Cat Sitting in Vancouver, WA

Hi, my name is Lanie!! I am a full time pet sitter looking to add more kitties to my schedule! I love my dog and exotic clients but I am a cat person through and through! 😍

I have been pet sitting for almost 8 years now but officially went full time in July 2024!! Before that, I worked at the humane society in my college town learning the ins and outs of caring for cats with various medical needs and behavioral issues... Hi, my name is Lanie!! I am a full time pet sitter looking to add more kitties to my schedule! I love my dog and exotic clients but I am a cat person through and through! 😍

I have been pet sitting for almost 8 years now but officially went full time in July 2024!! Before that, I worked at the humane society in my college town learning the ins and outs of caring for cats with various medical needs and behavioral issues. I even travel the world working with animals! Most recently, I spent three weeks in Peru volunteering at a rescue for senior and disabled dogs and cats, and this October I will be spending two weeks in Turkey working with stray kitties across the country! My favorite clients are seniors and super shy cats, I just love helping them come out of their shells! 💕

My personal clowder of cats include Yoda, my childhood cat who turns 16 this year and has a handful of medical needs now, and Nova, a super timid 5 year old Oriental Shorthair rescued from Louisiana during the hurricanes in 2021. I am also the proud mom of a regal jumping spider named Guava🥰🕷️

Please reach out with any questions! I can’t wait to meet you and your kitty!🐈‍⬛

Learn More About Lanie

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Working with cats is so rewarding! They require that extra sense to be able to read their body language and build their trust. Becoming friends with them, especially the shy ones, is the best part of my job!!💕

Are you usually available during holidays?

I absolutely am!! I do tend to book up quicker during holiday periods so please reach out as soon as you can!

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

This is my specialty!! I am the proud mom of a timid tabby girl so I’ve learned the ropes from her! When working with shy cats, I have to be extra aware of how my body language is perceived by a cat as well as being able to clearly read the cats body language. Slow, predictable movements, a calm voice, respecting the cats boundaries and treats are the trick to building trust with shy cats! 🐈‍⬛

Lanie took such great care of my senior cat. She reliably administered medications and followed a fairly intense feeding schedule. I appreciated her regular updates with super cute photos of my baby.

Lanie watched my spunky, recently adopted hairless cat during my first trip away from home and she was a huge help, would love to use her again the next time I need to travel. Everything was great, no issues, and I appreciated the thorough visit/walk-through she made before I left. As an added bonus, she is an EXCELLENT photographer and got some awesome photos of my baby boy for me!

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.

Vancouver cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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!
