Purr-Fect Care While You're Away

Cat Sitting in Astoria, NY

Hi! I'm Nicole, and I'd love to care for your cat while you're away. I've always believed the best way to connect with cats is to let them set the pace. Some want a playmate, some want a lap to nap on, and some are happiest with quiet company—and I'm happy to meet them where they are.

Hi! I'm Nicole, and I'd love to care for your cat while you're away. I've always believed the best way to connect with cats is to let them set the pace. Some want a playmate, some want a lap to nap on, and some are happiest with quiet company—and I'm happy to meet them where they are.

Outside of cat care, I work as an EMT. I'm naturally attentive, dependable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions. I'll treat your home with respect, keep your cat's routine consistent, and send regular updates so you can enjoy your trip knowing they're in good hands.

Whether your cat is energetic, senior, shy, or somewhere in between, I'll provide the patient, loving care they deserve.

Learn More About Nicole

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

I grew up with cats and have been cat sitting for friends and family for the past three years. Through those experiences, I've cared for cats with a variety of personalities and routines, providing feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, companionship, and plenty of updates for their owners while they're away.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love that every cat is different. Whether it's engaging in playtime, sharing quiet companionship, or simply respecting their space, I enjoy building trust with each cat and making sure they feel safe and comfortable until their family returns.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Not at the moment. 🥺 I grew up with cats and would love to have one of my own again, but unfortunately my current landlord doesn't allow pets. Until then, I enjoy spending time with the cats I care for and giving them the same love and attention I'd give my own.

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

Look for someone who will care for your cat the way you do. Beyond feeding and litter box care, a great cat sitter takes the time to learn your cat's routine, respects their unique personality, and keeps you updated while you're away. Finding someone you trust gives you peace of mind and helps your cat feel safe and comfortable in their own home.

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

I like to start with an introductory message to learn more about you and your cat, including their routine, personality, and any special care instructions. Before the first booking, I offer a complimentary meet and greet so we can get to know each other, answer any questions, and help your cat become familiar with me. During each visit, I'll follow your care instructions closely and send updates with photos so you can feel confident that your cat is happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away.

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

Your cat's safety and your home's security are my top priorities. I carefully follow all care instructions, double-check that doors and windows are secure before leaving, and make sure your cat is safe and accounted for at the end of every visit. I also respect your home as if it were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your cat is doing.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I'm available for many holidays, including popular travel periods. Since holiday bookings tend to fill up quickly, I recommend reaching out as early as possible to reserve your dates.

What is your favorite cat toy?

Honestly, whatever toy makes the cat happiest! Every cat has a favorite, and I enjoy figuring out whether they love chasing, pouncing, or batting things around.

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.

Astoria cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $31.00. 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!
