Loving And Experienced Cat Care

I'm Nina

Cat Sitting in Chicopee, MA

Hi! I’m Nina, a lifelong animal lover with an especially big soft spot for cats. I truly enjoy meeting new cats, learning their individual personalities, and earning their trust.

I was very lucky to have my cat, Salem, for 16 wonderful years. Later in her life, she was diagnosed with cancer and needed multiple medications every day. Caring for her gave me hands-on experience administering medication and caring for a cat who needed extra patience, attention, and compassion.

I understand that every cat is different. Some want lots of affection, playtime, and attention, while others are shy and need their space. I believe in letting cats approach me at their own pace and never forcing interaction...
Hi! I’m Nina, a lifelong animal lover with an especially big soft spot for cats. I truly enjoy meeting new cats, learning their individual personalities, and earning their trust.

I was very lucky to have my cat, Salem, for 16 wonderful years. Later in her life, she was diagnosed with cancer and needed multiple medications every day. Caring for her gave me hands-on experience administering medication and caring for a cat who needed extra patience, attention, and compassion.

I understand that every cat is different. Some want lots of affection, playtime, and attention, while others are shy and need their space. I believe in letting cats approach me at their own pace and never forcing interaction.

During visits, I’ll follow your cat’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping them company—whatever makes them happiest and most comfortable. I’ll also pay close attention to their behavior and well-being while you’re away.

I’ll carefully follow any instructions you leave for me and make sure your home is treated with the same care and respect as your cat.

I know how hard it can be to leave your cat behind, so I’ll send photos and updates during my visits so you can see how they’re doing and have some extra peace of mind.

Losing Salem was incredibly difficult for me, and I still miss her very much. Being able to care for and connect with other cats genuinely makes me happy. I’ll treat your cats with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own.

I look forward to meeting you and your cats!

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

When working with a new cat parent, I like to learn as much as I can about their cat and their normal routine. I want to know their feeding schedule, litter box routine, favorite toys and activities, personality, any medications or special needs, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable and secure. I also like to know about any little quirks they may have! My goal is to keep things as familiar and consistent as possible while their family is away. I’m always happy to follow detailed instructions, and I’ll send photos and updates so you know how your kitty is doing.

How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?

I take the responsibility of caring for someone’s cat and home very seriously. I carefully follow all instructions, make sure doors and windows are secure, and always double-check that the cat is safely inside before entering or leaving. I’ll keep an eye out for anything unusual with your cat’s behavior, eating, drinking, or litter box habits and let you know if I notice anything concerning. I’ll also treat your home with care and respect, just as I would want someone to treat mine.

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

I believe trust should happen on the cat’s terms. If a cat is timid or anxious, I won’t force them to interact with me or pull them out of their hiding place. I’ll give them space, move calmly, speak softly, and let them become comfortable with my presence at their own pace. If they’re interested, I can use treats, toys, or gentle interaction to help build trust. Even if a shy kitty decides they’d rather observe me from across the room, that’s perfectly okay with me! My priority is making them feel safe and comfortable while their family is away.

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.

Chicopee 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 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!
