I treat my customers’ fur babies with the same attentive care I provide my own. I follow instructions to the tee and provide daily updates with photos, and I respond quickly to questions.

I offer visits for different lengths to my customer locations and I am typically available for holidays. I can offer special care such as oral or transdermal medication.

I am passionate about animal welfare and have volunteered with animal rescues for years.

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have provided caring cat care to clients, friends and neighbors for many years. I pet sat a variety of temperaments and ages.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I just love cats so much. They bring me such joy in my life. I truly enjoy taking care of my customer’s cats when they’re traveling.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have one beautiful calico cat, named Niji. She loves cuddling, chasing her laser pointer, and meal time. She gets “hangry” one hour before meal time.

We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter than Erica! She followed our exact feeding schedule, kept our space clean and checked in consistently with sweet photos and notes. We have never left our cats for a long period of time and Erica handled everything with so much care. Our cats seemed calm and well cared for upon our return and we couldnt be more grateful!

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.

Ocala cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
