I'm Nicole | Cat Sitting in Los Angeles, CA

Hi! I’m Nico, and I’m a cat lover! I’m also a general lover of all beings big & small (fun fact: I used to beekeep full time!). I’m based in Hollywood, and am happy to service surrounding neighborhoods. *NOTE: I work part-time/freelance jobs so my schedule is flexible. However, due to the variable nature of my work, please message me before making a reservation so I can confirm that I am available during the time of day you'd like me to visit your cat(s).* I’ve been a guardian of my senior kitty, Timmy, for 5 years, and have learned so much about living with and caring for cats. I’ve learned how much personality a cat can have and how much love they have for those who listen to and care for them. I’m also very patient with cats as I know it takes time to build trust with (some of) them. I approach any relationship with a cat from an intuitive point ...

Learn More About Nicole

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do! I have a senior cat (13 years) named Timmy. I’ve had him for 5 years and he’s changed my life. I never had cats growing up since my mom is allergic. I didn’t know how much cats can teach us about love! I am so grateful for my Timtim!

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

Confirm that the dates do work for me, then schedule a meet and greet where I get to meet the human and kitty in person in their home. I’m also happy to schedule a virtual meet and greet if that is preferred. I will take notes during the meeting and plan to collect keys whenever it is most convenient for my client.

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

Be patient and gentle. My own cat was like this when I adopted him. Give them space, but be fully present when they engage with you. Be consistent with showing up and create routine. I like to show the cats that I am reliable.

Nicole is a born cat whisperer! My cats loved her as soon as we met and greeted. She sent me photos of playing with them and they definitely loved her presence. Would like to book her again next time :)

Nicole is a master. My senior cat had just come home from the vet with a daunting medication schedule, and Nicole managed to get every dose into him. She also gave all 3 kitties so much love and play, they were clearly thriving when we came home. Nicole pays attention to every detail, and is a great communicator—we highly recommend her!

Nicole was great with our two cats and went the extra mile to build rapport with our sky kitty. She provided detailed updates so we knew our cats were well taken care of through our entire time away!

This was Nicole's second time caring for my cat. She did a wonderful job! She is very caring, thorough and attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure my cat was happy and left my home even tidier than when she arrived. Thank you Nicole!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $43.00. 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.
