What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Please make sure you do your due diligence when hiring anyone that’s going to enter your home. Ask the appropriate questions such as their problem solving skills, their experience with handling cats and their schedules so that you have a clear understanding who you are hiring.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes I am! I tend to work every holiday and working holidays with cats is very easy and a lot more flexible.

What is your favorite cat toy?

The laser pointers. I really love using the lasers to play with my cat clients because it’s so cute and funny to watch them chase the light. Also, it’s cool to watch their hunting instincts kick in!

Erika was an incredible sitter for our cats! she was really communicative with us and sent lots of videos and photos, gave the cats ample play time, and was great with giving our Winnie her asthma puff. the best part is how quickly our cats fell in love with her! 1000% would hire her again :)

Erika was absolutely fantastic! She arrived promptly every day to take care of my fur babies, ensuring their feedings and litter cleaning were handled efficiently. Her punctuality played a crucial role in helping my girls feel secure and minimize any stress during my absence. I truly appreciated her commitment to communication as she sent updates after each visit. This transparency allowed me to know exactly what was happening at home while I was away. To top it off, she shared adorable pictures and videos of my cats, which I absolutely loved. It was heartwarming to see how they started to warm up to her over the days! Given this wonderful experience, I will definitely be hiring Erika again in the future for my cat sitting needs.

My husband and I first time using this app and Erika has treated our Nico like the princess she us. Every instruction was followed to the T day by day. She was so attentive to our sweet girl she even brought up something with her eyes which i didn't notice until Erika told me. Nico immediately warmed up to her and i was getting plenty of updates. Erika is definitely the new cat sitter of the family and we will be booking again

Erika took care of my boys like she had known them for years. One of my cats is diabetic and I was very nervous to leave him for the first time. Erika was kind and respectful of my fear and I never felt judged. She took care of them and communicated throughout our trip. Highly recommend!

Erika was great—clear, helpful, and reliable. I really appreciated her orientation visit and her daily updates, as well as her helpful holiday availability. My cats are shy and skittish, and I felt like she understood a nice balance of trying to make contact vs. not disrupting their hiding groove. Thanks to Erika, I had peace of mind through the holidays and arrived home to well-cared-for critters. Thanks, Erika!

Erika took great care of our old lady cat while we were away! She was very patient with my scheduling mistakes in the app and was overall professional and good to work with. She even last minute stayed an additional night when our flight home was cancelled. Thank you Erika!

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.

Baltimore cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!
