Cat Sitting in Olympia, WA

I'm Loryn, and I've lived in the Olympia area for almost my whole life, and have owned cats for just as long! My current cat, who can be seen in my gallery, is named Coyote and he is the politest little guy ever.

I've been assisting with catsitting jobs ever since I was in middle school. Several years ago, I was asked personally to star...
I'm Loryn, and I've lived in the Olympia area for almost my whole life, and have owned cats for just as long! My current cat, who can be seen in my gallery, is named Coyote and he is the politest little guy ever.

I've been assisting with catsitting jobs ever since I was in middle school. Several years ago, I was asked personally to start catsitting for a client, and I've loved it and wanted to do more ever since. I am very excited to have the opportunity to do so on Meowtel, and I can accept clients from anywhere in the Olympia-Lacey-Tumwater area!

Please note that I'm currently unable to look after cats that need injections or oral medicine (food additives are fine).

Learn More About Loryn

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

During an initial meeting, I go over the basics like feeding times and routines, litterbox changing, and anything else important. I make sure to take notes on what was covered in the meeting immediately after it finishes. I also ask about their cat's personality and typical behaviors, and I will see if the cat is interested in approaching and greeting me so they can be familiar with me before I start watching over them.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

When I arrive at a home for catsitting, I ensure I physically see each cat at least once while I'm there, to confirm that they're inside and safe. I'm also very alert when opening exterior doors to ensure there are no escape attempts, and I always double-check locks before leaving. To respect privacy, I avoid going into bedrooms unless it's necessary in order to check on a cat or access a litterbox.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I will almost always be available to catsit during holidays, as I typically do not plan to travel during them.

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

I let them go at their own pace and I always respect their limits. If they need to hide or don't want to be touched, that's okay. What's most important to me is their own comfort level.

Loryn has established a routine with my kitty Elsa that really reduces Elsa’s anxiety while I’m gone. Loryn comes at the same time of day, goes through the same feeding ritual, then provides lots of pets. I can relax on my trips because I return to a kitty who is relaxed and well cared for.

Loryn was the perfect caregiver for my kitty Elsa. I returned home from a lengthy trip to a calm, freshly brushed cat who was happy to see me but not desperate — all the indicators that she had felt safe and well loved while I was gone. I will hire Loryn again!

Loryn was awesome - Our timid cat that doesn't normally like strangers played with her and was very relaxed when we got back. Loryn took great care of our home and was easy to work with!

My furbaby was well taken care of! Loryn is reliable and attentive to Rooney's care and well-being. He's still a little shy, but all the pictures show he is just fine in my absence and I can tell he is glad to have Loryn drop in.

I'm so glad I met Loryn to care for my furbaby! She did a great job and I look forward to having her care for Rooney again in the near future. Everything was in perfect order. Rooney was relaxed, but happy to see me! He's a bit shy with anyone new, but I could tell from the pictures she sent each day that he appreciated Loryn papping in to check on him while I was gone. Maybe next time she won't be just a curiosity, but he'll adopt her!

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.

Olympia cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!
