I'm Nicoal
Cat Sitting in Long Beach, CA
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... Basically, 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.
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 (21 years of experience as of that day!)
I love all animals equally, but I always joke that cats are far superior (teehee). Ten years ago, I adopted my very first kitty cat (after more than a decade of looking after other folks' kiddos). She's my very best friend: Kingston aka Kingy, King King, King Bean, Ol' Dusty Paws, Booger, Lil Floof (and the list goes on).
I currently sit kitties for several of my friends and yoga clients (I am an professional instructor), 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.

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 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.

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. ❤️

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!

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 $33.00. 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!

Nicoal is so great! Responsive and great with my cat Ellie. She took away so much stress while I was away with limited reception. Coming back to videos and pictures of Ellie playing was such a relief thank you!

Nicoal was an amazing sitter for my kitty! When we met before my trip, she paid attention to all of my kitty’s needs and made sure she was taken care of throughout our trip. I am usually very anxious around leaving my girl at home, but was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing Nicoal was there. A+++ vibes

Thank you Tracy! It was an absolute pleasure and treat sitting for Pai. I look forward to taking care of her again whenever y'all need me 💖

Nicoal is the absolute best! You can tell she genuinely loves and cares about every cat she works with, and that gave me so much peace of mind. She kept me updated, treated Amelia like one of her own, and went above and beyond while I was away. I came home to a happy, well-loved kitty and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend Nicoal to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and truly passionate about cats!
Response from Nicoal
Thank you so much Megan! Amelia is an absolute love and it was a pleasure taking care of her. I look forward to next time 💖

Nicoal is a wonderful human being. Her care with animals is above and beyond. My cat who is shy with most people warmed to Nicoal easily which is all the reassurance I needed. I’m grateful to know her and so are my kitties.

Nicoal is communicative, honest and absolutely reliable, her experience as a kitty mom provides so much to her services since she treats kitties like if they were hers. She has been able to help me improve in the care if my own kitties, she has become a friend to me and someone I can fully rely on last minute out if town work. Thank you Nicoal!!!
