Lori's Purrtastic Kitty Sitting

I'm Lori

Cat Sitting in Murfreesboro, TN

Hi everyone!

My name is Lori and I love all things cats (any animals actually). I have always had cats in my life since childhood. I have also had a ball python and bearded dragon as pets. I currently have 4 kitties at home, but have had up to six at a time. They are my world and I know the trepidation of having to leave them. This is why I can assure you,...
Hi everyone!

My name is Lori and I love all things cats (any animals actually). I have always had cats in my life since childhood. I have also had a ball python and bearded dragon as pets. I currently have 4 kitties at home, but have had up to six at a time. They are my world and I know the trepidation of having to leave them. This is why I can assure you, your fur babies will be well cared for while you are away. You can rest assured, they will have clean litter boxes, food/water and lots of playtime and love.

I retired after a 27 year police career and now I am a full time Instacart shopper. This allows me to make my own schedule, and be available anytime. I look forward to caring for your fur babies!

Learn More About Lori

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

I have been cat sitting for Meowtel since October 2023 and absolutely love it. Always looking to add additional clients.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy meeting new kitties, gaining their trust and playing with them. I also love to try to get good pictures and videos to send to their parents. Knowing I can make the fur baby parent smile while they are away from their babies is priceless

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have four kitties currently. My two orange boys named Sam and Dusty, and we just adopted two kittens (Mia and Jade) from Mighty Miracles Kitten Rescue in Mt Juliet.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

As a former police officer, I like to double check that all the doors are locked when I arrive and leave. I once found a client had inadvertently left their back door unlocked.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I usually bring a laser toy with me on sittings. I love to get the fur babies spinning in circles.

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

If a kitty is timid or anxious, I don’t force them to interact with me. I try to get a photograph of them each visit, but let them decide if they want to interact with me.

Lori took excellent care of our cat Blue while we were away. He has several medical conditions which makes it difficult for us to leave, but Lori gave us peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. She handled his medications without any issues and even got him to eat his prescription food, which can sometimes be a challenge when we’re gone. We came home to a clean house and a happy cat. We truly appreciate Lori’s time, attention, and care for our Blue boy and we would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet sitter.

Lori took great care of our two cats. Her communication and photos/videos made us feel so much better about being away. She spent time playing with our very active kitty to make sure she burned off her energy and gave our grumpy cat space to warm up at his own pace. We will definitely use Lori in the future!

Lori was absolutely amazing! It was our first time leaving our kittens home alone, and she not only bonded with them but made us feel like they were more at home with her! Her daily updates and photos gave us reassurance to enjoy our time away, and continued our trust in her. She also was on top of the weather changes and helped get the heat on again when it didn’t automatically turn on. Words can’t express our gratitude! We might have to plan to get away again, so our kitties can play with their new bestie sooner than later! Thank You SO MUCH Lori!

We've had Lori watch our cats several times now, and all 3 love her! Our place is always tidy when we get home, and the cat bowls are in the dishwasher loaded impeccably (lol iykyk) We always love the pictures and videos sent, we miss our babies so much when we're away so we always look forward to that. We just love Lori!

Lori is the best...I mean it! We have 3 babies that are very spoiled and have very different personalities. Our little girl is VERY timid, but the first time she took care of them, instant friends...she's never done that with anyone. My little one makes friends quickly, while my other boy is a bit more shy, and he warmed up to her as well. I'm a helicopter mom, and going out of the country, I was nervous, but having Lori around allowed me to enjoy my vacation. I can't recommend her enough!

Lori went well above and beyond to help me get my cats ready to move. I'm moving out of state and one of the things I regret is leaving behind such a trustworthy and dependable sitter. Lori has been great and my Ivan loves her.

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.

Murfreesboro cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!
