Cat's Meow Cat Sitting By Lauren

I'm Lauren

Cat Sitting in Syracuse, NY

Hi, I'm Lauren and I love cats! I have had cats my whole life and currently have two fur babies: Lucy and Charlie. Lucy is an 13 year old, beautiful long haired grey and white diva who's the boss of the house! She is friendly and loves people. Charlie is afraid of his own shadow, but he's a super sweet boy once he gets to know you. Lucy is not always nice to him. They make me laugh every day with their crazy antics! Every cat I have ever known has a very unique and distinct personality. That's the best thing about cats! Anyone who says they don't like cats has never met the right cat. I can't imagine not having a cat or two, as they really make our house a home... Hi, I'm Lauren and I love cats! I have had cats my whole life and currently have two fur babies: Lucy and Charlie.

Every cat I have ever known has a very unique and distinct personality. That's the best thing about cats! Anyone who says they don't like cats has never met the right cat. I can't imagine not having a cat or two, as they really make our house a home. What's not to love?!

I work for an insurance company as an underwriter, and we are also Airbnb super hosts, with two private bedrooms in our home. Airbnb has been a great experience, and Lucy enjoys meeting the guests. Charlie mostly just hides in the basement!

We live in the Strathmore neighborhood of Syracuse (west side) I would prefer to work with clients within 10 miles or so (Camillus, Onondaga hill, Liverpool, downtown Syracuse, etc.) if you are not sure if I can service your area, just ask! I am very flexible with times and days. I am usually at home around major holidays, so I can be available then as well.

I am happy to get mail, water plants and other minor household chores, in addition to the cat related tasks.

I am fully vaccinated and boosted, and take Covid-19 very seriously. I will wear a mask whenever in your home if you desire and frequently wash my hands, including before and after interacting with your cats.

I look forward to meeting you and your kitties and caring for them as if they were my own!

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

I have been a sitter with Meowtel since October 2022. Before i knew about Meowtel, I previously had several "private clients" that I really enjoyed which is why I knew I would enjoy Meowtel as well.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My first Meowtel client had 3 cats. I really got to know "the boys" well as I sat for them regularly. They knew me and looked forward to my visits (I think anyway, it's tough to tell with cats!😊) unfortunately their mom recently moved away so I don't get to see them anymore.😿 They will always be my favorites!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two kitties: Lucy and Charlie. They are both about 12 years old. Lucy is beautiful, and she knows it. She is a bit of a diva, and is the boss of the house. She is very mean to Charlie. He is scared of anything and everything.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am almost always available during holidays, including Thanksgiving, Christmas etc.

Lauren did a fantastic job caring for our two cats! It was our first time using Meowtel and we were so happy with our experience! Lauren was kind, professional, caring, and thorough. I also appreciated the photo updates — it was so reassuring to see my cats happy while I was away. Highly recommend!

Lauren definitely went way beyond what her job outlined. Several incidents in my apartment while I was away. She handled them and still found the energy to spoil my cat with play time. She kept me informed with text and pictures the entire time. I will certainly recommend your service to everyone.

Again, Lauren is great! easy to communicate with, good with all four cats, who have very different personalities. Lauren feeds, waters, plays, scoops litter- even brings in the mail. there is a huge difference in their behavior when we get home, as opposed to leaving them alone overnight with food and water. highly recommend!

We will definitely hire again! We were really worried trusting a stranger to look over our 3 kitties while on vacation but Lauren did a really good job and when we came home everything was in order and kitties were happy. We received updates daily and she was very responsive and sent pictures of the kitties.

Lauren is the absolute best! She took great care of our girls, sent fun pics and kept us updated. She even got our grumpy girl to come out and play! We are pretty sure they were looking for her yesterday evening. Will absolutely book again.

Another great cat sitting job by Lauren! All 4 cats have really warmed up to her. Plus, she brought in mail and watered our garden! Lauren is proactive with letting us know how the cats are doing, and she responds right away to any messages. We'll definitely hire her again!

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.

Syracuse 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!
