I'm Laura
Cat Sitting in Hyattsville, MD
About my visits:
-Feeding/water change
-Litter Box cleaning
-Medicine if necessary
-Playtime and Cuddle time
-Any... I'm an opera singer, local freelancer, and lifelong cat lover. I have raised 3 kitties to a healthy old age, and I have a particular soft spot for senior cats. I have ample experience administering daily subcutaneous fluid therapy for cats with renal failure or kidney disease, and I have also given daily insulin injections to cats with diabetes. Safe to say, there's nothing I won't do for a cat, and there's no task too squeamish for me.
About my visits:
-Feeding/water change
-Litter Box cleaning
-Medicine if necessary
-Playtime and Cuddle time
-Any necessary cleanup of food prep areas
-Photo and text updates so you can feel at ease and know your pet is comfortable and happy!
-I am happy to water plants, take in the mail, take out the trash, just let me know if you have any requests.
-I am fully vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19, and am happy to wear a mask if requested.
My career as a performer means that I learn fast, I follow directions, and I am great at reading personalities (purr-sonalities, as it were) and adapting to make people (and cats) feel at ease. Those who know me personally can attest that I light up the moment I see a cat, and I will never pass up an opportunity to say hello. I hope I can have the pleasure of meeting your fur-babies, and you can have the comfort of knowing they are safe and well-cared for!
Learn More About Laura
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been a cat sitter for Meowtel for three years, and a cat mom my entire life! I have cared for cats of all ages from kittens to seniors.
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love all the fun and different purr-sonalities I get to meet whenever I have a new kitty client :) I also love that I get to help fellow cat lovers feel like their loved ones are safe in the hands of someone who truly understands appreciates cats.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I am a cat mom to an all black kitty named Ozzie! Growing up, I had three cats who all lived to a ripe old age, and as such I have a special fondness for senior cats.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
At my first meet-and-greet at your home, I'll ask you to show me the basics such as where/what time/how much the kitties get fed, where is their litter box and how do you prefer for waste to be thrown away. If your cat needs any kind of special routine or medical care, I'll ask you to demonstrate that for me if you can. I then will ask about details about entering the home, such as where can I park my car, is there a security code or an alarm system, and I always ask if you prefer your lights to be left on or off. When I visit a new cat for the first time, I typically will feed them first, so their first memory of me involves food! Then I sit and we get to know each other with toys or treats :)

Great pictures and updates each time Laura visited our kitties. Cats loved having her for playtime and cuddles in addition to feeding. Kept us updated on their litterbox condition and cleaned up when one of the cats made a mess of the wall next to the litterbox. Did a great job putting our furntiture covers back on as well each time she visited. Would trust her with our kittens again!

One of our cat's had a bit of a tummy ache the day before our trip and Laura provided litter box updates to let us know how he was doing. She also moved our heavy couch to locate my shy kitty to make sure that she was accounted for which eased my mind.

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.
Hyattsville cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!

Laura took amazing care of my cats and even gave me updates on my house when a freeze unexpectedly hit while we were away. She even managed to befriend my super shy boi. Excellent service!

This was my first experience with Meowtel. Laura was great! She was friendly and professional, one of my cats has asthma and uses an inhaler & needs oral medication as well. Laura was open to learning how to administer the inhaler and was already knowledgeable in administering oral medicine. She did a great job with everything and provided regular updates. I felt reassured about being away and leaving him in her care. I would definitely use her services again!

Laura was incredible with our fur babies. One of my cats is diabetic and requires twice daily insulin shots. Laura was very experienced with administering the medication and took such great care of our cats. I would definitely recommend Laura if you’re looking for a cat sitter. 10/10

Laura was excellent!!! I could not have asked for a better cat sitter. She was so detailed oriented and attentive. I got updates and photos at each visit, which was so wonderful. She was amazing at administering my cat’s eye medications. This is my first time using Meowtel and I will definitely be booking Laura on my next trip! 5+ stars.

It was a huge help having Laura come and check on my cat, Bundle! He instantly enjoyed her presence and she went above and beyond in making sure he was happy. She sent me photos and videos of him which was nice and I felt relieved knowing she checked on my furbaby! 10/10 would recommend.
