Learn More About Nicholas

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

I’m experienced with a broad range of cats including kittens, seniors, sick cats, and cats with special needs. I’m familiar with administering medications, applying ointments, using asthma inhalers, and accommodating mobility-assisting devices. I’ve been taking care of cats in a formal capacity since 2010, and joined the Meowtel community in late 2024 after relocating to Collingswood.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Building relationships with cats in an incredibly rewarding experience. Gaining a cat’s trust takes time and effort, and each cat requires different kinds of attention. I love bonding with cats of all kinds, and would look forward to taking care of your pets!

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

I’ll never forget my first time taking care of Athena, one of the sweetest cats I’ve ever met! It was an overnight stay and the little furball didn’t want to be alone. She was a nighttime toe nibbler, but once she got it out of her system, she spent the night desperate to be a little spoon until breakfast.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have two four-year-old cats! There is Pabu, an alleged Turkish Van mixed up with a hot mess of other stuff, and Momo, a Siamese flame point. Both were adopted from the Stray Cat Alliance back in their hometown of the streets of Los Angeles. The two are extremely bonded, often inseparable, and absolutely lovely.

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

It's okay if the first sitter you meet isn't the right fit. Always set up a Meet & Greet prior the dates you're in need of a sitter to allow yourself extra time in the event you need to continue your search. It's crucial that not only do you feel a sense of trust between you and your sitter, but also between your cats and your sitter. Make sure your sitter is aware of your cats' needs and personalities, and that they follow the lead of your cat as to not overstep any boundaries.

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

I always like to start off by arranging a Meet & Greet to learn more about the client, introduce myself to their cats, and to make sure I can provide the care and support that is required. During this time I like to ask some questions about the cats’ personalities, routines, and any special needs the cat might need. I also like to make note of the clients schedules and what their expectations are, as to make sure I provide neither too few or too many updates.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Almost always! I am very fortunate to live in close proximity to the entirety of my family, so unless we’re taking the rare vacation out of town, you can count on me being here.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Definitely those little springs! They’re often big enough as to not get lost under furniture, and bouncy enough to exhaust a cat when he or she enters chaos mode!

Nicholas was fantastic. He somehow charmed my shy kitties into interacting with him and managed to get my cat to take his medication. Nicholas responds promptly to messages and sent me great photos of the cats, all of which was very reassuring while we were away. I highly recommend him!

Nick was excellent. He sent multiple updates/photos while I was away to let me know my kitty was well taken care of. He stuck to the provided schedule and left my house super clean. Excited to have Nick back in a few weeks while I’m on vacation.

Nicholas did a fantastic job taking care of our needy boy while we were on vacation. our cat has separation anxiety and can become quite moody to strangers but nicholas handled him with grace and ease and gave him the chance to be his usual sweet self to him. We will definitely be using him in the future and would definitely recommend him for anyone who has a cat who needs good calm vibes.

Nick was an awesome cat sitter! He went above and beyond making sure my cats litter box was clean, did a great job at giving her daily medication, and provided me with updates each day while I was away! Would absolutely recommend him and trust him to watch my cats in the future!

Nicholas was great with our guy Izzy and just overall all kind, communicative, and helpful. We’ve had a lot of trouble finding a sitter over the last few years (especially with a spritely but senior cat), but Nicholas delivered and did exactly as he said he would.

Nicholas has watched my cat while I’ve been out of town multiple times now, and I can’t recommend him enough! He is thorough in checking on things like his food, water and litter-box, and my cat loves spending time with him.

Frequently Asked Questions

Oaklyn cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $23.00. 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. Cat sitters on Meowtel 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 you can find the best options which are close by.

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 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 typically includes 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. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
