Cat Sitting in Asheville, NC

Hi! I’m Laura, and I’ve loved cats for as long as I can remember! 😸There’s nothing better than playing with and caring for such intelligent and fascinating (and often hilarious!) creatures 🥰 I am gentle and respect every cat’s individual boundaries and personality.

I’m Laura, and I’ve loved cats for as long as I can remember! 😸There’s nothing better than playing with and caring for such intelligent and fascinating (and often hilarious!) creatures 🥰 I am gentle and respect every cat’s individual boundaries and personality. I’m highly organized and communicative, so you can enjoy your time away from home without worrying. I foster kitties at home (through Asheville Humane Society) in addition to caring for Meowtel clients. My family lives nearby, so I am available most holidays 🎄 Outside of cat-sitting, I am a writer and editor who enjoys reading, walking, and learning languages 📚 I would love to meet you and your beloved furry friend(s)!

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.

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!

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.
  • Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% 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!
