I'm Nick | Cat Sitting in Brookline, MA

Hi! Thanks so much for considering me to watch over your little pal. I’ve been told I’m one of the Greater Boston Area’s best cat sitters. The dozens of positive reviews you can see here attest to it. I’m what they call “good with cats.” I respect each little guy’s space and personality, and do my personal best never to bother them (unless they want to be bothered). I’m used to cleaning litter boxes, preparing meals, and engaging with them for quality time. I also know how to take care of animals with special needs, and will follow any instruction left to the letter. I've got experience with all sorts of medications and inhalers. I’m happy to work with your cat’s daily rhythms and try to aim my visits for the right t...

Learn More About Nick

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

I’ve taken care of cats for friends for a number of years - I think the first time I ever checked in on a little dude solo was probably a decade ago or so - and have recently shifted into doing this on Meowtel so that I can hang out with more cats!

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love it when kitties are happy to see me - the second visit, after they realize that I’m the food dude, most cats typically go nuts.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

This feels like a trick question - every one of my cat sitting reservations is my favorite. That’s the best part: you get to meet so many great little guys, all with their own charms and quirks.

Nick took great care of our kitties including the medication that needed to be applied. When Nick first came to meet our kitties I was impressed with the detailed notes he took for their care. We feel quite at ease knowing our loved ones are in great hands. To top it off….he’s a nice guy.

Nick was amazing with the energetic, feisty, and temperamental Desmond. In addition to following our instructions perfectly and communicating quickly and effectively, he also made thoughtful (welcome and solicited) suggestions about ways to adjust Desmond’s environment and schedule to make him happier and help regulate his moods. We feel very fortunate to have found Nick and look forward to having him visit Desmond again.

Nick was awesome taking care of my 2 kitties and being flexible with their/my needs and schedule. He was a great communicator and felt trusted from the start. My cats showed they were more than appreciative of his time & extra love during his visit.

Nick was great! We were away for two weeks. Our cat is very anxious and doesn't really like to interact with other people so I was quite worried about leaving him. I got great updates every day with a summary and picture. Nick also gave our cat his anxiety medication without any issues. Pelos seems to have done well in our absence.

Nick is the best cat sitter ever. He has been taking care of Asher for quite some time now and we’re so grateful for him. Asher definitely loves him and he feels very comfortable around him. Nick is always very responsive and he sends awesome photos.

Frequently Asked Questions

Brookline cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes 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 comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
