I'm Erin | Cat Sitting in Long Beach, CA

Hi! I'm Erin (they/them). I have loved cats since the day I was born 😸 I grew up with three cats of my own and have always felt a deep connection with them (sometimes more than people). I live with two sweet kitties named Punchy and Ripley. I work to give them good lives! My cat sitting career began when I was 11, when my mom's coworker asked me to give his kitties extra love while he was away. Since then I have been asked to cat sit by teachers, co-workers, and supervisors because am I known for both loving cats and being responsible and reliable. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur baby with a stranger, so I will make sure to keep you updated with photos and a detailed status report at every visit! I have cared for elderly and disabled kitties that required ear drops, eye drops, oral medications, insulin injection...

Learn More About Erin

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love getting to know every kitty's unique personality! They're all such individuals and it's so much fun to see them get comfortable with me.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I always check outside doors as I'm coming and going to make sure kitties don't escape and will alert you ASAP of any safety concerns I notice!

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

I let them set the pace of our interactions. I like to let the kitty know that I'm there and offer a sniff, but if the kitty doesn't want to hang out I will sit nearby and let the kitty come to me.

Erin is far and away the best cat sitter we’ve ever had. While we were out of town on vacation, they provided the resort experience for our cats. We received wonderful photos and updates after every visit. We have a complicated situation with multiple cats needing meds at different times of day. Erin deftly navigated their needs with a calm hand, creating a positive experience where others have struggled. Our shy girl Rocket typically hides at the sound of a stranger but Erin literally had her eating out of the palm of their hand. Our kitties were their best selves when we returned. We will definitely be utilizing Erin’s services again very soon.

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

Long Beach 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.
