I'm Elaine | Cat Sitting in Columbus, OH
I grew up with pets - cats specifically - my entire life. I currently have just 2 cats, but both have special needs/health issues. Over the years I have particularly sought out abandoned cats in need. Cats with disabilities. Cats who are shy or need special care. I have a love of all felines and am patient with them knowing that each has their own unique personality. With time and love you get to see the real inner personality of each cat. I have had several special needs cats in particular the last 20 years. Ones that have required medications or special care. I am comfortable giving all types of medication (pills, liquids, eye drops, ear drops & cleaning, as well as injections) as my special needs cats...

Elaine's Reviews
Izzy
Very good, booked Elaine before and she did a great job. We were happy to have her take care of Jax and Sprite again!
Izzy
Elaine took excellent care of our kitty Jax. She was very prompt and made sure to follow each of our instructions while we were out. She also gave really good updates and was willing to go the extra mile if need be. We would 100% recommend Elaine to any other cat parents looking for a sitter!!
Megan
Elaine was patient and responsive to our cats needs. She gets very anxious and afraid when we’re away and Elaine recognized her discomfort and did what she could to take care of Sprinkles. We appreciated Elaine’s updates and visits to try and make our cat feel safe. Thank you Elaine!
Vishwesh
Elaine was absolutely AMAZING with our fur babies! we were very worried about leaving our 3 month kitten and our very shy and anxious adult cat but Elaine made it so easy. Our cats instantly trusted and accepted her. They played with her and she was extremely gentle with them. We highly recommend Elaine - she is now our go to cat sitter!
Jayme

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions
Columbus cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $27.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.
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.
