Hello! My name is Nicole and I’m a recent Master’s graduate studying for board exams.

My calm and gentle demeanor have cats gravitate towards me. Even the shyest cats eventually warm up to me and greet me every time they see me.

My deep love for cats snuck up on me unexpectedly after living with a few of the cats I had previously sat for. I’ve sat for several more cats since then, and they always amaze me with their unique personalities. I enjoy bonding with different cats.

My training in Chinese medicine and craniosacral therapy have taught me how to approach all living beings with care and gentleness.

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

I’ve been cat sitting for the past 18 years. I started when I was in high school and have continued ever since in varying degrees.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy connecting with cats and getting to know their quirks. They are such particular creatures, I enjoy witnessing the natural expression of their personalities.

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I’d acknowledge them and make sure I’m in a calm state myself. I let them come to me and check me out before I try to further connect with them.

Everything was great. Nicole took great care of my kitties. I was very nervous because I’ve never left them with someone they don’t know before but she came to all the appointments timely and spent the correct amount of time with them. She had to pill one of my cats twice a day and she took that on like a champ. They all came out for her and seemed to have bonded with her. She sent plenty of pictures and communicated very well with me. I am so happy with Nicole and will have her back again in the future.

Highly recommend! My cat is notoriously picky with affection but Nicole was determined yet patient in getting her to come around. I appreciated that and the detailed notes I got with each visit. Thanks Nicole!

Nicole was amazing! She responded very quickly and asked questions so she knew how to best look after my two cats. I really appreciated that she took the time to send pictures along with making sure they were all taken care of. Highly recommend and thank you again Nicole!

Nicole was great with Reese giving her, her medication, filling her bowl and water and emptying her litter box. She was also great with bringing in newspapers and mail to the backyard, and providing pictures of Reese, to show proof of life, lol I would recommend her to anybody who needs a cat sitter.

Nicole was everything I could have hoped for when leaving my 2 kitties while away on a trip. I felt instant peace when I saw how comfortable they both were during the meet & greet. She took notes, asked clarifying questions, and they loved her, which was the most important part. She took care of them as well as I do and they loved playing with her. Definitely recommend and will ask for her services in the future!

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.

Fort Lauderdale cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!
