Cat Sitting in New Orleans, LA

My friends call me a cat whisperer because I tend to attract even the most antisocial of pets. I have 20+ years of experience as a cat owner, and know them well--their behaviors, likes & dislikes, play styles, etc. I have experience administering different medications and following specific diets and regimens.

I have 20+ years of experience as a cat owner, and know them well--their behaviors, likes & dislikes, play styles, etc. I have experience administering different medications and following specific diets and regimens. As a cat sitter, I spend time with the cat to reduce loneliness and anxiety. I will use their favorite toys and treats to engage with them. I'll make sure the box is cleaned daily. My personality is somewhat silly and fun-loving, but I take cat care very seriously. As a cat owner myself, I expect sitters to be responsible, organized, and detailed oriented, which is exactly what I'd be with your pet.

Learn More About Kelcy

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Spending quality time with cats! As a cat owner, I understand the value in a sitter that engages with a cat rather than someone who merely drops food in a bowl and leaves. Cats get lonely and sitting gives me the opportunity to alleviate that loneliness.

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

Simply put, I follow the safety and security protocols of the client. As a homeowner and cat owner myself, I know the value of a safe and secure home and pet and what that means for your peace of mind while away.

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

As the owner of an anxious cat, I understand the importance of calming approaches to cat care. I use patience, cat-directed speech, treats, catnip, and/or feliway to gain a cat's trust.

Kelcy is truly a cat whisperer. She takes the time to earn each cat’s trust, paying close attention to their individual personalities and needs. It’s clear she genuinely cares about their comfort, happiness, and well-being—not just checking boxes, but really showing up for them. Her sense of responsibility and attention to detail go above and beyond, and it brings real peace of mind knowing your cats are in such thoughtful, capable hands.

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!
