Learn More About Nicole

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

I have been cat sitting for the last 12 years and still love it so much C: I have administered oral medication and supplements frequently over the years according to the cat parents imstructions and not only feed, replace water and clean litterboxes but have also cleaned pet messes too. I make sure to spend some time playing, petting or simply being present with each cat so they aren't as lonely or sad while their pet parents are gone ❤️

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Getting to know and play with different cats C: i have genuinely loved cats since I can remember and have always had at least one cat in my life at a time. If I could, I'd open my own cat rescue to make sure every cat has a home 🥰❤️

Can you tell us about your favorite cat sitting reservation?

Its hard to pick just one really, but the most recent experience was back in June. There are 2 cats i have watched over the last year, and one of them named Arty is a feral they took in a few years ago. Since the cat is feral, she is fearful of everyone and even still struggle with being social with her own cat parents. Usually when I feed her, I give her space since she's painfully shy and just want to be left alone. The last feeding though she actually approached me as I was giving her the food bowl and it was exciting and moving that they were slowly starting to open up and trust me. Even though we arent at the petting stage yet, I'm happy to slowly get to know Arty and show them that all I want to do is give them love 🥺❤️

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

Yes I do! I have 3 babies named Ichigo(15), Lina (4) and Gourry (4, pronounced "Gow-Ree"). I have raised them since they were kittens, Gourry especially was small at around 5 weeks old, so he needed special care ❤️

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

Be sure to give detailed instructions on their feeding amount and schedule, any allergies they may have, what kind of attention they may or may not like and have lots of treats and cat safe toys on hand to ensure the sitter and your kitty will become fast friends 👌

Are you usually available during holidays?

It depends on my plans, but if ill be in town I will do my best to be available ❤️

What is your favorite cat toy?

A wand with a string attached is always a cat favorite! They also like cat springs and with little wand toys with crinkle strings attached 😊

How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?

I like to give them space and if they'll approach me eventually, give them kitty treats and try to play with them to help establish a relationship with the cat. Sometimes just being bear the cat while doing your own thing is the best way to help them start opening up to you though 🥰❤️

Nicole has catsit for me multiple times through the years! She's always be very attentive of my kitty, Roach, and will often send updates and pics of her spending time with Roach. Everytime I've hired Nicole to watch Roach, she's been very respectful of my home. She's my go-to whenever I need a petsitter!

Frequently Asked Questions

Dumfries cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $23.00. 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. Meowtel sitters 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 we'll match you with the best options which are close by.

Every Meowtel cat sitter has been thoroughly vetted, background-checked, and is insured through Meowtel on eligible reservations via our Meowtel Promise. To ensure total peace of mind while you're away, every Meowtel reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you (and your kitties!) can have full confidence in 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 will include 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. We know every kitty is different and that's why we offer tailored, in-home services since cats don't do well outside their own homes. Plus, every reservation comes with a free Meet & Greet so you can meet your sitter before you leave to ensure it will be a purrfect fit.
