The difference
A neighbor who knows your cat by name.
MEOW! at the Lake is not an app and not a rotating roster of strangers. You meet you sitter before your trip, and that same familiar face comes through the door every visit — so your cat never has to start over with someone new.
Included, always
Basic home care comes with every visit.
While we are caring for your cat, we quietly keep your house looking lived in. No add-on fees, no upsell — it is simply part of the visit.

02

03

So the house never reads as empty.

What we do
Our Cat Sitting Services
Every cat and every home is different, so every visit is built around yours — feeding, fresh water, litter, medication, play, and a real update before we lock the door.
Extra time
One Hour Cat Visit
A full hour of undivided attention — ideal for multi-cat households, busy kittens, or a senior who needs a slower pace.

What our customers have to say.
★★★★★This is the best thing you can do for your cat(s), other than stay home!!! Michele is the Best!
★★★★★Michele was wonderful with our cat! She is professional, caring, and reliable. She even took time to play with our cat, which was greatly appreciated. She checked in with us after each visit with pictures to let us know how things were going, and brought in our mail and packages without us even asking her to. She carefully followed the medication and feeding instructions I left for her. She is a real gem. So glad that I found her! :)
★★★★★Michele was very professional, reliable and flexible. I have nothing bad to say about my experience. I felt confident leaving my cats with her and she did a fabulous job. We have 5 kitties and 1 is on medication. Michele was excellent with them and it was so reassuring getting texts from her every day. We will be using her for all of our future cat sitting needs!
Your questions answered
Ask away.
Tap any question to open it. The full list lives on our FAQ page.
Do I meet my cat sitter before I go out of town?
Absolutely. We would never send a stranger to your home that you and your cat have not met. Before your trip we schedule a complimentary meet and greet where I come to your home to meet you and your cat.
I do all the visits so your kitty always has a familiar, trusted face coming through the door.
Will you administer medication?
Yes. Many of the cats in my care need daily medication, and I always make sure your kitty never misses a dose while you are away. I am experienced administering:
- Oral medications, pills or liquid
- Subcutaneous fluids
- Eye and ear drops
- Topical medications
- Insulin injections
I review dosage and schedule at your meet and greet, and there is no additional charge for medication administration.
Are there any additional fees?
No. Our pricing is simple, transparent, and all-inclusive. We do not charge extra for additional cats in your household — whether you have one cat or five, the rate is exactly the same.
We do not charge extra to administer medication either. Great cat care should not come with a long list of add-on fees.
