Learn More About Erika

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 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!

Erika was great with my kitties. She made sure they were well fed and cared for while I was away. She made sure the litter box was clean and even went by late at night when my neighbor left without giving her the key. I loved the daily pics, videos and updates. I'll use her again

Erika’s excellent care for my shy cat during a family emergency was exceptional. Erika is communicative and responsible. My cat was following Erika around the house and playing with her within a few days. Erika’s care eased my worries and allowed me to focus on my family during a challenging time. I will definitely hire Erika again!

This was my second time booking Erika. This time included an additional cat and additional medication. Just as before, Erika went above and beyond caring for my cats. I appreciate her attention to detail and am never worried when she’s in charge of caring for my cats.

As first time cat parents, we were nervous about leaving our babies. Erika put our anxieties at ease. She clearly communicated with us. She also sent videos and photos. It was a great relief to see our babies happy. We’ll definitely book with Erika again.

This was my first time using this app and Erika was amazing! So much care and experience. Thanks to her my cat was so relaxed when we got back home! She usually has separation anxiety and won’t eat, with her being there, I was able to relax on my trip and know my baby was safe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Baltimore cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
