Learn More About Lyndsey

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I most enjoy being able to meet all different types of purr-sonalities. No two cats are the same and I love getting to know each one.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, I currently have 2 cats - Fred & Ethel. They have moved with us from Missouri to Florida, from Florida to California, and back to Florida. They are very experienced in cross-country road trips!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

When looking for the right cat sitter, find one you feel comfortable with and who you feel has a special bond with cats. If something feels off, they probably aren’t the one. Cats are special creatures, and not everyone is a “cat person”.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I always recommend a meet and greet to get to know them and their furbabies. I prioritize each of their needs and expectations, and my goal is to make the process as smooth and stress-free as possible. Communication is key. I want them to know they can contact me at any time while they are away. I make sure to send detailed updates with plenty of pictures and videos so they never feel too far away from their kitties!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I ensure all cats are accounted for when I arrive and before I leave, double checking doors and windows are locked or left as requested by the client, and looking out for any safety issues or behavior changes in the cat while I’m there doing the visit. I always send an update to the client at the end of each visit, letting them know I’ve locked the door and have the keys in hand.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am available most holidays and weekends. My family doesn’t travel much, so my schedule is open. I don’t like to be away from my fur babies for very long!

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

I always allow the cat to approach me on their own terms. I’m in their environment and having an unfamiliar person around can be extra stressful for them. Giving the kitty some space and creating a calm environment is important in establishing a trusting relationship.

This was our third time having Lyndsey care for our three cats, and once again, she went above and beyond! We traveled to Thailand for ten days, and knowing our cats were in her hands gave us complete peace of mind. She provided excellent care, kept us updated, and ensured they were happy and comfortable. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!

There are so many awesome choices of sitters on Meowtel that you probably couldn’t go wrong with anyone. But we are over the moon to have chosen Lyndsey! She was everything you could hope for in a cat sitter. Not only was she easy to communicate with, she was anticipatory of all our cat’s needs and accommodating to any changes. She watered our plants for us and even brought in the mail. When we ended up needing to add more days for Freddie Purrcury’s comfort, she was easy to work with and available. She even offered to come and evacuate him if the SoCal fires got too close and an evacuation order had to be given. Needless to say, Lyndsey brings with her an incomparable value and a high level of care. We can’t wait to hire her again!

This was our second time using Lyndsey as our cat sitter, and she continues to exceed all expectations! We have three cats, and she took fantastic care of each one, giving them the attention and care they deserve. Lyndsey is reliable, professional, and genuinely loves animals—it shows in how happy and relaxed our cats are when we return. She keeps us updated with photos and notes, so we always feel at ease knowing our fur babies are in the best hands. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets like her own, Lyndsey is absolutely the best! Highly recommend her to any pet owner.

Lyndsey was great keeping our cats happy and healthy while we were out of town. She even got our scaredy cat to come out and play. Amazing!😻

We couldn’t be happier with the care Lyndsey provided for our three kitties! From the start, she was incredibly professional, attentive, and loving with each of our cats, making sure they felt comfortable and safe. Lyndsey kept us updated with pictures and notes, which really put our mind at ease. Lyndsey even brought in packages that were outside and when we got an oversized package she easily brought that in too. We were having issues with our litter robot and somehow she fixed that and knew to clean the sensors. Our trash day happened when we were away and she even moved the trash bins closer to our home from the street. When we came home, our cats were calm, happy, and clearly well taken care of. I highly recommend Lyndsey to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and detail-oriented cat sitter. It’s clear that Lyndsey genuinely loves animals, she is warm and sweet and we are so grateful for the peace of mind Lyndsey provided!

Becke

Lyndsey is an exceptionally intelligent and well mannered individual and all animals that she has owned or watched are extremely healthy and well adjusted. As a nurse, Lyndsey has learned firsthand how to be a good listener, how to follow instructions, and how to be diligent while providing care. She is known as being dependable and caring and is an overall lovely person to be around. I would trust her with any animal that needs care, no matter how difficult or challenging the situation may be.

Frequently Asked Questions

Tampa cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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.
