I'm Laura
Cat Sitting in Asbury Park, NJ
Aside from the usual tasks like feedin... I love cats and am ready to meet your soft bestie wherever he or she is right now. I take whatever cues your cat sends and respect them. It’s all about keeping your cat comfortable, full, clean and safe while you’re gone. And if we become friends, that’s even better!
Aside from the usual tasks like feeding, watering and scooping, I like to keep things very calm. My style is based on gently winning trust with new kitty friends and letting them come to me rather than forcing interactions. As a longtime cat mom, rescue volunteer and friend to several neighborhood cats, I find this approach to be most effective.
Learn More About Laura
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two indoor cats. They are sisters named Bean and Nugget! Each has her own personality, of course, but they are both sweet, confident, talkative and full of love. Beanie loves food, hugs and meeting new people. Nugget loves Greenies, cuddling in bed, sun puddles and chirping at birds. I recently adopted two Backyard Buddies from the Monmouth County SPCA. They love lounging on my deck, come every morning and evening for food, and have their own special outdoor shelter. They're orange and white boys named Kohrs and Custard!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Look for someone who has cats of her own. People involved with rescue groups are particularly compassionate and dedicated. I also think it’s a good idea to choose someone very local who can easily accommodate your schedule.
What is your favorite cat toy?
I love watching cats play with little stuffed mice, birds or other critters, especially with catnip in them. But the best interactive toys are wands! My kitties love a rainbow colored snake attached to a wand. They go crazy for it whether I slide it along the floor or hold it up for them to jump for!

Our cat Dani absolutely loved Laura! Dani is usually timid and shy, but quickly made herself comfortable on Laura’s lap shortly after she arrived. Fast communication, and extremely sweet and patient with our cat. We couldn’t recommend Laura enough! Can’t wait to use her again in the future!

I have been volunteering with Laura at Happy Homes Rescue for a few years now. She does a great job taking care of the cats and really has fun interacting with them. She always takes note of their individual personalities and loves them for who they are even when they’re scared or grumpy.

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.
Asbury Park cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!
