Erika truly lives up to her Cat Whisperer moniker! My fur baby warmed up to her right away on Day 1. Erika followed every instruction perfectly, was very responsive, and sent fantastic pictures and updates. When I had to unexpectedly extend my trip, Erika accommodated extra bookings and even refilled the litter - a true lifesaver!! This was my first time hiring a catsitter instead of asking friends/neighbors and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I’ll definitely be booking Erika again in the future. Can’t recommend her enough! 🐾

I’ve never left our cats with anyone other than friends before, so was super skeptical about bringing in a new person. But right away, Erika was keen to learn more about the ins and outs of my cats’ schedules and how to best care for them. She gave us tons of thorough updates along the way and truly went above and beyond (incl. refilling and setting the furbo camera every time they knocked it over). Highly recommend and would trust Erika with our cats again :)

Erika was about to charm my very shy cat right off the bat. She sent regular updates and was very responsive while I was away in another country for 10 days. She was able to figure out solutions to my cat being a picky eater too. I highly recommend her!

I never felt okay leaving my cats with friends because they don’t understand cats and never pay attention to the little things. Since meeting Erica not only did I feel safe but I was extremely happy with how much my cats loved her and were so comfortable around her. I got lots of videos and photos of the kitties. And she also informed me that one of my cats had an issue with her eye. Thankfully it was all sorted out and Erica kept me updated with everything. Overall I was beyond excited with the care of my kitties. Thank you Erica!!

Erika went above and beyond during our reservation with her! My cat got locked in a closet and she was kind enough to double-back and look for him and make sure he was ok even though her visitation was over. She also cared for our plants during the visitation and was very attentive and caring. I would recommend Erika if you are looking for a cat sitter :)

This was my first time using the app, and I couldn’t have been happier with Erika’s care for my cat. My cat is usually very reserved, but one of the first photos Erika sent showed her being affectionate, which is rare! It was clear my cat felt comfortable with her. Erika was incredibly attentive, and I’ve already scheduled more dates with her. Highly recommend!

Erika was wonderful! I was really nervous to use this app for the first time because of how spicy my cat can be with strangers, but Erika was understanding and patient with my fur baby’s unique personality. and she even came during a holiday week! my cat was not nearly as anxious as he usually is when I return from a vacation.

My cat, Winston, has heart issues and requires quite a few medications which makes it scary anytime I need to leave him. Knowing I have Erika makes me feel more at ease. She provides me with amazing updates about everything and adorable pictures/videos which I love SO much. She is amazing with my cat’s medication and it’s clear how much Winston loves her from how easy it is for her to give it to him (and all the love he gives her!) My furbaby and I are so grateful for Erika!

Erika is an excellent caretaker. I hope to work with her again and again. Erika gave an update with several photos each time she visited and a good explanation of what she experienced while she was at my apartment. My normally shy cat warmed up to her immediately and started to look forward to Erika's visits. Erika has is bright and used common sense when things popped up. This is especially important; I feel comfortable that if things should pop up, whe will be able to handle and make sure issues are resolved.

Erika was absolutely terrific with my furbabies, as well as the outdoor strays we care for. I have two fairly shy cats, and while it took a few visits, the shyest ended up warming up to her quite nicely and she really went above and beyond when it came to cleaning up after them and gaining their trust. It's hard leaving cats behind when you go on vacation, but it's so much easier when you find a caretaker you can trust. Erika definitely came through for us!!

Our first time with Erika tending to our easily-spooked cats and she appears to have had the knack for getting them to be social - which is very important so they’re not totally neurotic upon our arrival!

I have an unfriendly cat who doesn’t take well to most people. Erika spent time with him (likely exercising a lot of patience!!) and took such care when it came to updates and photos. she was so thorough in her comments and gave me all the details about her visit. Despite my cat being rude, it was so clear from his demeanor in the photos that he was still happy/engaged/feeling relaxed. I have never left him with a stranger and was very nervous, but Erika did the most to put me at ease. It was so clear upon meeting her that he was in incredible hands!

Frequently Asked Questions

Jersey City cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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.
