I'm Erika | Cat Sitting in Hilliard, OH

Hello, I’m Erika, a dedicated and passionate feline pet sitter with over 4 years’ experience in caring for cats of all breeds and temperaments. My love for animals began at a young age and over the years I have honed my skills in providing the best care for our furry friends. I received a degree in Veterinary Technology from Columbus State Community College in 2012.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love the fact that I am trusted to care for the wellbeing of others’ precious family members. It means a tremendous amount to me that they are willing to rely on me

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

There was a 2-kitty household for which I cat sat a couple years ago. The male was friendly and outgoing, very playful; he but the female did not appreciate his antics, and she was afraid of strangers. Every time I visited, she would hide. I set about winning her over by talking to her softly and leaving treats for her. Then! One day, she was finally brave enough to come out to say hello! After that, we were fast friends (though her brother still got on her nerves lol).

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My boyfriend and I are spoiled by a kitty who enjoys announcing her own entrance into the room. Lol We call her Turtle, but her official name is Princess Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Dovewings. Or something like that lol. My brother actually named her because she was his cat for the first ~10 years of her life. He gave her to me when he moved across country ~4 years ago and we are thrilled she is part of our household.

Erika took great care of my five cats. She sent updates every day with plenty of pictures and communicated with me throughout my trip. The kitties has nothing but good things to say as well, and they appreciated the extra treats.

Erika was absolutely amazing taking care of our three kitties for over a week! She took her time to give each cat attention and even our super shy kitty finally warmed up to her! She provided phenomenal updates each day and I felt very confident our cats were well cared for!

Erica did an outstanding job taking care of my cat Rocky while I was away. Rocky is friendly and full of personality, and it was clear from the updates that he was having a great time under her care. She made sure he was well-fed, entertained, and loved – I came home to a happy and relaxed kitty! Erica also went above and beyond by watering my plants and handling my mail, which I really appreciated. Everything was in perfect shape when I returned. She’s dependable, communicative, and clearly loves what she does. I highly recommend Erica to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!

Erica did a fantastic job taking care of my kitty while we were on vacation for 11 days. I was very worried about my cat as we were leaving her for so many days for the first time. My cat is extremely shy and anti- social but Erica managed to get friendly to her. Erica gave me detailed updates, sent good pictures and went above and beyond. I found my cat happy and healthy when I returned. Erica is awesome!!

I have to say it again - Erika is so wonderful with my felines! So thoughtful and detail-oriented….even my very shy kitty has warmed up to her. I will definitely continue booking with her. My girls are in excellent hands when I am away!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hilliard cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $24.00. 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.
