Learn More About Eli

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love watching and interacting with cats in their natural habitat (home), helping to let them know they’re loved in their beloveds’ absence, and really enjoy building camaraderie with them over time, especially when they are initially distrusting and/or anxious.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I currently have two cats: Darwin (aka Doosh) and Wallace (aka Baby), who are both rescues from my community. I spend most hours in my day (when home) talking to them.

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

As always, it depends on the circumstances and the individual. Ideally, I’d prefer to meet the cat prior to their parent’s departure so they recognise that I’m accepted (by the parent). Once on our own, I first try to spend moments of time in the cat’s (general) vicinity, where I’ll chat with them a bit, not overly asserting eye or body contact, with the hopes that they elect to investigate me on their terms. In their company, I use slow movements, soft walking, and a gentle voice.

Eli was a fantastic sitter for our cat kids. We were away for a week and she sent me updates and photos twice a day. She came to our house to meet us and our cats before our trip and she really listened about the cats likes\dislikes and took a genuine interest in them. I can't recommend Eli enough!!

This was my first time using Meowtel. I couldn’t have had a better experience. I think my cat may have crushed out on sitter Eli. 😻

Eli has been a caregiver, educator, and source of inspiration for me in my relationship with cats for over thirty years. She is the one who first introduced me to the amazing world of cats, and has been my go-to source for care and information in my role guardianship and companion to them ever since. Her knowledge and love goes deep beneath the skin to encompass her entire being. If there is such a thing as a “cat whisperer”, Eli is that person... and the cats know it!

Eli is one of the most reliable and compassionate cat sitters we’ve ever had. She has cared for our four cats—each with different diets, needs, and personalities—many times, always providing attentive and consistent care. One of our elderly, vocal cats bonded closely with her, and she continued to ask about him even after each visit ended. She was also exceptionally patient and careful with our cat who has anxiety and requires daily medication, making sure she received her dose calmly and on schedule. Eli’s empathy, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals make her an excellent choice for anyone seeking a trusted cat sitter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Jackson 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 $21.00. 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.
