I'm Nicolette
Cat Sitting in Austin, TX
I have experience with tasks like:... Hi! My name is Nickie. I am a lifetime cat lover and I have two 10 y/o cats at home. I adore spending time with cats of all ages and activity levels, from kitten to senior. I will always be on time and provide the same care for your pet that I would show my own.
I have experience with tasks like: feeding, playtime, grooming, litter box and general pet mess clean up, administering medications, and giving your pet the attention they need (or keeping my distance if they prefer!)
I love sending cute pictures and videos while pet sitting, so expect to receive updates from home!
Meow,
Nickie
Learn More About Nicolette
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I find cats so mysterious and beautiful. I’ve never ever met a cat I didn’t like. From playful kittens to grumpy old guys, cats are my absolute favorite animal.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have 2! Cleo and Clover. They are both gray tabbies, but one is long hair and one is short hair. People can’t believe they are sisters! But they are true litter mates.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I always let a cat take the lead. If they approach me, I will give them my palm to sniff. If they rub against my hand, I’ll give them a scratch behind the ear. Always listen to body language! If a cat is very shy, treats, patience, and calm time in the same room always help :)

I would say my experience was very average, but could have been better. Responsiveness wasn’t there initially, visit times were provided but weren’t followed, and key drop off could’ve been coordinated better. I can say my cats were good but I’m glad it wasn’t a longer trip.

Nicolette was an amazing cat sitter for us while we left out of town for the weekend! She was very attentive and caring towards our two adult cats, ensuring that they were fed, had water, and were doing well. Nicolette was also very responsive and communicated with us throughout the entire time. We look forward to working with her again in the future!

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.
Austin 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 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!

I became friends with Nickie at our local gym. She is the type of person you immediately want to get to know! We bonded right away over the fact that we both have 2 kitties. I'm going out of town this weekend and know that my babies will be in great hands with Nickie; She treats them as her own.

Nickie is trustworthy, reliable, and great with cats. She has two girls of her own and gets along great with my calico. I have known her for seven years and trust her to take good care of my kitty and my home. Even though my cat can be a bit of a diva, Nickie is gentle, friendly, and respects her boundaries, and she has earned her trust. In addition to regular feeding and litter cleanup, she also gives her play time, treats, and fun bird videos. I can’t recommend her enough!
