I'm Erica | Cat Sitting in Seattle, WA

I grew up with many cats from all walks of cat life. I'm currently owned by a 8yo squishy cross-eyed panther named Magnus and his baby sister, Ivy! My cats have had a variety of health conditions. Magnus has asthma, I had an 18.5yo who just passed with a heart condition and kidney failure, I grew up with a cat with hyperthyroidism, I’ve administered fluids to another beloved cat, and my last tabby was diabetic requiring twice-a-day insulin injections. Ivy has been on antibiotics for a variety of reasons since I adopted her. I understand the timely nature of medications, and I will let you know if I don't believe I can make my schedule work with yours. I live in North Seat...

Learn More About Erica

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I grew up with ~15 cats and have experienced almost every ailment possible. A life without cats is boring. I've been catsitting for friends for years, but I've been catsitting with Meowtel off and on since 2019!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I really love my cats but I also love spending time with *other* people's cats. Don't tell them!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I sat for an older cat who ostensibly didn't like other people besides her owner but we grew to become best buds. She would greet me when I sat for her. Carrot's owner let me know when she passed even. She'd had a great, long life!

Erica looked after my kitties with great care. She gave me daily reports and sent tons of pictures with funny commentary about each one. I will for sure reach out the next time I need a sitter.

Erica took great care of my cats! Not only that, she helped with taking care of my plants while we were away on vacation, and was great with communications and sending photos of my girls having fun at home. Would love to have her sit for me again!

Erica did such a good job caring for our kitties! We have a very shy skittish one and Erica had her practically eating out of her hand. 10/10 would recommend!

(TLDR at bottom) I found myself in need of a cat sitter a few weeks back on short notice and came across Erica’s profile. After initially reaching out she was very responsive, and we quickly scheduled a date for her to meet my cats (11 month old twin girls) and cover general care instructions. She was very thorough and made sure to ask deep questions to understand my cats personalities and care habits which I greatly appreciated. While I was gone I received daily photos and updates. My kittens are extremely energetic so I was worried that they would get sad without a consistent presence, however those fears quickly dissipated. Erica made sure to spend loads of play time with them while maintaining their litter box, auto/interactive feeders, wet food schedule and she even my plants! The photos she sent of them playing with her and their favorite toys were a great touch! I truly can’t thank Erica enough for taking care of my kittens while I was gone and I am really greatful for how attentive she was to them and their habits during her visits!! TLDR: Erica is a sensational cat sitter who I would strongly recommend to anyone. She responds quickly, takes great photos, and was a pleasure to coordinate with!

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

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $33.00. 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.
