I'm Erica
Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY
I have taken care of dozens of cats throughout Brooklyn. Everyone from weeks old kittens to seniors who need medication. I have done both drop-ins and overnights as well as extended stays. I am available to meet and greet before a sitting to get a lay of the land and put your mind at ease, but I am also prepared for those last minute sittings that might require just a written note of instructions... I have always loved animals, and am definitely what people refer to as a typical ‘cat person’!! I grew up in a household with two cats and my partner and I currently have a rescue of our own.

I am available to meet and greet before a sitting to get a lay of the land and put your mind at ease, but I am also prepared for those last minute sittings that might require just a written note of instructions. Whatever makes you the most comfortable!
I am available for drop-ins and overnights in Carroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Boerum Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Downtown Brooklyn, Dumbo, Park Slope, Sunset Park and beyond.
I have had experience feeding cats anything from a half cup of dry-food to specialty diets involving frozen, raw meats with mixed in medications. I have experience cleaning everything from a litter pan to a litter robot and everything in between!
I love sending the most adorable picture updates throughout the sitting. I am great at communicating any problems that might arise during the sitting as well as all of the good stuff too! Being a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to feel that your fur babies are safe and happy while you are away.
Learn More About Erica
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I have been cat sitting throughout Brooklyn for over 5 years. I also grew up taking care of 2 cats, and I currently have a rescue of my own!
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
The cudddleeeessssss. I do understand though that some cats take some time to warm up or may only care for ‘snuggles from afar’ 😎👍🏼
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Right now my partner and I have one rescue. Her name is Polly (because she’s a polydactyl) and she’s the best girl there is 🥰
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
Very well! My cat, Polly, is a very shy and anxious girl and we have come incredibly far since we first brought her home. I think it’s about giving them enough space, creating a routine, and building that trust that you are there to take care of them ❤️

I don't know what we would do without Erica! One of our kitties was clearly not himself, and Erica took him to the emergency vet at 9PM on a Saturday to have him seen. I was so relieved to have her looking after our little guy!

Erica is a pro. She implemented my complicated feeding routine for my 5 cats without a problem. She sent pictures and updates. I felt confident that my cats were well cared for while I was away. Will definitely hire her again.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
- Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.
All refunds are initially applied to the Cat Parent's Meowtel Account Balance for use toward a future reservation or tip. Funds may be returned to the original payment method at any time.
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.
Brooklyn cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!

I booked Erica last minute when another sitter was sick and unable to make it. She was super communicative and worked with me to make the meet and greet happen quickly. My girl Poppy is very shy with new people - she usually hides under the bed if we are not home. I was shocked when Erica shared photos of Poppy coming up to her! She truly is a shy cat whisperer. If Poppy’s food looked untouched, Erica also did a great job of making sure she was eating by bringing her food closer to her “safe space” with a trail of treats. Would definitely book again!

Everything went smoothly and my cat looked so happy! He is an old grumpy cat, but he got along with her. I liked the photos she shared with me every day!

Erica was able to quickly befriend our normally shy cat. Erica sent great updates that really helped during our first vacation away from our little cat that has a small perfect head like an apricot. We happily are working with Erica again on another trip.

Absolutely love working with Erica! My go-to cat sitter! I err on the anxious side when leaving town without my cat and Erica always goes above and beyond with communication and care. I'm able to travel with confidence and without worry knowing my cat will be well cared for!
Meg

I totally trust Erica with taking care of my 2 kitties while I'm away! Erica provided loads of great photo updates and responded to my messages quickly! Having the peace of mind while I am away is so comforting to me. Thanks Erica!

I've booked Erica twice and both times have been excellent. She sends daily updates with photos and little stories about what my cat, Snicks, is up to. I highly recommend booking Erica, and will be using her again in the future!

Erica was amazing again! We had her take care of Henry last year and thankfully she was available to help us with him again this year while we were away for the holidays. She is truly a genuine cat whisperer. She sent us photos daily and it was obvious Henry and her got along famously. It's rare to see him cuddle up to someone other than family members and Erica had him in the palm of her hand. She definitely has our trust and appreciation!

Erica was communicative and kind throughout the two weeks she watched my cat, Anita. Erica sent great photos & updates at every visit. When I got home Anita was playful and happy; further confirming she was well cared for while I was away! I highly recommend 🏆 & will book again.
Emma
December 26, 2023
Erica truly is a wonderful and trustworthy car sitter. She was very quick with responses and didn’t miss a beat when I had to change plans at the last minute. Also, our cat loved her - he usually hides when the cat sitters come by, but not with Erica. She has a specia touch, definitely will work with her again!

Erica was very responsive and came to the rescue when I needed to go on an emergency trip. We didn’t get to meet yet because I had to leave immediately, but the kitties were well cared for and the photos she sent each visit gave me peace of mind during a stressful time. I have already booked her for a second trip.

I’ve had a few great sitters but Erica is the only one that I notice my cat is much sweeter when I get back to town. Erica truly has a way with Anita. + She’s always a pleasure to communicate with and sends the best photos. I highly recommend! 🏆
Colin

Erica was a great cat sitter!. Our Henry looked happy and healthy upon our return. Erica gave us daily updates and pictures of our fuzzy buddy hanging out with her. Erica couldn't have been more pleasant on our first meeting. I felt instantly comfortable with her and by the photos it was obvious that Henry took a shine to her too!
Colin

Erica was amazing as she always is. She sent us the cutest pictures while we were away and clearly our Henry thoroughly enjoys her attentive company. Erica kept us updated daily and was alway very quick to respond to our chats.

Erica was incredible! She was so loving to our cat and they became fast friends, which made us feel totally comfortable being away. She went above and beyond, from helping to ensure everything was setup well at our place to adding on extra days when our flight home was unexpectedly cancelled. Can't recommend her enough!!

Erica is always so good with our cats—she was able to charm our shy cat Filber into making an appearance (and into eating!) and as always did great with our other cat’s inhaler and meds!

Erica is an incredibly attentive, responsible, and overall a wonderful sitter. She always takes such good care of my cat and doesn’t forget to make sure to update me with texts and photos, ensuring my peace of mind while I’m away. Truly couldn’t be happier with her!

Erica was fantastic! She was extremely professional, down to business, and most importantly our cat loved having her around. We felt completely secure having Erica around.

Erica has watched my little lady, Anita several times now, covering about month + of care. Every time, Anita is very happy & well cared for when I return. I especially appreciate her fantasic updates and photos as well as the special cuddle sessions she has with Anita that my little one needs to feel secure while her regular humans are gone. She is definitely Anita’s favorite sitter & mine. She has clear communication both before and during sittings, has been great with special instruction I’ve left for meds and special meals, and has been flexible and kind.
