I'm Elaine | Cat Sitting in San Francisco, CA
I'm an events director, and I live in San Francisco with my three cats and child (who thinks she is a cat). My life is all cats all the time! I have experience with cats of all ages (my previous cat lived until she was 20). I love all interactions with cats - playing, snuggling, brushing, feeding, and just hanging out. I have extensive practice with feeding picky eaters (like my own furry friends at home), and with administering medication via pill (including chemo), injection, and transdermally. I'm responsible, punctual, reliable, friendly, and I believe cats are family members and treat them as such. I have a particular soft spot for grumpy cats who secretly have hearts of gold.

Elaine's Reviews

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. 😻

This is our second time having Elaine watch our cats. She is really amazing! This time our shy boy warmed up and it was great to see the pictures of him playing. She understands and truly likes cats and that comes through in each of her updates.

Elaine is absolutely wonderful! Just a Purrfect Cat Sitter! I feel confident that when Elaine cares for my kitty, she is in good hands. Elaine is caring, reliable, loving, keeps me informed of how my kitty is doing. I am sooo happy to have found Elaine.

We are so grateful and appreciative to have Elaine as our regular cat sitter for our sweet Luna. She takes such excellent care of her every time and Luna adores her—they have a special bond as Elaine has cared for Luna since she was a tiny kitten, and she is so good with her. We feel so comforted and reassured knowing Luna is in Elaine’s thoughtful and thorough care!

Elaine did an amazing job taking care of my cat Larry during a weekend away. she kept him company, made sure he took his medication, and ensured he wasn’t too lonely while we were away!

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
