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...
Erika's Reviews
Maliha
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!
Emma
I am a first time Meowtel user, and I hit the jackpot with Erika! She was responsive, positive, organized, and my cats adored her. I got timely updates on their status and lots of photos, and she even kept my space clean and swept while I was away. I cannot recommend her enough!
Josue
she was very attentive and sweet. My cat really took to her and enjoyed spending time with her. He even showed his belly and gave love paws.
Jessica
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.
Elizabeth
Erika is absolutely the *best*. This is the second time she's cared for my kitties and both times she's gone above and beyond to ensure they're happy and cared for and don't miss their humans too much. A+ caretaker.

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 $36.00. 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.
