I'm Lori
Cat Sitting in Murfreesboro, TN
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 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 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.

Lori did a great job with our four cats! We are sort of helicopter parents since 3/4 of our cats are over 10 and a couple have health conditions that need management and careful attention. She did a great job keeping us updated and seeking advice when needed. We felt assured that they were being well cared for while we were away and came home to four happy, healthy kitties! We will absolutely be booking with her in the future provided she is available. :)

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!

Our kitties loved Lori. She was very attentive and sweet with them. She followed instructions, made sure they played, got treats and took medicine. Lori gave me detailed updates and cute photos daily. We had to switch feeding methods during our trip for the medicated diet and Lori was very accommodating and helpful. Lori is very timely and professional. We felt secure knowing our babies were being well taken care of and played with. Looking forward to working with her again and would recommend Lori for anyone needing a great kitty sitter!

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- 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.
Murfreesboro 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!

Lori was amazing with my two cats. They bonded with her right away, even my shy kitty who usually hides from strangers! She made sure they had plenty of food, water, and scritches. She also made it work when my litter robot kept malfunctioning. She was excellent with sending me daily updates and lots of pictures while I was away. It really put my mind at ease. I came home to happy, healthy cats. She also watered my plants even though I didn't ask. Wonderful service! I 100% recommend her for pet sitting your fur babies!!

We had a last-minute cancellation of a previously booked cat sitter and were in a bind. Lori was able to help us out very last minute, even scheduling a meet and greet with our kitties prior to our trip. She was very attentive to our instructions and even got our shy, senior girl kitty out from under the bed eventually for purrs and brushes. we will definitely use Lori‘s services again, and can’t recommend enough!

We couldn’t be more pleased with Loti’s care of our cats. We have one who is shy and nervous with new people and we’re really happy to see she didn’t hide all of the time! That speaks very highly about Lori.

This is the second time Lori has taken care of our girls, and we were able to enjoy our trip knowing they were in great hands! She sent plenty of updates and photos of them enjoying their staycation, and went above and beyond to clean up after our older girl got an upset tummy (she has a knack for getting sick on upholstery 🤦♀️). Lori will look after for your babies and shower them with affection as if they're her own!

Lori was absolutely fantastic! She took care of my cats for a week while we were on vacation and I never once worried how they were, if they were happy, etc. The pics and updates totally put my mind at ease. I ran into a huge hiccup trying to get home and asked her if there was anyway she could check on my boys one last time. It was a very last minute request to add the date, and she was able to accommodate! It was a huge relief. 11 out of 10. Highly recommend!

The reservation went exceptionally well and even before Lori we did a meet and greet. She took detailed notes of Laverne and Shirley’s feeding schedule and history. I let her know that they were rescues and been through a lot. She did a great job with being compassionate with both them. She provided pictures of my babies when visiting and detailed responses from each visit to let me know how they were doing. The next time I need to make reservations I will make them with Lori!
Jeremy

Lori is amazing and always takes such great care of our kitties! We have a very reclusive senior girl kitty who she spends special time with even trying to get matted fur out! We always feel confident, leaving them in her care and know they’re going to be looked after well!

This was my very first time using a cat sitter. I read all the reviews and decided that Lori would be the best sitter. I was so excited when the dates that I needed were available. We set up a meet and greet to go over all the details and of course to meet Dimi. I could tell that Lori was genuine and that she really took her job seriously. She sent me updates every day as well as photos. Being a cat person Lori could pick up on my cat’s mood during her visits and his eating habits. I felt that reassured that my Dimi was getting good care while I was away. I will DEFINITELY ask Lori to sit with my Dimi again. I feel lucky to have found her.

Lori was a great pet sitter! She was attentive to our concerns when we first met her. She made notes about our house and our expectations. Her daily updates were enjoyable and informative. In our conversations, it was obvious that she enjoyed spending time with our cat and that was special to us. She did a great job and it was well worth using her. Thank you.

Lori is a fantastic cat sitter! This was my first time using Meowtel, and I was a bit nervous but from her first update I felt so at ease. She spent time with my babies, played with them and sent photos and videos. I would absolutely recommend Lori, and would use her anytime I go out of town.

Lori went above and beyond taking care of my three girls during my last family trip. We were a bit nervous to try a cat sitter (we usually rely on family/friends and had never left our youngest cat alone for so long), but Lori immediately put us at ease with her attentiveness and love of cats! The kitties were very well cared for (and seemed to enjoy their staycation without our 4 yr. old underfoot), and we were happy to see their pics and read updates while we were away. Even our extremely shy gal ambled out to get some attention! I would definitely recommend Lori if you are in the area and need someone to care for your kitties.

Danielle

Lori was a great cat sitter! She sent us cute pictures every time she visited and made sure to update us on how they were doing thoroughly. She also vacuumed up the litter that our younger cat kicked all over the floor (his favorite thing to do, lol). She was great and I’d book her again!
Emily

Lori is my go to pet sitter. I won’t book a trip unless I know she is available. My cats adore her and the transition when I get home is seamless. That let’s me know they feel comfortable, secure and loved by Lori. I may miss them but I don’t worry about them. I consider her a blessing and am grateful for her care. if you need a sitter don’t hesitate to reach out to Lori!

If you want someone who “gets” your cats are your babies then Lori is that person. I have 3 cats and Lori picked up on each ones quirks and needs and made sure they had what they needed. She kept me up to speed with updates, photos, and videos. I felt so at peace and was able to enjoy my trip without worrying. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her in the future.
