I am a true cat lover with 4 cats on my own! I have lived with cats my entire life and know how to speak the cat language. I have helped my own cats, my family’s cats, and stray cats with feeding, grooming, and giving medication.

I am a very calm and friendly person with many cats picking up on that energy and quickly becoming comfortable. I can also match the energy of most cats! If you have a very playful kitten, I love to play with them. If you have a more reserved senior cat, I can also respect their space and let them feel at peace.

Learn More About Erica

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have four indoor cats that have all been eithr adopted or rescued! Stevie is the oldest. She is 5 years old and is a short haired calico. Then I have Ween and Fern! They are 2 years old and siblings from the same litter! They are both long haired cats. My newest addition is Jean! She is about 6 months right now and I rescued her and her siblings! I kept her, but all the others went to loving homes.

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

I treat every home and pet like they are my own. I prioritize the pet and the homes safety by always following the exact instructions given by the owner! Cat sitting also requires house sitting, so double checking the house status is always a must.

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

I have met so many timid and anxious cats that I think the best thing to do is give them their space. A little bribery with treats helps, but I first need to show that I am not a threat. I have a very calm energy so I let that create a safe and calm space.

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.

Riverside cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!
