Learn More About Lauren
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
What I enjoy most about cat sitting is the opportunity to build a bond of trust with both the cat and their owner. I know firsthand how important it is to find a reliable, caring sitter—having been in that situation myself. The peace of mind that comes from knowing your cat is in good hands means everything, and I take pride in providing that for my clients. Whether it’s keeping your cat’s routine consistent or offering them comfort and companionship, I genuinely love making each visit as smooth and stress-free as possible.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
When working with a new cat parent, I prefer to start with an in-person meet and greet. This allows me to get to know the cat, understand their personality, and discuss any special care instructions, including medications or dietary needs. I also like to learn about their routine, favorite activities, and how they typically respond to new people. During the meeting, I ensure all necessary supplies are in place and confirm emergency contacts and vet information. Once the visit begins, I follow the routine, provide updates, and maintain clear communication to ensure both the cat and owner feel comfortable and secure.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
When caring for cats that are particularly timid or anxious, I approach them with patience and understanding. I take time to allow them to come to me on their own terms, never forcing interaction. I keep my movements slow and calm, speaking softly to avoid startling them. Just like my own cat, who can be a bit shy, I understand the importance of creating a safe and familiar environment. I also ensure that their routine is maintained to minimize stress. With consistent, gentle care, I work to build trust, offering affection and space as needed, while keeping their comfort a top priority.

Lauren is truly in a league of her own when it comes to pet care. As a fellow owner of special needs cats, she brought an immediate level of understanding and intuition to my home that is so hard to find. She completely respected the specific needs, sensitivities, and the delicate process of building trust with my babies, making them feel safe while I was away. Her updates were thorough and thoughtful, giving me total peace of mind. I’m so grateful to have found someone who treats my cats with such specialized care—I will definitely be booking her again!

Lauren was amazing. I have 2 shy kitties who have a hard time trusting new people. But Lauren easily made friends with my boys which made me feel like they were in good hands while I was away. 10/10 would hire again.

Lauren was great -- met up early, she got the lay of the land, and I felt comfortable from the start. She sent lots of fun pictures and generally things were just peachy! Good communication, reliable.

Lauren was great and took great care of our furbabies. She is extremely professional and was accommodating to our kitties schedules and eating routines. My husband and I were away for a week and Lauren would regularly provide updates which took any concerns I had away.

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.
Wilmington cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $23.00. 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!
