Cats hold such a special place in my heart (I have 3 of my own), and I enjoy getting to know each of their unique personalities. It’s important to me to make sure your cat feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away, so I will take the time to follow your cat’s usual routines and fulfill their needs. Whether your cat wants playtime, attention, a quiet companion, or simply someone to feed them, I’ll meet them where they are. I’ll treat your home with care as well and keep you updated so you can relax knowing your cat is in good hands.

Learn More About Elle

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three kitties of my own whom I love dearly: a senior cat, Peanut, and two adult cats, Fleur and HeiHei. I raised Fleur and HeiHei from kittens, which was such a precious time!

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

To ensure your cat’s well-being and your peace of mind, I will carefully follow your instructions, pay close attention to your cat’s behavior, and send photo updates. I hold an online Pet CPR & First Aid certification and have completed Fear Free Shelter training. These trainings helped me learn how to recognize common warning signs, reduce stress, and take appropriate next steps in an emergency.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, with the exception of Christmas!

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

I find that shy cats do better when I give them an opportunity to come to me.

Topical Ointments Eye/Ear Drops Oral Medication / Pills

Elle does a great job when she checks on my cat! My cat is a more anxious/shy cat with strangers but she has completely warmed up to Elle. Elle does a wonderful job checking on my cat and always lets me know that Fannie is doing good. It means a lot to me to have a sitter who my cat is comfortable with and is willing to come out and spend time with Elle rather than hiding the entire time. Elle is always on time, communicates if there's an issue, and (most importantly) is great with cats and gets them out of their shells.

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.

Monterey cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!
