Learn More About Laura

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I’ve sat for many pets since I was a teenager (now in my 50s), usually for family friends, but I’d welcome the opportunity to expand that circle.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My most recent sitting experience was with a particularly shy kitty, and I was so pleased to have made a friend by the end of our time together.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Not currently. I lost my sweet Rosie in August of 2025, and the time just isn’t right to have another one right now.

My two kitties are very needy and require a lot of extra care which Laura did a fantastic job providing. She gave them their meds, special diet and much needed affection.

Laura is a great choice for cat care! She has sat for my kitties on many occasions. She is always a joy to be around and I can be assured that my cats are well cared for and loved in their time with her.

Laura cared for my cats as if they were her own. I could tell when I got home that they were happy, content, and had been well cared for and loved.

Frequently Asked Questions

Richmond cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
