I'm Nicki
Cat Sitting in Los Angeles, CA
I have experience with cats of all ages, and I’ve had my cats since they were kittens. They are amazing animals but it has not always been smooth sailing - there have been special needs along the way for both cats and I’ve learned so much about all things cat related from taking care of them.
I love interactions with all cats - playing, snuggles, petting, brushing, hanging out. I have experience with all sorts of medications - pills, transdermal, eye medication, and injection. Both of my cats have had surgery and so I am familiar with recovery routines and special needs... I’m Nicki, I work at a non profit performing arts company and I live in LA with my cats Pancake (11), Lucy (11), and my dog Prune (13).

I’m responsible, consistent, punctual, and I believe that it’s a cats world and we’re just living in it. My cats are family members and I treat them as such - I pay close attention to their needs and behaviors and tailor my approach to each animal to ensure they are happy and healthy. For any cat I sit, I will follow instructions to the letter and ensure the cats routines stay consistent.
A little about my cats:
Pancake - the sweetest Siamese/snowshoe mix, who I rescued from the streets of LA when she was 6 weeks old along with her sister Lucy. She has some special needs, but loves to cuddle, watch the world go by in the window, and commune with the mothership on a regular basis.
Lucy - a very friendly and sweet cow cat who is extremely smart and inquisitive. She loves to follow me around and help with activities, watch the world go by in the window and zoom around.
To alleviate some anxiety when they were younger, my vet recommended training them, so both cats can sit, shake, other paw and turn around on command. They know more tricks than my dog!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I love all types of cats and their different personalities. I have two cats and while that’s enough for me, I love having the chance to interact with as many different types of cats as possible.
What is your favorite cat toy?
My cats favorite toy is a treat puzzle - it’s a tray that has a bunch of nooks and crannies and you put treats in it and the cats have to figure out how to get them out. It keeps them mentally stimulated and rewards them at the same time!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I love figuring out what makes a cat tick. I’m a naturally calm person and when I’m around timid or anxious cats I will sit quietly and throw them treats and try to coax them a little - I closer each time, and never pressure them for pets. I let them come to me, and if it takes multiple visits to be able to pet them or trust me, that’s fine!

Nicki was an excellent cat sitter! We were so worried about our scaredy, FIP cat taking his meds, but Nicki troubleshooted and found the best way to make sure he did! He eventually trusted her enough to come out of his hiding place and get some pets. We’re so thankful our first Meowtel experience was with Nicki!

Nicki is the best!!!! She was so incredibly good with our two kitties, who are sometimes a bit nervous and apprehensive with new humans. But Nicki made them both super comfy, and they were playing and enjoying their time with Nicki right away :) Nicki kept us posted with photos and updates everyday while we were overseas, which was super appreciated as well!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, NICKI!!!!! Our kitties can't wait to hang with you again 😺👍😺👍

Nicki is AN ANGEL! I am a very anxious kitty owner and this being my first time ever seeking out a cat sitter, I was a bit nervous going into the process. Nicki helped me to put all those worries aside. She is flexible, sweet, and most importantly an AMAZING caretaker to my sensitive cat Beanz. She really cared for us both by providing loving care to Beanz, and by sending me updates and working with me when crisis arose. THANK YOU NICKI!

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.
Los Angeles 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!
