Cat Sitting in Sacramento, CA
I just moved back to Sacramento! I’m sad to leave my regular kitty clients back in Seattle but am looking forward to meeting your Sacramento kitties!
I live near Sac... I grew up with many cats from all walks of cat life. I'm currently owned by a 8yo squishy cross-eyed panther named Magnus and his baby sister, Ivy!
I just moved back to Sacramento! I’m sad to leave my regular kitty clients back in Seattle but am looking forward to meeting your Sacramento kitties!
I live near Sac State and I’ll meet with you prior to the start of your trip to meet your kitties, and I will send pictures and updates from each visit. (I probably have more pictures of clients’ cats in my phone than of my own at this point!)
Please feel free to ask me any questions. I look forward to meeting your cats! -Erica
Learn More About Erica
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I grew up with ~15 cats and have experienced almost every ailment possible. A life without cats is boring. I've been catsitting for friends for years, but I've been catsitting with Meowtel off and on since 2019!
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
I sat for an older cat who ostensibly didn't like other people besides her owner but we grew to become best buds. She would greet me when I sat for her. Carrot's owner let me know when she passed even. She'd had a great, long life!
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have Magnus, a very shy, former tomcat rescue from Seattle Humane who now sleeps on my face, and Ivy, a very sassy calico who can meow in very high octaves. Her fave thing to do is go into the bathroom cabinet and scream, which I get.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
I would suggest if you have a diabetic cat that you board them. It’s a service I used to provide on this app but no longer because it’s much too serious a condition to rely on a sitter after some negative (but successful) experiences.
Are you usually available during holidays?
I am usually available, yes.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I usually let these cats come to me. I will remain still and quiet and maybe try to talk to them quietly. I'll put out my hand a little too if they approach so they can check my scent before approaching any further. It usually works and there's nothing like winning over a shy, anxious cat. It's the best feeling.

(TLDR at bottom) I found myself in need of a cat sitter a few weeks back on short notice and came across Erica’s profile. After initially reaching out she was very responsive, and we quickly scheduled a date for her to meet my cats (11 month old twin girls) and cover general care instructions. She was very thorough and made sure to ask deep questions to understand my cats personalities and care habits which I greatly appreciated. While I was gone I received daily photos and updates. My kittens are extremely energetic so I was worried that they would get sad without a consistent presence, however those fears quickly dissipated. Erica made sure to spend loads of play time with them while maintaining their litter box, auto/interactive feeders, wet food schedule and she even my plants! The photos she sent of them playing with her and their favorite toys were a great touch! I truly can’t thank Erica enough for taking care of my kittens while I was gone and I am really greatful for how attentive she was to them and their habits during her visits!! TLDR: Erica is a sensational cat sitter who I would strongly recommend to anyone. She responds quickly, takes great photos, and was a pleasure to coordinate with!

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
- Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

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.
Sacramento cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!

Erica did an awesome job looking after our kitty--she lovingly and faithfully checked in on our young cat and demonstrated the ability to work through challenges (encountered due to my disorganization!) with creativity and an awesome attitude.

Erica is such a great kitty whisperer. She’s been caring for my elderly cats for several years now and can handle whatever medication and food requirements they have at any given moment. She’s especially great with my shy kitty, and provides such peace of mind when I’m gone. Her updates (with photos!) always leave me feeling stress-free when I’m away. 10/10 would recommend Erica to watch your precious kitties!

This was our first time having Erica watch our cats and everything went perfectly. Our kitties were well cared for, Erica provided excellent updates and pictures, and I could tell our cats enjoyed their time with her. She even got our shy kitty to come out of her shell, no small feat! We happily recommend Erica for your cat-sitting needs!

Erica took wonderful care of my cat George while I was gone for the weekend! She is reliable, responsible, and proactive. I received texts and pictures from each of her visits, which reassured me that he was in good hands and allowed me to rest easy on my vacation. Erica provided a report on George's eating and playing and even asked if I'd noticed something about his claws, which I later discussed with my vet. I will definitely be booking Erica again!

Erica was a life saver! All my normal cat sitters had fallen through last minute and when I reached out to Erica she didn't hesitate to add my kitty to her already long list of kittys to take care of that weekend. She followed Bare's care instructions to the letter and sent me pics and updates all weekend long. <3

Erica was awesome! To start, I booked her on very short notice and she was extremely accommodating to my schedule. She met with both of our fur babies and was attentive to the feeding routine that we went through. During our trip, she send many, many photos and made sure to keep us updated every step of the way. We'll absolutely be booking her again, thank you!
