Learn More About Nik

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

Pretty much my whole life I have taken care of cats, and know what comes with it, both young and old.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I just love cats in general. They all have such different personalities and I love being around as many as possible.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

One of my neighbors has a very aggressive cat, so it is always a challenge to take care of him, but it is exciting at the same time as it puts my skills to the test.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Weasley and Evie. They are my life and I would do anything for them. Both adopted (one stray, one from the Humane Society.)

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

Look for someone who genuinely loves cats. You want someone who cares about what they are doing so your cat can get the care it deserves.

What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?

Making sure I fully understand what is needed for the visit and what the best approach would be, as every cat is different.

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

I try to imagine as if I am someone else taking care of my own cats. I would give the same respect to someone else’s home and cat as I would want someone to give to me.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes. I travel sometimes but usually stay home for any holiday that is not the main ones like Christmas or Thanksgiving.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Shrimp toy. My cats love anything shrimp as well as toys. Both big as small, I have plenty laying around my house.

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

Just be patient. Don’t force anything to make the cat more scared of you. Body language also matters when working with cats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Gainesville 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 $21.00. 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.
