Cat Sitting in Johnston, RI

*I currently have September 18th & 19th blocked off but have some flexibility in the mornings, so reach out if you need those days and we can see if we can make something work!*

Hello! My name is Nate and I want to thank you for considering me to care for your feline family. I have been catsitting with Meowtel since 2024 and it has been a wonderful experience that keeps getting better and better. Currently, at home we have Turtle and Tuukka, they bring comfort, joy and personality and are quintessential members of our family along with my wife and daughter.

I want to take what I've learned as a cat dad and share it with your cat family...

Hello! My name is Nate and I want to thank you for considering me to care for your feline family. I have been catsitting with Meowtel since 2024 and it has been a wonderful experience that keeps getting better and better. Currently, at home we have Turtle and Tuukka, they bring comfort, joy and personality and are quintessential members of our family along with my wife and daughter.

I want to take what I've learned as a cat dad and share it with your cat family. I love giving cuddles, head scratches, playing, and most of all, talking with cats. And I love, love taking photos/videos to send to cat parents.

Outside of being a cat dad, I am an Administrative Assistant with 10+ years of experience. I believe being an Administrative Assistant also gives me the multi-tasking skills to manage all the needs of your kitty(ies) by following your instructions down to the detail. My schedule allows for morning and night visits every day and lunch time visits most days. Sometimes visits between 10am-4pm can be difficult during the week but I have a flexible schedule and can work with you to provide the visits you need.

I am located in Johnston and willing to travel to other Rhode Island towns and parts of Massachusetts.

Please reach out of you have any more questions.
*Big Human Man is what we like to think the cats in our family call me*

Learn More About Nathan

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

In 2026 I will be celebrating 2 years with Meowtel and I absolutely love it! The cats and the humans I've met so far has been tremendous and a great experience.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

I love giving cat parents the assurance that their family members are being cared for while they are away. I love sending updates and photos to show how their kitty is doing. I also love engaging with cats in the space in which they are comfortable with. I'm the stranger coming into their home and I want to respect their space, their temperament and their comfort level.

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

This is probably an amalgamation of a few different reservations, but it's such a joy to give the shy kitties their space and to see them slowly grow in their trust of me and why I'm there. Some of the best cuddles and pet & purr sessions come from kitties that were at first shy and reclusive.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

We currently have one cat, Turtle, an almost 4-year old rambunctious kitty. We also live my parents and their cat, Tuukka.

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

There is absolutely no shame in telling us cat sitters exactly how you want things done! You trust us to come into your homes and care for your fur babies and we don't take that for granted.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, including Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years.

Nathan was wonderful with our two young male cats! He arrived when he said he would, provided a detailed summary of each visit with lots of pictures and videos, and was super nice about cleaning up one of our cat's Protest Tub Poops (sorry again, Nathan!!!) 5/5 stars, we'd definitely hire him again if he'll take us!

Nate was awesome from start to finish. During our initial meeting, he took notes and asked questions. While I was away, he sent detailed daily updates on meals, activities and included photos of my baby, Charlie. He brought in mail and made sure Charlie had fresh water in his filter and plenty of treats. This was my first time using Meowtel and only the second time in 4 years that I have left my cat for more that 5 days. I like Charlie to stay at home as he is shy and very bonded to me only. I feel confident that Charlie was well cared for and I would definitely reccommend Nate to friends and family.

I can't say enogh about Nathan. He kept my boy Arthur healthy and happy even during the heat wave. His pics and commentary were the best news of the day during a very chaoctic family emergency. Nathan was patient and understanding with both me and my cat. Arthur even brought him his toy mouse and showed his belly all the time. If you need someone to love and care for your cat, Nathan's the one. It was my first time ever using a sitter so I was scared but now ---I will not hesitate. If he's available book him and be confident all will be well for your loved one.

Nathan is so wonderful!! He takes amazing care of our two kitties - including our very shy girl who takes ages to warm up to people. He is very patient and understanding of cat personalities and behavior. He’s also super communicative - he sends thorough updates with great pictures and videos. He even helped care for my garden and watered plants during a heatwave! I’m so grateful for all he does. He makes traveling and leaving my kitties so much less stressful.

Nathan always takes wonderful care of our kitty Nelson, and this time was no exception. Nathan sent plenty of (hilarious!) updates and photos of his adventures with Nelson, which we appreciated, and carefully followed our instructions. Unfortunately, Nelson had a little puke incident while we were gone, which Nathan (1) let us know about prompty, (2) did his best to clean up and (3) also amended his care to try to prevent further episodes. We felt bad about the inconvenience, but Nathan was really nice about it. I worry less about being gone when Nathan is around! 10/10, will continue to book again.

Nate was awesome all around. During our meet and greet, he took good notes, asked thoughtful clarifying questions, and read key details back to us. Before his first visit, we gave him an instruction sheet that he followed carefully. Some things had changed (e.g., our cat was wearing a cone), and he rolled with the punches without any issues. Nate was very consistent, as requested, about what time he visited our cat. He promptly sent full written reports after his visits. We got great pictures and videos during and after visits. We really appreciated the details in the daily updates. Nate also has a very gentle and caring presence. We expected it took take our cat one or two visits before he would let Nate handle him (or the cone he was wearing), but he was very comfortable starting from the first visit. Highly recommend Nate!

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.

Johnston cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $26.00. 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!
