Cat Sitting in Brooklyn, NY
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 is awesome! She took such great care of my fur babies for over a week while I was overseas, sending detailed daily updates along with photos and videos. Can't recommend her enough.

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 💕

Frequently Asked Questions
Reservations officially begin at 12:00 AM in the sitter's time zone on the start date. Cat Parents may cancel within 24 hours of booking and receive a full refund, as long as the reservation has not yet started. After the first 24 hours, the following cancellation rules apply:
- More than 48 hours before the reservation start date: Full refund. The sitter will not receive any earnings.
- 24–48 hours before the reservation start date: 50% refund. The sitter will earn 50% of their planned earnings.
- Within 24 hours of the reservation start date (or after it has begun): No refund. The sitter will earn 100% of their planned earnings.

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 $29.00. 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!

Nichole came for a meet and greet the day before I was going to be out of town and it put me at ease to know I was leaving my two kittens in the hands of a caring professional. Nichole was very communicative, sent photos/videos, and took great care of the kittens. My cats can be a little shy around strangers but they seemed to warm up to her immediately! I will not hesitate to reach out to her again in the future.

Nichole was my first experience with Meowtel and it turned out fantastic. She initiated a meet and great as soon as i put in my request and asked great questions that gave me confidence in her experience. While I was away, she came on time and I got updates as the pace we discussed. I would feel confident with my cats in her hands anytime.

Nichole was amazing! It was so great to feel like I could take a lengthy trip and not have to worry about my cat's wellbeing. Oliver took to her immediately during the meet and greet. Nichole sent updates during every visit with info on how Oliver was doing, what she had taken care of as far as food/water/litter, and photos of Oliver. So grateful to have found a kind, trustworthy cat sitter--though Oliver definitely missed me less than usual!

Nichole kept our Sienna company while we were gone for over a week and we could not have been happier. We got daily status updates and came home to a happy cat! It was also east to coordinate and communicate with Nichole, which is so important to us when we’re away.
Maggie

My cats love Nichole! She's been sitting them over a year and is the best! Truly a fellow cat lady I can trust to take care of all these kitty weirdos I have. Things happen and she's always very flexible and is there for my babies.
Risa

Nichole went ABOVE AND BEYOND with my scared kitty who needs medication. She is persistent, kind, creative, and communicative. She is truly a cat whisperer who made fast friends with my other (usually) shy kitty as well! I am so grateful to feel confident and calm going away for the weekend (this was my first time since my cat got sick). Thank you!!!
