I'm here with my kitty, Professor (14 years) as well as my roommate's kitty, Zee (3 years). I work in entertainment and hospitality, so my gigs are come and go which means I have a flexible schedule to accommodate your kitties' needs! I grew up in the Midwest with several barn cats living outdoors, many of whom came to live as family pets in my home! I've dealt with all kinds, including blind cats, respiratory issues, and various behaviors of many types. I am a huge animal lover and have always treated my fur babies as a member of my family! I promise to do the same for yours and give you peace of mind when you are traveling for work or vacation. Your pets deserve the best, most loving and professional care! If you have any further questions, feel free to ask.

Learn More About Nichole

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

I've been cat sitting on Meowtel for nearly 3 years! I wanted a flexible side job that I enjoyed doing, and it has been the perfect fit! I care deeply about caring for other people's pets as if they were my own, and that is exactly what I have been doing and will continue to do.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love to meet a variety of cats with different personalities. Whether they are shy and lowkey, bold and playful, or scared and aggressive, I will always look for the best way to give each individual kitty the love they need, on their terms. Cats are complex beings just like humans, we just have to learn how they communicate what their needs are in any given moment. Cat sitting is never boring!

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have a rescue kitty named Professor! We've been together for 11 years! My roommate also has a cat named Z who is a rambunctious 2-year-old.

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

Go with your gut! You want someone who is going to love and care for your kitty as well as you do. Find someone who is passionate about cats and will do everything they can for your fur baby, not just the bare minimum.

Are you usually available during holidays?

I am usually available on most major holidays, however if this is not the case I will always keep my availability calendar as updated as possible!

What is your favorite cat toy?

The Cat Dancer is a very simple, inexpensive toy that I've found most cats LOVE, including my own cat! I've also come to appreciate some of the newer motorized toys, such as the SmartyKat Hot Pursuit Electronic Concealed Motion Cat Toy. Feel free to ask me for more recs!

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

The most important thing is to never be rough or force anything. Be as gentle as possible, allow them to grow their trust with you and reward them for being social with you! Find something they like, whether it be a toy, treat, pets/brushes, or being left alone to look out the window at the birds and engage in that activity alongside them in the same space. Trust takes time!

Nichole was great! She clearly has a ton of experience and knowledge of cats, even giving is a couple of really helpful tips for managing a fast-eater. Unfortunately one of our two cats did not really warm up to her, but it didn’t deter her at all. She did a few overnight visits and took really good care of them. We got photos and an update at each visit. Nichole is very friendly and professional, highly recommend!

Nichole was amazing. It was our first time using Meowtel or any outside service for cat-care and she made us feel above and beyond comfortable with her extensive communication and photos. We came home and our senior cat that can have separation anxiety was calm, happy and had obviously been given the attention and care she needed. Would highly recommend !

Would recommend Nichole to anybody! We felt so relieved knowing that she was there checking in on Carrie Bradpaw while we were away. She was very communicative throughout, sent photos/videos every visit, and even was able to add on extra days when we realized we needed to extend our trip unexpectedly. We could tell our cat felt so comfortable with her 💕

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.

Brooklyn cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $30.00. 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!
