Learn More About Nikki

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I enjoy earning their trust, learning their routines, and being a comforting presence while their humans are away. Spending time, caring for, and knowing I’m helping them feel safe and loved is rewarding for me.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have three fur babies of my own - Georgia, Marky Mark, and Rip. They bring me joy and laughs everyday!

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

When caring for timid or anxious cats, I take a calm and quiet approach. I avoid sudden movements and loud noises. My goal is to reduce stress even if that means simply being a quiet, reassuring presence.

Nikki was really good. No problems or issues. Although my cat's are very shy, and she only saw 1 of them. There wasn't much to do, but yes I would recommend her definitely. I'm hoping you get a great chance to meet. Very kind gentle person.

I have never met anyone who loves cats nor who, in return, cats love more than Nikki. She has a special way with them and they know she is trustworthy and safe. She loves them like children and is very responsible and respectful of them and the homes she sits for. She sat for my pets twice while I was away for a week each time and she was great with them and also clean and respectful of my home. I would highly recommend Nikki as a sitter.

I have known Nikki for 36 years and I trust her with my life (literally), this includes my pets but also my children who are my world. We call her the cat whisperer because she’s never met a cat that she couldn’t sweet talk out of letting her pet them. She loves all animals, but cats have always been her favorite. If Nikki is caring for your cat, consider yourself lucky and maybe play the lottery because you’ve hit the jackpot!

Frequently Asked Questions

Lakeland cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every cat sitter on Meowtel has been background-checked and reviewed. Every Meowtel reservation may come with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation may come with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
