Cat Sitting in Denver, CO

I have volunteered at shelters and worked specifically with all types of cats... Hello! My name is Lyd and I am a cat fanatic. I have four of my own 🐱 BooBoo, Pippi, Rosie, and Kokoro, one with special needs, and have had cats all of my life.
I currently live in Lakewood.
Cat sitting has always been a passion of mine. Getting to make your cat feel comfortable and happy would bring me so much joy. I have volunteered at shelters and worked specifically with all types of cats, including those with special needs or those who need a little more attention to ensure they are comfortable. I have medication experiences with topical ointments, flea preventatives, eyedrops, eardrops, oral medications, and pills.
Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions! I look forward to providing love to your kitties and making you feel at peace while you are away!
Learn More About Lyd
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve volunteered for shelters, had cats my whole life, and have been cat sitting in my community for over 10 years! I am on my 3rd year of cat sitting through Meowtel! 🎉
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
What I enjoy most about cat sitting is the bond I create with your cat, and ultimately making you feel comfortable as well. I love each cat’s unique personalities, their funny quirks, and how I can make their day brighter by visiting them! Having 4 cats myself, I completely understand the anxiety of leaving them while you’re away. I love working with cats, but I also love working with their cat parents and ensuring I can do whatever is needed so that you feel more calm about leaving home.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 4 kitties - BooBoo, Pippi, Kokoro, and Rosie 😸
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
It’s always best to meet in person first and make sure the sitter is a great fit and all questions are asked and answered. Meowtel does a great job at vetting their sitters and has very strict policies, including background checks and interviews.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
A Meet & Greet is extremely important in understanding yours and your kitties’ needs, discussing instructions, getting familiarized with your home, and ultimately building trust. I want to make sure you feel comfortable with me taking care of your kitties, and I understand the vulnerability in doing so. At the Meet & Greet, we can discuss all of these things and I get to meet you and the kitty in person!
What is your favorite cat toy?
The most basic wire toy, “Cat Dancer” is a fan favorite! I can usually get almost any cat to play with one.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I believe in fostering a strong bond with every cat I care for, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. Every kitty has their preferences, and I take the time to understand each individual kitty’s needs and how they like to be interacted with. I have 4 anxious babies and understand that each cat is unique, including their personalities and anxieties. I have dealt with many scenarios in taking care of anxious cats and I am very familiar in noticing the indicators of their anxiety or if they are uncomfortable, and I will always keep you updated on your cat’s well-being!

Lyd was absolutely wonderful! My cat is older and having some health problems so I’m always nervous leaving him when I need to travel for work. Lyd learned how to administer meds through his e-tube and Dummy got some great snuggle time. Any cat would be lucky to receive such great care.

Watching 4 cats is not an easy job, and Lyd was absolutely incredible with them, understanding their unique personalities and needs while also keeping me updated, sending the cutest pictures! There are no words to describe the peace of mind you feel knowing your babies are being cared for and loved while you are away! And then coming back to see them as happy and healthy as they could be!

Lyd went above and beyond in caring for my cats! I came home to happy cats and a clean house. Their attention to detail was impressive and they were very personable and provided me with custom updates and photos and videos. I’ve had my fair share of sitters and Lyd is truly one of a kind and you can tell they geniunely care about cats (and people!) Would book again 1000%.

I can’t recommend Lyd enough! My shy, older cat usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but Lyd won her over on the first visit. The photo and video updates were such a comfort while I was away. It’s clear Lyd is both reliable and a true animal lover. So happy to have found such a caring sitter - thanks Lyd!

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 $28.00. 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 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. 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 free Meet & Greet!

Lyd was amazing! I was nervous to leave my kitty with someone new and as soon as I met Lyd, I knew she was in good hands! Lyd sent detailed updates daily, notifying me of anything that stuck out to her in case it wasn’t normal. I came home to a happy kitty, empty litter trash, and Lyd even cleaned up the litter off my floor. Will be booking with Lyd whenever I can!

Lyd was such a great sitter for my 2 cats. I was away on a long trip, and they updated me daily with each visit's highlights. I loved the photos and videos they sent over - it's especially great to see my kitties happy while I'm away. Lyd even changed the batteries in the smoke detector when it alerted. It's clear Lyd is a cat-person, and I trust them with my babies and my home.

Lyd is awesome! Super thorough, great photos and very thoughtful. They were able to connect with my shy kitty who usually hides but didn’t. Also helped out with taking care of my senior kitty with special needs. Felt comforting to be away and know my kitties were well taken care of! Will absolutely hire again!

Idgie seemed to warm up surprisingly well to Lydia!! She’s very hard to charm, but Lydia definitely did it. We got timely updates and photos, which made our day and made us feel completely at ease during our trip. Would love to have Lydia back to be with Idgie next time we’re away!

Lydia is sweet and gentle with my cat, Chloe. She really takes time with her to engage her and play with her. She goes above and beyond with her, as well as helps me with things like watering plants when needed. I feel like everything I love is safe with Lydia, and would request her again and again.
Natalie

Lydia made utilizing a cat sitter such a smooth and comfortable experience. I have a very anxious/shy cat that didn't come out during the initial pet meet and greet and Lydia charmed her out to eat on the first night we were out of town. I will definitely be a repeat client :)
