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 has charmed my otherwise shy catty! Indigo is happy to see Lauren and does not need to be coaxed from her hiding place. Lauren provides a great array of pictures and updates. I highly recommend her!

Lauren did an amazing job taking care of my boy Zeus while I was out of town. From the very first day of the meet and greet, Zeus took an instant liking to Lauren. He approached her to say hello without any hesitation at all. I felt so much more at ease knowing my cat was comfortable with Lauren while I was out of town. He doesn’t usually come out to greet people, so I knew it was a good sign when he initially approached her to say hello. Lauren went above and beyond my expectations. Followed all instructions without issue. She fed Zeus multiple times a day, cleaned and left the litterbox spotless, cleaned/topped off the water fountain, sat with him and brushed him every day, and played with him with his favorite bird toy so he got his daily exercise in. Lauren even brought in a few packages that arrived while I was away. I also received regular updates/photos from every one of her visits. Seeing my cat on a daily bases via photos and daily updates was extremely helpful. Zeus looked like he really enjoyed the attention and care Lauren provided him. Plus as an added bonuses, everything was so clean and tidy when I got home. I can’t recommend Lauren enough for anyone looking for a reliable cat sitter. I’d definitely hire Lauren again next time I go out of town knowing that I’m leaving my Zeus in excellent hands. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Lauren was truly wonderful. She kept our three kittos happy, healthy and very engaged for the 10 days we were gone. She asked good questions and had clear common-sense when it came to anything unexpected. Her updates were thorough and we enjoyed watching how she was getting to see, understand and enjoy our cats personalities as they became fast friends with her. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed about taking an extended trip. We will most definitely continue to ask Lauren to watch our feline family in the future. Many thanks!

Lauren was an amazing cat sitter for me. It was an uncommonly chaotic weekend and Lauren was patient with my crazy schedule. And my very social cat, Logan, who has many special needs including blindness and kidney problems, seemed so well cared for and so happy when I returned home. I can tell just from his behavior that he was extremely well taken care of. Beyond all that Lauren sent amazing pictures and updates. Highly recommend, all around. I would trust Lauren to watch Logan again any time.

Lauren came to visit our cat and kept things very simple with ample playtime. Our cat tends to be quite shy with strangers, but Lauren used a gentle way to coax our cat to come out of her shell, and was rewarded with treats. Our cat enjoyed playing with Lauren, and was already following her around, which is extremely rare. Thank you again Lauren, we look forward to working with you again soon!

Lauren was a fantastic cat sitter for my boys, Cedric and Ronald! Ronald usually takes a few times to warm up to a sitter and by the second visit Lauren had Ronald purring and playing. She always updated me with multiple photos and a detailed account of the boys during her visit. When we arrived home she had a letter addressed to my husband and I thanking us for hiring her. Above and beyond! Thank you Lauren!

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

Austin cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. 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.
