Elijah was wonderful. I was worried about traveling because my cat had recently been sick, but they made me feel comfortable and provided updates after every visit so I knew Paco (my cat) was okay. Paco warmed up to them immediately and got lots of play and cuddle time. I think he misses them because he sometimes sits at the door thinking someone is going to come home!

Eli was great! Made sure our kitty's water and food bowls were always full and even washed them. Eli played with him and also sent multiple pictures so we could see our little guy. Couldn't recommend Eli more! (:

Elijah is an amazing pet sitter! My cat (Hawk) has an injury from a prior life that required surgery at the Michigan Humane Society. Elijah listened closely on our first meeting and made note of everything, anticipating that Hawk might need some additional care based on his injury from a prior life. During the actual stay, Elijah was thorough and detailed, letting me know the status on Hawk in addition to his litter and food. Hawk has a few extra steps regarding his food, which Elijah took great care in providing. Elijah also took great care in cleaning out Hawk's litter and water bowl during the stay. With the photo and text updates, I didn't worry once. In fact, I think Hawk and Elijah have become best friends!! If you are in need of a pet sitter, I would absolutely recommend Elijah. If you have a special needs cat, there is nobody better than Elijah either. His attention to detail, prompt communication, and love for animals make him the best of the best among pet sitters.

I would highly recommend Elijah to watch your kitties! We were new to Meowtel, and normally arrange for family or friends to watch our cats. We wanted to try a service so we didn't have to do all the work to arrange a sitter. We tried out Elijah based on his good reviews and were not disappointed. Scheduling was very easy on the website, and we selected one 20 minute in the AM and 45 minute in the PM each day so our 2 cats would have some play time. We had a meet and great and he came over to meet the cats and see their routine, food location, etc. While we were gone Elijah checked in at each visit, sent photos and descriptions of how the cats were doing. He had listened at our introduction and remembered the care instructions we gave him. We have an older cat who is a picky eater and he made sure he ate at each visit. He also gave the younger cat play time, and cleaned the litter daily. He sent pictures of the cats eating, playing, and relaxing, as well as pictures showing he cleaned the litter box. He even cleaned up a dead mouse, which was very unexpected! This gave us a comfort level that the cats were well taken care of. The cats seems to warm right up to Elijah and I would definitely have Elijah back at our next trip.

Elijah was great! He was able to manage my elderly ginger cat's meds and also befriend my young scaredy cat! He was kind and communicative. He sent pictures and updates. I am very happy to find a cat sitter like Elijah and will definitely request him again!

Elijah did a great job taking care of Gus! He wasn’t the happiest cat this weekend so Elijah responded to his body language and gave him space as needed but still gave him attention! Very prompt responses, detailed, etc! We would book him again and recommend you to book Elijah!

Frequently Asked Questions
Royal Oak 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 $28.00. 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.
