Cat Sitting in Walnut Creek, CA

Hi there! My name is Nicole and I am a nurse here in the East Bay. I absolutely adore cats and have 2 babies of my own, Jupiter & Orion!

I have had cats my whole life and know that they deserve only the best when it comes to their care. I hope to be able to care for your kitty while you are at work, on vacation, etc! As a nurse, I have dedicated my life to helping others, and that extends to animals as well :) I have had many cats throughout my life (I come from a home full of crazy cat-people) and have had social kitties, scaredy cats, and very rambunctious babies. I feel I am well-equipped to build a comfortable environment with your animal as it’s what I do in my work every day!

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 absolutely fantastic and truly went above and beyond. From our meet and greet, my anxiety was eased knowing she would be caring for Gertie and Melvin. She was thorough, respectful, and made me feel completely comfortable having her in my home. She didn’t just take great care of my cats, she also brought in the mail, put out the garbage cans, and emptied the litter genie. Everything was done perfectly. Gertie isn’t always the friendliest with new people, but she seemed genuinely comfortable around Nicole, which says everything. Nicole also sent daily messages with photos and updates, which I really appreciated. I felt so at ease while I was away that I didn’t have to worry at all. I can’t recommend her enough and will absolutely be booking with her again.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Walnut Creek cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $37.00. 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!
