Nicole's Kitties Of All Ages Cat Care

I'm Nicole

Cat Sitting in Ballwin, MO

Hi! I’m Nicole Oberg and I have been a proud cat parent since I was three years old. I currently have a seven year old fluff named Sterling & we have had an adorable black Tabby, Henry as our roommate. Henry’s mom is my best friend and in the Navy, so he has been with us for three years!

I would also like to gloat that my boyfriend’s Manx, Lily officially loves and trusts me (this is a rarity for her). I love to get to know each cat’s personalities and respect them at their comfort limits. ...
Hi! I’m Nicole Oberg and I have been a proud cat parent since I was three years old. I currently have a seven year old fluff named Sterling & we have had an adorable black Tabby, Henry as our roommate. Henry’s mom is my best friend and in the Navy, so he has been with us for three years!

I would also like to gloat that my boyfriend’s Manx, Lily officially loves and trusts me (this is a rarity for her). I love to get to know each cat’s personalities and respect them at their comfort limits. I am fairly good with human’s too. I would love to have the opportunity to take care of your pets as if they were my own while you’re away and cater to any special needs that you as parents or the kitties may have.

*While I am comfortable administering medication to kitties, I would like to get to know their personality first. I would very much dislike for a skittish cat to hide from me and not be able to get their scheduled medication due to a large piece of furniture standing between us.

Learn More About Nicole

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

Taking care of kitties has truly been a passion of mine since elementary school when I momentarily created a pet sitting 'company' and for some reason, a lot of neighbors allowed me - as a child- to pet sit! I have been lucky to do overnight stays during Winter Holidays for a few different families as well as shorter visits where I got to keep kitties company and maximize spoiling the babies for brief periods of time. I am currently in the longest cat sitting job I’ve ever had! My childhood best friend is in the Navy and had to move to Japan for three years. I have been entrusted with my bestie’s baby for the past three years! She loves when I send her pictures of Henry and when he video calls her.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a very sweet boy cat named Sterling Mallory Miffens (Joseph when he’s in trouble). Henry, my “couch kitty” lives with me as well. His mom has been away for three years and asked me to take him in. I love him and I cannot wait for Henry and his mom to be reunited! I spend a lot of time with a little girl, Lily. She’s a Manx and is very food motivated!

What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?

When you are looking to hire a cat sitter I believe you should be very picky and find the person who will best fit your kitty’s personality. They come first, so a good rapport between kitty and sitter is important! Also, if your baby is extremely affectionate I suggest booking overnights so that your cats has someone to snuggle; for a skittish kitty an overnight or longer duration visits allows me to bond with the cat on their terms in their time.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I am typically available during holidays! I would love to celebrate the holidays with your kitties!

What is your favorite cat toy?

I love a wand toy with a retractable string. My cat, Sterling goes crazy for the feathers at the end of it and will chase me and the “bird” around until he has caught to his heart’s content. This is also my favorite toy for safety reasons. Sterling is notorious for attempting to eat string… the retractable string ensures that when he and I aren’t playing together, he can not accidentally eat the string.

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

I am a naturally soft-spoken person so that helps to not intensify timid and anxious cats. Hanging out with me is completely on their terms. I like to know from the cat parents if their baby is food motivated or toy motivated so I can offer the cats what they enjoy in their comfort space.

This is our third time using Nicole as our pet sitter, and she once again did such a good job with our cats! We have three cats, one of which is 20 years old and special needs. Nicole always makes sure to build a strong bond with him, and is careful and efficient with administering his many medications. One of our other cats can be very slow to warm up to new people. Thanks to lots of patience and kindness from Nicole, they are now absolute besties! It is clear that Nicole cares for animals, and she does a great job of meeting them where they're at and ensuring they are safe and comfortable. We are so grateful to continue to get to work with her!

Nicole did an absolutely amazing job with our three cats during a two week vacation we took. One of our senior cats, Ares, is special needs and requires several oral medications twice a day. Nicole administered all medications flawlessly, and she was very intentional in creating a close bond with Ares as well. She treated all three of our babies with great care, and sent plenty of updates and pictures while we were away. She's very clearly cares about animals, and her dedication to their safety and well-being showed throughout the entire process. We highly recommend Nicole!

We could not be happier with the care Nicole provided while watching our two cats for two weeks over the holidays. From start to finish, she was absolutely fantastic. She sent us daily updates with photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away and truly showed how attentive and caring she is. She followed all instructions perfectly, made sure our cats were comfortable, fed, and loved, and clearly took the time to bond with them. Coming home to two happy, relaxed cats was the best confirmation that they were in excellent hands. Reliable, communicative, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. This is exactly what you hope for in a cat sitter and more. We would absolutely book her again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional pet care.

Nicole watched our girls for a week while we visited my husbands family for the holidays and with this being my first time away from them for more than one night, I was very anxious and sad to not be with them. However, they warmed up to Nicole very quickly and really enjoyed being around her which put me more at ease. She also always sent updates after the visits to keep me updated and always included pictures + videos which I appreciated more than she knows! We are very happy to have found Nicole to watch our girls and will definitely use her in the future when needed! I highly recommended her to take care of your kitties ❤️

Nicole did an amazing job caring for our 3 cats while we were on vacation. she made sure they had everything they needed, and even reached out when she noticed my Feliway diffusers were low. We loved getting her messages, photos, and videos. it was nice to see their furry faces and know they were doing well.

We were so happy with Nicole watching our cat for a week! She was incredibly reliable and communicative, sending us daily updates and super cute photos, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Nicole took excellent care of Popcorn, making sure his food and water were always fresh, the litter box was clean, and even playing with him. We highly recommend Nicole and will definitely book her again!!

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!
