I'm Laurie
Cat Sitting in Converse, TX
While I’m still growing experience, I’m confident in handling basic care and always eager to follow your specific instructions to en... Hi there! I’m a lifelong animal lover and a proud cat parent for the past couple years. Since bringing home my kitty, Stella, I’ve fallen in love with cats, their quirky personalities and their soft cuddles. Stella has taught me so much and caring for her has sparked my passion for cat sitting!
While I’m still growing experience, I’m confident in handling basic care and always eager to follow your specific instructions to ensure your cat feels safe and loved while you’re away.
What sets me apart from other sitters is that I bring a strong background in caregiving. I’ve babysat children and cared for dogs over the years, so I’m no stranger to responsibility, patience and attentiveness.
I know how important it is to trust someone with your cat and I treat every furry friend like my own. I look forward to meeting you and your wonderful kitties!
Learn More About Laurie
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have a Tuxedo cat named, Stella. She is 2 years old and we adopted her after she was dropped off at a vet clinic as a kitten. My husband and I also, just recently, adopted a 5 year old gray cat, Callie, from the Animal Defense League. She is the sweetest girl and we love her so much already
What is your favorite cat toy?
My favorite cat toy is the feather toys on the strings. I love watching cats reactions to them and watch them fly through the air to catch it. It’s so much fun and it gives the cat a good amount of exercise
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I usually just let the cat get used to my presence before immediately going up to them. I don’t want to scare them upon arrival. I will wait for them to come out on their own and if they are slowly coming out, I will give them a little treat and pets so they can be more trusting towards me

I am a returning client of Laurie’s with four cats. She is always responsible, communicative, and friendly. One cat had small wounds that needed antibiotic ointment applied, and she was wonderful with applying the medicine and sending update photos of the wounds to help me worry less. I always appreciate her watching the cats and giving me peace of mind!

Laurie was fantastic. This was our first time using a cat sitter service so we weren't sure what to expect. At a minimum we assumed they would check on the cats, ensure they had food/water, and manage the litter boxes. What we got from Laurie was so much more. Not only did she take care of the basics, but she won over and made friends with two of our three cats by playing with them, discovering their favorite toys, and giving them lots of love. She also hunted down our ninja kitty (the hider) no matter what piece of furniture she squeezed under to ensure she was doing ok and never gave up on trying to befriend her too the entire time. We got pictures and short videos everyday, to include the ninja's glowing eyes under the bed, dresser, recliner, the list goes on. Laurie also provided a full report on their activities and well being daily. This was an exceptional experience that left us so much more satisfied than any kennel we've used in the 20+ years we've had cats. We'll most definitely be seeking Laurie on our next trip away from home.

Laurie was wonderful with learning the different personalities of our four cats as well as what things to look out for in each of them. She was prompt and on time with getting the key and visiting, and sent great photos, videos, and messages as updates. I feel comfortable with Laurie taking care of our cats and being in our house.

Laurie was so great! she was super kind and sent so many photos and videos that made me feel confident that my cats were being well-cared for while I was away. she went above and beyond, setting up a feeder during her first visit after we had a wifi snafu and couldn’t do it the morning we left. she even got my skittish cat to come out of her shell and hang out. 😍 my mom, a major cat lady, hasn’t been able to do that yet! when I came back, I could tell that they clearly loved playing with her. I came home from my trip around the time of her usual visit, and my cats were waiting by the door and ready to play. 😆 I’ll definitely book with Laurie for my next trip.

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.
Converse 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!
