Learn More About Elaina

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a kitty named Margot. She is my second cat, I adopted her in March after my first kitty, Luna, passed away from cancer.

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

I would like to meet with the parents and the kitty(ies) first to see how everyone reacts to me in the home. I also want to learn about kitty’s routine - what/when do they eat, where is the litter box, and where are their toys. I also want to know about any emergency contacts and medications.

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

I try to keep things the same as how the cat parents left it before they went away. If they kept certain doors closed/locked those will remain that way unless they inform me otherwise. I won’t bring any other foods or items into the home that the kitty could get into. And I will make sure that the kitty(ies) don’t have access to anything unnecessary.

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love a laser toy. Both of my cats have always loved to play with lasers and I love to see them run around trying to catch the light.

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

I will try to coax kitty out with treats and if they let me give them head scratches then I will do that as well. Having two very anxious cats, I have learned that you have to let them ultimately decide if they are going to participate.

Elaina has taken amazing care of both her cats and treated my cat as her own. She was respectful of my space and provided my cat with loving care. Although I didn’t need it, it was comforting to know Elaina also had experience administering medication.

Elaina recently watched my cat, Ollie, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! She was attentive, kind, and super communicative, sending daily photos, videos, and little updates. As a cat owner herself, she knows exactly how to care for cats and spent extra time playing with Ollie, giving him attention, and keeping him company so he never felt lonely. She kept his litter box clean, and when he was sick, she cleaned everything up and made sure he was okay. When I got home, everything was neat and Ollie was happy and relaxed. I would definitely trust her again and highly recommend her to others!

Frequently Asked Questions

Allston cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel completes a background check. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can feel comfortable with 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
