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.

let me write this backwards: when I was finally back home, my cats looked at me “oh, just you, mommy…. but where is Diana?? we want Diana!!” it was so very funny! now, my heartfelt thank-you review: Diana was watching my kitties overnight, as they were never before left alone for that long, and I could not bear a thought of stressing them that much. both of my cats are shy, especially the 6,5 years old former colonial cat-on-patrol rescue. this kitty, Kuzya, after 4+ years of living with me not once let my daughter approach him closer than 6feet. ish. yet, he was playing with Diana! they both where! not just showing up, but communicating! Diana was updating me about the everything, no matter how small it was, with photos and all important details. by some magic, even my house was cleaner when I came back. but most importantly: I do. it take too many trips, but if my daughter was watching them - they were mad at me for couple of days, you know how cats attitude you :) but - they were right out, welcoming me back! and asking why I did not come with Diana!

I can't say enough good about Diana. She went well above and beyond my expectations. My cat is 7 years old and had never been left alone before. Diana treated her as she would her own pet. She provided me with daily videos and updates. I was able to enjoy a weekend away attending a wedding stress free. Diana has my very highest recommendation.

As always Diana is the best! Our girl is so painfully shy she never comes out from under the bed for Diana, but that doesn't stop Diana from making sure she's okay and sending photo's of her under the bed!! We feel so at ease knowing Diana is taking care of our Cordy!!

Diana is amazing as always. I’ve been using her for over a year now and she never fails to provide me with amazing updates. She is so gentle and loving. My cats flock towards her immediately and they always appear so calm and unbothered when I return home. I was away camping this time, and did not have good service. Not once during my trip did I feel worried. She puts my mind at ease.

Diana was absolutely wonderful and I would recommend her services to any pet owner. She is kind and calm, always punctual, and took such great care of my two kitties. I believe wholeheartedly that she is a cat whisperer - she somehow got both of my shy cats out from hiding and rolling around for pets on her first visit!! I loved getting pictures and updates from each visit. Just the best!!

Diana was absolutely amazing. She came to do a meet and greet before my vacation. Something about Diana made my cats instantly fall in love with her! She spent time socializing with them and answering any questions I had before my trip. During my trip, I felt so at ease and didn’t expierence an ounce of anxiety. Diana sent lots of pictures at every visit. She communicated with me the whole time. When I got home, my place looked exactly how I left it. Very clean and tidy. Usually when I get home from vacation I get the side eye from my cats but my cats were social and friendly. This tells me that Diana provided them with lots of love the entire time. This was my first time trusting someone with my cats and I had the greatest expierence. I recommend her to any one who is in need of a cat sitter. I know I will definitely be using her again. Diana is a ray of sunshine and she definitely will show your animals lots of love and attention.

Caring, dependable, trustworthy. Finding a special person to watch your "kids" while traveling was always a challenge. Since we've found Diana, that worry has been eliminated. She's the best!

Diana exceeded our expectations! We knew our girls were in good hands when we met Diana. She sent us daily updates and pictures. And much to our astonishment and delight, Diana even got to see and pet our super shy cats! We've already book Diana for our next trip! It's a great feeling to be able to travel and know your pets are safe and so well taken care of. Thank you Diana!

Diana is an amazing sitter!! My 3 kitties absolutely love her. My one wouldn't eat when we were leaving, but through love and attention, he ate for Diana the rest of the week. She is the cat whisperer and I will request her again in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Lafayette cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $28.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
