Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY

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 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 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. 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 ❤️

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.

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!

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 $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!
