Hi there! My name is Erica and I absolutely love cats! I've grown up with cats and have three currently. Sammy, a 1 year old Siberian, Rocky, a 13 year old tuxedo, and Finnegan, a 7 year old ginger.

Sammy, a 1 year old Siberian, Rocky, a 13 year old tuxedo, and Finnegan, a 7 year old ginger. I have over a decade of experience taking care of cats and have helped foster kittens. What I love most about cat sitting is getting to meet all different kinds of cats and making sure they are well taken care of while their owners are away. I like to keep owners updated by sending lots of photos and videos! I am available for drop in visits and look forward to cat sitting!

Learn More About Erica

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I’ve been caring for cats for over a decade and have built lasting relationships with several regular cat clients. Over the years, I’ve looked after cats of all ages and personalities, making sure they’re well taken care of with the right balance of playtime, affection, and routine.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love spending time with cats, getting to know their unique personalities, and meeting different kinds from kittens to seniors.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

My favorite cat sitting reservation was taking care of a cat named Arlo, who is an orange colored Siberian. Even though he missed his parents, he warmed up to me throughout the week and was incredibly playful and affectionate!

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.

Jersey City cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $32.00. 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!
