Learn More About Lauren
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes! I have two of my own and their name are Pachi and yachi 😸 Pachi is a little black kitty , he’s 2 years old and he is very playful! Yachi is about 5 months and she’s a little ball of cuteness!
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
My process typically starts with asking questions such as what they are looking for? what is their cat like? Then after the consultation we would do a meet and greet! meet the parent and cat have them get to know me then set up schedule!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I would give them space and provide a calming environment for them and wait for them to come to me!

Lauren was very kind, flexible, and communicative! One of cats is timid around new people, but Lauren was calm and earned his trust very quickly, and they become good buddies! Our travel plans shifted last minute, and Lauren was able to care for the our kitties for extended time with pictures during each visits, which gave us peace of mind that our kitties were in good care during our time away. We highly recommend Lauren as cat sitter that goes above and beyond!

Lauren was very good! My cats are "sensitive" so the fact she took extra care and got Sherman (an FIV-positive dumped cat that joined my feral colony at railroad tracks before I found places for all) to let her brush him was great! Gladys (feral now living with me) tolerated her, which is also pretty great:)

Lauren connected well with my two cats, Elise and Sylvie. Sylvie was adopted less than a year ago and is normally wary of new people but Lauren made friends with her quickly. Lauren also deftly handled Elise's complex feeding and medication schedule, no small feat as Elise hates taking medicine. She kept us updated with pictures and videos to let us know that the cats were in good hands.

Lauren was wonderful at keeping us updated while we were away and keeping the home clean! It was so pleasant to come home to a clean litter box and clean cat dishes. Our cats seemed very happy! I’d absolutely book her again.

Our cat, Ulan, warmed up to Lauren right away! We had Lauren pop by for a quick check in everyday while we were away. She sent plenty of photos and kept our apartment clean. We would rebook her in the future! Thanks so much!

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.
Washington cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!

Highly recommend Lauren! :) I've booked Lauren twice now to help care for my tuxie while I travel out of town for several days, and she has always left him so happy and calm. She sends lots of cute photos and detailed updates, responds super quickly, and knows just how to care for my cat. She was also super patient with some scheduling blips on my end.

Lauren is one of the few pet sitters we've ve encountered where we return from a trip and our cat doesn't appear sad or distressed. it's as though our cat took a vacation too!

Lauren is a wonderful cat sitter! She’s taken care of my cat Benson several times now, and she does an excellent job. I always get the best pics and updates from her, too. When I get home, I can tell Benson is happy and has been well cared for. Thank you, Lauren! You’re the best!!

Lauren was an amazing pet sitter when my husband and I left town for a few days. She took excellent care of my little guy Benson and sent the best pictures and videos each time she dropped in to see him. I could tell he was happy and well cared for when we got home. Would absolutely book her again next time we go out of town!

Lauren is the most reliable, trusted, and loveable cat sitter! Incredibly detailed-oriented, positive, and professional, I have so much respect for Lauren’s passion to care for cats and their overall wellbeing. I feel so at ease when I have to leave my cat, knowing he is so taken care of - I don’t know what I would do without her!
