Nikki graciously agreed to look after our kitties when we needed last minute care. She was extremely flexible and communicative. She sent regular updates with photos while we were away and left our apartment in good condition. I even mistakenly included the wrong dates for the booking and Nikki was extremely patient and understanding. Will absolutely have Nikki look after our kitties again.

My first time leaving my babies with a sitter so naturally anxious about it, but Nikki was AMAZING! she provided photos and check in’s everyday and even brought up a couple packages for me. Also she got Ian my usually very shy and skiddish cat to come out the first night, talk about cat whisperer. I would highly recommend Nikki to watch over your kitties!

Nikki went the extra mile when I needed her most. I got my dates mixed up and accidentally failed to book a visit for the day of my flight. nonetheless, Nikki was able to squeeze in an additional last minute visit. when I came home, my kitty was calm, well fed, and happy. thanks Nikki!

Nikki was wonderful. Handled our two weird cats perfectly. Showed up exactly when she said she would and sent extensive and timely updates after every visit. Would trust our cats to her again with no hesitation.

Nikki was a great sitter for our cat! She checked in and provided a picture every time. She was accommodating with key exchange and also very responsive and communicative. We’re thankful she was available over the holiday. I would book her again.

Nikki is an amazing cat sitter! She’s very kind, responsible, and communicates clearly throughout the visit. My cat liked her right away, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated the cute photo updates she sent. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter.

Nikki is very responsive and took good care of my kitty while I was away. Gave him love, attention, cuddles, and kept him in his routine while I was away, so it made him less anxious when I got home. She sent great daily updates and gave me peace of mind so I could enjoy my trip fully.

Nikki is awesome and I would 100% love to have her come stay with the kitties again! She did a two week overnight stay, and everything went super smooth from the moment the reservation was initiated! Nikki is super speedy with comms, and sent daily updates on Charlie and Olive while we were gone. She was sooooo good with the cats and you can tell she loves being around them! It was very easy to communicate with her, and I appreciated how she initiated planning a meet and greet a couple of weeks prior to us leaving. This made me feel super comfortable. We came home to two happy kitties and a clean home. This was my first time booking with a pet sitting app, and I will definitely do it again for future trips! Thank you Nikki for everything!!

Nikki was amazing with our cats! She was even able to get our shy kitty to come out for playtime and snuggles!

Nikki was excellent. She bonded with our shy little kitty right away, was very conscientious about feeding, and spent extra time at our house to give her the playtime every kitten needs. Hope to have her back soon.

Nikki did such an amazing job looking after our two senior kitties for a few days. She made sure to check in with us during each visit and send pictures to help us feel at ease that our cats were well taken care of and happy in our absence. We will for sure keep her in mind next time we need a sitter. Highly recommend!

Our kitties love Nikki, and just as importantly she loves them back. We have now had Nikki watch our kitties twice for two-week stretches, and we wouldn’t hesitate to have her watch them again. She sends great daily updates with photos that keep us connected to our little furr babies. We trust her with our kitties and home.

Nikki was an ideal sitter for our kitties - I knew from the enthusiastic reaction she had during our virtual meet and greet that she was going to give them the attention they deserved! She sent tons of live photos of our cats and was attentive to the instructions we left, taking care to give one of our boys his pill both in the morning and evening. Our most shy cat apparently walked up to her right away - a ringing endorsement! Thanks again Nikki!

Nikki has a wonderful positive gentle energy with cats and also with humans. She was very flexible with our chaotic schedule, and a great communicator. We felt so safe trusting out delicate hairless kitties with her.

Nikki was wonderful!!! She took care of our cat for a few days around Christmas, and she did a fantastic job. Our shy cat Mango LOVED Nikki, and we loved looking at all of the pictures Nikki would send in her updates. Nikki was very timely with her responses, a perfect communicator, and was overall a pleasure to work with. We are definitely looking forward to working with her again!

I had to cancel at the last minute, but Nikki was very nice and concerned about kitty who had gotten sick. I kept reservation and paid her because she did meet with us and was prompt and polite and I would have left my kitties with her, before one needed emergency care (then she needs her mommy, not a babysitter) :) I have zero concerns and would use her again and hopefully actually go that time!

Up front and early communication on my first reservation. Clear updates and photos of my cat during her overnight stay. Easy piece of mind that Nikki was the right person to have in my home looking after my cat. She's the first person I reach out to on Meowtel now.

We could not have been happier with our whole experience with Nikki and Meowtel. We had never left our kitties for more than a week, and we knew that a drop-in cat sitter would not be enough companionship for our little fur babies, so we really wanted an overnight sitter. Nikki provided the peace of mind that we needed. She kept us updated regularly with photos and it was clear the kitties enjoyed her company, bonded with her, and were loved in our absence. Nikki left the house spotless and in order for our return. We will definitely use Nikki and Meowtel again.

Nikki was very sweet and got along very well with my cat. She stayed overnight and helped my cat deal with my absence. I have a long list of instructions for taking care of my cat and Nikki was able to handle all of it with no issues. She was very communicative and I felt at ease being away from my cat with all the photos she sent.

I really appreciate Nikki watching our cats while we were away. I loved the pictures she sent after each visit. I highly recommend her!

Nikki took excellent care of my cats, making sure they had everything they needed including play! I received daily updates with pictures so I knew they were doing well. I would definitely recommend her for to take care of your pets while you are away

I really appreciated that Nikki was prompt with her responses and as the other reviewers have already said, she was friendly, reliable and communicative. She was also super flexible, as my request was a made on the same week as my departure since one of my normal sitters was out of town. My cat, who requires a lot of playtime due to kitty separation anxiety, was in a great mood when I returned from my weekend trip and I love that Nikki gave her TLC while I was gone. I definitely would book Nikki again should my cat need a sitter again.

AMAZING!!! Nikki is truly THE BEST!!! I went out of town for two weeks and came home to two of the happiest, softest (they got TONS of love!) most well-adjusted kitties I had ever seen. Nikki truly has a magic touch!! As a crazy-cat-lady, I KNOW when my kitties have been well taken care of and it SHOWS!! Not only that, but Nikki kept me updated daily with pictures and texts to let me know my babies were happy and in safe hands. What a relief for a stressy mom! I've never been away from them this long and Nikki put my heart and mind at ease every step of the way. Plus I came home to some VERY happy little furballs- the TRUE sign of a good cat sitter! I can't believe my luck at having found Nikki, especially after years of trying to find someone who was able to stay over at my place! You will be SO glad you booked Nikki!!

Really enjoyed having Nikki take care of our little one. She was a pro, and like the other reviews mention, the apartment was cleaner than when we left it. I've already booked Nikki for another visit, and hope that everyone is as lucky as we are to have someone so trustworthy and wonderful to care for their animals. Thanks Nikki!

Second time having Nikki take care of Dooley and we were just as happy as the first. So grateful for her care and updates. Makes us feel great knowing he is in great hands when we have to travel.

This was our first Meowtel experience and we will be happy to use Meowtel again because of Nikki! She took great care of George and Gracie. Thsnk you, Nikki!

Nikki was awesome and always reliable. Our cats warmed right up to her again and looked very happy in the pictures. We already booked her for our next big trip!

Nikki was a fantastic sitter for our two kittens! She was very responsive and provided great updates throughout the day. The kittens loved her and enjoyed her company while we were out of town.

Came home to completely contented cats after two weeks away! This makes us believe Nikki was excellent company while we were away. So happy our babes are happy.

Nikki was amazing! Our cats were very well taken care of. Nikki was very communicative and we felt very safe leaving our cats with her. We would definitely have Nikki look after our cats again.

Nikki was a fantastic cat sitter! We got updates every single day for how our cats were doing and she followed all the care steps we asked for. Our place even looked nicer than when we left it! We look forward to booking her again the next time we need a sitter

Nikki is very reliable and gave fun updates. I hope I can work with her again because she took such good care of my cats!

Nikki always takes amazing care of our cat while we are away. She is extremely responsive, sends great updates, and goes above & beyond to give him love.

Nikki was great! She was able to check on our shy cats and sent us lots of pictures while we were out of town and was very responsive!

Wonderful sitter. Nikki took excellent care of my cats while I was away. She took the time to get to know them and would update me with pictures of how they were doing. Highly recommend as a top sitter!

This was our third time having Nikki look after our two senior cats and she did a great job as always. We know we can trust that our kitties will be well taken care of while we're out of town and we'll hear from her with each visit how things are going. I recommend Nikki for your cat care needs.

Nikki was great! She was sure to always send photos and videos and my cat loved her!

Overall Nikki did an awesome job watching over my kitties. They looked like they had a lot of fun in the photos she sent me. Super thankful for my kitties being taken care of while I was away 💕

I have only the best things to say about Nikki! She was responsive and kind :-)

Nikki is the best! My fur baby adored her and it was such a comfort when I was gone to know that he was in such good care. When I came home, he was happy and non-anxious meaning he did not have the separation anxiety he usually has. Highly recommend Nikki as a sitter!

Nikki charmed our shy Coco in no time. 💕 Great communication - totally on top of all the details.

Nikki was very detail oriented and fast to respond !

Nikki did a wonderful job taking care of our boys! She took awesome photos, and even our shy kitty enjoyed playtime with Nikki :)

Our cats are senior- rescue kitties. We felt guilty going on holiday until we met Nikki. Nikki immediately put our fears and worry at ease, kept us posted daily with behavior, and photo check ins, and made the entire experience very very positive and allowed us to o have a fabulous holiday. We are so grateful for her, she’s a true and trustworthy gem with your kitty angels! 😻

Nikki took such good care of our senior cat Olive - lots of love in addition to all the basics. She's a delight to work with - great communication, very organized and reliable.

Nikki has now sat for us twice, and both times have been fantastic! She's very communicative and accommodating. Highly recommended.

Nikki was great, and made me feel comfortable leaving my cats for the first time

Nikki did a wonderful job taking care of our cats and shared lots of pictures. She will be my top choice when booking a sitter in the future!

Nicole is a cat sitter in the Goleta area. Her profile has been verified and her references have been checked by Meowtel.
