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

I’ve been cat sitting for friends and family for the past 10 years, caring for a variety of personalities - from shy, independent cats to social lap-lovers. I also have two 5-year-old cats of my own, so I fully understand how important trust, consistency, and attention to detail are when it comes to caring for someone’s furry family member. My experience has taught me how to read body language, respect boundaries, and create a calm, safe environment every time I visit.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

What I enjoy most about cat sitting is the quiet bond that forms over time. I love earning a cat’s trust, respecting their space, and learning their unique little quirks - whether it’s the way they like to play, nap, or ask for attention. There’s something really special about being the person who helps them feel calm and cared for while their family is away. Plus, getting to spend time with cats (and send cute updates to their humans!) is genuinely one of my favorite things.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I have two cats of my own - Sammy and Fiona. Sammy is a fluffy orange boy with a big appetite and a tender heart (he’s basically a cowardly lion). Fiona is a petite gray girl who acts more like a golden retriever than a cat - she’s wildly social, adores people, and demands attention at all times. They both have totally different personalities, and they’ve taught me so much about meeting cats where they are and loving them for exactly who they are.

Lara was AMAZING!! So kind, quick to respond, reliable, and trustworthy. She sent the cutest photos of my cats, and little stories of how each visit went.

Lara was amazing, communicative, words can't explain. She had to go through quite a few access points to care for our kittens. Daily photos, followed instructions well, no surprises. Would definitely ask her to do it in the future.

Lara is a wonderful cat sitter! My cats love her and are always happy to see her. She is trustworthy, friendly and reliable. I always feel confident knowing my cats are in good hands when I am out of town. She communicates regularly and sends me the cutest pictures of my kitties. I couldn't ask for a better person to take care of my babies when I can't be there.

Lara has been my cat sitter for the past two years. She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about cats, an excellent and thorough communicator, and treats my cats as if they were her own. She always provides thorough updates— both written and pictures, and makes my time away from home easier because I am confident my cats are in great hands!

Frequently Asked Questions

Fort Lauderdale cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Cat sitters on Meowtel offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel has been background-checked and reviewed. Every Meowtel reservation may come with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation may come with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
