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. I spent several years working in veterinary clinics, including a couple of years in a feline exclusive practice.
From there I moved on to be a professional pet sitter. I have cared for an assortment of animals in general and I pride myself on getting to know each one’s unique personality and catering to his/her needs. I utilize my training which enables me to handle a variety of medical situations, i.e. medication administration, topical applications, subcutaneous fluids and insulin injections.
I am reliable and trustworthy, and your cat’s safety, well-being and happiness are my top priorities. I take the time to ensure your cat feels secure and at ease even when you are away from home.

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.

I was away for two weeks on a family vacation. Erica was at my home every day, providing updates, photos and videos on how my cat family was doing. She even helped troubleshoot when my feeder app lost connection. She helped me feel much more confident being away, knowing my kitties were safe and being well looked after.

Erika recently took care of our 3 cats and she is amazing. Our senior cat needs meds twice a day and she not only handled it without any issues but still found time to play and cuddle with everyone. The updates she provided with each visit were great and really helped us feel close to our kitties even though we were thousands of miles away. We will not hesitate to have her care for them again on our next vacation.

Erika recently took care of our senior cat Lucy. This was our first time having someone other than family take care of her while we were gone. Erika‘s daily updates and pictures really put our minds at ease that she was well cared for. Our cat Lucy is known for hiding from people she does not know, but she warmed up to Erica on the very first day!She even let Erica administer her medication without any problems.Erika is a true cat lover and we will definitely have her take care of our kitty cat again!

Erika set up a meet and greet before hand and was super sweet, detail oriented and caring. she made sure to take notes of how many litter boxes, snack locations, hiding places, etc before the actual appointment. She made sure to send plenty of photos, and do the necessary maintenance during the actual appointment, she even brought in my mail and swept around the litter box!

We had the perfect cat sitter for our two cats. Erika left detailed information about how each visit went along with pictures of our kitty kids! One of our cats is very reclusive and shy and Erika was able to coax her out of hiding and we even got pictures of her! I will definitely request her any time we travel

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.

Hilliard cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!
