I'm Laurie

Cat Sitting in Seattle, WA

Hi there! I’m Laurie, a lifelong cat enthusiast with a heart full of love for our feline friends. Since my teenage years, I’ve shared my home with a delightful array of cats—from sassy queens to food-motivated kings, and playful kittens full of mischief. Currently, my family includes three charming 2.5-year-old boys: Hemlock, Brambles, and Thistle.

Hi there! I’m Laurie, a lifelong cat enthusiast with a heart full of love for our feline friends. Since my teenage years, I’ve shared my home with a delightful array of cats—from sassy queens to food-motivated kings, and playful kittens full of mischief. Currently, my family includes three charming 2.5-year-old boys: Hemlock, Brambles, and Thistle.
A bit about me: My passion for animals led me to embrace a vegetarian/vegan lifestyle from a young age. With 25 years of experience as a graphic designer and graphics supervisor in television, I’ve honed my skills in attention to detail, effective communication, and thriving under pressure.
Now semi-retired, I understand the anxiety of leaving your beloved furbabies at home. That’s why I’m here to ensure your cats are happy, loved, and well-cared for while you’re away. Let’s make sure your kitties have a
purr-fectly wonderful time!

Learn More About Laurie

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting a variety of cats and discovering their unique personalities. Cats are so fun and always bring a smile to my face! I also take great joy in providing their owners with peace of mind, knowing their beloved fur babies are well cared for while they’re away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Absolutely! We have three boys that we adopted together. They are 2.5 years old and their names are Hemlock, Brambles, and Thistle. Each has a unique personality, and it’s so fun to see them interact. They get along wonderfully, enjoying snuggles, chasing each other around the house, and the occasional wrestling match. We feel so lucky to have these silly boys in our family!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

I believe it’s important for a cat sitter to have cats of their own. Cats can be quite finicky, and having personal experience helps in understanding their unique nuances. Look for someone who is compassionate towards animals, as this ensures your cat’s needs and safety will always be a top priority. A compassionate and experienced sitter will give you peace of mind while you’re away.

Laurie was amazing and went above and beyond to find a way to make sure one of ours got his daily medicine. loved that it allowed her to then have time to cuddle instead of spending the entire time trying to get him to take his pills. and now we have a quicker/easier way to get him to take his meds. life saver!

This is the 2nd time that Laurie has watched my kitties for me. She again did such a great job. I was traveling internationally and all the photos that she sent really put me at ease. She even got my more shy cat out of his shell now and he comes out to play with her. I will continue booking with Laurie in the future!

Another smooth, easy, amazing reservation with Laurie! Our kitties were so happy to be reunited with their favorite cat sitter for a few days while we were out of town. Laurie provided super thorough updates and some of the cutest photos of our cats we’ve ever seen, plus the top notch care and playtime we can always count on her for! One of our kitties even needed some special skin care this time and Laurie got her to cooperate with no issues. She’ll always be our first choice!

My cats love Laurie! One of them usually hides during sitter visits, but I was so happy to see he took to Laurie so fast and was being social. I really loved the photos Laurie would send throughout my trip, it made me miss them so much! I really appreciate her taking such good care of the kitties; definitely would recommend over and over!

Our cats were happy with Laurie. This was the first time we left our cats with just a feeding sitter vs an overnight house sitter and it was great! Laurie has fabulous attention to detail, asked excellent questions in our first meeting & was very professional & communicative. We got lots of hilarious pictures of our girls while we were gone & it was obvious they were having a good time. Laurie clearly loves cats & it shows. Thank you so much Laurie, the girls hope to see you again soon.

Laurie is such a delightful person and an absolutely fantastic cat sitter! She took such great care of our four kitties which is no small feat given how different (in personality and age) they are. We were a bit anxious in general as this was our furthest and longest trip away from our cats, but Laurie’s thoughtful and thorough updates immediately put us at ease. We could tell how content and happy all the cats were when we got home, and in fact I bet they miss their play time with Laurie now! We look forward to having her back to watch them again.

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.

Seattle 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 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!
