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.

Lydia was great! She was super responsive and attentive, making sure to leave no stone unturned taking care of my two girls. I got regular updates from her and constant communication to make sure she was keeping them happy and healthy!

Frequently Asked Questions

Vienna cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
