I'm Lauren | Cat Sitting in San Jose, CA
Hi there, thank you so much for considering me as your sitter! 🐱 I’ve owned and loved cats my entire life, and currently have four amazing rescue kitties named Felix + Milo (tabby brothers), and Arlo + Alice (fluffy orange boy and his lynx point sister). I am comfortable with animals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities and love getting to know each and every one of them! 🌻 A little (more) about me: I work full-time as an engineer at NASA but absolutely love spending my free time with animals. I’m very fortunate to be in a position where I can pursue both of these interests! I also enjoy hiking/backpacking, baking, gardening, reading, and skiing in the winter. 💙 I recognize that each cat has unique needs and preferences and I aim to tailor my care to suit your cat’s individual personality. Whether you have a high energy kitty who can play for hours, a couch potato who just loves snuggles and back scratches, or anything in between, I'm happy to adjust our activities to keep them happy. My goal is to foster a relationship built on trust and love, providing your cats with the same affection and care that I give my own kitties. 💊 I am comfortable administering eye drops, inhalers, and topical/oral medications and am more than happy to care for kitties with special needs. Please let me know what I can do to keep them saf...

Lauren is a fabulous care taker! I feel so lucky to have found her. Our 3 kitties were so well taken care of as well as our home. She made our trip away so much better. Our girls look forward to seeing her again. ❤️ Thank you so much, Lauren!

Lauren was a fantastic caregiver for my two cats! I needed a sitter for the weekend and she was able to accomodate me immediately after booking. She is calm, detail-oriented, and incredibly friendly. I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a cat sitter who cares about your fur babies!

Lessa
Lauren was a fantastic Cat sitter for our two shy cats. We hired her over the holidays while we had some oversee travels and Being so far away, we were nervous about finding reliable cats care. Lauren used all our worries and took amazing care of her two cats. Over the day, she managed to break down the shy exterior and even got them to greet her at the door and purr! Lauren was also kind enough to administer medication for one of our cats, which was a huge help because it was unexpected necessity. you’re grateful to find Lauren and would hire her again to care for our cats.

I got to work with Lauren after my other cat sitters were unavailable, and I’m so glad I found her. she did so good with my kitty! Great updates, cute photos, and excellent care. She was also very flexible with a couple of unexpected issues delayed our meet and greet. I can’t wait to choose Lauren again, and I would definitely recommend Lauren to any kitty owner.

Frequently Asked Questions
San Jose cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $39.00. 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.
