Whether you are out of town for a couple days or need someone to stop by to give medications, I’m your girl. My skills have grown through the years. I am currently a full time veterinary assistant. I absolutely adore all kinds of animals but have a real soft spot for our furry feline friends.. I know all about stubborn kitties as I have 3 cats of my own. 2 of my kitties are super friendly and always want to meet new people, the other silly one is pretty stand offish and wants to be left alone most times, so I understand the difference in personalities. I always want you to feel confident that your furry child is safe and will be well taken care of. I can always send pictures and little videos to make you feel at ease. Feel free to always text me if you have any questions or want an update of your furry child. Im here to ensure you are at ease while out of town.

Learn More About Nicolette

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 3 kitties! My first and most special is my soul cat “Jolie”. She loves to be left alone and wants love on her terms. Although she is stubborn, she has me wrapped around her little toe bean. My next kitty is “Sweeney”, he is considered my teenager. He loves to get into a lot of trouble and will require all the affection that you can give. Last but definitely not least is my little baby girl “Wednesday”. Wednesday is a precious and sweet girl that will never do any wrong, when you are looking.

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

I typically start with discussing the details, how many cats, how many days, etc. I then will recommend and in person meeting so I am able to possibly meet your furry child and introduce myself to the cat parent. I like to do in person introduction to also see where everything is located, food, medication, etc.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I typically stay in town during holidays. So, If you are looking for someone to take care of your furry friend while out of town for that Christmas family reunion that you are required to attend, I’m here for you.

Nicolette was wonderful! I was so grateful to find someone who was comfortable giving injections to my diabetic cat. She came over to meet me and my cats and go over things beforehand. Then she sent photos while I was away which made me feel better about leaving my cats. They were totally fine and comfortable while I was gone. I'm so glad I didn't need to make my cats stressed out by boarding them somewhere. I highly recommend Nicolette!

Nicolete did a fantastic job looking after my cat Dashiell. She sent me pictures and videos every day, and even managed to trim his nails! I would absolutely use her again and recommend her highly.

I can't say enough about how Nicolette helped me. After my aunt passed away, I was in charge of rehoming her cats to their new family in another state. Since I don't have my own cats, I wasn't confident I could give them their medicine or even get them in their crates. Nicolette did both quickly, and we were able to drive this bonded pair to their new home with minimal stress.

Lockport cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $28.00. 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!
