Learn More About Eleni

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy building trust and connecting with each cat’s unique personality. It’s so rewarding to offer comfort, care, and consistency while their humans are away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I’m also a proud cat mom to Rodney, my sweet 15-year-old black cat. He’s been with me through thick and thin, and caring for him has taught me so much about patience and the unique needs of senior cats. Rodney’s a little quirky, very wise, and still full of personality- just like so many of the cats I love sitting for!

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

I start by learning as much as I can about your cat’s personality, routine, medical needs, and preferences. I like to schedule a meet-and-greet to connect with both you and your cat, answer any questions, and go over care instructions in detail. During the sit, I provide regular updates so you know your kitty is happy and well cared for. My goal is to make the experience stress-free for both you and your cat.

Eleni took wonderful care of my kitty. She was communicative by sending messages and photos daily. I would recommend her to anyone! My very shy kitty was loving her up by the end of services.

Eleni was so kind and loving to our babies! She sent us great updates, the cats were fed perfectly, and she even cleaned up the litter our kitties tracked across the floor! Thankful to have her help over the holidays.

Eleni was absolutely outstanding. This was our first big trip away from the little guys so we were apprehensive about leaving them alone for such a long time. But as soon as we met Eleni, I knew the kitties were going to be given excellent care. She was prompt with communication and sent us great updates. Will definitely rebook her for our next trip!

Eleni was an amazing caregiver for our two cats. They have some special needs, and she was diligent about medication and other special care. She sent us detailed updates and pictures to give us peace of mind while we were gone. We highly recommend Eleni!!

I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received! When I came home, my cat wasn’t mad at me at all — no meowing, no attitude — just a sweet “oh hello” and lots of cuddles. She ate well while I was gone and was calm and happy, which says everything about the quality of care she received. It’s clear she felt comfortable and loved the entire time, and I’m so grateful she had such a positive experience. I will 100% be booking again — my cat definitely got the royal treatment!

I’m a returning customer and once again had such a great experience. I knew my cat was happy, safe, and truly cared for the entire time. It’s so clear how much she loves my cat, and that peace of mind is priceless. I feel incredibly lucky to have someone I trust completely to take care of her. Highly recommend!

I trust Eleni with my fur babies more than anyone else! She is reliable, consistent, gentle, has great communication skills and loves my pets. She treats them as well as I do, which is saying a lot, and I’m so lucky to know her!

Eleni is an absolute gem! She cared for my anxious cat like her own, administering medication with patience and even sending adorable photo updates to ease my mind while I was away. Her experience and calm demeanor turned a stressful trip into a worry-free experience. I came home to a happy, healthy cat - and a meticulously clean space. Eleni goes above and beyond, and I wouldn’t trust anyone else!

Frequently Asked Questions

San Diego cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 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.
