We were anxious to leave Luna for the longest time yet (2 weeks) but Elaine took incredible care of her. Elaine was so reassuring and kept us updated with details of each daily visit and lots of great pictures capturing funny and sweet moments of Luna enjoying wet food/treats and getting pets and playtime. We are so grateful to have Elaine as our regular sitter since Luna was a kitten and really appreciate how Elaine remembers all the details of Luna’s care. Elaine truly loves and cares for Luna and we know Luna is so comforted by that and the routines they have together when we are away. Elaine was also very helpful when we were worried about our landlord/maintenance unexpectedly having to enter our apartment and made sure to reassure us that Luna wasn’t too scared. Also another day when Luna was hiding and anxious Elaine was able to find her and calm her. We just couldn’t be more grateful for Elaine!

Elaine was great! Our shy boy was not shy at all with her. She navigated our alarm without issue. Everything was tidy when we returned. Her posts were full of pictures so we could see that both cats were doing well. Elaine is also extremely pleasant, highly recommend!

Elaine did a great job with our very shy kitties, she was patient with them, cared for them, and provided us with daily updates while we were away. We really appreciated our interactions with her, and would absolutely work with her again if another opportunity comes up. Thank you for all of your help!

Elaine was an absolutely incredible cat sitter. I get pretty anxious about being away from my kitty Rauw, so it was really important to me to find someone that I could feel safe knowing that Rauw was in good hands, and Elaine did exactly that. She was very meticulous about ensuring that all of Rauws needs were met (food, litter, LOTS of playtime, etc) and she sent me sooooooo many pictures, which always warmed my heart. Thank you Elaine

As always, we're so glad Elaine was able to look after our kitties this time. Our cats can be shy, but they warm right up to her. We know they'll be happy to get to see her, and she always sends great pics.

Elaine was fabulous! Took a little while for our senior cat to warm up to her, but we had no concerns when we were away. Sadie was fed, received her daily meds, litter boxes cleaned, fresh water every visit, regular pics & updates. Plants watered... everything was great! Will definitely use her again.

Elaine was absolutely incredible with my two kitties and had managed to coax them into friendship before we even ended the meet and greet! She made sure to give them lots of play and went above and beyond to keep them entertained (which is hard with Bengals!). I think they were disappointed when it was me walking in the door when I got home 😆Will definitely be hiring her again!

Elaine is so good with my little guy. He is pretty shy and quite anti social when we are not around and she manages to get him out of his hiding spot, every time. It is hard to leave him but we always know he is going to be in great hands with Elaine.

I’ve used Elaine a few times now for week long+ trips. She does an incredible job! My feline friend is very shy and never greets anyone at the door, except Elaine. When I return home Ollie is happy, litter box is clean, etc. Elaine is super responsible, great/easy communication. Would absolutely recommend Elaine! She’s the best. 😻

Best cat-sitter ever! Elaine is sincerely the best cat-sitter we have ever had. We have high-maintenance pandemic cats, and arranged for her to visit twice a day. She obviously loves cats and gave our fur babies so much care and attention they undoubtedly got more playtime with her than they do when we are at home. She handled the alarm system with no problems and stayed for all or more of the agreed-upon time for every visit, and sent us updates and tons of super cute photos. One of our cats is extremely shy, and she won his heart before our trip was over. Her care and expertise allowed us to really relax and enjoy our vacation, and come back to happy kitties and no anxiety-induced litter catastrophes. Thank you Elaine!

We could not be happier with Elaine! Our kitties were 100% unsocialized before our trip (due to being raised during Covid), and not only was Elaine able to coax them out of hiding, within a few visits she had them enthusiastically playing around even more than they do with us! Her attention to detail is impeccable, and met their needs perfectly -- and the photos she sent us were absolutely amazing. (Elaine could easily start a side career as an animal photographer!) Highly, highly recommend.

But Elaine really went above and beyond with Luna! we would definitely rebook with her knowing Luna would be in great hands :)

Elaine is the most reliable, thoughtful and thorough cat sitter we could have ever imagined. Elaine kindly made room in her schedule to take on our request as a new client when we unexpectedly had to leave town on short notice. We were so nervous to leave our kitten Luna for the first time, but Elaine was so reassuring and attentive. She remembered every detail we were worried about, making sure to take care of all those things (and more!) and sharing detailed updates with us after each visit that gave us so much comfort. She even noticed when one of Luna’s toys was starting to get chewed through and switched it out with a new one, which we so appreciated (Luna tries to eat everything!) We were so happy to see so many of Elaine’s wonderful pictures of Luna that beautifully captured so many cute moments and showed the full range of Luna’s personality, from her sweet loving self to her crazy kitten play mode! We could tell Luna was herself and really loved Elaine and that Elaine genuinely cared for Luna and made sure to keep her safe and happy. She made us feel so comforted knowing Luna was doing well and getting such full visits with lots of pets, playtime, her favorite foods/treats, fresh water, and clean litter. We are so grateful to Elaine for going above and beyond taking such amazing care of Luna, and we plan to be repeat clients (Luna misses her already!)

Elaine is simply the best. She has been our regular cat sitter for over a year now. We really appreciate how reliable, thoughtful and caring she always is. She has known our Luna since she was a tiny kitten and she truly understands her, has a special bond with her, and remembers every odd detail to take the best care of her. Luna is a needy girl so we worry when we have to leave her, but being able to have Elaine care for her brings us such peace of mind.

Elaine is simply the best cat sitter I could ask for! She provides regular updates and sends the cutest pictures, which always put my mind at ease while I'm away. My kitty, who is a bit needy for pets, clearly feels so comfortable and happy in her care. Every time I return home, my cat is relaxed and content, and I can tell she’s been well taken care of. I highly recommend Elaine to anyone looking for a reliable and loving pet sitter!

Frequently Asked Questions

San Francisco cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $37.00. 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.
