My primary occupation is in music 🎶. I teach music at a private music school as well has have my own piano students that come to my house/studio. Bagheera loves when I have students over because he gets extra pets from them :)
If you choose me to be your cat-sitter, I will give your kitties all the love and attention they need (and probably some more 😻). I will also make sure to care and respect with any needs they have whether medicinal or giving them space if they’re shy and timid

Nicole was awesome! She is a very competent and thoughtful cat sitter who goes above and beyond. She had no problem with giving meds daily to one of our cats, was on top of communicating how each visit went, and she gave us such peace of mind while we were out of town. Nicole sent so many wonderful photos and videos and we could tell our cats were happy too 😺We will definitely be booking with her again 😊

My fussy former feral cat took to Nicole immediately and seeing photos of her playing and sitting on Nicole’s lap really helped alleviate the guilt of being away.

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.

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.
San Diego cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $32.00. 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!

Nicole was amazing from the start! We had a quick meet and greet and she was so personable – my usually shy cat who hides under the bed any time someone comes over, stayed out to take a peek! She was great at communication and sending pictures and videos. I was able to fully relax on vacation knowing my cat was being so well taken care of!

Nicole was an amazing sitter to my four cats, she was kind and attentive to all their needs and went above and beyond. I also received lots of photos and videos of my kitties while I was away which made me so happy. Thank you for everything, Nicole! 🩷

Nicole did a fantastic job taking care of my cat! She gave great updates and photos/videos and i knew my kitty was in great hands the whole time I was away. She was very thorough and would love to have her look after my cat anytime!

Having Nicole take care of my precious fur-baby while I was away proved to be an excellent decision. Jessica was much happier being looked after in her normal environment and Nicole took the time to charm this once feral kitten. Great communicator, followed my two pages of instruction to the letter and I really appreciated all the photos and updates while I was away. would whole heartedly recommend her.

I can't recommend Nicole enough! She was an absolute delight to work with and went above and beyond to care for our boy. Not only did she keep his spaces spotless, but she also managed to charm our sometimes spicy kitty—no small feat! We'll definitely be booking her again. Highly recommend!

My husband and I were very concerned about leaving our furbies alone for two weeks while vacationing overseas. Nicole quickly put our minds at ease and took extra special care of our two kitties. She provided updates and great pics of them during our trip...which helped us because we missed them : ) Highly recommend Nicole for other cat owners! We'll most certainly request her services again.

Nicole went above and beyond and kept my lil baby 🐱 company while I was away visiting famil! 10/10 recommend connecting with her if you're searching for a cat sitter who you can count on☺️ Yes, she sent pics/vids/updates during each visit... but what I loved most during my experience was having the ability to trust that Nicole genuinely enjoyed the time she spent with my cutie pie!🐱🤍
Response from Nicole
Thank you for such a kind review! It’s true though, your cat is such a cutie pie and any time I spent with her felt fast-forwarded and so quick because of how sweet she was towards me. 💛
