows she took great care of them. I know I can absolutely count on her to take great care of my kitties

Laurel was absolutely incredible. We were nervous about leaving our boy behind for our trip, but knowing she was caring for him made it so much easier. She sent video, pictures, and followed his routine perfectly. We will definitely book Lauren again!

I cannot recommend Laurel highly enough! From the very beginning, I knew she was going to be a great match. She took detailed notes about each of my cats—their unique behaviors, preferences, and feeding routines—which immediately put me at ease. While I was away, she was meticulous in every aspect of their care: preparing their food exactly the way they like it, keeping their litter boxes spotless, and even spending quality time playing with them. On top of that, she left my home absolutely pristine. I was able to truly relax on my trip knowing that my cats were not only well taken care of, but genuinely cared for. She’s a true professional and a gem to find!

Laurel provided outstanding care for the monster who shares my apartment whilst I was abroad (one word). She sent daily detailed reports, photos and videos, and even managed to gain Clawed's trust, an accomplishment that mostly eludes me. Highly recommended!

once again Laurel takes the best care of my son 🩷 even gave him his medication with no issues. thanks so much Laurel!!

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!

I’m so grateful that Laurel was our cat sitter. We were away during the Eaton fire and live somewhat close. The regular updates and consideration for the potential smoke and ash was so helpful for peace of mind. Brick and Shelby also loved spending time with her. Thank you!

We've had the pleasure of Laurel looking after our Sesame periodically over the last two years and feel so lucky to have found her!! She is extremely sweet and attentive to our very shy cat, who often runs and hides whenever anyone other than us (or Laurel!) come home. She is very detail-oriented and wonderful about providing images and updates of our lil guy which we appreciate so much. We can't imagine leaving him home with anyone else but her!! For anyone looking for a truly amazing sitter in the area we couldn't recommend anyone else more than her. :)

Another purrrrfect and seamless experience with Meowtel and the amazing Laurel. We had to leave our two senior kitties for about a month - and did not worry for a single moment about their wellbeing. They adore Laurel! (We do, too 😊) She not only provides love and care to these old gals, she always goes the extra mile. Last time, the heater went on the fritz in mid-winter. She noticed the problem and was instrumental in getting it taken care of. This time she suffered through and deftly dealt with a sudden and massive ant invasion!😳 I can’t say enough about how much we appreciate her - and Meowtel makes it all possible.

Laurel is the only catsitter we trust with our 3 precious boys! She sends the best updates and tends to their 3 different personalities very well. We are so thankful for you laurel! Happy holidays!

Laurel is truly the best! I feel at peace leaving my 3 cats in her care. She always goes above and beyond, from finding/feeding my shy guy in his weird hiding spots to fixing automatic feeder tech issues. Thanks again Laurel, we always love having you!

We are continually amazed by Laurel. Our Lyla looks forward to her visits when we are away and gets plenty of playtime. Lyla is usually shy with others, but not with Laurel. Laurel’s updates are detailed and complete with photos. We can actually relax while we are away knowing our fur baby is in great hands. Thanks Laurel.

Another fantastic experience with Laurel! As always, she is detailed oriented, takes care of any issue that arises (this time, only a fallen plant but, in the past, she has helped with such things as a furnace that started making crazy noises while we gone and a major ant invasion). Plus, she keeps two very different personality senior cats content. She's smart, personable, our kitties love her, and so do we! I can't recommend her enough. Truly a Cat Purrfessor

Laurel was a perfect cat sitter! I am a new cat owner and it was first time for me to ask somebody we didn’t know to look after my cat in my house. I was nervous before I contacted Laurel but she is very responsive and knowledgeable about cats so I was relived. Every time she came to my house for catsitting, she texted me with some photos to show me my cat and how she took care of things. I will definitely ask her again for my Chibi’s sitting in the future :)

We are so happy we found Laurel. We were nervous to leave our cat for the first time and she made it so easy. Fabulous with picture updates and made sure to play and cuddle our little girl.

This was our second booking with Laurel and everything went perfectly just like last time! Our shy kitty remembered her well and was happy to see her each day. Great photo and video updates. She even went above and beyond to troubleshoot our wonky Litter Robot.

Laurel is incredible! She set a very consistent routine for her visits, giving us updates each step of the way. We got great photos and videos and updates on how our cat was doing. I never worried about our cat at all while we were gone (which is saying something for me). We will for sure be using Laurel again in the future.

Laurel was great in taking care of our two cats during a month-long vacation. She sent us videos, pics, and updates every single day. We plan to have Laurel watch our cats in the future since they are so use to her now.

Laurel is always extremely attentive and detail oriented. We feel very reassured when she takes care of Zuri and she always goes above and beyond by doing things like coming up with creative ways to play with her or checking to make sure we arrived home safely. We highly recommend her!

Laurel is a fantastic sitter! She is extremely detailed in her first meeting visit, and checked for updates before starting the first visit. thank goodness! one of my cats needed a diet change and medication. Laurel handled both flawlessly, provided great, detailed updates with lots of photos and videos. she even went out of her way to get extra things for the kitties so they could be their happiest, healthiest selves. there is no one better than Laurel!

Laurel was fantastic! She took a lot of time during the initial visit to take copious notes about the care for our babies. We immediately felt like we were in good hands and that she was serious about providing quality care. We have a 9 year old female Ragdoll and another is a year old Maine Coon. She gave helpful tips for us to use generally for ongoing care and during her visits, she arrived on time, sent videos, and followed every instruction to the letter. I absolutely would recommend her for other cat parents out there and already booked her for sitting for another trip.

Our cat had great time with Laurel while we were gone. She sent us videos daily of greetings, feeding, play and everything related our cat’s care. She was really meticulous following instructions and doing everything right. Importantly, Our cat loved her and they bonded right away.

Laurel is a fantastic catsitter! She really understands cats and cat owners. We were hesitant to leave our darling cats, since we hadn’t done so for over a year, but Laurel’s nightly photo and video updates put us at ease. She made sure they were well fed and groomed and then spent time each night playing with and/or cuddling each of them. She also took great care of our plants and cleaned up a nasty ant invasion. Our return home was seamless. We recommend Laurel enthusiastically and without hesitation!

Laurel is an incredible cat caretaker! I’ve been fortunate to have many great cat caretakers through Meowtel, and she is perhaps the best thus far. I was impressed from the initial free “meet and greet” visit where Laurel brought her own detailed checklist she created and took notes of everything I said about the cats, where their food and litter is, their preferences, etc. She asked great questions and the cats liked her right away. She is super responsive, very professional, and friendly/great to interact with. She even went above and beyond with bringing extra supplies the cats needed that we didn’t have at home while we were out of town. All around had a fantastic experience and plan to hire Laurel for every trip away, going forward!

Laurel is outstanding! She’s watched our two cats a few times now and is our go-to sitter whenever we leave town. We always feel at ease when they’re in her care. Our older cat recently experienced some health issues and dietary changes, and Laurel stopped by to review the new routine and meds before we left, taking careful note of everything. All went perfectly smoothly, and both cats were so content and healthy when we returned. They both think Laurel is the cat’s meow, and we do too!

Laurel is the best! The only Meowtel badge I can’t give her is the one having to do with medication because our kitties don’t take any. She has taken care of our kitties on several occasions now. Her care and attention to detail is exceptional. The kitties love her - even our very shy one who hides for days when someone other than family walks in the door - comes out to greet Laurel the minute she walks in. Her most recent caretaking was at the very last minute — we had a death in the family and had to leave the country right away. She stepped up and took care of things even though there was no chance to ready things for her — well above and beyond anything even a Meowtel customer has come to expect.

Laurel did an incredible job looking after my two kitties! Her detailed notes and well-thought-out plan gave me confidence in her care. She followed instructions diligently and provided fantastic video updates. I feel safe with her taking care of my babies!!!

Laurel is amazing at what she does. She kept us constantly updated the entire weekend with photos and videos of our little ones that gave us relief, and she went above and beyond to replicate the way I take care of them, from the way I feed them and wipe them down as well as taking care of my plants while I'm gone. She is so communicative and easy to talk to and I am definitely inviting her back the next time I need a sitter!

Laurel is as amazing as always!! my cat had some changes to his routine and Laurel was so willing and happy to make sure my cat was well taken care of. the best ❤️

Once again, Laurel the Purrfessor has earned 10 stars, but is limited by the program to an award of five. Family circumstances required a nearly 3-week absence from home, which would have been stressful had it not been for Laurel's expert and watchful care over the kitties and our home in general. She even noticed a plant that had fallen off the terrace and plunked it into a new pot (and it's now thriving). Just one example of the initiative she demonstrates when visiting the kitties. And, the kitties were so calm and happy when I returned -- met me at the door, said hello, and then looked beyond me as if to say, "Okay, you are home, that's nice. Now where is our Laurel???" How great is that?

Laurel was fantastic! She did a very thorough walkthrough before watching our cats and clearly has a lot of experience. Laurel sent us pictures and videos every day and she got along very well with our two cats! She was also very responsive to messages. I highly recommend Laurel for your cat sitting needs!

Laurel was so kind and did an amazing job catsitting. I had never had a cat sitter before but she immediately made me feel safe and comfortable about how she would look after my cat. With the first meet and greet Laurel came prepared and asked excellent questions. During the sit she sent amazing updates and the best part my cat loved her too :)

We have been been booking with Laurel for over a year now and just went on a 2 week international trip. This was the longest we were away and Laruel was amazing with our two kitties! She always sends such amazing updates and playes well with them (even got our shy older one to play a bit which is a huge thing for us). Laurel is an outstanding sitter and we love having her watch our fur babies!

Second time booking with Laurel this time for longer and my cat had some separation anxiety. Laurel noticed immediately let me know and figured out the best way to make him comfortable and happy. So grateful for her hard work and kindness!

Laurel is the purrfect sitter for anxious cat parents and I will always request her first if we need someone. She is thorough, reliable, responsive, and detail-oriented. She always checks in to make sure things are the way it’s supposed to be, even things we forget to mention, and she always makes certain we return home to our cats on time in case she needs to provide backup. We and our cats love Laurel 😻

Laurel continues to meowmaze us. She's so good with our munchkins, stays in contact, and provides great daily updates. I really love that she confirms our return just in case we need back up. Having an amazing cat sitter is such a gift though being able to go away and relax and enjoy knowing your furballs are in good hands, PRICELESS!! Thanks again Laurel!!

Laurel was an amazing cat sitter for my older cat, Cleo. My cat started a special diet shortly before going out of town and Laurel gave such thourough updates throughout the weekend. It made me feel so comfortable knowing we had someone so caring watching over our cat while we were out of town.

Laurel is an absolutely wonderful, natural, and thoughtful caretaker who I would trust with any cat - and obviously especially my little one, Alex. As helicopter cat parent, I was able to totally relax knowing Laurel was making sure Ms. Alex the cat had everything she needed and then some. Treats, plays, the works! My cat now has another human to add to her list of trusted confidants (it's a short list) -- and that is worth so much!

Such a great trustworthy person. Laurel really put her full effort in taking care of our cat like it was her own. Multiple photos and videos a day and even vacuumed up litter! I will recommend Laurel to anyone I know looking for a cat sitter. I just felt so at ease while away it was very comforting, thanks again Laurel!!

Laurel has sat for our kitties a couple different times now. She is loving and diligent with everything about their care from cleanup to playtime to treats. She sends videos and photos which are really great for us when we miss our kitties. We have two cats with different personalities and needs, and she understands this. We are really grateful she has been such an attentive and thoughtful sitter and are glad we found someone so knowledgeable!

Laurel was great! This was my first time using Meowtel, or having a cat sitter who is a stranger at all, and Laurel made me feel assured that my kitty Nova was getting great care. She sent me lots of videos during her visits and was quick to respond and easy to communicate with. She asked detailed questions during the meet and greet and Nova was definitely a fan. Highly recommend Laurel as a cat sitter!

This was my first meowtel booking and my expectations were completely exceeded. Laurel is a true gem of a catsitter. I’m normally very antsy and anxious about leaving my boys while on a trip away, but her videos, pictures, and caring messages were great reassurance for me. Thank you for your great attention to detail and care for our cats! We can’t wait to have you again!

Another amazing experience with Laurel. She stepped up when a family emergency required me to leave town on less than a day’s notice - and ended up staying away for six weeks. I can’t say enough about how comforting it was that she was taking care of the home front! (And, kudos to Meowtel for having such a wonderful service!)

Laurel was so kind and attentive from the first visit to last. She is our first cat sitter. We were a little nervous at first but she was very professional and reassuring. Laurel was thorough and asked questions that gave me comfort knowing she’d be prepared for anything. She sent wonderfully detailed updates and was very patient and gentle with our three cats. We’re very happy with our first Meowtel experience. Laurel’s amazing. Definitely recommend!

Laurel was wonderful. She had great insights and suggestions in regards to my troublesome cat and was quick to win both my cats hearts and my overwhelming appreciation. Laurel followed directions, provided great feedback and updates and was great communicating any changes in the schedule. Laurel went above and beyond and allowed me to relax and enjoy a vacation as one should. Bonus: There's nothing returning to a clean home. I highly recommend Laurel and will surely use her meowervices again. Thanks Laurel!!

Laurel was fabulous! She took the time to learn about my kitties’ routine so everything was seamless while I was away, and sent detailed updates so I was always in the loop. Thank you, Laurel!!

Laurel was great with my cats! She kept us informed of our boys with many videos and pictures. She even went above and beyond & brought her supplies to groom my cats. I appreciate her and would highly recommend her services.

Laurel is such a great cat sitter! I love that I am able to 100% trust her when I’m away with my 2 boys. She’s so sweet and even got them a little Christmas gift that they LOVE! Her communication and attention to detail is also very much appreciated! Thank you Laurel!

Laurel is amazing! She's very attentive and does a great job communicating with you. She's even confirmed with me what time zone I'm in to be mindful of notifications when I'm away. HIGH recommendation.

Laurel was so great with my cats. She sent kept me updated every visit with pictures and video. I can tell my cats really liked her. Laurel was also full of great cat advice. I highly recommend Laurel for watching your cats.

Amazing! I felt so comfortable leaving my fur babies with Laurel! She was just the right fit and I love that she really cares about the animals and their routines. She went above and beyond with the kitty care, keeping me informed, and all the other little things. So happy I found her 😻

LAUREL IS THE BEST!!! i felt so at ease while I was away across the country for two weeks knowing Laurel was there with my girls. She was great with sending many updates and videos ensuring that I felt comfortable with the care my cats were receiving. I recommend her 100% and will be reaching out for future care.

The best possible experience, went above and beyond on everything. One of our cats is extremely shy, and she even got him to come out of his shell and play a bit. Could not recommend highly enough.

Laurel watched our cat Freya for two days while we were out of town. This was my first time having someone outside of my family watch her and I was so beyond impressed with Laurel! She was kind, friendly, played with Freya, and made sure she was safe! I will definitely be booking Laurel again!!!

Laurel did a wonderful job of caring for our kitties and communicating with us throughout. She sent us photos, kept us updated on how things were going, and all looked great once we were home. Laurel is amazing - we will definitely be asking her to sit for our kitties again!

As always, Laurel is truly the purrrrrfect professor! The kitties adore her, even the shy one who always hides when a non-resident human is at the door runs to greet Laurel when she arrives. Want to mention, too, that the last time she kitty sat, we were not able to leave a review. We were out of the country for an extended time and Laurel was unable to cover all the days. Another great Meowtel sitter, Ariel, filled in. Laurel took care of being sure keys were handed off and made herself available to answer any questions Ariel may have had. What a team! Truly appreciate this great service - it has made all the difference in our lives.

Laurel is the cat’s pajamas. Detail oriented playful and caring. We can really enjoy being away knowing puss is in great hands. Another happy repeat customer.

Laurel has sat for us six times now, and we couldn't be happier. She is simply wonderful with the kitties (and me!). She's always reliable, responsive, caring, careful, and always sends fun pics and updates on a regular basis.

I was so thrilled that Laurel was available again this past week. She is truly the best! As always, she was meticulous, caring, and incredibly friendly. My two cats were so well taken care of, and I was able to fully enjoy my vacation knowing they were in such good hands. I came home to happy cats and a spotless home, which says everything about the level of care she provides. I’m so grateful to have found her, and she will absolutely continue to be my go-to cat sitter. Highly, highly recommend!

Laurel was once again a perfect cat sitter to Mimikyu, they're now good friends. amazing updates, messages, videos, and images :) so grateful for Laurel and the care she puts into everything she does!

Laurel strikes again....Amazing as always....Professional, caring, experienced and knowledgeable. Laurel is dependable and keeps to a schedule so my kitties know when to expect her. She makes every effort to play with them and make sure my bratty child gets her Rx despite her often unpleasant disposition.

Laurel is absolutely fantastic. So organized and communicative. She truly cares about taking good care of our cats and it shows. Laurel is a top tier cat sitter and will make you and your kittens feel so safe.

Laurel was excellent at caring for our fur babies. I highly recommend working with her. She kept us up to date on everything and sent us videos and pictures of what everyone was up to. It felt like we were right there with them. We will definitely book her again.

Laurel went above and beyond caring for our puss. Super communicative and professional and loving. We will definitely be booking her again.

You will be lucky to book Laurel. she has great cat AND people energy! very detailed, my kitties just loved her. was very easy to travel knowing they were in great hands.

Laurel is an amazing sitter! She always goes above and beyond when watching our two cats and give such detailed updates when she drops in. Would highly recommend to anyone who needs a sitter in her area!

Laurel is absolutely fantastic. She goes above and beyond what most cat sitters do, and my cats completely loved spending time with her!

Laurel was incredibly prepared and fantastic with our cat. She went above and beyond in taking care of and playing with her and kept us updated throughout! We highly recommend Laurel!

Laurel is so good with our cat Didion. She is attentive and communicative. We never worry when she visits and know Didion is being taken care of.

Laurel is always the most attentive to our kitties. They love her visits and she keep everything really tidy.

Wonderful experience and kept me informed. I felt good leaving my kitties in her care plus my cats loved her

As always Laurel did and amazing job taking care of our kitties. We trust her and never worry when she's in charge. our cats love her.

as always Laurel is the best cat sitter ever and Mimikyu remains loving when she comes over 🩷

This is our first time booking a sitter and Laurel was excellent! She is very thorough and we felt at ease having her watch over our cat for the weekend. Will definitely look to her for future needs!

The Meowtel site is easy to navigate and making reservations is a snap. That's nice. But, what is amazing and wonderful is the level of care afforded our selected cat sitter, Cat Purrfessor. She showed up exactly when she promised, provided excellent loving care to our two older cats, and stayed in touch (including sending very fun videos and reporting on the all-important subject of litter box developments). What's more, the shy one who *never* comes out of hiding when a non-family person comes in, not only appeared, but was totally in love with the Purrfessor by the second day. I returned home after several days to find happy, relaxed kitties. The entire experience was so stress-free. Now, concerns about kitty care when I'm gone is no longer an issue.

Another purrfect performance by The Purrrfessor! Laurel continues to give exceptional care to our two middle-aged kitties. She’s the best!

Laurel is amazing. So thorough, genuinely loves animals, and is incredibly thoughtful and helpful with my CKD cat.

I use Laurel's services every single time I need someone to look after my cats. She is detailed and thorough and I cannot recommend her enough!

laurel is incredible. thoughtful, detailed, kind. our minds are 100% at ease when we know laurel is taking care of our guys.

Laurel is extremely reliable and always there for us for emergency support when we need it. It is a huge source of comfort to have her as our sitter!

Laurel was very attentive and gave thorough updates, which I really appreciated!

Laurel is the best, she pays such close attention to our cats needs and they love her visits!

Laurel is such an outstanding cat sitter. We trust her completely to take care of our kitties. Laurel truly cares for the wellbeing of them and is always sure to send photos and videos when we are away. We are so grateful to have found Laurel and we will be booking her everytime we need a longer term sitter. Laurel is responsive, kind, and caring. There is not a better cat sitter! Thank you Laurel.

My cats love Laurel! Shes a cat whisperer.

Laurel aways does a fantastic job with our cats and goes above and beyond to make sure they feel loved.

Laurel always takes great cat care of Clawedanimal. She is a wonderful cat sitter. Four paws up!

Once again the Purrfessor hit it way out of the ballpark! She does all she can to accommodate every request, my two kitties absolutely love her, and she takes care to attend to every detail. Even my run and hide kitty rushes to the door when Laurel arrives! I simply cannot recommend Laurel enough. (And check my previous reviews 😊!)

Laurel is the best cat sitter we know. she is very responsive and always provides detailed updates. Our kitties love her.

Always a great trip with Laurel! Our cats adore her and we can't wait to have her again soon :) Happy Holidays Laurel!

I can cut and paste all of my reviews of Laurel’s fantastic kitty and client care, and it would still not be enough my appreciation of her! At bottom, I never, ever, not for even an instant worry about our senior kitties or our home when Laurel is there.

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.

Laurel always keeps our kitties happy. We are so lucky to have her!
