Cat Mom to my rescue girl, Cookie and an animal lover all around. I know how important it is for cat parents to feel confident leaving their pets in someone else’s care, so I prioritize reliability, clear communication, and thoughtful updates after every visit. I truly enjoy spending time with cats - whether that means playtime, quiet companionship, simply making sure their routines stay consistent or patiently winning over a shy kitty (baby-talk cat voice included if needed). I’m detail oriented and comfortable following specific care instructions, including administering medications when needed. As a working professional who works permanently from home, I also have flexibility in my schedule. My goal is always for your cat to feel safe, comfortable and well cared for while you’re away.

Learn More About Erin

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do! I have a 5 year old rescue named Cookie. I also grew up with two cats, Casey and Charlie, and gravitate toward any cat amongst my family and friends.

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

As someone who has hired a cat sitter from Meowtel, it was important to me that the sitter was communicative (meaning quick to respond), warm and a cat parent themselves. I would advise a customer to look for the same. They want reassurance that the sitter entering their home is trustworthy, reliable and going to care for their cat like they would. I find quick response, detailed communication and tone to be a precursor for those traits.

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

From experience! My cat Cookie is timid and anxious and she takes a while to warm up to people. First I would ask the cat parent what’s the best way to approach their cat and follow those instructions. In my experience, using a soft baby talk voice usually helps, sitting on the floor (meet the cat at their level), and putting your hand out for the cat to smell will get the cat to warm up a little. Even if the cat is so timid and shy and hiding, I would ask the cat owner where the cat’s hiding places were so that I at least have eyes on the cat during the visit to ensure the cat is ok.

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.

New York 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!
