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. And yes, that is shameless SEO, but my clients will back me up on this. Here’s my origin story: back in 2014, my life was changed forever when I met my best friend, a big gray cat named Handles, or as I called him, “the Schman.” I loved him so - he passed away in 2023, and to honor his memory, I want to spread love and comfort to as many cats and kittens as I can. I currently have two pets brightening my day: a black-and-white 3 year-old cat named Miss Cleo and a feisty pomeranian known that I call Sweet Potato. I’m what they call “good with cats.” I ...

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.

I’ve booked with Nick twice and both times, he’s gone above and beyond taking care of my kitty. This is clearly someone who adores cats, and you don’t need to worry when he’s your caretaker.

Nick was great about communicating, and my kitty was happy as a clam to meet him! His updates were detailed and made me feel like my cat was in excellent hands while I was away.

Nick was caring, conscientious, considerate, careful, and thorough during his time with my cats. He took notes when he came to introduce himself and paid attention to them. He didn’t get discouraged when they hid, and carried on. The cats ate and looked great when I returned home.

Nick was excellent! I felt really confident that my cats were being well taken care of. He is very responsive and took careful notes and followed through on all of my detailed instructions, even the little things! Will book again!

nick came through super last minute for my two cats after my sitter canceled the day before my trip! he was such a lifesaver and he took time to really understand my two senior cats’ routines. while i was away he did such a great job with them and sent photos and updates every day! my shy girls warmed up to him, which isn’t always the case. thanks again nick!

The Meowtel Promise & Satisfaction Guarantee

We are proud to provide each of our independently-contracted Meowtel cat sitters with the full benefits of our Meowtel Promise on eligible reservations. For reservations where each visit is at or above $20 and paid for through Meowtel, your cat(s) will automatically be covered under our insurance policy in the event that things don't go as planned.

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 $32.00. 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.
