I'm Ella
Cat Sitting in Lincoln, NE
I have had a lot of experience working with cats including volunteering at many shelters around the world... I love working with cats. I find them so interesting and I love getting to know their personalities! One of my greatest joys is being able to gain the trust of a cat. My goal is to make your cat as comfortable as possible during your absence. I am comfortable giving all types of medications to cats.
I have had a lot of experience working with cats including volunteering at many shelters around the world. I have worked at the Torre Argentina Shelter in Rome, a cat shelter in Santiago, and Great Plains Rescue in the Kansas city area. I was also in charge of all cat care at the Asociacion Humanitaria San Francis de Assisi in Colan, Peru.
I have owned cats all my life. I currently own 2 elderly cats who are like my children.
Outside of cats, my interests include travel, gymnastics/aerial arts, and music. I am in my 13th year as an orchestra teacher in the local school district.
Covid notes: I am fully vaccinated and happy to wear a mask if you request it. I will always wash my hands when I arrive and I always carry hand sanitizer on me.

My fiancé and I got married this last weekend, and we booked Ella to watch our kitties while we were gone. She was great with them! Our shy kitty even felt comfortable enough with her to come out of hiding. We were able to enjoy our trip and festivities knowing our kitties were in good hands!

Ella is a cat whisperer and very professional! She cares about my cat as if it was hers, and always sends timely updates and photos at each visit. A couple of these photos are among of my absolute favorite pictures I have of Sunny. Basically, if you have any nerves about letting a stranger watch your beloved pet while you’re away, they will be safe with Ella. I’ve booked her multiple times.

We have been fortunate to have Ella numerous times over the last year and a half. With three cats, including one elderly cat who is now on multiple medications (uses an asthma inhaler, gets weekly shots, and has oral medicine mixed with food), leaving for travel can be hard (mainly on us). However, all three of our cats love Ella. Ella is spot-on on administering medication, cat love, and sending updates. We feel so fortunate to have her as our kitty caregiver!

Ella did a great job taking care of my boy when I was gone! Usually he’s kind of shy, but he warmed up to Ella on our first “meet and greet”. She made leaving much easier to leave town as long he was taken care of! GREAT JOB ELLA!

This is the second time that Ella has cared for my cats. She is highly conscientious and observant of my cats' behavior and any day to day changes. Ella provides detailed daily reports that put my mind at ease knowing that my cats are under her capable care. I highly recommend Ella!

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.
Lincoln 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!

I’ve booked Ella multiple times now and every time it’s been such a wonderful experience! She has been so patient with my very shy kitty & did great getting her to take her meds this time. 10/10 recommend!

Amazing sitter! One of my cats never came out of hiding for the previous sitter even after his second long-weekend of watching the cats. I told Ella that she might not see the one cat, so on her first visit she sat quietly on the couch for an extended period of time to make the cat comfortable enough to come out of hiding. After that she saw both cats every day and even had the shy one taking treats from her by the end of the week. I will definitely have Ella take care of my cats in the future!

Ella was wonderful! My kitty is shy & Ella would lay next to her hiding spot under the bed to make her more comfortable. By the end of the week my cat was taking treats from her! Ella kept me updated with a daily picture & text. I felt so much better with her there & will definitely book again!

We have had Ella to the house on multiple occasions for the last 1+ year. She is great with our three cats. She plays and loves on the cats, is a master cat-asthma-inhaler administrator, and is a warm presence that our cats consistently respond well to. We find it extremely comforting to have our three cats, of different ages and personalities, get the individual attention they all need when we are traveling!

Ella was great! She was prompt at our meet and greet and was wonderful with our two cats while we were gone. She sent detailed messages and pictures every day to keep us updated. We really appreciated that she troubleshooted a low battery smoke alarm that went off while she was there too! She really wanted to make sure our cats were doing well while we were away. We will definitely be asking her to cat-sit again!

My husband and I have consistently hired Ella to look after our very particular and ornery cat. She continues to treat Barnaby tenderly even when he hissed at her. Ella communicates regularly with us about Barnaby and sends picture updates. She’s the best!

Did a good job. Interacted with both of my cats, even the one that is afraid of everyone except me. For some reason my skittish cat is willing to come out for Ella, she must have the magic touch.

Ella was purrfect!! She tools such great care of my fur babies over a busy and stressful holiday weekend. She sent me a ton of great photos and fun-to-read updates about meal times, play time and more. I think they might like her more than me! Ha! Thank you! Will book with her again for sure!

Ella was one of the best sitters we've encountered. We have an older crotchety cat and Ella understood how to interact with him and not excite him. She took pictures and sent updates via the Meowtel app. We will definitely request Ella's services for our international trip in the summer.

Ella was fantastic! We have four cats, two of whom are very reserved/cautious. She was able to gain the trust of all. Ella is a great communicator too. My husband made the comment that the best part of our trip was getting the updates on our furkids - especially the great pictures.

This is our family’s first time using an online app to find a catsitter, and we lucked out finding Ella! She was timely, professional, and extremely loving to our three cats. We will definitely ask for her to be our catsitter again! Highly recommend… Our cats loved her. 🐈🐈⬛🐈⬛
