I'm Lucinda

Cat Sitting in Denver, CO

Hi! I'm Lucinda, a full-time cat sitter and lover of cats! I've met over 300 kitties through Meowtel, grew up with cats, and have two nuggets of my own: Clary, who has been with me for over a decade now, and Emrys, a kitten I adopted in June 2019. Never thought when I started cat sitting that it would become my main job, and getting to spend every day with cats is a DREAM!

I understand feline body language well, and while of course I want every cat in the world to immediately adore me, I know that sometimes it takes time and patience...
Hi! I'm Lucinda, a full-time cat sitter and lover of cats! I've met over 300 kitties through Meowtel, grew up with cats, and have two nuggets of my own: Clary, who has been with me for over a decade now, and Emrys, a kitten I adopted in June 2019. Never thought when I started cat sitting that it would become my main job, and getting to spend every day with cats is a DREAM!

I understand feline body language well, and while of course I want every cat in the world to immediately adore me, I know that sometimes it takes time and patience. My parents and I tend to attract cats with strong personality quirks, so I know the value of patience! For example, my cat, Clary, is the most loving and cuddly cat I've ever had--but she's also the literal definition of a scaredy-cat and always needs to have an escape route to her safe spaces available. Some of the kitty clients I've met have been similar, needing lots of time and patience to decide to approach. I'm happy to give it to them! Kitty needs come first, and if that means I don't get to pet or lay eyes on some of my more skittish ones, that's okay! The point of all of that is to say that I love all cats, even the ones that take a little more time and patience than others--and I've discovered that those sorts of cats are often the best of all.

Learn More About Lucinda

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

The cats! I embrace my destiny as a "Crazy Cat Lady" and honestly prefer the company of cats to most people. Those who dislike cats say that they're all the same and have no personalities, which couldn't be further from the truth! I love getting to know and spend time with each and every kitty client!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My absolute favorite reservations are when the anxious kitties finally decide that I'm okay and they want snuggles. I won't stop smiling for days when that happens, especially when it's taken some time for us to get there. It's such a reward when we finally do! One particular kitty client I saw every day for a month, and every day I would army crawl under the bed (that I didn't really fit under) to reach out to her so she could sniff my fingers and say hello. She didnt run from me, but shed never come out. Day after day it was the same... and then, on the last three days, she popped right out and followed me all around the house like we'd been friends forever. I'm so proud of every skittish kitty who decides to be brave and come over for love!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes, two! Clary, who is around 14 (from a shelter so unsure of her exact age) and Emrys, who is is five. I grew up with cats and have had them around for almost all my life.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I take time off every year during the early Fall, but I am around to cat sit during all big holidays. I do fill up for normal holidays 2~3 weeks ahead of time and Thanksgiving and Christmas are both always full by early October, so be sure to get those bookings in early!

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

My own girl, Clary, is anxious by nature. Loves me and climbs all over me, but is very jumpy and is afraid of strangers. Because of her, I know how to move and talk in ways that are a little less scary and I understand how to take my time with them, as well as when I can nudge their boundaries and when I need to back off a little. I'm pretty good at winning cats over; it's probsbly less than 5% of the cats I've met who I can't eventually at least get a finger sniff and a pet from. Part of it is also understanding kitty body language and discovering the unique quirks of every cat! I have a bunch of kitty clients who don't want to be touched but enjoy sitting in the same room together. Every cat is different!

Lucinda was absolutely amazing while watching my cats for two weeks while I was away visiting family. She sent daily pictures and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind and made me feel connected to my cats even from far away. She always kept me updated if supplies were running low and let me know when it was time to order more cat food or litter, which I appreciated so much. She also went above and beyond by bringing up packages and helping keep everything in order while I was gone. Most importantly, my cats were so clearly loved and cared for. When I came home, I could immediately tell they had been taken care of very, very well and were happy and comfortable the entire time. Lucinda is incredibly sweet, thoughtful, reliable, and truly wonderful with animals. I would recommend her to absolutely anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy cat sitter!

Lucinda is a gem! I have new kittens along with older cats and she managed them perfectly. She refused to complain when the kittens woke her up at 3a with kitten parkour, too. 😹 She gives lots of advice and ideas for making things work for the new kittens, and they all love her. The photos help make me miss them a little less when I'm away.

Lucinda has been our cat sitter for a couple years. I can’t say enough good things about her! She is so good with our all our cats! Last year when one of our cats fell ill, she was able to administer meds and help clean up accidents. She was so incredibly patient and caring during a hard time. Lucinda is always quick to respond and she sends the best pictures and updates! We feel so fortunate to have found her!

Absolutely purr-fect. Her experience and compassion for cats help so much when caring for my three very different kitties. My very shy kitty has come to trust her and gets lots of attention. She has creative ways to give pills to my kitty on chemo that make it so much less stressful. She has a watchful eye and notices if anything seems 'off' - which gives me peace of mind. She's always reliable and communicates well - including the cutest pictures of my kitties snuggling and playing. She goes above and beyond. I couldn't recommend her more highly.

Lucinda is a wonderful cat sitter through Meowtel. She is communicative, sends excellent daily updates and photos, and clearly cares about our cats. Her knowledge of feline behavior and needs gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We were able to truly relax knowing our cats were in such good hands. A++

I couldn’t wish for a better experience. Lucinda’s care is flatout incredible. We were one of her many clients over the Holidays but somehow she made us feel that our cat was her only focus. She seemed to instantly understand the character and preferences of our fury friend and her updates and pictures were heartwarming and funny. It made all the difference while missing our precious boy.

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.

Denver cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!
