Cat Sitting in Long Beach, CA

Hi! I'm Erin (they/them). I have loved cats since the day I was born 😸 I grew up with three cats of my own and have always felt a deep connection with them (sometimes more than people). I live with two sweet kitties named Punchy and Ripley. I work to give them good lives!

My cat sitting career began when I was 11, when my mom's coworker asked me to give his kitties extra love while he was away. Since then I have been asked to cat sit by teachers, co-workers, and supervisors because am I known for both loving cats and being responsible and reliable. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby with a stranger, so I will make sure to keep you updated with photos and a detailed status report at...

I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby with a stranger, so I will make sure to keep you updated with photos and a detailed status report at every visit!

I have cared for elderly and disabled kitties that required ear drops, eye drops, oral medications, insulin injections, and skin treatments. I love every kitty no matter their needs!

I grew up in East Long Beach and moved back to be close to my family after ten years in Portland, two of which I spent cat sitting full-time. I'm excited to be home and meet new kitties!

In addition to cat sitting, I have a full time job as a website developer. I occasionally do drag on the weekends too! I'm passionate about a million and one things, but cats will always be at the top of the list 😉

I am fully vaccinated and boosted for COVID-19 and am happy to wear a KN95 mask during meet and greets if preferred. I am careful about my own health and want to respect your health and space as well!

Need a cat sitter in Long Beach? You can trust that Erin the Cat Bestie will be responsible, reliable, and give your kitties the attention you know they deserve. Book me now for the ideal kitty vacation!

Learn More About Erin

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to know every kitty's unique personality! They're all such individuals and it's so much fun to see them get comfortable with me.

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

I always check outside doors as I'm coming and going to make sure kitties don't escape and will alert you ASAP of any safety concerns I notice!

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

I let them set the pace of our interactions. I like to let the kitty know that I'm there and offer a sniff, but if the kitty doesn't want to hang out I will sit nearby and let the kitty come to me.

Erin made leaving our kittens for the first time so much easier! They’re four months old and one required medication. Erin handled everything so well, and sent so many updates. I am so grateful!

My partner and I were very nervous to leave our senior cat for a long trip overseas, but Erin made the entire experience a breeze from start to finish! Our cat relies on oral medication twice a day - Erin handled it easily and with great communication. I really appreciated their detailed written update and photos for every visit, which gave us so much peace of mind and comfort when we were so far away. Erin is great with our cat and also very professional and responsible. We will definitely ask Erin to watch our sweet kitty in the future.

Had another great visit with Erin! This time we added a couple more cats to our brood and in addition to Erin remembering all of the very specific details we’ve laid out for them on the existing cats, Erin also did a great job of accommodating our new additions. What we ask of Erin is no easy task (feeding guidelines, so many meds, etc) and we’re so grateful for the peace that their services bring us while we’re away from home. I literally don’t know what we do without Erin.

This was my second time booking with Erin to care for my cat, Chicken. He is a finicky senior cat with medication needs and some shyness around strangers, but Erin was able to charm him! He was very happy and well cared for when I returned from my trip. Erin also provides lots of pictures and text updates which were much appreciated!

Erin did a fantastic job watching my two kitties while I was out of town! I've never gone through an app like this (I've always had friends take care of my pets) so I was really worried something would go wrong. But Erin took great care of my cats with daily drop-ins, photos and updates! They went above and beyond and I'll absolutely be using their services again.

While we were in Australia on vacation, the unthinkable happened and we lost one of our beloved pets. Erin went way above and beyond for us and was instrumental in helping us. She spent so much of her time to help us and comfort us. I cannot tell you how grateful we are that we have Erin because no one else would have been as helpful. Erin is, by far, the best choice for our family. All of our pets love her!!! They all come out to greet her… and they don’t just do that for anyone. Animsls know good people… and Erin is just that!!! We are eternally grateful to her!

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.

Long Beach cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $33.00. 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!
