I'm Lauren | Cat Sitting in Grosse Pointe, MI

Hi, I’m Lu! I’m a MAJOR cat lover who has extensive experience raising and caring for cats and kittens. I currently own two amazing tortoiseshell cats named Nyla and Rye, and owned several Persian, Himalayan and Maine Coon cats growing up so I have a great understanding of how cat personalities and needs can differ between breeds! In addition to having experience with my own cats, I also have experience watching cats (and dogs) for friends and family while they were on vacation, as well as over three years of volunteer experience at the New Beginnings Animal Rescue in Royal Oak. While volunteering, I took care of and entertained cats/kittens, kept their enclosures clean and spoke with customers to recommend adoptable cats...

Learn More About Lauren

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do! I have 2 two-year-old tortoiseshell cats, their names are Nyla and Rye! They are sisters and have very different personalities; SUPER extroverted and friendly vs. more sweet and shy. I love them both so much! I also owned several cats before Nyla and Rye! Their names were Smokey, Caesar, Oliver, Demi, Dottie, Gucci, Tika, Eenie, Gus, Kirby and Luka.

What is your favorite cat toy?

My favorite cat toy has to be a feather wand for sure! I've found that the majority of cats love playing with feather wands, and I enjoy using them as well because it's a more interactive way to play with cats compared to a catnip mouse or automatic toy.

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

I like to take a much more gentle and patient approach with anxious cats. I make sure to move slowly, act calm/relaxed, and give the cat the chance to sniff me/check me out before I approach them. I have an anxious/more timid cat at home so I always act this way around her in order to keep her feeling safe and comfortable. I almost act this way around all cats as a default because I know it’s common for cats to feel anxious when they first meet someone new and want to show that they can trust me.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

If you are not fully satisfied with your sitter after the Meet & Greet or during the reservation, please call 1-844-636-9835 so we can help you re-book with a new sitter to ensure we can deliver on our purrfect hospitality promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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.
