I've been cat sitting for friends/family for over a decade, and was a professional pet sitter with a local company for 5 years. I went to school in Fort Collins, CO for my approved vet assistant destination as well. I'm currently a cat guardian to 2 senior black kitties, and one adult white and brown tabby, and have been a cat parent my entire adult life. My friends like to say I'm a cat whisperer; I love working with shy cats to have them come out of their shells. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your feline family member(s)!

Learn More About Julie

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

I was a professional pet sitter for 5 years, and I was often assigned to the houses with cats. I've been watching cats for my friends/family for over a decade.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I'm currently a cat mom to three cats - Caleb is my 14 year old black cat, Urd is my almost 13 year old black cat, and Hanna is my 5 year old white and brown tabby.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I'm usually in town during the holidays, and can accommodate your cat sitting needs and reservations without any issues.

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

My middle cat, Urd, is extremely shy and anxious around most people. She has been a great helper in teaching me to go slowly, let a cat approach me instead of encroaching on their space, and praise/reward a cat when they make the first step out of their comfort zone.

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.

Lawrence 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!
