I have a ton of experience with cats, and have two of my own. I am comfortable administering medications such as insulin injections and oral tablets. I'm comfortable with other pets in the house as well!
Most of my pet sitting gigs have involved overnight stays, so that's definitely an option! However, I am happy to be as flexible as you and your kitties need. I will always treat your space and pets with respect and care.
Learn More About Nika
What is your experience with cat sitting, and how long have you been doing it?
I've been pet sitting for over a decade, mostly for friends and neighbors. Pretty much all of my gigs these days have been through word of mouth, and I have many repeat clients.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I have two kitties of my own. Their names are Annabelle and Gemini! Annabelle is a perfect angel and Gemini is a perfect gremlin.
What is your typical process for working with a new cat parent?
I usually like to come over ahead of time to meet the cat(s) and their humans, have them show me where everything is in the house, and ask about preferences and vet information.

Nika was great! She took care of my cats for a long vacation and the cats and plants were doing great when I got back. Nika even tracked when my cats vomited, which is really helpful to understand given health conderns.

First time user. Easy to check availability and to choose a sitter by experience and distance. Nika checked in on my boy daily and he seemed pretty relaxed when I got home, so it was a good experience for both of us.

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.
Salt Lake City cat sitting rates will vary based on the sitter's experience and services, but the average price is $25.00. 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!
