I've grown up with lots of animals, from cats and dogs to lizards and goats. I love all animals. I have my rescue cats with me while I'm in grad school, and they're an amazing little pack. Getting to know cats and their unique personalities is always so fun. I've pet sat for friends and family many times, and I treat every pet like they're my own. If I get the honor of spending time with your cat(s), I'll do my best to help them feel comfortable while you're away - whether that's by playing, giving pets, or just hanging out in the same space.

Learn More About Nissa

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes! The two cats I brought with me to grad school are Pixel and Crouton. Pixel is incredibly smart and food motivated. Crouton is happy to follow along so long as Pixel is leading. I also have two younger cats, Taro and Khao.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I'm from Illinois so I'm not usually too far. I'm also a grad student so I can't leave my research for too long. Spending time with cats is a great break from working in the lab!

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

Cats are very good at telling you what they're comfortable with, if you know what to look for. Definitely start slow and respectful. A nervous cat that learns they can trust you can become a great friendship.

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.

Lafayette 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 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 Meet & Greet!
