Stress-Free Cat Sitting

I'm Lydia

Cat Sitting in Denver, CO

My name is Lydia and my love of cats began when I was little and my parents adopted two kitties. Besides being obviously adorable, I love how cats have such unique personalities and live life on THEIR terms.

I finally adopted my own cat, a tabby I named Cashew, in March of 2020 and have been treating her like the queen she is ever since!

I’ve worked as a cat shelter volunteer at Animal Friends while I was a graduate student at the University of Pittsburgh...
My name is Lydia and my love of cats began when I was little and my parents adopted two kitties. Besides being obviously adorable, I love how cats have such unique personalities and live life on THEIR terms.

I finally adopted my own cat, a tabby I named Cashew, in March of 2020 and have been treating her like the queen she is ever since!

I’ve worked as a cat shelter volunteer at Animal Friends while I was a graduate student at the University of Pittsburgh. I am also Red Cross Pet First Aid certified. Having to leave your cats alone while out of town can be nerve-wracking, and I want to ensure that anyone who leaves their cats in my care can feel at ease knowing their cats are in good hands!

I currently work with medically complex kids at Children’s Hospital Colorado and my schedule is typically 10-hour shifts on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On those days I can easily visit before work in the morning. On my days off (typically Thursdays and weekends), I’m available anytime!

Lydia did an amazing job taking care of my 3 year old cat, Ethyl. She was great with communication and sent multiple photos and updates with every visit! She was very attentive to Ethyl and asked many questions about her care during the pre-sitting visit. Her experience and love for animals was clear from the start. I felt so at ease during my 4-day vacation knowing that Ethyl was so well taken care of! Would highly recommend booking with Lydia!

Lydia has been phenomenal. While my partner and I were traveling internationally, the family member staying with our cats had to go to the hospital unexpectedly. Lydia worked with us to coordinate care for our kittens under stressful, uncertain circumstances, and even reached out to Meowtel on our behalf when we had questions about how to book when we weren't sure how many days we would need someone to be here. She's always super responsive and thorough, and we couldn't ask for a better partner in making sure the cats are well cared for when we're away.

Lydia is fantastic with my 3 cats! She can even find my cat who usually hides from everyone. She is an expert at fixing our temperamental litter robot, and sends excellent updates and pictures.

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 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!
