Cat Sitting in Cleveland, OH
If you choose me to look after your cat, I’ll ensure they are comfortable and well cared for! I know it’s important to minimize stress as much as possible, and ... Hi! My name is Mikaela and I currently work as a lab quality analyst during the day. I love all cats and feel that I am very attentive to their body language to see how they want to be treated. For this reason, cats always seem to gravitate towards me :).
If you choose me to look after your cat, I’ll ensure they are comfortable and well cared for! I know it’s important to minimize stress as much as possible, and will do my best to follow their normal routine. If your cat loves cuddles and affection, I’m more than happy to provide that, but will also respect their wishes if they want to be left alone as well.
I am generally available weekday evenings after 8pm. On the weekends I’m very flexible. I’m in the Edgewater area and am able to travel to surrounding areas as well. Please feel free to reach out with any questions!
Learn More About Mikaela
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
My partner and I have three kitties, Jasper, who is 1 year old and very playful, Lyla who is 10 years old and more reserved, and Saeris, our new kitten :).
What is your favorite cat toy?
My cats favorite toys are wand toys with feathers on the end! They love to chase them around and have very good hunting instincts.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I treat timid and anxious cats very carefully and never pressure them into interacting with me. I find this often makes the cat want to retreat even more. Instead, I try to make my behavior and voice as calm and predictable as possible. I let the cat smell my hand and sit patiently with them to see if they want to interact further. If not, that’s ok, I can always try again later, but I make sure to give them their space.

Mikaela did a great job cat sitting for us. She followed my instructions and made sure to scoop the litter and feed the cats each day, as well as play with them. She sent pictures of them each day and told me of any updates. I would hire her again :)

Mikaela went above and beyond caring for our cats during an extended vacation. She made sure they were well-fed, spent time with them, refreshed their water regularly, cleaned the litter boxes, and kept everything tidy. It was clear she treated them with love and attention. Mikaela is reliable, thoughtful, and truly passionate about animals. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and trustworthy cat sitter!

This was our first time using Meowtel and we were very pleased with Mikaela and how easy it was to communicate. There was a day that Mikaela couldn’t make it to visit our kitty because of a snow storm and she swiftly requested a refund for us. Overall - we were happy with the service and would definitely book again.

Meowtel is a marketplace that connects cat parents with independent sitters. For eligible reservations booked and paid for through Meowtel, the Meowtel Promise explains how we support cat parents if something unexpected comes up.
If it doesn't feel like a purrfect fit after a Meet & Greet or during a reservation, our support team is here to help at 1-844-Meowtel (1-844-636-9835). We'll take time to understand what happened and help you consider next steps, which could include help with a new reservation.
Cleveland cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. Prices depend on visit duration (20, 45, or 60 minutes) and whether you need drop-in visits or overnight stays.
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. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend booking daily visits to keep your cats in their routine and help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each visit typically includes: feeding, refreshing water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, and any special requests. Ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet!

Mikaela adores cats. She felt like the luckiest person to be her cat Fern’s mom. She is attentive to individual cat’s needs and preferences in terms of appetite and play. She’ll ensure your cat gets what it needs and wants while you’re away. I wouldn’t be worried trusting Mikaela with my cat, Winnie, and I’m an anxious girly. Mikaela will communicate well with you before, during, and after her pet-sitting responsibilities. She will follow your care plans to the T and ask the questions she needs to ensure your cat gets the best care.

I think Mikaela would make a great cat sitter because she is patient and kind and cats always love her and I know that she loves them just as much. I think she would treat anyone’s cat with the same amount of love that they would give their own cat.
