I'm Lori
Cat Sitting in Denton, TX
I understand that pets are not just animals; they are our companions, our support, and our furry children... I’m an absolute cat lover (of all animals really!) and have had them in my life since childhood. I currently have two kitties - one of whom is special needs - and they are the lights of my life. Friends call me the cat whisperer because of my ability to get even the grumpiest of cats to warm up to me. I understand how important your kitty is to you and will care for him/her as if my own.
I understand that pets are not just animals; they are our companions, our support, and our furry children. As a cat sitter I will provide attention, care, and love to your kitty, making sure he or she feels comfortable while you are away.
I have over 20 years of experience cat sitting for clients, close friends, and family members. I provide 100% personal attention and high quality care during your cat’s sitting and you can always count on daily photo/video updates (ask about FaceTime/video chat during your booking!).
If you have any special requests such as plant care, bringing in mail/packages, clipping your kitty’s nails/brushing… I’m happy to accommodate!
When I’m not cat sitting, I’m also an IT professional specializing in Hardware and Software Asset Management. I am also an avid cyclist and art, food, and music lover.
Learn More About Lori
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love getting to know cats on a personal level, literally getting down on the floor with them to better understand their behaviors and unique personalities. Everything about kitties brings me joy: their purrs, meows, and quirks are some of my favorites! I always treat a client’s cat as if he or she were my own, and treat their home with the same respect as I do mine. I understand the bond between a cat and their owner and the heartbreak that accompanies having to leave them alone. My desire is to ease both the cat and parent’s worries and make them feel as safe and taken care of as possible.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes! Cricket is my older special needs girl who struggles with FHV-1 and arthritis but still lives a very happy life. Koopa is my ragdoll-Siamese mix and is a professional cuddler/purrmonster. The dynamic between the two is a little shaky and they tend to have sibling disagreements but we are a very happy family.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I will reach out to set up a meet and greet during which I’ll gather all pertinent details about your kitties and the reservation, as well as introducing myself to your furry children. My gameplan after that is to make you feel at ease and that your kitty will be in loving hands while you are away.

Lori was by far the best cat sitter I’ve ever had! She went above and beyond by sending plenty of photos and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. What meant the most to me, though, was her attention to detail, especially making sure my cats’ favorite string toy was always put away safely. One of my cats has a history of chewing and swallowing strings and even had to go to the vet for it before, so it’s always been a big stressor for me. Lori took that worry completely off my shoulders by reassuring me it was put away properly every time. I couldn’t have asked for better care!

I was nervous about having a sitter look in on our 3 cats while we were out of town, but Lori put all my doubts to rest. She sent lots of videos and pictures to us while we were away. She made fast friends with all of our cats, even the shy one! I definitely plan to use her again the next time we go on vacation.

We were going out of town and one of our two kitties was having some medical issues that needed focused attention. On fairly short notice we found Lori and long story short, she saved our vacation. We can't recommend her highly enough!

From the very first meet-and-greet to the day Lori left the house keys for me to collect, every interaction with her was nothing short of exceptional. Lori’s professionalism and empathy truly set her apart. She not only took great care of my cats but also took the time to understand their unique behaviors and personalities, which meant so much to me as a pet owner. On top of that, Lori went above and beyond—during extremely cold weather, she thoughtfully brought in my two heavy potted plants to protect them from the elements. This level of care and attention to detail far exceeded my expectations. Thank you, Lori, for your kindness, dedication, and for being so amazing. I couldn’t have asked for a better cat nanny!

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.
Denton 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 has been phenomenal!! She was available on very short notice and able to accommodate us in to her schedule when we were delayed in getting home. She went above and beyond in caring for our cat and also seeing to the needs of our axolotl since we were held up out of state. Thank you Lori!!

We always book Lori whenever we need a cat sitter for our furry baby! She's very punctual and takes great care of our cat. We never need to worry because Lori always sends lots of photos and videos every time she visits. She even helped us run a few errands around the house that came up while we were away, so she always goes above and beyond! We are very grateful to have a sitter like her :)

Lori was amazing! This was the first time hiring a cat sitter and I was a little nervous. Lori made it easy. She took the best care of my kitty...she arrived timely, sent lots of pictures and was super efficient. She even administered insulin for my diabetic guy!

Loris is a great sitter! Very communicative with pictures and videos and even got my very persnickety Georgie to take his pill. Would definitely use her again.

Lori took such wonderful care of our fur babies. It only took one visit for them to come out from hiding and play and hang out with her. She has a special gift when it comes to making the cats feel at ease and also the cat parents. I was so comfortable after meeting her once and she did not disappoint. She took tons of pictures for us and kept us up to date on her visits. I highly recommend Lori if you are in ever need of a professional and trustworthy cat sitter. We will use her over and over again!

Lori was very responsive when initially meeting. She was on time, and it was easy to tell she has taken great care of kitties before. She texted photos and videos to us at each visit to show they were loved and cared for. She is an excellent cat sitter and we highly recommend her.

Lori is the greatest cat sitter! We needed a last minute sitter and she re-arranged her schedule to help us out. Our Sophie can be a little "spirited" and yet Lori can get her to come to her and our Lucca is a literally scared of his own shadow and she too was able to coax him out in just one visit. She takes great videos so you know your fur babies are well. I would highly recommend her!

Lori was wonderful! She took great care of our kitties! She eased my cat mom mind while we were out of town. She texted cute videos and pictures every day. Lori was very sweet and attentive at our meet and greet. We have a social cat and a scared cat. She catered perfectly to both personalities. I highly recommend Lori and I would hire her again!

I was hesitant using a service but Lori definitely reassured me after the first visit. She made sure to track the boys down (they’re shy), made sure they’re okay, and took lots of videos and photos. I’d absolutely recommend her to anyone!

Great service and care for my kitties! I was away for almost a week and was a little worries about leaving them at home for that long... But Lori took great care of them, and sent photos and videos daily. It was great to know and see they were well, having fun and had company. Thank you Lori! :)

Lori watch my fur babies for a week. She was awesome! I have one girl cat who is a bit "moody" and she was able to get her out from under the bed and socialize. I received great videos and pictures and my mind was put at ease knowing she was taking care of them. I highly recommend her!

Lori was so sweet to my cats that one of them is clearly in love with her now. I saw him get all excited to see her when she came by to drop off the extra key! Seriously, though, Lori clearly cares about kitties. It shows in some of the remarkable photos she sent me. I felt completely confident that my kitties were safe and loved while I was gone. (I kinda hate leaving this good of a review because I am worried she may get too busy —- hah!). Will absolutely hire her again!

Lori is fantastic! I could not have been happier with her as a sitter for my two sphynx cats. She was very communicative, always sending photos and videos of the wee beasts when she visited. She was flexible and responsive in setting up the walkthrough, and there were no issues or hassles at all. I’ll definitely seek her out in the future when I need a cat sitter again!
