I have lived with dogs and cats, plus the occasional fish, bird, or Guinea pig, since I was born, so I’ve been taking care of them since I was a small child. Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to care for and feed their pets and keep them safe, as well as to provide oral medications and keep skittish, anxious, or previously traumatized pets calm during storms, fireworks, or separation anxiety. As an empathetic and compassionate person, I am always doing my best to attune to what pets are signaling me and respond accordingly in a manner that signals love, safety, and security back to them.

Learn More About Laura

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

It genuinely delights me to connect with animals. Getting to know each cat and their individual personalities, quirks, likes, dislikes, wants, and needs brings me the joy of getting to know a new friend. It lights me up to see a cat get comfortable with my presence. There’s little I treasure more than bonding with loving furry companions - they are a gift that keeps on giving with their adorable and often funny ways of showing their personalities and their affection.

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

I would say to pay attention to how communicative your prospective sitter is with you and how present they are with your pet. When I am seeking to find if someone is trustworthy, I want to see evidence that they are a reliable and responsive communicator who will ask questions if they need to and provide updates regularly, and that they are grounded and attentive to their surroundings and environment and therefore to the pets they work with.

Are you usually available during holidays?

As a massage therapist and in home pet sitter, I have some fixed work shifts as well as some flexibility to adapt to variable schedules, and am often available during most holidays. Cats are the best company!

Laura was wonderful with our two cats. She was consistently punctual and carefully followed all their dietary guidelines and care instructions. The regular photos and videos she sent showed our cats comfortable and relaxed, which gave us real peace of mind.

Laura did an amazing job with our cat, Sally! It was our first time leaving her alone since she was adopted from the shelter and she has been hesitant around other people. Within a few days Laura was able to get Sally to play with her. Laura did a great job of respecting Sally's space and letting Sally trust her! We will 100% use Laura in the future with our pets. I am confident that she will follow the animal's cues and build a trusting relationship with them. I know my animals will be safe and cared for with Laura.

Laura was incredibly helpful in taking care of my 2 kitties while I was out of town for the holidays! In just a few short days she managed to make my anxious babies that normally hide when people come take care of them, feel safe and loved enough to come out and play and get all the pets!! (have never had that happen with anyone else) would absolutely recommend her to anyone else!

Laura is an incredible pet sitter that we trust with our cats. She is very communicative, considerate and would send us plenty of pictures and videos of our cats while we were away, and she gave us an immense peace of mind. We highly recommend working with Laura, she is now our go-to. Thank you Laura!! We wouldn’t have been able to enjoy our vacation the way we did without you.

Laura did a great job for our five furbabies, even two of the shy ones came out for attention. She kept us updated with a lot of cute pictures and videos. I really appreciate the time she took with them each day. Thank you, Laura, for making our quick trip so much better without the worry for our “kids”.

Big thanks to Laura for excellent care of my two cats. She sent cute photos that reassured me that all was well at home. Laura respected my cats' desired levels of interaction each day. She took care of food, water, litter boxes, and let the cats know that they were in good hands. I'll definitely be booking with Laura again. We're new in town, and Reddit users recommended Meowtel for trusted cat sitters. Meowtel was easy to use.

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.

Asheville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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!
