Learn More About Elyla

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

I have been doing cat sitting since the summer of 2018. I’ve done simple care from changing litter and feeding all the way to insulin or allergy shots. I’ve taken care of kittens to senior cats and give them all my best care possible as if they were my own!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I like to see the different types of cats that people own. I’ve had clients with big Maine coons and cats similar to mine but with different patterns. I also like to see the different types of toys, scratchers, food and treats that clients give to their cat to see how I can provide more for my own cats.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I have no one favorite client or booking really just a preference for the cat to be playful! Otherwise I feel like I am not doing my job. I do try to be understanding that each and every cat has their own unique personality.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three cats of my own all named after Studio Ghibli characters. My first cat, Princess Mononoke, Noke for short is my only girl cat. Kohaku or Haku was my second cat, a tuxedo boy cat. Then my third is Baron Hubert von Gikkigen from the Cat Returns is also a boy cat but is an orange problem child. I rescued him off of the streets from being left behind by renters.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

I recommend visits at least every other day for the duration of the booking. I will not accept any longer than that from a personal experience with a family friend who lost a cat after being left alone too long.

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

For cats I simply just ask what are the feeding schedules and about litter being cleaned. I also always double check about any medications and what kind of treats will be available. I don’t require a meet and greet but they are highly recommended!

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

I am always quick coming in and out to avoid any escape artists. Also for shy cats even if they are in hiding I always put eyes on them before leaving the visit for both personal assurance as well as for the client.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Any type of teaser or chaser wand because any cat goes for those compared to other toys that I have tried.

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

I primarily just give them their space. I take care of food and litter and then try to sit near the area they are in with treats but I don’t force interaction.

Smooth meetup and visits. Elyla sent very detailed texts, pics and videos of our cats, and proactively solved some issues we left behind. Highly recommended!

Elyla is a wonderful cat sitter! She is so communicative, giving detailed updates with each visit, complete with photos and videos. My kitten had fun playing with her, and my shy older cat even made a few appearances (usually he hides when people come over). I came home to a nice, clean house and two happy kitties. I will definitely have Elyla back!

Elyla did a wonderful job looking after our two fur babies! GREAT communication prior to, during and right after our trip. Both cats (even our Stranger-Danger one) decided to like her and let her play with and love on them so that’s all we needed to see! Will book again with Elyla for sure!

Elyla took really great care of our two cats while we were gone on a long vacation. She did everything to charm them but I think they were mad I left for so long…she sent pictures, gave info on what she did at each visit. All in all fantastic!

Elyla was great! She did everything she said she would do and what we asked of her. We really appreciate her care for administering food and medication.

This is my second time booking Elyla, and as a Meowtel sitter myself, I have high expectations! Elyla gave thorough updates with lots of pictures of her interactions with my cats. She even cleaned up the mess one of my angels made by knocking a plant off the counter.

Elyla provided very thorough updates on how my cats were doing and how they spent their time together. She tried hard to engage with my shy cat and entice her to come out for her treat. She also sent lots of great pictures. I would definitely book with her again!

Elyla came by and took photos of my babies throughout her visit and would send them to me with a full report. She made friends with one of our shy cats. She also called when she found a leak in the water bowl and fixed the issue until we got home. She made sure our senior cat got her meds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Seattle cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $29.00. 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.
