I was born a crazy cat lady! I have had cats my whole life! At one time, my home consisted of horses, goats, chickens and of course cats! Lots of cats! But I’m currently pet less for the first time in my life and will spoil your babies as if they were my own.

I have over 15 years of vet tech, shelter and rescue experience. I can clip nails, give pills, injections or fluids, if needed. I also specialize in cat behavior, training and reiki. I live in Sussex County, NJ and will treat your babies as they were my own! Did I say that already?! LOL! It's true!

Learn More About Diana

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have had cats my whole life, I was a vet tech for over 10 years.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Right now, I can’t have cats of my own so it’s really great to love on a kitty.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I love all of them so much, but any that remind me of my babies always tug at my heart!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I lost my baby, Scout, 6 years ago and her brother, Harley, one week after her. Because I’m retired and travel, we decided not to add to our family, for now.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Definitely book through Meowtel because they have a very thorough interview process and background check.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

I will insure that I do everything to make the cat parent feel confident and comfortable leaving their baby with me. I always send videos, pictures and updates on each visit so they now what’s going on every day they are away.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I always want to put eyes on a kitty, especially the shy ones. First thing I do is check on the kitty and that’s the last thing I do too!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Typically yes. Thanksgiving can be a little dodgy depending on the year. But my calendar is typically updated to reflect the days that I’m available.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love the catnip stuffed cigars and bananas. My next favorite is the wand with interchangeable toys and lastly the laser dot! lol!

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

I talk softly, do lots of kitty eye blinks and I like to just sit in the same room with them and read to them so they get used to my voice and presence in a non threatening way.

There could not possibly be a cat lady more loving and gentle than Diana! Far beyond her much appreciated knowledge of cat care, Diana, as a vet tech, has also a gift for conveying love, and for generating trust. Diana so diligently, lovingly, cares for my sweet son, Roy, as she expertly tackles his stubborn mats. Diana’s loving empathetic care is clearly evidenced as she tackled Harley’s most recent episode of raging poopy butt. I am ever grateful for all of her kind, loving support!

I am ever so grateful for all of Diana’s kind, gracious help. Diana truly gives of herself, completely, to the loving care of my sweet cats. As I have recently had a total shoulder replacement, I especially appreciate her kind help with the cleaning of each of my four heavy (each contains 25 pounds of cat litter!) litter boxes. Diana’s gentle loving grooming of my sweet Roy, whose wooly coat is especially prone to mats, is beyond compare!

Diana was an amazing cat sitter and she put my mind at ease leaving my baby for the weekend. She was professional, prompt, and a great communicator. She sent videos and pictures every time she was at my apartment with updates. My cat (who is usually shy around people she doesn’t know) loved her! I highly recommend Diana!

The moment I met Diana and saw how Shiloh climbed into her lap , I knew I found my cats friend. She is so kind and kept me informed about Shiloh throughout my trip. I truly never felt this calm leaving my cat before as he is a senior , but I was so chill knowing he was being taken care of by Diana. I highly recommend her.

Diana was fantastic. sent us videos and updates daily. By the end of our trip our extremely shy cat was as friendly with her as she is with us.

Diana went above and beyond for my cat while I was away. Her expertise helped me figure out why my cat was doing certain behaviors and now I have added more fiber to her diet. She loves animals and I fully trust her with my cat. Can’t recommend her enough!

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.

Lafayette cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $32.00. 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!
