Erica's Pawsitive Vibes Cat-Sitting

I'm Erica

Cat Sitting in Seattle, WA

Welcome to Pawsitive Vibes cat sitting in North Seattle! Serving Greenwood, Phinney Ridge, Ballard, Fremont, Queen Anne, Magnolia, South Lake Union, Roosevelt and Northgate. Unfortunately I am not taking on new clients any farther northeast than Northgate.

While I am an animal lover in general, nothing compares to my passion for cats! Every cat is different with their own unique personality and mannerisms, and I want to get to know them all! Being able to hang out with so many different cats has been a dream job. As an introvert, I prefer the companionship of pets over humans. I find myself at parties wandering off to locate and hang out with the fur babies of the household.

It's important that my cat clients know that they have control and get to dictate any interactions between the two of us. I will never attempt to pet a cat or invade their space without their consent. Of course, this is excepting of necessary medication administering, which sometimes has to be done even when the cat does not welcome it...

I will never attempt to pet a cat or invade their space without their consent. Of course, this is excepting of necessary medication administering, which sometimes has to be done even when the cat does not welcome it.

I have experience working with cats with varying medical needs including steroids, chemotherapy, pain medication, allergy and asthma meds, special diets, and subcutaneous fluids and injections. My professional history includes caregiving of elders as well as working with children and young adults who have experienced trauma. I studied behavioral science in college and find that many traits paramount to social work apply to our furry friends as well: empathy, passion, mindfulness, patience and boundaries, just to name a few.

I adopted my spunky and affectionate Seal Point Siamese, Milky, as a kitten after losing my beloved exotic shorthair and best friend of 11 years. Milky was diagnosed with non-effusive FIP and underwent GS treatments in the form of daily subcutaneous injections, which I administered myself. Milky is now thriving and lives a happy, mischievous and playful life. I've administered GS injections to three additional clients and am a volunteer with MaxPaw Health.

I am taking extra “purr-cautions” to keep us all safe from COVID. I am fully vaccinated and boosted. Let me know if you would also like me to mask during my one-on-one visits with your fur baby.

In my free time, I enjoy hiking, learning languages, making art, watching gymnastics, going dancing and educating myself on social justice issues.

Another great visit with Erica, and I can’t sing her praises enough. She has watched our cat many times over the past 4 years and always goes above and beyond. From giving him his medication and making sure he has everything he needs to sending very detailed reports on her visits, which gives us so much peace of mind when we’re away. This trip we had our flight home was canceled due to bad weather, and Erica was so accommodating, letting us add extra days to our reservation so our cat was all set. Thank you Erica!

Our kitties have been really on edge as we’ve been preparing for our impending move and it’s been so comforting that while we’ve been away the kitties have gotten to have their visits with their regular cat sitter Erica! She’s so dependable, and I never have to worry about a cat slipping out or something going wrong. She’s great with giving our elderly cat meds, and both our younger ones always greet her with excitement Ernest, Elvira, and Buddy are gonna miss her after our move!

This was my first appointment with Erica. The pre-trip meet and greet with her was impressive. She took detailed notes and took time to say a proper hello with each of my two cats. During her two visits, she sent detailed notea and sent lots of pictures and videos. I knew my cats were in good hands. Highly recommended!

Erica is absolutely amazing at what she does! One of our cats needed a daily pill while we were out of town, and she gave it to him each day without issues. Our other kitty is very shy, but she was able to bring him out of his shell for pets and playtime. She is very thorough in her updates, and she sends the cutest pictures of the cats! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter.

Erica exceeded all of our expectations - from the first moment our cat met her to every moment since, we've felt so confident knowing that we left our fur baby in the best hands. Not only did she maintain our cat's routine, but she also inspired a kitten-like playfulness into our 8 year old cat that was so endearing to see when we saw her again. Thank you Erica for everything, you are truly the best!

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.

Seattle cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $29.00. 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!
