Learn More About Lydia

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two cats; Tigger who is one and Louie who is eleven. They are both male tabbies. They are very affectionate to people. I have had them both since they were three months old.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The fishing pole (is what I call it). The toy with string connected to a stick and has feathers. My boys love playing with it when I am at home. I actually have three of them because they like a variety.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

My older cat Louie is timid at first and I am just patient with him until he feels comfortable. He was always the beta with my previous cat who passed away last year, but with Tigger, he has brought out his playfulness and is more Alfa than he used to be. I was even able to finally get him to take a treat out of my hand! Only took having my one year old for him to finally take the treat from my hand.

I needed a last minute sitter for my young cat over Christmas and I’m so glad Lydia was available! She was responsive and kind and took great care of my cat while I was away, sending updates complete with photos and videos. Would definitely recommend!

Lydia spent more time with my fur babies than needed. She made sure they trusted her and felt loved while we were away! She completed every task asked of her. Pappy and Porter are excited to see her again soon.

Frequently Asked Questions

Vienna 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.
