I'm Erica | Cat Sitting in Sunnyside, NY
Cat-mom of two goofy little boys, I treat all the little ones I meet as if they were my own. Mainly local to Eastern Queens - I'm available in LIC, Sunnyside, & Woodside, Astoria & Jackson Heights any time! (And if not, message me, I'm flexible!) My cats, Oscar & Burton, live the good life with plenty of snacks and toys. My big thing is respecting boundaries and letting kitties come to me. I like to give them the extra socializing (or the space!) they might need. On alert to any discomfort and attentive to kitty body language - patience is important and respect is key. What's my pet history you might ask? I've raised anywhere from a newborn kitten to a 19 year old senior! I'm great with all ages and health situations. As a kid, my very first cat had a litter of kittens, 8 total! From that moment on they stole my heart. I've also had finches, adorable rats, a plethora of goldfish, and a Boston Terrier, huge animal lover h...
Erica's Reviews
Tania
It is such a relief to have someone taking care of the cats that you trust and know the kitties really like. Erica is wonderful with my stranger danger older cats and the new hyper enthousiastic kitten alike.

Erica is one of the best around. I’m also a Meowtel cat sitter and she goes above and beyond expectations. She is so good with my cats, even the very shy one has warmed up to her. Her updates are awesome and she gets some amazing pictures. I cannot recommend her highly enough, your cats are in the best hands with her.

Erica was wonderful with both of my kitties. They were bottle babies in the heat of the pandemic so they are not used to and can be wary of new people but Erica had them playing despite themselves by day two. Erica also takes some fabulous photos. It was always such a joy and relief to see that they were up to and their not so little personalities on display. Erica makes the prospect of getting away for a few days feel far less stressful for all of us. Thank you!

Erica is the best! I am also a Meowtel cat sitter and was impressed that she was as detailed as I am with the meet and greet. Her updates were so cute and fun and her pictures were great. She completely understood my cats personalities, I could tell they weren’t generic updates. She also took great pictures. She even managed to get my shy cat to say hi some. 10/10 would recommend highly.

Erica's amazing! First, she's so kind and clearly loves cats. And she's also so professional - she was meticulous at taking care of every aspect of feeding, grooming, playing and litter box care. She sent us detailed notes and pictures after each visit so we knew Gandalf was getting the best of care.

Frequently Asked Questions
Sunnyside cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $34.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Meowtel sitters offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so we'll match you with the best options which are close by.
Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.
We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.
Each Meowtel cat sitting visit will include the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
