I'm Nicole | Cat Sitting in El Cajon, CA

Hi cat parents, I'm Nicole: a cat mom, Humane Society employee, cat rescue volunteer, and former animal care technician. In my work, I advise new adoptees on how to best care for their feline friends, and I regularly handle fearful community cats, as well as those exiting surgery. I've volunteered at a cat rescue for a year, where I've been entrusted with caring for ...

Learn More About Nicole

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do! I have a sweet, sensitive, shy little girl named Lullaby and a rambunctious boy with big bunny feet named Doppio.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! Most holidays I can be available for part of the day. And I'll be sure to send lots of photos of your baby while you're away celebrating. 💕

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

I've found the best thing you can do for fearful cats is to simply act as a gentle presence. Sitting quietly nearby and giving them slow, gentle blinks is often enough to earn their trust (eventually). Shy cats are some of the sweetest creatures, and I have so much respect and love for them.

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

El Cajon 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.
