Cat Sitting in Sacramento, CA

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 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.

Erica did a great job taking care of our little ones! She sent lots of great pictures and played with them for so long, she really tired out our little guy that needs a little more play time. Would book her again!!

(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!

Erica did such a good job caring for our kitties! We have a very shy skittish one and Erica had her practically eating out of her hand. 10/10 would recommend!

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 $30.00. 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!
