Learn More About Lawren
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love meeting new kitties. They all have their own unique personalities and I love getting to know them all. I like seeing the cat toys others get for their pets and seeing how they work. Sometimes I get similar ones for my kitties to try.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 5 kitties. I have 2 tuxedos. One named Frito (m) and one named Lagertha (f). A Bombay named Pepper (m). A cow cat named Jax (m)and an orange sh domestic named Poppy (f).
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I currently have a timid and anxious kitty named Frito. I make sure to be calm and not make loud noises around him. Patience is key. Treats help a lot with them opening up and getting more comfortable.

This was our very first time using a cat sitting service and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! Our boys are usually very shy and tend to get upset when we’re away too long — but we came home to happy, relaxed kitties who were clearly well-cared for. The updates and pictures were such a comfort while we were gone, and it showed how much attention and love they were getting. It truly gave us peace of mind on our trip. Lawren is amazing and totally trusted her. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again! 🐾💛

Lawren was amazing! She gave us daily updates with pictures and videos of our cat, Meeps. She even cleaned up things and put stuff in the recycling bin, in addition to hand-washing all of her cat bowls. I was super impressed with Lawren.

Stop thinking - just book a reservation! I just moved to a new state and was hesitant to book services. But an out of country trip was already planned so I needed care for my 2 cats for 11 days. I met with the selected individual before to make sure my cats didn't run and hide from her. She got a lick of approval from the shy one, so my worry faded quickly. The daily updates and pictures were more than I hoped for and made me smile each day. By the end, they were so comfortable with her and I had no stress thinking about them. Highly recommend!!

Lauren has been very good to my kitty Miles. She came Sunday and Monday and since I’m moving out of state, they were just boxes piled everywhere but she made sure that he was fine. Great pictures that she sends are always welcome!

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.
Melissa cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!

Lawren is the first person I go to for cat-sitting my cat Thursday. She is the most reliable person I know. She is caring, compassionate, and loving towards every cat she has ever been around. She has many years of experience and I would trust her in any and every situation that might arise. In fact, she has taught me more about cats than any other person I have met. She is extremely respectful of others, and of their spaces, and takes sincere joy in helping others, especially where cats are involved. As a cat sitter, you would never need to worry about your cat being taken care of when Lawren is in charge. She frequently sends photos and updates. She will provide the care the specific animal requires, and has a lot of experience with cats with medical needs of any age. I have witnessed firsthand Lawren not only cat-sitting for others, but also raising kittens and providing end of life care to her own fur babies. She will treat any cat like it is her own and she is passionate about it. Anyone would be lucky to work with Lawren in any capacity.
