Learn More About Lauren

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

I've been cat sitting for over 10 years off the platform with several happy human and feline clients! I have developed several regular Meowtel clients, and appreciate working with the platform.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love the opportunity to meet new faces and spread joy with cats and community members that I meet on Meowtel. I also love taking pictures of the cats I meet and sharing them with their humans while they are away!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

The first cat that I sat for on Meowtel is a true Tiger! He enjoys playing with his stick toy, laying in the sun, and hanging out. He's a real ham for the camera too, and I love being able to share what he's up to with his human! I've had the opportunity to watch him several times, and I'm always thrilled when he comes up on my schedule.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Walter McGee is the sweetest lap cat ever. He loves long drives in the car, ice cream nibbles, and chicken.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I try to be available during most holidays, and usually have 3 or 4 months of availability on my schedule open at all times. Need a date that isnt available yet? Messgae me!

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

If cats arent ready to be friends right away, that's OK! I usually spend the first 25% of time per visit bonding. Sometimes that is just sitting on the floor in the same room as the cat and seeing if they come to me before starting food, water, and litter. I never try to pet a cat without having them sniff me first and believing that they are comfortable being pet. I also never pick up cats unless absolutely needed, such as for safety or for giving medication.

Lauren kept our girl well cared for and engaged. She's usually a bit anxious and frantic after our trips away. But with Lauren's attention and play, she only greeted us with excitement upon our return. The place was very tidy too!

Lauren is fantastic. She was able to interact regularly with our very shy cat. She is very attentive and is really good with details. 10/10 would recommend. Plus I have some incredible kitty pictures now. Lauren really went above and beyond to make sure things were normal and regular for our kitty. And she communicated and turn our old timey AC down in the summer, huge blessing! We will be using her again in the future.

Lauren took great care of my cat Albert! She was conscientious of my cat’s needs, well organized, and easy to communicate with. I felt so at ease knowing that Albert would be in good hands. Thanks again!

Lauren is a great communicator and loves her own cats. She is prepared to help with challenges that may arise quickly and with empathy. She would be a fantastic cat sitter and I would trust her with my own cats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Champaign cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $23.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes 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 comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
