I'm Lara | Cat Sitting in New York, NY
I'm Lara, and my life has been graced with the company of cats since I can remember. I've not only been a lifelong cat owner but also a passionate advocate for their well-being. My understanding and love for these wonderful creatures deepened when I rescued a kitten named Charlie. His journey from being a timid stray to a confident, loving companion has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. As a lifelong pet owner and lover, it’s important to me that your cat feels loved and social even when you're away. I pride myself on being an expert in cat beha...

Lara's Reviews
Rachael
Lara has been a fantastic car sitter on many occasions. She truly goes above and beyond. On her last visit she helped care for and monitor one of my kitties who was having some mild urinary issues that I thought had resolved before I left. Her attention to the situation made me feel so much better about not being there myself. Lara is a true pro and we are so glad to have her help.
Rachael
Lara is so very reliable and takes the best photos and videos. She plays with the girls and gives them sweet pets. They absolutely enjoy her company, which makes me feel assured while we’re away. She is a go-to for sure. We’re happy to have her. Thank you, Lara!
Adam
Lara was a true lifesaver during the Christmas season, providing exceptional care for Mia and Micah. Her genuine concern, attentiveness, and playful interactions with them made a significant impact. The regular updates through photos and videos kept me informed and reassured about my kitties' well-being. Without a doubt, I'll be turning to Lara for my future cat-sitting needs!
Isaiah
Lara was a fantastic catsitter and I couldn't recommend her enough. She helped me out somewhat last minute to take care of my kitties over the holiday season, and sent detailed daily updates with pictures and videos. My cats loved her and she took meticulous care of them!
Crystal
Lara is amazing! the updates and pictures she provided were a joy to my day- I’m so glad Skelly was well taken care of. Words cannot express how thankful I am that Lara was able to care for Skelly during the holidays. I came back to a happy cat 🫶🏽 Well definitely love for Lara to care for Skelly in the future (:

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
