Cat Sitting in Hilliard, OH
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... 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.

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

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.

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!

Erika always does a terrific job when she cares for my cats. She not only feeds and scoops the litter boxes, but washes the cat dishes, cleans up what they have leave behind andjust goes the extra mile in care. I love the daily reports and the pictures she sends to keep me connected to my cats.

Erika has been fantastic! She is really attentive to my cats’ needs, even going beyond the basics I asked for — she emptied the litter pans and litter genie entirely, watered my plants, and even got my shy cat to play with her by the end. she was always a great communicator, as well, and gave very helpful updates and asked very thoughtful/caring questions.

Erika was purrfect! we have 3 cats, one of which needs multiple medications twice a day and she was caring and attentive to his special needs while also spending time with and giving special treats to our other two. We especially appreciated all the photo updates!

Erika is wonderful! She took such amazing care of my Rosie while I was away. Rosie can be a bit shy, but she loved Erika right away! Erika made sure Rosie got her medication on time, played with her, gave her treats, and kept me updated with photos and messages every day. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Rosie was in such loving hands. We’ve already booked Erika again, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive sitter.

Erika was absolutely amazing. I have always been anxious leaving my cats at home, but with her thorough and thoughtful updates, I never worried. She was very attuned to the cats and their needs and provided excellent daily care. She was even able to give them their medication, which is always a challenge with cats. While cats can't leave written reviews, they both seemed much calmer than when I have left them previously, and I think they look forward to being cared for (and spoiled) by her again!

We haven’t traveled in ages because we couldn’t find a reliable sitter—Erika has changed that. She’s incredible, and thanks to her, we finally feel confident going on vacation again. She was kind, patient, and truly loving with our cats—even our shy little ones, who usually hide from strangers, fell in love with her. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter!

Erika was AMAZING! Our cat, Poppy, can be a little sassy (especially when it comes to medication time) and we were so pleased with Erika's service and communication. She sent us notes and pictures while we were away which gave us peace of mind and confidence that Poppy was well taken care of! We highly recommend Erika to other fur parents!

Erika was the best! We had not been away from our cats for an extended period of time in a few years, so we were nervous to leave. She put our minds at ease with her detailed updates and photos. She won over our shy kitties and we were so grateful for how she went above and beyond.

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!!
