I'm Erika | Cat Sitting in Jersey City, NJ

Hi there! My name is Erika, but my friends call me the crazy cat lady. I am obsessed with cats and I treat them as my babies. I love to cuddle with them and spoil them as much as I can. If someone were to ask me what my dream job is I would say cat sitting as well as opening a cat cafe!! I have three cats, a tuxedo and a tabby short hair and a Siamese named Kitty, Mia and Sol. I found Mia at a very vulnerable stage. Barely having their eyes open, indicating that they weren’t even a week or two old. I learned to bottle feed and stimulate their bottom to help them poop. I then trained them to use the litter box which required A LOT of patience, but it was totally worth it. She is now two and she is happy and healthy. I volunteer for a non-profit organization near my hometown to help remove homeless cats from the streets. I have experience with FIV cats, and other cats with...

my kitties loved Erika! Even with my plethora of notes on feeding, medication etc… she did a great job keeping me updated and sending plenty of pictures. We will definitely reach out to her next time we need a cat sitter!!

Erika was able to take care of my two cats perfectly while I was away for the weekend! She's really good at charming shy kitties and was able to get my very shy cat to come out for pets. She's also amazing with updates. This was my second time booking her - highly recommend!

Erika was an incredible sitter for our kitties. She was responsive, responsible and caring of our three cats; she was able to charm our shy cat into going out and spending some time with her. We are sure, if we need to, we are going to look for her again.

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

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 $33.00. 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.
