Cat Sitting in Lafayette, CO

Hi there! I’m Maya, a lifelong cat lover, devoted cat parent, and experienced cat sitter serving Boulder and neighboring cities. I’ve spent years caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. I truly believe that every cat deserves thoughtful, individualized care - especially when their humans are away. I approach every visit with patience, kindness, and a genuine love for all things feline.

Before becoming a cat sitter, I worked as a veterinary technician assistant, which gave me extensive hands-on experience with medically complex cats. This background allows me to confidently support cats who may need a little extra attention, including those with chronic illnesses, mobility issues, anxiety, respiratory conditions, or kidney disease...
Hi there! I’m Maya, a lifelong cat lover, devoted cat parent, and experienced cat sitter serving Boulder and neighboring cities. I’ve spent years caring for cats of all ages, personalities, and medical needs. I truly believe that every cat deserves thoughtful, individualized care - especially when their humans are away. I approach every visit with patience, kindness, and a genuine love for all things feline.

Before becoming a cat sitter, I worked as a veterinary technician assistant, which gave me extensive hands-on experience with medically complex cats. This background allows me to confidently support cats who may need a little extra attention, including those with chronic illnesses, mobility issues, anxiety, respiratory conditions, or kidney disease. I’m comfortable administrating oral medications, inhalers, injectable medications, subcutaneous fluids, and following precise feeding or medical routines. I know how stressful it can be to leave a member of the family behind, and my goal is to give cat parents complete peace of mind - with timely updates, detailed visit notes, and lots of photos.

At home, I have my own medically complex (and delightfully spunky) Bengal cat named Basil. She keeps me humble and reminds me every day how important it is to have a sitter you fully trust. Living with her has given me firsthand insight into managing complex care schedules, reading subtle behavior cues, and making cats feel safe during transitions.

When I’m not caring for cats, I work full-time in cancer research and unwind with needlepoint, reading, and cozy evenings with Basil.

I’d love to meet your furry family member and provide dependable, compassionate, and knowledgeable care while you’re away. Feel free to reach out with any questions - I’m always happy to chat about your cat’s needs!

Learn More About Maya

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

My introduction to cat sitting was while perusing my graduate degree in Fort Collins. It allowed me to have a temporary pet with my academic schedule constraints. It was incredibly fulfilling and was a fantastic way to meet a variety of people and animals.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do! I have a Bengal cat named Basil. She is the highlight and energy ball of the family. You can usually find her sprinting away on her cat wheel or yelling at you to play fetch!

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

That’s a fantastic question! For one, look for a cat sitter that matches your cat’s needs. If your kitty has medical conditions, anxiety, or quirky routines (don’t they all?!)- make sure your sitter is comfortable handling those situations and will feel comfortable handling unexpected situations. Secondly, ask questions! A good sitter won’t mind providing clarification and explaining their approach or how they handle emergencies. As a cat owner myself, I would prefer to over communicate with the own than have any pet parent spending their time away worried about their cats at home while they are away!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! If any dates that you are looking for are blocked on my calendar please don’t hesitate to send me a message. There’s typically some flexibility within my schedule!

Maya was great! She accepted my request quickly and communicated clearly and thoroughly prior to her cat sitting visits to my home. She had a list of questions for me during the pre-trip meet and greet which assured me she is thorough and detail oriented. My cats’ needs were covered exactly how we agreed. I felt very comfortable entrusting Maya with my cats and home.

Maya was wonderful at taking care of both our cats. Especially appreciated the care she showed our diabetic cat who typically is stand of fish but warmed right to Maya.

It was my first time using the service and I honestly have no complaints. Maya was great! She took great care of my cats and kept me updated with how they were doing. My cats can be pretty reserved with new people and Maya won them over quickly.

Maya took great care of our kitty while we were away on vacation. It was only the second time we had left our kitty, so we were nervous! Maya sent us cute pictures and honest updates with every visit. She even left us a sweet card on that last visit!

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.

Lafayette cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
