Learn More About Laura
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love getting to meet a variety of felines—each one is totally unique in personality and appearance! 🌟 I also enjoy getting to know the owners and setting their minds at ease while they are out of town.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
After I review and accept their booking request, we communicate on the app to find a time for the meet and greet. 🤝 Then the best part: I get to meet their kitties! 😺 I also come prepared with questions, take notes, and try the key before I leave. ✅
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I was a timid and anxious kid, so I have a special place in my heart for cats with these qualities 🩷 I respect the cat’s boundaries and let them initiate any interactions. When we do interact, I read their body language, get on their level, and let them sniff my hand if they approach. If they don’t interact with me, then I pay attention to their environment (litter box, toys, food and water, etc.) to gather clues about what they’ve been up to.

Every aspect of Laura's care for my new kitten went so well and her daily visits gave me a real sense of relief that he was getting lots of attention and love. Our meet and greet went well and she was diligent about cleaning up little pukes he had (still getting his feeding times right with new auto feeder!). Laura sent daily photos videos and evidence of cleaned litter box and feeder as well as the cutest pictures of my kitten! I really appreciate the care she provided and highly recommend her (and I also work for Meowtel😊and learned a lot from her manner). My return home was great due to her care of the accidents, feeding station and litter area. She also moved a dangerous plant I had overlooked and I am super grateful for that!

Laura has now cat-sitted for me twice and my cats absolutely adore her. She always updates me with videos and photos of my boys and communicates when all requested extra tasks are done. She was super helpful in accommodating a last minute request from me that gave me such ease while I was out of town. I would recommend Laura to anyone - she is amazing!

I highly recommend Laura! She is a *top-notch* cat sitter. My kitty Boo Boo was so happy the entire time Laura was sitting. Laura gave so much love and attention to her! She did a week of overnights with Boo Boo and was fantastic with sending photos, videos and proactive updates about Boo Boo the entire time. She asked great questions too, to clarify anything she was unsure of. I especially cherish the bond they had and how gentle and loving Laura is toward cats. Immediately when Laura came to do the meet and greet, Boo Boo went up to her hand 🫶🏼 She has a special way with cats! Laura is beyond thoughtful and pays great attention to detail and instructions. She took great care of my space and plants, too. I came home to a happy kitty, and my home tidy/clean the way I left it. I already booked Laura for another stay. Thank you times a million, Laura! :) I appreciate you so much.

Thank you so much, Melissa! 😻 I miss Boo Boo already and can’t wait to care for her again soon!

Laura was great with Cooper! He is not always his best when we travel and she made sure to give him his space and take her time to build trust with him. During the meet and greet she asked great questions and listened to all the things he enjoys. We loved that she tried to incorporate all his favorites into her visits. She communicates well, provides lots of detail and made things easy!

Thank you, Holly! 😺 It was a privilege to look after Cooper, and I look forward to continuing to build a relationship with him!

Laura was able to check on Pancho again in an almost last minute reservation. She's a great photographer too! She takes much better pictures than I do, I love that she shares them and gives excellent reports on how much he eats and a clean litter box!

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.

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.
Asheville 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 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!

Third time Laura has taken care of my kitty! Highly recommend her 😊 Please read my other reviews, but I forgot to mention I also really appreciate that she follows my "no shoes" rules in my place! I follow it strictly for health reasons for my kitty and me, and I appreciate that she takes it seriously (oftentimes others do not). Such an top-notch sitter! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Laura was amazing! She made my anxious black cat, El Gato feel safe and supported while I was away for a week on business. She even went above and beyond with cuddles for my outgoing Maine Coone, Layla Ali, playtime, thoughtful care, and kept me updated with photos of my furbabies. Highly recommend!
Response from Laura
You’re so welcome, Bekah! 🤗 I loved working with you and getting to know these two 💕

This was my first time booking with Meowtel, and Laura did not disappoint! She sent me tons of photos and videos of my two boys and gave my one baby tons of ice cubes (his favorite). My older cat, who tends to be a bit more shy, walked right up to her and he NEVER does that! I was very satisfied with Laura's care and would happily book her again!!
Response from Laura
Thanks a bunch, Taylor! I had so much fun with Rudy and Winston, and it means a lot that sweet and shy Rudy warmed up to me right away <3

Laura was fantastic from the prep and meet & greet, all the way through each and every visit. Kaz clearly had a blast while we were gone, and Laura sent us plenty of pictures and updates. She really treated both of our home and cat with the utmost care and thoughtfulness. We (and especially Kaz) can’t wait to have her back!

Thanks so much, Devon! I so enjoyed meeting y'all and Kaz, and I can't wait to hang out with him again! :)

I want to rave about Laura and say that she has the soft touch for cats, understands cat behavior and the idiosyncrasies of "cat ladies", is very organized and responsive, and a delight to work with .....but I am afraid that if this word gets out, I will have to share her with other often traveling cat lovers--and I want her all to myself! Seriously, working with Laura is a delight and I am confident that my cats are her #1 priority and receiving lots of love and attention when she is taking care of them! I already booked another week + overnights with her.
Response from Laura
From one cat lady to another, thank you, Jan! 😺❤️ It was my pleasure, and I look forward to the future visits!

Laura is the answer to “leaving your kitty anxiety!” She takes great care of your babies and keeps a daily video diary so you can see your fur babies while away. Laura is total piece of mind wrapped in kindness and professionalism.

Laura is a kitty “Nana” versus a kitty “nanny” and the difference is huge. Nana Laura allows you to relax, recharge, take care of business without wondering or worrying about your babies. She not only cares for your babies, she loves on them. And that is true peace of mind. I’m new to Asheville and I’m so happy I found Laura. I still don’t have a dentist, but my babies are cared for and loved on!
Response from Laura
Thank you, Tina! I love being Ollie and Vanya's Nana Laura! 😻

I appreciate this, Emilie! It was a pleasure meeting you and caring for your three cuties. Looking forward to more fun with them the next time you're out of town 😺

This is my 2nd sit with Laura, and I will keep booking her again and again! The great experience is consistent with her each time she comes in to care for my kitty. It's such a comfort to know such a caring and responsible person is staying at my place and looking after my baby. Each time I come home, my kitty seems so happy and care-free! I really think she loves spending time with Laura. :) I'm loving being able to go away without a worry in the world about my kitty or my home. Thank you again, Laura, for such wonderful care of my baby and my home. I appreciate you endlessly!

Thank you for trusting me to care for your home and your baby Boo Boo 😻 Can't wait to see you both again soon! 🎄

Laura has taken care of my kitty several times, and I'm always at my most relaxed when she's the sitter! She is such a caring, goodhearted person in addition to being a detail-oriented cat sitter.

I've lost track of how many times Laura has sat for my kitty, but she never ceases to amaze me with her level of care and communication. The purpose of my trip was a particularly emotional one, and she made it so that I could just be worry free about my kitty and home and focus on the trip to make the most of it, being present in the moment. Thank you again, Laura!
