I'm Elaine | Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY
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 topical skin creams. I'm also experienced at managing cones and other neck collars. My kitties mean the world to me and I've seen first hand how much of a difference a quality pet sitter can make. I'm...
Elaine's Reviews
Liz
Elaine took great care of my elderly cat and I had such peace of mind while I was out of town! She did an extremely thorough intake with me before I left; she even made sure to ask where I stored the carrier in case Judith needed to go to the vet while in her care. Elaine will be my first choice for my next trip!
Layna
Elaine is really great - she charmed our pathologically shy cats and sent wonderful pictures.
Natalie
I can’t recommend Elaine enough! Not only did she take care of the basic necessities such as feeding and litter box cleaning, but she also took the time to engage with my cat, providing companionship and playtime. It was evident that my cat formed a bond with them, which speaks volumes about their compassionate approach. She included sweet updates about my cat and provided lots of photos. I will for sure be using her again in the future!
Jerry
Elaine is a great cat sitter for our two boys. She sends great updates and photos, and plays with the boys so they are not lonely. It can be challenging to feed our two boys, since they are v competitive w/each other for food. Elaine is v reliable and kind to the boys!
Leslie
I tried to only pick a few badges, but ended up selecting all nine of them because frankly they all apply. Elaine was fantastic! Excellent communicator, diligent, clearly had fun playing with my kitties, followed all instructions, was respectful and professional, etc. I can't think of a single complaint. Five stars. :)

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.
