Even with our shy Merlin, Elyse never failed to give him his insulin doses and she got him to warm up to her. Elyse was reliable and communicated with each visit. We loved the photos and videos. It was very reassuring. We”d not hesitate to hire her again.

5 stars for Elyse! She provided exceptional care for my two cats while I was away. ​Communication was clear, prompt, and easy from start to finish—we chatted regularly through the app, which gave me total peace of mind. One of my cats has kidney failure and requires special attention, and Elise handled his needs with extraordinary diligence, patience, and genuine compassion. She treated both of my cats like her own, giving them plenty of love and affection. ​I couldn't have asked for a better, more trustworthy cat sitter. I will definitely be booking Elyse again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for attentive, top-tier pet care!

Elyse watched our three cats, one of whom is diabetic and requires two shots a day, while my wife and I traveled internationally for the first time. We were gone ten days, on the other side of the world. Elyse made us feel confident and worry free with our cats’ health and safety. Twice a day we were greeted with pictures of our cats and some entertaining comments on their behavior. Our recommendation could not be higher.

Elyse did amazing work caring for my medically complex kitty with chronic kidney disease. Not only did she make sure he was fed and medicated, but she still took time and cared for the other two in the clowder, playing with them and making sure they weren't left out of getting attention.

This was my first time using Meowtel and I will definitely be using it again to reserve excellent cat care with Elyse! I have three kitties ranging in age from kitten to senior. My senior cat is on multiple medications and had just had a health scare the day before we left to visit family for Thanksgiving. I took her to an urgent care vet and had instructions for administering meds and watching out for symptoms. Elyse was so professional about putting me at ease and assuring me that she knew how to care for my cat and how to handle an emergency if needed. During our trip, she sent daily text updates with photos and videos. I am so grateful that I could spend the holiday with my family several states away and have total peace of mind about my pets. Thank you, Elyse!

Elyse did a great job taking care of my two cats! This was Elyse's second time babysitting my boy (a diabetic senior with special diet instructions and other meds) and they got along wonderfully, just like the first time. She sent some wonderful pictures and videos of him. Elyse ensured my second cat (a hidder) was alright and gave her attention. The pictures and updates reassured me. Elyse is a wonderful cat sitter, I highly recommend her!

HUGE fan of Elyse. My cat is almost 18 and has kidney disease, so being attentive to her health is extremely important. She's also not a fan of even the best strangers, which makes travel even more challenging for me. Elyse is such an understanding, attentive, communicative caregiver. I needed to travel overseas, and Elyse worked with me ahead of time to ensure we had the best possible care plan in place for my cat. We were able to coordinate beautifully to manage my cat's health and care. This trip was so needed and so successful, and I came home to a healthy, happy cat. Thank you so much for your help, Elyse!! I cannot recommend Elyse highly enough. She's my go-to for sure.

As usual, Elyse was amazing with my crew. I came home from a long trip to be greeted by happy kitties that were well fed and cared for, which always takes such a weight off my shoulders when I have to travel. She even had my really shy girl greeting her at the door and coming up to her for attention! Elyse is always very attentive and thorough, even during shorter visits. Best cat sitter ever!

First time cat parents. First time using this service or a cat sitter. Looks like we made the right choice with Elyse! She was very thorough during our meet and greet. Asking all the right questions and even taking notes. She did an outstanding job, sent messages keeping us updated, pictures, and videos. Elyse is truly a cat whisperer.

I was very impressed by the reviews that were on this site for Elyse. It made it easier to invite her into my home to meet and care for my cat Sebastian. Elyse took the time to come by ahead of the date where she would be caring for Sebastian to meet him and help him get comfortable with her. He was at ease right away. She took care notes of the things that she needed to know, where his toys were, what treats he likes, what to feed him, etc. While I was away, she thoughtfully took pictures of the two of them playing. It put me completely at ease to leave my beloved pet in her care. She is a real gem.

Elyse did a great job caring for my senior gentleman (who has several medications and a routine) and his younger lady companion (who is a shy girl). She sent me a lot of wonderful pictures and videos that gave me peace of mind while I was gone.

Once again Elyse provides wonderful care and attention to our two cats, one of the cats has special needs. Elyse provides a text message conveying the status of care, photos and a short video that my wife and I enjoy when we are away from the cats. We highly recommend Elyse to care for your cat(s).

Our cats sitter (Elyse) came every day for 45 minutes. she fed both of our cats, cleaned up after one of the cats, played with both cats, sent photos and videos of the cats playing, she picked up the mail, and watered some of the indoor plants.

Elyse took great care of our boy. she sent several pictures and videos of their time. Could clearly tell he was happy with her here.

Elyse continues to be amazing, being flexible enough to accommodate my "bonus cat" staying with me while my friend moves. She is caring and attentive while being very thorough - the kitties always appreciate the time she spends with them! Also, she's observant enough to notice changes in a cat's demeanor. Elyse was concerned when my older cat didn't come meet her at the door, and gave me a heads up about it, which was very much appreciated.

Elyse was AMAZING! She visited promptly every day that she was scheduled, and made sure she took time to actually pay attention to the cats! No "feed, scoop, and ditch" for us, the two outgoing cats had playtime every day and I got plentiful pics. Elyse even offered to make sure the fish were fed. Every instruction was followed to the letter and the cats loved her. Maybe the most impactful of all: my painfully shy cat who never comes out when she hears any new voice not only came out to see Elyse but ALSO CHOSE TO SIT IN HER LAP. This cat barely sits in my lap, much less a new person! This tells me all I need to know about Elyse's skill as a cat sitter. 1000/10, will hire again!!

Elyse has done a wonderful job caring for Prince (15 years old) both times she has catsat him. They have become buddies. She is great at administering medication, both injection and transdermal, and helping if needed, such as cleaning the face. She takes great pictures and videos of adorable moments and play time. I will be hiring her again to take care of my fluffy little guy!

Elyse was wonderful! She was reliable and provided informative updates through the app. My cat really took to her and she did a great job administering her diabetes medication!

Elyse showed up on time taking good care of our cats. Binx is a very shy cat who runs for the basement when strangers come into our house. Binx appears to like Elyse as he plays with her and allows his picture to be taken with her.

My cats, even the really shy one, always love Elyse! She does an amazing job coming in, taking care of the tasks like food and litter, and then sitting down for pets or play time.

Elyse was amazing with my two cats, she provided many photos and videos of her playing with my cats which gave me such a peace of mind while traveling!

Elyse took fantastic care of my little fur babies as she always does. They know her so well now they come running out when she comes through the door and they are very good at posing for her pictures😁 We are ready, have her booked for the holidays. Highly recommend her.

Elyse is awesome at cat-sitting. 10/10 would recommend her. Have had her sit with my cats several times now. Great communication, knowledgeable, punctual and will go the extra mile for you and more importantly, your cats. My cats love her. Yours will too.

Elyse did a great job of keeping us informed and sending pictures she took care of our very shy cat as best as anyone could . I highly recommend her for cat sitting

This was my second time using Elyse watching my 2 cats. She did a great job taking care and sending pics daily. She quickly responded to a concern of one of my boys. I would recommend Elyse to anyone needing assurance that your pets were being properly cared for.

The cat reservation went very well. Not having used a professional cat sitting service we had our reservation moving forward with the service. We invited Elyse to come to our house and see the layout of the house and meet our two cats before the service started. We paid for the meeting but we felt that the meeting was worth it. I might add that Elyse volunteered to water our plants while we were away. This activity was above our expectations. We will try to use Elyse as our cat sitter in the future.

She did a great job checking on the cats and making sure they got their treats and play time! I always got excellent updates ,pics, and videos. This is the second time she has helped us and i will book her again !

Elyse took great care of my kitties, indoor and outdoor. My shy one eventually came out. She kept me updated with pictures and notes. I will use her services again.

This was my first time having someone not in my family check on my fur baby, so I was feeling nervous when trying to find a sitter. Then I read the reviews for Elyse and immediately felt at ease. She came over a few days before I left to meet my kitty and go over her information. Then while I was away, I received updates with pictures and video each day which was perfect. I could not recommend booking with Elyse more.

Elyse always goes above and beyond for us. Our cat loves her and Elyse always makes sure that our cat has everything she needs and then some. She is also very communicative and has even gone the extra mile of bringing in packages! She’s the best!

We couldn't be more pleased with the incredible service provided by Elyse! Throughout our trip, Elyse went above and beyond in caring for our girls. She not only took care of all the essentials but also captured professional-quality photos of our cats that we will cherish forever. The daily updates and photos were a delightful touch, allowing us to enjoy our vacation with peace of mind, knowing our cats were in such capable hands. Our cats were clearly well taken care of, happy, and relaxed when we returned. Elyse’s attention to detail, professionalism, and genuine love for animals truly set her apart. We highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a trustworthy and exceptional cat sitter!

Elyse was amazing! She carefully listened to all my care details, handled insulin injections, and made sure to keep me updated on their activities and well-being! I would definitely recommend and book again.

This is the first time we've ever left our cat with a sitter because of our worries about her needs. I would probably jump in front of a moving bus for my cat, I can't emphasize my attachment to her enough. I know most pet owners can empathize! So trust me when I say Elyse went above and beyond. She is very caring and detailed and receptive to all our requests. We went from never having traveled for 8 years without our cat to being so comforted while away by having her in Elyse's good hands. You will get detailed and adorable updates. Elyse was also very quick to respond and flexible with travel changes. Our cat also definitely took to her and was very excited for her visits! Can't recommend her enough!!

This was the first time I used Meowtel, and Elyse did a great job of reporting the same time each day, with extra clean up required each day because of bad boy(s), with some playtime, and reporting back soon after the appointment with how things went including pictures. I felt at ease knowing she was caring for my (2) boys. I highly recommend Elyse and will be choosing her for my next trip out of town.

Elyse was great at updating us on our cats! One cat is more social and she played with him and sent us lots of pics,videos and updates! She kept the litters cleaned and made sure to find our very shy cat and let us know where she saw him and gave them their treats!

Elyse did a great job watching my two cats! She was very communicative and sent lots of updates which I very much appreciated! Would book her again in the future if needed!

I was worried about leaving my cats at home for the first time but I had complete peace of mind thanks to Elyse's updates and conscientious care for my cats.

This was the first time we used this service, and Elyse made it a very nice experience! She was on top of things, consistent in her photos and feedback to us, and flexible. We would definitely hire her again!

Elyse is the perfect choice for taking care of your cat(s) while you are away. Lots of video and photos. Great communication, she is responsible and careful. My picky cats liked her the moment she stepped through the door. Probably wanted to go home with her by the end of the reservation. I highly recommend her & I will certainly look for her again next time I need a cat sitter. 10/10 recommend.

Elyse was great...would recommend for anyone having cats. She is reliable, consistant, and shares daily pics and a short update, which is reassuring when not in town.

Elyse was great. She took great care of my girls. She sent us daily updates and was very communicative. I would absolutely hire her again.

We have hired Elyse as our cat sitter for four times now. Elyse has always provided very good care for our two cats. We highly recommend Elyse as a kind and caring cat sitter.

Elyse is a great cat sitter. She has looked after my cats twice now, and it’s clear that she follows instructions and bonds well with the cats. I’d book her anytime I need a cat sitter.

Elyse does a wonderful job taking care of our cats when we leave the home for extended periods of time. Elyse will bring in the mail and any packages that are delivered. Elyse does an excellent job taking care of our cats”special needs “ cat.

My cat loved her visits with Elyse! I loved the peace of mind, cutest pictures and videos to make my days away much happier!! Thank you, Elyse!

Elyse is an exceptional person and professional pet sitter. My fur babies love her!! She’d is dependable, always on time, and is always communicating on the situation at my house and with my cats. She will always be my go to first choice.

Elyse is absolutely wonderful!!! She is kind, considerate, and helpful. I appreciate how engaged she is with Ofiela when she visits. She is flexible and understanding. I can relax and have a peacful vacation knowing Elyse is taking wonderful care of Ofelia. You simply could not ask for better care or a better person.

I would 10/10 recommend her to anyone. She removes all the stress of going out of town and provides great photos of the pets while she watches them!

Elyse is awesome!!! She takes such good care of Ofelia. I can go on a trip and know everything will be alright. I appreciate that Ofelia has some company too. She really likes Elyse.

Else did great helping my shy kitty come out of his shell:) He loved his treats and pettings

Elyse was absolutely wonderful! very attentive and patient with our 3 cats! will definitely be reaching out to her again for our next trip!

We had a wonderful experience with Elyse and using Meowtel this week. They were caring, reliable, and very communicative throughout the entire stay. We loved receiving daily updates and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear our cat was well cared for and loved. We would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to others!

This is the third time using Elyse as our cat sitter! She sent us lots of updates and took great care of our cats for us!

Elyse was fantastic! Ofelia gets lonely when I am away and is so happy to see Elyse. It is wonderful knowing Ofelia is so well cared for and so cared about.

Highly recommend this young lady. Super polite and attentive.

Elyse is the best!

As conscientious and caring a pet sitter as one could hope for.

This young woman is absolutely fantastic! I always feel confident that my fur babies are being cared for and loved by her. Will continue working with her on an ongoing basis. She’s the best.😁

Always goes out of her way to take care of our Belle!

Elyse did wonderful. My cats love her.

Great care and updates! Thank you Elyse for looking after my furbaby!

Elyse is amazing. She was a great match for us and our busy household. I would not want anyone else to care for our fur babies. Went above and beyond and we're looking forward to our next trip knowing we don't need to be anxious about leaving our kitties at home because Elyse stepped up in every possible way. This means everything to us. Thanks again! 😻
