We are over the moon to have found Lara! Our cat is 13 years young. We’ve had a lot of catsitters through the years. Lara is top tier!

Our five kitties have become so comfortable with Lara - even the shy few come right out when they know it’s her. Thank you Lara.

Lara was a great cat sitter! She was kind, flexible, communicative, and detail-oriented. All the anxiety I had from being away from my cat was made better by the daily messages, updates, and cute photos from Lara. I really loved having her as my cat sitter and appreciated how much she cared. Both myself and my kitty loved Lara and will book with her again!

I've used multiple people to sit for my cats both here on Meowtel and elsewhere and yet I've never seen any of them get my formerly street cats to engage with them as much as Lara did. She's amazing without being intrusive to their space.

It was my first time leaving our senior cat alone for a few days. We usually board him. He was the same cranky cat when we got home as he always is! Lara was a GREAT playmate, super communicative, our cat snuggled her like she was an old friend. Such peace of mind! Will definitely book Lara again.

Lara is amazing with our five kitties - they love her and we do too!

Lara did a great job - my cats immediately trusted her. She sent detailed updates and left my place sparkling clean!

Lara has been such a great sitter for our cat Pearl while we’ve been away! She takes great care to play with Pearl and really knows how to make Pearl feel content and relaxed. It’s so nice knowing our kitty is in good hands!

Laura always goes above and beyond when taking care of our cat Pearl! She is really attuned to Pearl’s quirky mannerisms and is so good at getting her to come out of her shell. Thanks again Laura!

Trip planning is much less stressful knowing Lara will be taking care of our two kitties. With their medication treatment, an asthma inhaler, the kitties need someone both competent and kind to administer their morning puff routine. Lara is a master and most decidedly a cat whisperer. If our two fluffies could talk, I’m pretty sure they’d be saying- now where has Lara disappeared to. please get her back here ASAP. Lara is basically all around awesome!!!

Lara is great! This was our second time having her sit and we'll continue to have her back.

Laura did a great job taking care of our fussy cat Pearl and was even able to coax her out of her shell! She even went above and beyond when ants decided to invade while we where away, and provided detailed updates with photos and videos.

Lara was great with our two cats. They have complicated feedings which she mastered and she cleaned up after my puker cat did his thing. She sent great updates with lots of photos and was very responsive. Even my shy kitty warmed up to her. I'm going to book her again for next month!

Our two kitties have totally different personalities, yet they each get anxious while we are not with them. Lara did everything we asked of her and brought a warm and calming presence during our absence. We are very pleased.

Lara cared for our five kitty boys - she won over even our most skittish with patience and love. (One of them has never before come out of hiding whilst a sitter or guest is over, and Lara had him accepting treats and eating his meals like normal after just a few days.) Lara very clearly loves and understands cats (all personalities) and we felt so wonderful knowing our boys were with her whilst we were away. Thank you Lara!

Lara is the perfect cat sitter! I truly could not ask for someone more intuitive with cats who is a great communicator and e extremely conscientious. Lara is just wonderful in all ways!

Lara was great! My kittos are shy as they are formerly feral and it usually takes a long time for them to get used to new people. Yet Lara was able to get close to one of them fairly quickly. Updates regularly, good photos and everything handled well and within the windows of time that I requested. Will be taking advantage of her great kitto care skills again soon!

Lara was wonderful with Jasper and gave him the company and playtime he really needs when we are away. Lara sent multiple photos and checked in with me on a potential concern with his health, which was much appreciated. I definitely recommend Lara to look after your cats and would love her to come back to look after Jasper next time we are away.

Lara was amazing! she was scheduled to cat sit for us during the week of terrible snow and ice this winter and she still came every day and made sure that the cats were taken care of. She also sent very long and detailed updates every day.

Lara was wonderful to work with! Great communication and updates, super helpful with cleaning up unexpected messes that our kitties made, and spoiled them with excellent play time. Would definitely recommend.

Lara was so amazing with our two cats! We booked her for two whole weeks and she provided daily updates with pictures/videos. Our cats took to her right away and she was even able to teach one of them to give her a "high five" for a treat (which we didn't know our cat could do)! Lara even offered to get our mail and water plants while we were away, which was a big help! We returned to two very happy and healthy cats. Would highly recommend Lara!

Lara was incredible with our senior kitty. She was super responsive, gave us updates all the time, and made sure Koa was as happy as could be.

Lara did a phenomenal job taking care of my cat, Cassie. Cassie had gotten very sick the week before and had started recovering but needed three different types of medications administered in different ways. Lara was easily able to handle that for the 5 days I was away with no issues. I would highly recommend Lara to anyone looking for a detail-oriented, compassionate, and very skilled catsitter.

Lara was a great pet sitter for our shy kitty Pearl! She was very patient and even got her to play a little.

Lara was the best cat sitter we have ever had. Every day, she sent us pictures and a detailed description of her time here. When we got back, the place and cat box were clean and our cats were happy and content. We will definitely use Lara again.

Lara was absolutely fantastic with our cat, Rocco! She sent fun photos and videos, gave us great updates, and took very good care of our lil guy! i would highly reccomend!

Lara is all around a fantastic cat sitter. Our two kitties, as cute and fun as they are, need an inhaler given 2x a day. With confidence, we knew that Lara would administer the meds correctly with her gentle touch. We highly recommend Lara as your next cat sitter!!! We’re 100% happy with Lara and her amazing attention to detail. Her many photos and videos provided a reassurance that our cats and our home were in the best of hands.

Lara was very responsive and took great care of our cats over the weekend. Would definitely book again!

Lara did a great job giving my kitty cuddles and playtime. Her photos and videos were great!
