Learn More About Laura

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy meeting pet parents and developing trusting relationships. My favorite part is working with the kitties. I love learning about their personalities so I can tailor the sitting to meet their needs. The best part is when I can gain their trust so they feel comfortable to interact when I visit.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one kitty named Oreo. He is a handsome tuxedo boy with the cutest mustache. He is very much my baby and might even be a little bit spoiled. He loves to rub on my leg when I'm preparing his food. His favorite things are treats, being brushed and sleeping all day.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I take it very slowly and allow the kitty to decide if they want to interact. Once I confirm they are safe and accounted for, I give them space and hope they will be curious enough to come out. If not, I talk softly to them reading their cues to see if they are receptive. If not, I back off and and let them be in their safe place. With some kitties it takes a lot of patience and baby steps until you can hopefully earn their trust.

Laura is a wonderful cat sitter! My shy cat did not hide from her because she slowly introduced herself to him and respected his space. By the end of the two weeks he was letting her pet him. My cat had some medical and behavioral issues during to sit. Laura was very patient and never complained or got upset even though she had to clean up many messes. She worked with me via messages to try to find solutions for my cat’s anxiety. She sent detailed reports and photos after every visit. She was very thorough about following the care instructions. In my opinion, she went above and beyond my expectations. I had peace of mind that my cat was getting the best care possible while I was out of the country.

Frequently Asked Questions

San Jose cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $37.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free 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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
