I'm Lynn
Cat Sitting in Columbus, OH
My name is Lynn, and I’ve been called a cat whisperer my whole life!
As someone who grew up with cats, I’ve always found a close bond between them and myself. A lot of people call me a cat whisperer since I have a lifelong history of winning the affection of every cat I’ve ever met - even the shy and “standoffish” ones!
I have 10+ years of experience with administering medication - oral, topical, injection, subQ, etc - and I’ve fostered bottle babies, so I love working with kitties of all ages and with all types of... Hi!

As someone who grew up with cats, I’ve always found a close bond between them and myself. A lot of people call me a cat whisperer since I have a lifelong history of winning the affection of every cat I’ve ever met - even the shy and “standoffish” ones!
I have 10+ years of experience with administering medication - oral, topical, injection, subQ, etc - and I’ve fostered bottle babies, so I love working with kitties of all ages and with all types of needs!
While cat sitting, I always bring in any mail and packages (if accessible) and water any plants, but I’m also happy to help attend to any other chores while you’re away! (Plus I’m a semi-professional photographer, so you can be sure I’ll send you lots of great pictures of your kitty!)
In my spare time, I love to play piano, make art, and play video games, but I mostly love to hang out with my three rescued boys - Xylo, Bongo, and Opie. I’ve taught all three of them to do lots of tricks, and my current project is teaching them to jump through a hula hoop!
Thank you for considering me to be your cat sitter! If you have any questions about me or my availability, please don’t hesitate to message me. I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby(or fur babies)!
Learn More About Lynn
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I’ve had cats my whole life, and I’ve been cat sitting since I was 8. My extended family would ask me to watch their kitties when I was younger, and I’ve been professionally sitting for about 6 years now!
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love playing with cats of course, but I also know firsthand how important that peace of mind is when you’re away from home. I’m happy to ensure that your kitties and home are being taken care of!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have three rescued boys - Xylo, Bongo, and Opie. Xylo and Bongo are very social and love meeting new people, and Opie is a little more reserved. They’re all very food motivated, so I’ve taught them lots of tricks!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
No question is a silly question! I’m more than happy to answer any and all questions to help put your mind at ease. I know trusting someone to look after your fur baby can be stressful, so I’m happy to help make it an easy and pain-free process in any way that I can!
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes! I am available for most holidays. If you’re looking for any specific holidays, please see my availability calendar or feel free to send me a message!
What is your favorite cat toy?
My favorite cat toy is any string on a stick. It may seem simple, but it’s one of the most interactive toys you can use with a kitty, and I have yet to meet a cat who doesn’t love it!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I definitely specialize in sitting for timid, anxious kitties! The most important thing for me is that your cat feels safe with me in their space. At the meet and greet, I like to squat or sit down across the room and hold out my hand for them to approach if they want to. And they may not want to sniff me, but that’s okay! I’ll never force an interaction, but I find that skittish kitties feel safer when a new person appears smaller and nonthreatening. So even if they don’t want to meet me or come out while I’m there, they’ll never feel threatened by my presence.

Lynn is phenomenal-she is super responsive and truly makes you feel like your kitties are in good hands while you are away, including sending updates and pictures! My fur babies loved her immediately and they seemed to continue bonding each day-Lynn is even teaching one of my kitties to sit, spin and other tricks using treats! As a cat mom herself, Lynn is super familiar with kitty behavior and, a huge perk for me, with Litter Robots, which any kitty owner with one can usually attest can be finicky. We can’t wait to have Lynn come visit during another upcoming trip soon!!

We have a very shy/anxious 2yr old cat and a playful 1yr old cat that we were worried about leaving. Sophia needs medication and doesn't like most people but when Lynn came by for the meet and greet, she got down to their level and was amazing! I love that she has cats of her own and understands Sophia just needs to "vet" you before giving any love or attention. She went above and beyond and made this anxious cat mom a lot more at ease on vacation.

Lynn was awesome in keeping us informed of our kitties with really cute photos of each cat every time she visited. We also really appreciated that she visited us ahead of our reservation to get to know all the cats and to make sure she knew their routines. We're so glad we trusted her to take care of everyone!

Lynn was the best thing that could’ve happened to our fur family. We were going away for a long trip, and really didn’t like the idea of putting our three kittens away in a cage for the days we were gone. I have heard about Meowtel through their ads , and with a quick search found Lynn who was available in the area. Lynn’s response was very quick, came out to meet our kittens in person, and during the time we were gone, took exceptional care of our babies. She gave thorough updates, and took amazing photos of them to let us know how they were doing. The next time we are out of town, I will be asking Lynn for help, no doubt. I will recommend her to any cat owners I know!

Lynn did a fantastic job. I forgot to leave food for my cat on the day I left and Lynn was able to come and feed him even though she was not scheduled that day. She is a lifesaver!

Lynn did a great job taking care of Dusty! We got daily updates with photos. Everything was as we expected it to be on our return. We'd certainly consider hiring Lynn again when we travel.

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.
Columbus 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!

Lynn did a marvelous job. The cats spoke very highly of her after we got home, and she was very attentive to them and to the house. Our cats do not need medicine but different ones eat different things and she managed this very well. We will hope to work with her again.

Lynn is amazing!!! My kitties absolutely adored her. I get so sad leaving my kitties when I go on trips, but Lynn made the process so much easier and put my mind at ease. She sent such great updates and so many photos that I looked forward to each day I was gone. She is very detailed and didn't miss a beat. Will absolutely be using her again when I'm out of town!

This is the third time Lynn cat-sat for us and she has been consistently amazing. She’s reliable and responsible, and provides loving care for our three cats. We wouldn’t have been able to schedule our vacations if it weren’t for her. We are so grateful for her!

My cat LOVES Lynn! I’m so happy and relieved to have a reliable and caring cat sitter. When I’m traveling, Lynn sends updates and pictures, both of which bring me comfort and joy! I’ve had several cat sitters throughout the years, and would hire Lynn again without a moment’s hesitation.

I have never left my cat Waldo for more than a week and it's been a year since I've even done that. Because of Lynn and how trustworthy she is, I was able to go on a two week road trip and never once worry about Waldo. Lynn was so easy to make arrangements with and was super chill about Waldo and my particular needs. She understood what it was like for cat guardians to be away from their babies for a long period of time. Waldo was totally taken care of and I received regular updates and photos from Lynn to show that he was happy and playing without me there. I could not have taken this vacation without her and I highly recommend hiring Lynn and Meowtel!

This was our first pet sitter and we are so thankful we selected Lynn. She was extremely sweet and amazing through the entire experience. She developed a bond with our kitties and even taught them some new tricks along the way. I would definitely recommend Lynn to anyone looking for care. She sent great updates, sent amazing photos and most of all the kitties loved her!

When my other cat sitters moved away I didn’t know what to do. I searched for area cat sitters and found Meowtel. I’m so glad we found Lynn. She instantly connected with my cats. We loved the pictures and updates. We’ll definitely reach out to Lynn when we go out of town again.
