I'm Nicole
Cat Sitting in Pine Brook, NJ
I have two furbabies of my own named Nala and Simba! They are my life! I also volunteer at the Catfé in Montclair since the day it opened!
Between my own experience with my kitties and working closely with over 100 cats at the Catfé, I truly understand that every cat has their own personality, boundaries, and quirks, and I’m very intuitive and... Hi, I’m Nicole! I’m a lifelong animal lover with a special soft spot for cats! Spending time with them is honestly one of the most grounding and joyful parts of my day whether that means playing, cuddling, or simply sitting nearby and letting them do their thing!
I have two furbabies of my own named Nala and Simba! They are my life! I also volunteer at the Catfé in Montclair since the day it opened!
Between my own experience with my kitties and working closely with over 100 cats at the Catfé, I truly understand that every cat has their own personality, boundaries, and quirks, and I’m very intuitive and respectful of that!
I’m naturally nurturing, attentive, and calm, which helps me connect easily with cats of all temperaments! From social and playful to shy or more independent or anxious.
I take pride in being reliable and detail-oriented, making sure feeding routines, litter care, and any specific instructions are followed exactly so your cat feels safe and comfortable while you’re away! I love and treat all cats as if they’re my own!
As someone who is both empathetic and observant, I’m also very tuned in to subtle changes in behavior or mood, and I take that responsibility seriously. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I approach that trust with care, respect, and genuine love!
I also am comfortable with medication management as I have administered pills, ointments, and eye drops.
I’d love to meet you and your special furbaby!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
My cats are Nala (5) and Simba (4)! They’re both rescues, not related to each other. They’re the funniest kitties I know! Simba loves to play fetch with his “sticky” and “springy” while Nala likes to taunt her brother and sit pretty with her arms crossed! They are my literal life! 💝
How do you ensure the safety & security of the cats and the home while cat sitting?
I’m very anxious when it comes to my own cats and they’re safety and security in our own home. I have gates up by our door, I write notes if maintenance has to come into our apartment, and I’m always making sure our place is clean of crumbs, plastic, and other things they might get into. A pet parent never has to worry about their cats’ safety with me. I’m already thinking ahead and planning!
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I’ve worked with all different types of cat personalities. From scared to anxious and timid. For me, I’ve learned to go very slow and respect the cats’ boundaries. They speak to us and as long as they’re respected, even the shyest cat will feel safe enough!

Nicole was a delight to work with. She was very good to my cat, Levi, and he warmed right up to her. She was excellent at learning his needs and making sure all was taken care of. Thank you so much Nicole.

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.
Pine Brook cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $27.00. 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!
