Learn More About Erica
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love meeting all the interesting and different personalities your cats have. Everyone is unique and I have a great time getting to know their quirks.
Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?
I look forward to seeing one of my neighbors most of all - Henry! Henry is an indoor/outdoor cat who lives down the street. We have a predictable routine that includes at least 25 minutes of Henry napping in my lap. He once brought me a dead bird, which was not my first choice as a gift but ya know it was pretty meaningful all the same.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I like to chat with you over text, and I can do a meet and greet with you if you’d like but it’s not mandatory. I wanna know all the details you’re willing to share - nothing is too small for me, I like to be prepared for anything!

Brooklyn cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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 free 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 free Meet & Greet!
