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

Do you have a shy/nervous/fearful kitty? I’m the cat-sitter for you! Hi! I’m Nicole, 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).* During the past year I’ve been cat sitting, I realized I have a knack for helping anxious/fearful/nervous kitties feel comfortable in my care. It’s been a gift to cultivate these bonds of trust and security with these particular kitties. I always approach any relationship with a cat from an intuitive point of view. I am able to sense and respect their boundaries as well as move at the pace they set. I’ve been a guardian o...

Learn More About Nicole

What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?

I have been cat sitting for a year (I started through this app!). It’s been a joy! I’ve cat sat for so many different kitties with different personalities and medical needs. It’s been such a joy to look after especially shy kitties and see them warm up and feel safe in my presence.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I do! I have a senior cat (14 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.

Jonathan

Book Nicole & don’t look back! She took care of our three cats during a vacation & was so communicative about each visit. Nicole took careful note of each cat’s personality, and made an effort to meet their individual needs. We have one very shy girl and another sort of shy boy & by the end the shy boy was playing and co-existing in the same space as Nicole! Nicole also takes great photos for daily updates, is very communicative and personable. Every aspect of Nicole’s personality and approach to this gig put us at ease. This level of attention to detail and willingness to give each cat their own space to warm up in their own time was exactly what we were looking for in a sitter, and we will absolutely be booking Nicole again in the future.

Nicole has the magic touch with shy kitties! I am still shocked and a bit jealous that my babies warmed up SO fast to her! She even broke through the tough exterior of my queen, Bianca, who tolerates other people and only loves me -at least until she met Nicole!

Nicole rocked!! This was our first time having Nicole watch after our kitties and it will not be our last. Each time Nicole came by, we received tons of photos of the babies. She spent time playing with their favorite toys, gave them plenty of love and administered Sylvester’s pill like a surgeon. We will absolutely use Nicole again.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Los Angeles cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $36.00. 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.
