Learn More About Ella

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love meeting new cats and getting to know their unique personalities. Whether I get to win over a shy cat, cuddle with a lovebug, or witness the zoomies of a kitten, I feel lucky to hang out with a kitty friend! I know how stressful it can be on you and your cat to be apart, and I want to minimize that as much as possible.

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

This is my number one priority. This success will begin before I step foot in the home by making sure I have clear instructions for any safety or security risks. Knowing if your cat is an escape artist, likes to chew on cords, or might hide in unusual places is a good spot to start. I am careful and organized by nature, so you’ll never have to worry about a door or window being left unlocked. I always do a “head count” before leaving to ensure all cats are accounted for and can access food, water, and litter.

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

As a foster cat parent, I’m used to cats at their very worst- abandoned, abused, scared, depressed, and more. I take extreme care when helping these cats adjust to new elements, and I promise the same level of care for your cat. I will always be calm and patient and build a relationship on the cat’s terms. I’ll let them come to me and am not above bribery (approved treats and toys)! I’ve had plenty of shy cats, and I know there’s nothing wrong with them; it’s all the more rewarding when I win them over!

Ella was absolutely fantastic. I have two shy kitties - the less shy one took to her immediately and the more shy one did eventually come out for her which he’s not done with any other sitter. Ella was flexible with some last minute changes we had to make and kept us up to date with how the cats were doing. Will absolutely rebook with her!

Ella is great with my babies. she gives them attention and sends pics and videos. Mavis normally is not playful, but is becoming more playful since Ella has been spending time with them.

Ella was amazing! I was worried my cat was going to hide from her the whole stay as she sometimes does with new people. However, she warmed up to Ella and was able to have some play time and pets. :) Ella must have a wonderful energy about her. She was quick to respond and I had no worries about my girl being hungry or lonely. I will definitely be booking with Ella in the future!

Ella is absolutely wonderful! She's so caring and kind with the kitties we've entrusted her with. She takes such a caring and individual approach with each cat and takes the time to understand their needs.

I cannot recommend Ella highly enough as a cat sitter! She is incredibly dependable and compassionate and has cared for my husband and I’s cats many times with exceptional results. Her clear and timely communication style kept us informed and at ease throughout our time away. She tended to our cats' every quirky need, from handling their Cystitis medication during a flare up to maintaining their daily routines. What impressed me most was how organized and attentive she was, especially when it came to caring for our Cystitis kitty as well as our more shy cat. I felt completely confident knowing my feline family was in her capable hands. The experience she provides is outstanding, and I would wholeheartedly recommend Ella to anyone seeking a dedicated and loving cat sitter who treats your pets like her own.

Frequently Asked Questions

Canal Winchester cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $23.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
