I'm Lauren | Cat Sitting in Austin, TX

Hi, I’m Lauren, a life-long cat parent and cat lover. I’ve been blessed with loving and caring for many different kitties and their equally different personalities throughout my life. Thus, I am equipped to handle just about any cattitude from the playful and friendly to the aloof closet hider. Before moving to Austin in 2024 (with my two COVID kitties) I volunteered with cat shelters in SF and LA. I loved helping even the most shy cats find their furever homes, giving them a chance to thrive. While I still enjoy volunteering, I also love caring for happy cats in their own environme...

Learn More About Lauren

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to know each cat’s personality because no two are the same! I especially enjoy being able to see shy cats warm up to me and helping put them at ease while their owners are away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I adopted two littermates at the beginning of COVID that my friend found at 5 weeks old. They are long-haired floofs that look similar to Norwegian Forest Cats. Their names are Rocky and Rona and they are attention-loving lap cats that follow me around all day long. I couldn’t ask for better kiddos 😸

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

Safety & security is extremely important to me as someone who has had many sitters in my own home in the past. One of my own cats is very anxious and I consciously monitor his behavior, ensuring he’s happy and healthy. I do the same for any cats that I am sitting, making sure to understand their baseline personality and health, so that I’m able to look out for anything raising concern. I’m also very respectful of the owners space by double-checking that all entrances are secured and the cats are safe when coming and going.

Lauren did an amazing job caring for my big orange cat! It can be stressful leaving him for vacation but I’m thankful Lauren sent updates with photos and really went above and beyond to show him lots of love while I was away!

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $31.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
