Lorelei's Love For Cats

I'm Lorelei

Cat Sitting in Winter Park, FL

Hello:
My name is Lorelei and my greatest love is cats!! I was a Veterinary Technician for almost 20 years but have since retired. This retirement has allowed my love and care for cats and the study of feline psychology to soar. I am fascinated by the personality and ability of each of the amazing individual kitties I meet. Cats are excellent people!!

Having worked so closely with animals, my keen interest and intuition in felines in particular is top notch. I have observed many misconceptions about the understanding of why CATS ARE CATS. Helping people learn how to build stronger bonds with their kitties, understand certain negative behaviors and creating the happiest environment for their kitties and families is a huge passion of mine.

This is why at every visit, each one of your kitties will get individualized engagement consisting of love, treats, and or play...

Cats are excellent people!!

Having worked so closely with animals, my keen interest and intuition in felines in particular is top notch. I have observed many misconceptions about the understanding of why CATS ARE CATS. Helping people learn how to build stronger bonds with their kitties, understand certain negative behaviors and creating the happiest environment for their kitties and families is a huge passion of mine.

This is why at every visit, each one of your kitties will get individualized engagement consisting of love, treats, and or play. They tell me what their favorite activity is and I take it to a higher level with them!! I believe engagement is the key and leaves your kitty wanting for nothing until my next visit with them. From wild and crazy air leaping with a toy, playing in a box, tunnel, or cat tree, to sitting quietly with soft pets….or no pets in some cases, is what we will be doing while you are away. A happy and fulfilled cat is my heart!

Furthermore, my general and specific medical knowledge of felines is another one of my greatest assets. I am well versed in the following but not limited to.

-Any medical or special needs
-Injections
-Inhalers
-Ear, eye, or oral medications
-Diabetic care
-Subcutaneous fluids
-extensive brushing
-Dietary needs and goals
-Elderly care


Do you have plants or fish? Those are two of my favorite hobbies and I would be happy to care for them as well!!

I would love an opportunity to meet and care for your kitties, as I would my own three. Being a guest in your home is an honor and I look forward to making you and your kitties happy with a positive experience for all.

Thank you so much!!!

Learn More About Lorelei

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

I have been a cat sitter on Meowtel for a year and a half. Before that I took care of the health and wellbeing of kitties as a Veterinary Technician for close to 20 years.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

It's sooo hard to pick one thing!! What I enjoy about cat sitting is witnessing kitties, especially the shy or grumpy ones, come out of their shell and engage with me more at each visit, seeing them so content before I leave and hearing the parent tell me their kitty seemed so calm and happy when they returned. Ultimately, I enjoy assessing which tricks I can teach each kitty that come natural for them.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have 3 kitties who are 13 years old. Their names are Harbour, Syren and Jake. They are all siblings.

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

Compassion from the heart and experience is usually naturally visible.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

My typical process for working with a new cat parent is as follows: -I set up a meet and greet sooner than later to ensure we are a good match for each other -At the meet and greet first and foremost I say hello and get permission from the kitty to be there. Then we go over all of the duties, locations of everything, individual kitty and parent needs, likes and dislikes. -At the conclusion of each visit I send a detailed update on how well they are eating, drinking, using their litter box and what activities we enjoyed together. I also send many photos and or videos (depending on what and how many the parent prefers).

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Im a detailed oriented person so I'm constantly monitoring the home inside and out for anything unusual or suspicious. Upon arrival I scan the entire parts of the house that are accessible by the kitty and make sure nothing is knocked down, chewed up, and that there is no vomit, urine or BM anywhere unauthorized :)

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I am usually available on all holidays.

What is your favorite cat toy?

It is my special secret :)

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

If a cat is timid or anxious I generally sit on the floor and use a calming soft voice to talk to them while offering their favorite treat from a distance. Sometimes I will sit and gently show them my favorite toy which usually gets their attention with the quickness! If that doesn't work I will move around the house quietly while taking care of everything and allow them to come out when they are ready.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Lorelei! From the moment we had our initial meet and greet, my 3 boys came right up to her. They are generally cautious of new visitors, but they were drawn to her immediately. We discussed the ins and outs of their daily routine as well as feeding instructions. My kitty who needs daily medications allowed her to pick him up no problem and I was amazed as he is my shy boy. I could relax a bit knowing they would be in such caring hands. I was gone for several days and Lorelei sent daily updates with photos and videos. She brought a toy over that they absolutely loved and she brushed all 3 on every visit. I could tell from the videos how happy they were to have her there as they are extremely attached to me and not used to being alone for long stretches (I work from home). Attention to detail was given to everything she did and when I arrived home, I swear they looked so fresh and happy! They definitely were excited to have mommy home but were also looking for Lorelei. She made this nervous momma so at ease and the experience was without a doubt, one of the best decisions I have ever made for them. It allowed me peace and I will definitely be using her for babysitting needs in the future. If you are looking for the purrfect kitty sitter, look no further. She is truly the very best thing you can do for your furry family. ❤️😻

I've never used a pet service before and was very nervous. I feel like I hit the jackpot with Lorelei. From the first visit she was professional and reassuring. Jax.R.Carlile came right out to meet her when she came over for the introductory visit and was rubbing his whiskers on her. She provided daily pics and videos plus updates about his eating and litter box. She spent time and played with him every visit. I will request Lorelei again in the future.

Lorelei was the perfect match for my boys! She was beyond communicative, kind, and loving. I could even notice a difference in my shy boy when I got home, Lorelei was able to get him to come out of his shell even more! She sent me not only an update on every visit, but she also sent plenty of pictures and videos. She even went above and beyond to offer to go to the store to grab extra treats for my babies. I couldn’t have left them in better hands. Having peace of mind that your fur babies are safe is crucial when going out of town. I can confidently say that I never had any doubt that my boys were safe with Lorelei! She’s the best!!!

Lorelei was excellent with our senior cats! Every session, Lorelei had great communication and was gentle and kind to our 3 furbabies. Photo and video updates were provided daily, with descriptions of their eating and bathroom habits for the day as well. It made traveling so easy for my husband and I. We will be using Lorelei again!

Once again we had the best experience with Lorelei. My three boys remembered her and were so happy to see her. She fed, played, brushed and tended the litter boxes on each visit. The videos and photos were proof of their complete relaxation and contentment. As a kahu of three amazing boys, I could not possibly ask for a better stand-in while I'm away. Lorelei will always be our go-to kitty sitter. Thanks so much for everything you do and please don't leave us!! 😻😂

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.

Winter Park cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!
