Cat Sitting in Long Beach, CA

I am an animal lover from birth! I've always had an affinity with all animals and especially, with the cats in my neighborhood growing up. I used to visit my all neighbors' companions as one of my favorite past-times (and honestly, still do). So, if anyone wondered where I was, I was usually interacting with and petting my furry, four-legged mates. Same goes today! When I'm out in the neighborhood or at get-together - I'm always seeking out my other-than-human companions, especially my fab feline friends.

I am an animal lover from birth! I've always had an affinity with all animals and especially, with the cats in my neighborhood growing up.

When I'm out in the neighborhood or at get-together - I'm always seeking out my other-than-human companions, especially my fab feline friends.

Cats have *always* been my absolute favorite animals ever since I was able to speak it into existence and let everyone know how incredible cats are!

When I became old enough to have the responsibility of sitting for my neighbor's companions as a young teenager, my neighbors employed me to care for their canine and feline friends (22 years of experience as of that day!)

I love all animals equally, but I always joke that cats are far superior. Eleven years ago, I adopted my very first kitty cat. She's my very best friend: Kingston aka Kingy, King King, King Bean, Ol' Dusty Paws, Booger, The Beans (and the list goes on).

I currently sit kitties for several clients, who have cats of all ages, with different regiments, needs, and personalities. I am experienced in administering oral, topical, and injected medications for cats as well have experience with feeding tubes for older, hospice kitties.

I would LOVE to meet and hang with your feline friend and provide them with all the TLC they absolutely deserve.

I have cared for cats for 22 years now and have experience with cats of all ages, with different regiments, needs, and personalities. I am experienced in administering oral, topical and injected medications for cats as well have experience with feeding tubes for older, hospice kitties.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy spending quality time with your kitty, making sure they are well fed, loved, and cared for as cats thrive on routine and it's essential to ensure they're well supported and comfortable when you're away.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

My 11 year old rescued black Ragdoll, Kingston aka Kingy, King King, King Bean, Ol' Dusty Paws, Booger, The Beans (and the list goes on).

Nicoal is a true car person! All three of my cats had their “cat person radar” on right away. I could tell they would get along beautifully. Nicoal was able to be the cat boss and make sure they got medicated while also giving pets and love.

Nicoal is truly a cat whisperer! My two girls warmed up to her immediately and Nicoal has the most calming energy to be around ❤️ I felt absolutely safe leaving my cats in her care while I was out of town, and I received photo and video updates for every visit. Nicoal was very attentive and truly cared for my two kitties. Thank you!

Nicoal is the best cat sitter ever. This is my first time entrusting someone to take care of my 3 kitties and now I definitely feel comfortable with her taking care of them so I can travel again! She read my detailed instructions list and did everything I asked AND more. She cleaned my entire litter box room. Not only was I happy with her, but my cats too. My cats are not very socialized and used to just me being home. They all came out and hung out with her. She is a cat whisperer!

Back for seconds! I was gone for a two-week trip which was very intense & hectic, and my saving grace was knowing that Nicoal was taking care of my two girls while I was gone! Great communication and Nicoal was extremely attentive, going above and beyond to ensure that my cats were taken care of even though I didn't leave super specific instructions. ❤️

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.

Long Beach cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $36.00. 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 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 Meet & Greet!
