Learn More About Erica

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

It's hard for me to write that I recently had 3. I just lost them after 20 years and it's so fresh. I wanted to answer this because I want you to know how much I love them. It'simportant to me that they are remembered always. Snickers, Angel, and Loui. Not just my cats, but my soulmates, my best friends, my children, my guardian angels. I don't think I'll ever love like that again, because it was an all encompassing love. They were my everyday and my whole universe. They are the reason I couldnt cat sit before but the reason I can't not now. They are my heart and soul, and always will be. Forever

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes. If I'm here I'm available. Because watching your cat isn't a job, or a chore, it's my joy. I hated leaving my babies on holidays it hurt my soul. I opened presents with them on Christmas and made them dinners on holidays. This is my first set of holidays alone without them and it will be hard. You can trust knowing that I will put all my heart into caring for your babies and showering them with love on the holidays.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

Cats get very stressed out and it's not good for their health. I take this very seriously. I've saved a few kitties in my day, and I moved a lot with my own, so I have a lot practice in this area. I use a combo of calming sprays chews collars if needed. Plug ins and cat calming music or binariual beats. Weirdly enough singing works well. But most importantly is to be able to read the particular cat. They all require something different. Patience, respect, and time are key, but also is showing you aren't a threat. Being around them without bothering them. Offering them food/ toys without having to hang over them or watch them. Cats like to feel safe. Making sure they have access to hiding places that are their safe spots you don't bother them in

I have had the privilege of knowing Erica for over 13 years, and in that time, I have yet to meet anyone who demonstrates such genuine love and dedication to animals. Her compassion, patience, and natural connection with them are remarkable. While many joke about “cat ladies,” with Erica, her time spent with animals is when she is at her most centered and fulfilled. She is truly the ideal person to entrust with the care of your pet.

Frequently Asked Questions

Ocean City cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $23.00. 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.
