Learn More About Nicole

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Why yes I do! I am a life-long cat owner. I have 2 teenage male cats currently - their names are Jupiter and Orion! If you ask me about them, I will be sure to show you at least 10 pictures, so ask at your own risk! (They are really cute and I promise you will want to see the pictures)

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

Firstly, I make sure that I am treating your cat and home with respect! That means entering only during the approved times and making sure all doors are locked after I enter and exit. I will also make sure I don’t see anything out of the ordinary, and if I do, I will report it to you immediately!

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I tend to stay home during the holidays and would love to take care of your babies while you are away! Being away from pets, especially during holiday times can be hard. Rest assured, your kitties will be spoiled rotten and given plenty of love (and treats if allowed!) ❤️

Nicole was wonderful with our two cats! Our social cat Percy loved her from the meet and greet, and it only took a couple of visits for shy Lancelot to start running out for belly rubs from her as well. I could tell from the photos how happy they were, and we came back from a two-week trip to a clean home and clearly content cats! Nicole was responsive, detail-oriented, and communicative from the beginning, and I will ask her to watch Percy and Lancelot again in a heartbeat.

Nicole is very knowledgeable with cats and I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. She sent multiple photos of each kitten with a paragraph of updates, which was so appreciated during my trip. One of my kittens had recently been spayed and I was worried about the healing; she made sure to mention it in each update. She's very kind and attenative to my worries and what my cats needs. I recommend Nicole to anyone who is looking and would definitely re-hire her in the future.

Nicole was amazing! When we first met her and showed her our cats and their routine, she was dutifully taking notes the entire time. She asked thoughtful questions and was very friendly. Then, while we were away, Nicole would send as at least 10 photos per day and a very long message about how they were doing! She was extremely detailed in her messages and it really felt like she loved and cared for our babies. Upon returning to our apartment, everything was nice and tidy and our cats seemed very happy! She even left us a very sweet hand-written card! Thank you, Nicole, for taking care of our babies while we were away! We really appreciate you and are very grateful for all your help.

I am very delighted to have come across Nicole. It is always the biggest concern to leave my cats behind when I have to travel, but having my cats in Nicole's good hands, I feel I can plan my trips more often. She is very familiar with cats and took loving care of my two cats. She took notes and asked great questions when she paid a visit for a meet and greet, and visited at a regular time everyday, which was not a strong requirement, but surely helpful for my cats to experience a consistent routine. Nicole sent detailed updates on my cats, such as where they were, what they were doing when she arrived, how much they ate, and observed their feces when she cleaned the litter boxes. She also sent me photos that put smile on my face each day. My cats were clearly happy with her and one of them rubbed his cheek against hers. I found it very impressive that Nicole let my cats' guard down so quickly! Nicole also kindly offered to water my plants. There are good cat sitters out there, but for me, Nicole is at the next level! I'll definitely would like to hire Nicole whenever I am away from home.

Nicole was extremely responsive from the get-go of reaching out. We had never had someone outside friends or family watching our cats, but since it was a long trip, we wanted to hire someone who we could trust. I’m so glad we found Nicole! We had a wonderful meet and greet and felt we could trust her right away. She asked great questions, took notes and was immediately sweet to our cats. We got multiple pictures and updates each visit, and was responsive to all my messages. Would 10/10 recommend her!

Nicole did an outstanding job caring for my two cats. She was very responsible and fantastic working with them. Throughout the week, she consistently provided detailed updates with many pictures each visit. I was also pleased that I never needed to remind her of anything. She was thoughtful working with my younger and highly energetic cat, supporting many different enrichments for his zoomies. She also helped redirect him, as he is currently in an exploratory phase, and used great judgment to support him. In updates, I could see both cats really loved seeing her, and I returned home to calm, happy cats. I highly recommend Nicole, and I plan to reserve time with her again in the future.

I'm thrilled to write my second review for Nicole! After such a wonderful experience in November, I didn't hesitate to book her again for my recent trip. Nicole's performance has been consistently excellent, which speaks volumes about her reliability and genuine care for animals. Having Nicole as my go-to cat sitter has truly changed how I approach travel planning. Knowing my cats are in her capable hands removes the stress that used to hold me back from making trips. She maintains the same high standard of care every time—arriving at regular times, sending detailed updates about my cats' behavior and eating habits, and including photos that brighten my day while I'm away. What I appreciate most is coming home to happy, well-cared-for cats and a clean house. It's clear Nicole treats my home and my pets with respect and attention. My cats continue to warm up to her quickly, which confirms she has that special touch with animals. As a repeat customer, I can genuinely say that Nicole's consistency is rare and valuable. She's not just a good cat sitter—she's someone I trust completely, and that makes all the difference. I'll continue to hire her whenever I travel.

Nicole is super sweet and attentive. She made sure our kitties were well taken care of. She followed special feeding intructions for our older cat and played with our kittens to show them extra love while we were away. Flexible, thoughtful and gave detailed updates.

Nicole was Amazing! She is so friendly, and our cats absolutely loved her! She made sure to update us every visit with precious photos and detailed summaries. This was the first time we spent time away from our fur babies, yet we felt so relieved we found someone who gave our cats all the care, love and attention they needed while we were gone. As soon as we got home we noticed how happy and healthy our cats looked (they are on a special diet so this was great to see). Our cats mean the world to us and now we don't know if we would trust anyone other than Nicole with them, I couldn't recommend her services enough(:

Nicole is always the absolute BEST with my cats. She really went above and beyond with this last reservation, and it really helped me keep my peace of mind during my vacation. And, to top it off, my normally very shy cat came around to a new person (in this case Nicole) in record time! I think that speaks so much for how great Nicole is!

Upon first meeting Nicole we knew right away she was going to be a great fit for our cats. Nicole is thorough, dependable, and trustworthy. She even brought a laser toy to play with our cats which was so nice. She sent updates and pictures after every visit which we so appreciate. We highly recommend Nicole if you’re looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter!

Nicole took care of my cat, Luna, while I had to go away on an emergency. She was readily available, checked in with me often, and took excellent care of Luna. When I got back, Luna was happy and obviously very well taken care of. I will definitely ask Nicole to take care of Luna again.

Frequently Asked Questions

Walnut Creek cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $37.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
