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!

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!

Frequently Asked Questions

Austin cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and the services they offer, but the average price for a cat sitter is $25.00. Prices will also depend on how long your cat needs company for, whether that be a drop-in visit or overnight stay in your home. Cat sitters on Meowtel offer 20, 45, and 60-minute drop-in visits that allow for fully tailored care for your kitties. Your caregiver may also need to charge a little more if they have to travel far, so you can find the best options which are close by.

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 for your kitties. This is why Meowtel was created, so tailored in-home care is brought to you.

We recommend that you book daily visits with your sitter to keep your cats in their routine and to help minimize feline anxiety while you're away.

Each Meowtel cat sitting visit typically includes the whole 9 yards: feeding, refreshing the water bowls, litter box scooping, tidying up, medications, updates with photos, lots of playtime, as well as any special requests you may have. Every kitty is different and that's why sitters on Meowtel offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, ask your sitter about a free Meet & Greet so you can meet them before you leave to confirm it's a purrfect fit.
