I'm Lauren
Cat Sitting in Silver Spring, MD
I know it can be stressful for kitties when their owner goes away, so I strive to... My name is Lauren and Im an experienced cat sitter with over 5 years cat sitting experience, and 19 years of cat ownership. I have experience with administering oral and dermal medications, maintaining special diets, older cats, and anxious kitties.
I know it can be stressful for kitties when their owner goes away, so I strive to do my best to make them feel as comfortable as possible in their absence. In addition to feeding, I also engage in brushing, petting, cuddling, and playing - whatever makes your cat feels comfy, Ill do it!
I currently have a 10 year old Maine coon mix whom I love dearly. I'd love the opportunity to do the same with you kitties!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
First, I would want to ensure that the sitter feels comfortable with the physical space itself. Are the ok with the parking situation? The layout of the house itself? Locking/unlocking of the doors, etc. Then I'd want to make sure the sitter felt comfortable with the cats themselves. Is the sitter warm and open? Are they comfortable with all cat duties? Do they have the experience level to take care of my cats? Those are most important to me.
Are you usually available during holidays?
My availability is usually wide open during the holiday season! I am available for one a day visits, multiple visits per day, and even overnights!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Work shy or anxious kitties, I let them know Im there for them, and allow them to warm up to me. I'll enter their residence calling their name and continue talking, allowing them to become comfortable with my presence. Ill also sit still, so aren't scared of my movements. For particularly anxious cats, Ill even sit on the floor and allow them to come to.me, if they wish.

Lauren was great with Izzy. She was very communicative and sent lovely pictures. I could tell and feel that my cat was being lovingly looked after when I was away. Thanks!

Silver Spring 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 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!
