Learn More About Erica

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Fill out your kitty's profile as much as possible! The more I know about your fur baby/babies, the better care I can give them! No matter what it is, if your kitty enjoys it or dislikes it, I want to know!

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Meowtel policy is that your cat/cats may not go outdoors no matter the circumstance, in case of an emergency. I really like to make sure that all doors that lead outdoors are closed, locked, and if need be, slightly opened with stomps and "pspsps" to deter your cat/cats from heading out!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! Unfortunately and fortunately I rarely travel out of state. On Christmas day in 2023, I sat a total of 8 cats in a single day! It works out as a wonderful opportunity for me financially during the holiday season!

What is your favorite cat toy?

Laser pointer, wand, and mega straws! Mega straws are an invention I created as an enrichment toy for my male tabby cat named Mama's Baby. He loves when his straw is dragged around the floor. He also loves rubbing his face on the straw.

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

I maintain a safe distance, speak in a slightly embarasing sweet baby animal voice (iykyk, lol!), and give many slow blinks! I will always make sure that I can get eyes on your kitty no matter what at every single visit, but I will never bombard or go after your kitty/kitties.

Erica was amazing!!! My Gizmo is very afraid of new people but after a couple of visits he loved her. She gave me reports every time she was at the house and lots of pictures! 10 out of 10 would recommend!

this was a fantastic service. Erica was great. My shyest cat even warmed up to her. I will definitely hire Erica again. She went above and beyond to make sure the cats were doing well. updates were great too.

She took wonderful care of my cats and sent me glamour shots of them and videos of them playing every day! It was nice having my mind at ease that someone reliable was looking out for them while I was away.

Erica was fine getting along with my cats but she was completely negligent in their care! After going over detailed written instructions at the meet and greet one week prior, and leaving them to refer to, this is what she did… day one, assumed leftover sitting wet food meant they were fed, she admitted to fluffing it up and not giving them a fresh can. She also assumed that their water was replaced. It was not ,and she thought it was perfectly okay to leave it. I gave her my phone number and instructed her to text me with any questions, she didn’t. She offered to come and feed my cats whenever they were used to eating which was 8-8:30 am then again 5-6pm. She agreed to this.After her second day morning visit ,she informed me through text that she had an event at 5 and couldn’t be there that evening until around 7-8. I wasn’t happy about it but I was already gone and what choice did I have. (p.s. at our meet and greet just a week before there was no mention she had these plans.) If I had known I would have chosen a different sitter. That evening, when I didn’t get a notification that she arrived, I texted her to ask when she was going to be there! (it was already after 8)no response… 45 minutes later she texted me “not to be upset” . Too late…My cats had already gone 13 hours without food) She said she was at a party and it just ended. She was another 30 min away. She didn’t show up until 9:15! I called support at Meowtel(who were very supportive), and they arranged for a different sitter to take over. Once Erica was told that I no longer wanted her to care for my cats, she dropped everything, left dirty bowls in my sink and left . She didn’t stay more than 15 minutes. I was in Mexico celebrating my 35th wedding anniversary and I had to deal with this for 3 hours. It ruined our evening! I will never use her again. Nothing worse than not be able to leave your babies with peace of mind. Instead of apologizing she texted me that she hopes my cats and my home will be ok! WHATT? My home?Is this a threat? Beware of this irresponsible sitter! I chose her based on her previous reviews, which were stellar . This was the first time I was using her and this is what happened to us!

Response from Erica on Jun 4, 2024 "Apologies this was your experience! I followed instructions and communicated changes promptly. Your cats were without only wet food for 9 hours. Meowtel has reviewed the situation and restored my account, confirming I met their standards. Thanks for your feedback!"

Erica was amazing! My shy boy greeted her at the door her first visit! She took the time during our meet and greet to engage him so, he didn’t hide when she came. She also stays the full time you book her for. My boys got plenty of quality play time with her. A++++ service! The boys can’t wait to see her again!

Erica did a great job of communicating and caring for my kitties. When I got home from my work trip, I was calm and they were calm, I could tell she spent a lot of quality time with them and watered my plants too (I was worried as it was getting hot) but she took care of everything! Looking forward to having her sit for my kit-kats again!

Frequently Asked Questions

Phoenix cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. 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.
