Cat Sitting in Corona, NY
I am experienced in gaining trust with new cats, and comfortable giving them their space and letting them set their own boundaries. I am an expert at cleaning up any messes or accidents, thanks to my own cats. I love to engage cats in their favorite kinds of play and I... Hi! I'm Erika and I've always loved cats. From feeding little strays in Ecuador as a kid to my own set of 3 now, I've had plenty of experience with all kinds of kitties.
I am experienced in gaining trust with new cats, and comfortable giving them their space and letting them set their own boundaries. I am an expert at cleaning up any messes or accidents, thanks to my own cats. I love to engage cats in their favorite kinds of play and I have even taken my own cats for strolls around the neighborhood.
I am also experienced in giving cats fluids, pills, and topical ointments.
A visit from me would include cleaning and filling of the food and water bowls, cleaning of all litter boxes, pets, play time, administering any meds, and some pictures for your peace of mind. And of course, a happy cat!
Please feel free to reach out with any questions about care or scheduling!
Learn More About Erika
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
My favorite part of cat sitting is keeping the cats happy and safe. I know I am always worried about my own cats when I have to leave them, so I am so happy that I get to make sure other people's babies are well taken care of and happy.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have three cats of my own: Toulouse, Tito, and Tina. They each have their own crazy personalities and challenges and I love them dearly for it. They are like the Aristocats come to life.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
The most important things I do with shy cats is to speak low and move slow. I am extremely cautious not to do anything that will make them even more anxious. They should always feel comfortable in their own home, and I would give them plenty of space to become accustomed to me (and of course some treats for being so brave!)

Erika was an outstanding overnight cat sitter for my senior kitty. So far she has completed three separate bookings for my cat: 3 nights, 2 nights, and 15 nights. Erika was unphased by the requirements of my senior kitty: twice daily pills, twice daily ear drops/ointment, and daily ear cleaning. She reported several times through the day on exactly what time these things were done, and how they went. Additionally, my cat is prone to going on hunger strikes when I leave; Erika promptly communicated how much the kitty ate and how long it took for her to eat (or not) her food so we could make decisions together about whether/when to stimulate her appetite. For one more challenge, my cat was having some litter box issues; thanks to Erika’s diligent reports, we tested a different litter and box placement and found a combination that got kitty back on track. Erika sent great photos and updates. She was a perfect house guest as well— my place looks as good or better than when I left, even after a couple weeks. I’ve already rebooked Erika for my next trip. And my cat will be thrilled— it’s clear she got a little attached and enjoyed “helping” with her knitting.

Erika was really great! from the meet and greet to the catsitting itself. she's communicative, sends the best photos, and I could tell my kitty loved her (the other cat is anxious and hides, and Erika respected her space but knew how to keep an eye out for her). all in all a great experience and I would definitely hire her again!

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.
Corona 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!
