Cats have always been a huge part of my life from a very young age. I’ve always felt very connected to them, and find them a calming presence in my life, so the more, the better! I am currently owned by a calico kitty named Callie, who is 13 years old. I’ve had her since she was a baby and I don’t know what I would do without her! I also had an orange tabby named Maynard, who I lost in 2022 at the age of 13 to cancer. He was the best boy and I miss him immensely.

I have a lot of cat experience, including work experience in a feline only vet clinic, volunteering in a cat shelter and of course, cat sitting. I am very comfortable with all aspects of cat care! Outside of cat sitting, I work in the environmental science field, mostly seasonally, and have worked with everything from small mammals, to birds, to rabbits! I absolutely adore my work and I can’t imagine doing anything else.

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

I have always been the go to person for my family’s cat sitting needs and have been known as a cat lover since I was a kid! I signed up with Meowtel in 2021 because I was super excited to find a platform that focused solely on cats and haven’t looked back since!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Currently I have Callie, who is the queen of the house, as she should be. She is the cat that adamantly picked me, and I am so happy she did! I have had her since she was 4 months old and she is the love of my life ❤️

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Shy kitties are my absolute favorite-it is such a joy to watch them warm up on their own terms. Typically, I let them come to me on their terms and go very slowly. I often will sit and talk to them and leave some treats in their hiding area, so they associate me with being friendly and a source of food!

Lena was awesome! She took great care of both of my cats, who need daily medication, and handled everything like the professional she is. She sent daily updates, was really attentive, and you could tell she genuinely cares. I felt completely at ease knowing my cats were in such trustworthy hands. I’ll definitely be using her again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter.

Lena is the absolute best. she is super reliable, provides detailed updates and gives my cats tons of attention. She goes above and beyond, whether it’s cleaning up mouse guts after our indoor cat managed to hunt or taking our care of our elderly cat’s accidents outside the litter box.

Lena was amazing and a total professional. When she would check on the kitties she always sent multiple pictures and updates on each cat. You can tell she's great with cats and the kitties felt comfortable in her presence. I definitely would use her services again and I highly recommend her.

Lena took amazing care of Sparky. After feeding him and attending to the litterbox, she sat down for his favorite thing - brushing. Lena texted me daily with their activities and included several photos and a video. Sparky really loved having Lena caring for him, and everything was spotless when I returned home after almost a month away. Thank you, Lena!

Lena was very communicative throughout the whole process. She was very respectful and asked lots of questions before the reservation. She did an excellent job providing stimulation/playtime for my active cat during the reservation and sent lots of adorable pictures. Overall, a great experience.

Lena was wonderful! Both my cats, that can be quite shy, felt safe enough to come out while she was there rather than hide. She definitely made them feel comfortable, and was incredibly helpful when it came to cleaning up any mess that cats made, and providing daily updates and pictures. Definitely will use her again if I need a sitter!

  • More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.

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.

Woonsocket cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!
