My name is Elyse and I'd love to watch your kitties! Ever since I was little I've loved cats and find them to be incredibly special creatures. They can be very misunderstood but with the right knowledge, energy and a little bit of patience, you can find a way to most of their hearts.
✽ I like to make sure all cats I watch are well taken care of and given proper attention. I have worked with kittens to senior cats that need a little extra help.
✽ I like to provide videos and photos to the owners so they can rest assure the cats are being well taken care of!
✽ My main goal is for the owners to feel relaxed while away. I am a hairstylist who is freelance so I have a rather flexible schedule.
Learn More About Elyse
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love getting to know new cats, whether they are shy at first or incredibly social. I like to work with their energy and match it as best I can.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two incredibly sweet sisters named Nina & Zumi.
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
As a cat owner myself who currently has 8 month old kittens, I definitely understand concerns around someone watching your pets. I like to be extremely communicative and attentive to both the owners & cats needs. If you are someone who likes to list out instructions, I will always follow them.
What is your favorite cat toy?
The best part about cats is anything can technically be a cat toy. Crumbled up tissue paper, aluminum foil, shoelaces, or traditional feathers on a pole.

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.
Ventura cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
