Learn More About Ella

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Phineas, Philomena, and Luna! Luna is our older gal, and she's a love bug. Phineas was a street cat that found me through the cat distribution system, and Philomena is my little princess Maine Coon. All of them get along well with our 2 dogs, too.

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

I think it's important that the customer and sitter have easy, effortless communication. The sitter should really listen to determine what's most important for the customer and their cat(s). I think the sitter should also clarify the cat's needs, routines, and additional information with the customer to ensure they understand the assignment. I'm a cat mom, too... and I know how hard it is to leave them. It can be stressful and worrying to have someone new enter your home to care for your cats! Always trust your gut when it comes to interviewing a potential sitter. It's crucial that my customer feels at ease and reassured during our meet and greet. I can't put into words how valuable it is to have a sitter you can trust. I'm here to ensure that your time away is worry free!

Are you usually available during holidays?

I should be available most holidays.

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

I let the cat lead. I enter quietly and speak in a soft, sweet tone the whole time I'm there. I'll make attempts at connection, such as offering their favorite toy or treat (like Churu!), but I feel it's really important to not force anything. Cats are intelligent and sensitive. I respect them, and I think they can sense that.

Ella was an incredible cat sitter for the week+ that I was abroad. Very communicative and loving, with multiple pictures and videos each day with text updates. I will not hesitate to use Ella in the future for any of my cat sitting needs.

Ella was amazing as always! Our cats love when she comes to see them and greet her at the door. Ella always goes above and beyond to play with the cats and make sure their area is clean. We can’t wait to have her back!

Ella was amazing with our two kitties! Everyday she played with them, gave them treats and sent detailed updates. She was great with our shy cat, even to the point where our shy cat was meeting Ella at the door first when she would come by. When the cats seemed to be getting bored after a few days, Ella brought over extra brain toys to keep them entertained. Completely above and beyond! Everything was perfectly cleaned and kept up. She even helped clean up when the kitties made a mess. Ella was perfect and we can’t wait to have her back!

Lauren

I recommend Ella without reservation! Don’t look any further, just hire her! She did a fantastic job with our cats in terms of play, feeding, litter box, grooming, and sent us updates and photos every time (twice a day)! When we returned from our trip, our two cats didn’t seem stressed at all; it was as if we had only been gone for a few hours. Ella even helped us with our mail and packages and vacuumed, which was definitely not required! For reference, we have a Maine Coon and a domestic shorthair and feed raw, so she had her work cut out for her!

Everything went great! I appreciated Ella’s regular updates and photos. My cats tend to be quite shy, but she was at least able to coax them out for a few photos.

Ella did a wonderful job with our two shy kitties, making sure they were located each time she went and that there was plenty of food and water (even when our automatic one stopped working). Would definitely book again when needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dallas cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $26.00. 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.
