I'm Lauren
Cat Sitting in Grosse Pointe, MI
I have extensive experience with cats and always treat them like my own. I have received hand-written cards and gifts from cat owners thanking me immensely for how much love I showed their babies... I have 20 years of cat care experience including volunteering at a couple animal shelters, working at a couple animal hospitals which included tending to cats being boarded for medical and non-medical reasons, and caring for pets on a couple other apps with a combined total of over 635 Five Star reviews. I also have been caring for my own cat, Lexie, for 19 years. I would have loved to adopt more kitties, but Lexie is the queen of the home, and she vetoed that idea 😺. I respect her wishes to be the only child!
I have extensive experience with cats and always treat them like my own. I have received hand-written cards and gifts from cat owners thanking me immensely for how much love I showed their babies. I am very responsible and get a lot of praise for great communication and showing up on time. I also have been praised for how I allowed shy cats to feel safe and come out of their shell. I've been called a "Cat Whisperer" on a number of occasions. Over the years, I have learned a number of techniques to create a calm space where the kitty can thrive. When I previously worked at a VCA animal hospital, I was proudly bestowed the title "Cat Champion"!
Every kitty has a different personality with different wants and needs, and I will meet them where they're at. I customize my interactions to suit each feline friend. If your kitty wants to listen to me tell stories while they hide in a closet, that works! If they want to play soccer, I'm game! If they want to sit on my lap and get pets the whole time, happy to oblige! 😺

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
Building relationships with both the cats and the parents. Some of the most fulfilling moments are when a cat goes from hiding for days (after the parent set expectations that I might not see their cat the whole time), to the kitty loving up on me or playing with a toy. It melts my heart! And I love when a Velcro kitty greets me at the door with a big MEOW looking for some affection. I will shower them with TLC!
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
Not that I have favorites. But if I did... it would be Edward. A dignified name for a dignified cat. He was an older gentleman who was a total sweetheart and cool as a cucumber. It's not too often you meet a kitty who wants to be held in a recumbent position, but that was Edward! First thing I'd do when I arrived was give him a treat. Then I'd administer his inhaler medication. Then more treats for being so patient taking the med, and then he wanted nothing more than to cuddle up on the couch and watch Emily in Paris. He was the best cat cuddle buddy I've had so far. Like having a weighted blanket that purrs, makes muffins, and gives kisses! 😍
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
I would recommend the customer put up pet cameras to ensure the sitter is staying during the scheduled time, meeting the cat care expectations, etc. I have heard too many anecdotes of other cat sitters who basically are in and out. They put out food, maybe clean the box, and that's it. Or they arrive extremely late for the cat's medication dose. Or they stay for the designated time, but they're on their phone ignoring the cat most of the time. Makes me upset, especially for the social cats needing attention and affection. I encourage cameras because then you can see how long I stay and that I'm truly present and focused on your kitty. Feel free to tune in live! Trust is earned from both the pet and parent, and I want to put your mind at ease.

Grosse Pointe cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!
