They have been a huge part of my life, and I know just how special (and, of course, sassy) they are.

Hello, fellow cat lovers!

My name is Leah! I'm a cat mom of four wonderful kitties based in Elko, Nevada. Ever since I was a little girl, I have always loved taking care of cats. They have been a huge part of my life, and I know just how special (and, of course, sassy) they are. Whether it’s keeping their routines consistent or giving them the extra love that they deserve, I’m here to help your fluffy family feel safe and cared for while you’re away.

I’ve been watching cats as a hobby for about eight years now, and have cared for all kinds of felines with differing personalities, from playful kittens to senior cats needing a little extra attention. Every one of them is unique, and I always do my best to make them feel calm, happy, and loved when their owners are away.

I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind when you travel, so I will keep you updated with messages and photos. You can relax knowing your fur babies are in good hands!

My rate is $15 an hour, and I’m happy to work with your schedule. Let me know how I can help, I’d love to meet you and your cats! 😊

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I began cat sitting as a hobby a bit over eight years ago, but I officially began pursuing it as a career in 2024. I have always felt such a special connection with cats, so much so that a friend, whose 3 senior kitties were my first official clients, nicknamed me "The Cat Auntie". Now, two and a half years later, I have a wonderful group of regular clients and can honestly say that I'm working the best job of my life!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I am a proud cat mom of four wonderful kitties of my own! • Bo Nugget: My handsome and fluffy 8-year-old tuxedo boy. • Sylvie: 5-years-old and the sweetest void (black cat) you could ever meet! • Minnie: My 4-year-old calico angel baby. • Ophelia: A 3-year-old little gray menace who always keeps me on my toes!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

Typically, I will bring my planner/calendar with me to the first meeting I have with a new client. I will ask them several questions, like what their kitty's daily routine looks like, any behavioral quirks, and their health history. Any essential information (such as veterinary and emergency contact info) I will write down. I try to be as thorough as I can and ask for as many details as necessary to ensure that I can provide the best care possible.

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.

Elko cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $20.00. 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!
