Hi I'm Elaine, a life long cat lover available for jobs in Brooklyn and Manhattan. Now offering a 10% discount for all first time clients! For the last 15 years I've been the primary caregiver to my adorable rescues, Toetoe and Meeker. Toetoe is a confident, adventurous boy with a bit of a bullying streak, while Meeker is a shy girl who takes her time warming up to people. They've taught me that no two cats are alike and how to figure out each one's needs. There's nothing more beautiful and satisfying to me than figuring out how to befriend a new feline. I once spent two and a half years patiently wooing a friend's cat until I was their best friend. I have an endless supply of love for the cats of the world and look forward to sharing it with my clients. As the parent to two elderly cats I have experience managing all sorts of behavioral and medical issues. This includes an extensive experience with a variety of medication methods such as oral pills (both hidden in food and given directly), oral liquids, eye/ear drops and to...

Abigail
Elaine takes such great care of my four cats and they all love her!
Kayla
My 2 cats loved Elaine. They both warmed to her very quickly (and they tend to be shy) and loved time with her. She was able to tire out my very active kitten and I was kept updated with photos and videos throughout her time with them. Would absolute recommend Elaine!

Frequently Asked Questions
The average price for a cat sitter is $32.00.
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.
