I'm Lorena
Cat Sitting in Sacramento, CA
I bring a strong sense of responsibility and trustworthiness to every sitting assignment along with excellent communication skills... Hi there! I'm Lorena - a passionate cat lover with plenty of experience caring for furry friends. As a proud mom to two delightful, bonded 2 year old kitties named Isis and Osiris (Izzy & Ozzy for short), I understand just how precious cats are and how important it is to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable when their humans are away. I have been cat sitting for friends and neighbors since 2018 and look forward to providing quality care for kitties in my community! I am currently based in Petaluma, but also serve the greater North Marin areas. I am available for drop-in and overnight visits that best fit your needs.
I bring a strong sense of responsibility and trustworthiness to every sitting assignment along with excellent communication skills. I'll always make sure to keep you updated with how your cats are doing so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I'm not just a sitter - I'm a cat enthusiast who treats every cat I care for like my own, with plenty of love, attention, and respect for their individual personalities. As a fellow traveler, I know how much it means to have someone caring and reliable nearby to care for my fur babies and to maintain a presence in my home.
What sets me apart is my deep understanding of cats and their unique needs. I'm always happy to offer special care for any quirky habits or preferences your cat may have, whether that's specific playtime routines, feeding habits, or even just providing a cozy lap to curl up on. When I'm not cuddling with my own kitties, I love reading, dancing, traveling, exploring new restaurants, and spending quality time with friends and family.
I'd love the opportunity to meet your cat(s) and provide them with the care and affection they deserve while you're away!
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 did an amazing job with our kitties. She brought enrichment activities and they were so well behaved when we were gone. No messes to clean up when I got home and they were in a great mood when we returned.

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.

Lorena is wonderful! I am so happy to have found her! She was so incredibly friendly and easy to talk to. She has a calming presence and I could tell my cat was comfortable with her right away. Lorena talked about her own cats and was genuinely interested in my cat I could tell how much she truly loves what she does. She sent me adorable photos and updated me after every single visit. As soon as I got home I could tell how well my cat was taken care of. I will absolutely use her again!!

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
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.
Sacramento cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!

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!
