In addition to being a cat sitter, I am a Certified Cat Trainer and Behavior Modification Consultant. I specialize in preventing, managing, and modifying challenging behavior in cats... MEOW! I AM NANCI, A CAT SITTER IN RIO RANCHO AND SURROUNDING AREAS.
Hello fellow cat parents! Are you looking for someone reliable and trustworthy to make sure your Feline Furbaby is well taken care of and loved while you are away? Someone that will not just rush in and out? I will not only take care of the basics of feeding and cleaning the litterbox, I will spend time playing, cuddling, and loving on your cat(s).
In addition to being a cat sitter, I am a Certified Cat Trainer and Behavior Modification Consultant. I specialize in preventing, managing, and modifying challenging behavior in cats. It is my mission to reduce the number of cats that are abandoned or surrendered to shelters because of behavior problems. These problem behaviors can be modified or eliminated, so the cat and its owners can live happily together. I currently work with local rescues and shelters to help their unadoptable cats become loving adoptable cats.
Not only will I feed, water, play, cuddle and scoop your cats litter box, but I can administer medication and water your plants if needed.
Covid Protocol:
I am fully vaccinated and have had all my booster shots. I have no problems with wearing a mask inside your home. I will also wash and sanitize my hands before, during, and after visits to prevent the spread of germs.
If you have any special requests or questions, please let me know.
Learn More About Nanci
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I just adore cats! I love being able to spend time cuddling and playing with them while their owners are away. I thinks this helps cheer them up.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
Yes. I have 3. Max is my 13 year old Siamese Cat. Boots is my 10 month old male Tuxedo kitten. Latte is my 10 month old Calico female kitten. Boots and Latte are brother and sister.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a cat sitter?
Hire someone who has experience with cats. Not just owning them. Previous sitting experience, volunteer shelter work with cats, or certified cat behavior specialist are all good qualification. Most importantly meet with that person first so you can feel secure in your decision to hire them.

Nanci was a joy! She was reassuring during our trip and made sure on the details. Our six cats were loved on and entertained. Our little fur babies warmed up to her immediately. She’s a true “cat mom”! 😻

Nanci was amazing! I'm so grateful she is around! Nanci came through for me and my cat Aya at the very last moment before a week long outing. She sent a bunch of awesome pictures and videos, Nanci you are amazing! Thank you so much!

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.
Rio Rancho cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $24.00. 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 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!
