I am currently a Veterinary Assistant at Uptown Veterinary Hospital 🩺 with many years of experience locally at several hospitals. I have been a pet sitter since the early 2000’s working closely with a licensed and insured owner at that time. I have gone independent with a focus on cat sitting for clients friends loved ones and neighbors! I have 7 cats I care for now as well as a 37 year old yellow eared slider turtle 🐢 and a goldfish who is also getting up there! 🐡 I call it my mini zoo! I have also cared for goats chickens and other exotics as well.
I am born and raised in New Orleans ⚜️and happy to help with my loyalty, respect, trust, responsibility and caring. I would want the absolute best for my babies and nothing less and that’s how I will care for yours!

Learn More About Monica

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! I currently have Gravy, Beep Beep, Paddy Cake, Arnie, Tipitina, Who Dat and Snapdragon! Wellington 🐢 and Sunday Funday 🐠 🐈🐈‍⬛😻🐱

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes I am available as I don’t travel because I enjoy staying close to home to care for my own zoo!

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

I love this question because often more times than not the cats can be very timid and I understand this and why! I come in with a calm prescence and soft and subtle. I will usually sit and wait until they are ready and if not I will respect their wishes but always check on them before I leave even if they are in hiding. Treats and toys help but not in every case. I have handled and cared for all personalities. I like to play soft music on my phone as well such as WWOZ fm radio 📻! Music is calming and therapeutic. No loud shoes or sudden fast movements as that can be scary to them too! Patience is key.

I've known Monica for 17 years and she is one of only a very few people who I would trust to care for my cat in my absence. Having worked in feline specialty medicine as an assistant myself, I feel I can vouch for Monica's veterinary background, particularly when it comes to cats. She is also a very caring person in general, always willing to do what she can to help animals and people. I absolutely recommend her services to New Orleans cat parents who want the best for their babies!

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.

New Orleans cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $22.00. 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!
