Learn More About Lauren
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I really enjoy getting to know different cats’ personalities. From rambunctious and outgoing to reserved and a bit shy, I have love for all of these different aspects of your pets!
Are you usually available during holidays?
Yes, I can be available during holidays for sitting. I understand this is the most requested time for sitters overall.
What is your favorite cat toy?
I love a wand toy, because this encourages cats to come out and play while maintaining a bit of distance from me as a new person. I find that it helps them get comfortable a lot more quickly as they “pounce” on different spots in their home while I’m visiting.

Lauren is incredibly attentive, compassionate, and responsible. I have had the pleasure of entrusting her with the care of my cat while she was sick, and she made sure to follow my cat's lead and pay close attention to my instructions, as well as the doctor's. Anyone - both human and feline - would be lucky to have Lauren's care and attention.

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.
Houston 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 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 Meet & Greet!
