Pet care experience
Reliable care for your kitty! ❤️
Hi there! I'm Nicole. I've cared for cats since I was 7 years old, and it's one of my earliest memories! Over the years, family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and even my boss have trusted me to care for their beloved pets while they're away. 😊 Spending time with cats is something I truly enjoy, and my goal is always to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home. As a fellow cat parent, I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are in good hands, and I strive to provide the same level of care and attention that I would want for my own cats. I have experience with cats of all ages and personalities, including shy cats, senior cats, cats with special dietary needs, and cats requiring medication. I've administered daily pills, used inhalers, and have even managed emergency situations involving an elderly cat while their family was out of town. My philosophy is simple: every cat is unique and deserves patient, compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. Whether your cat wants playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm and reassuring presence, I'm happy to provide the care that helps them feel most comfortable. My goal is for both you and your cat to feel completely at ease while you're apart. ❤️

Ratings and reviews
Nicole was my go-to person for watching my 10 year old rat terrier/Italian greyhound mix! She handled food and walks when I was working long hours. She did great and my dog Chickpea loved her. She was one of the select few people Chickpea was excited to see! Even my neighbors noticed and hired her to check on their cats! Highly recommended!
Nikki is the most attentive, rule following pet sitter. She is the only person I trust to follow all the instructions and go above and beyond for my pets when I’m gone. Doesn’t matter if it’s dogs or cats who have dietary needs and medications or exotic animals like rabbits, she’s always so sweet to them and goes the extra mile to make sure they’re happy and not lonely.
Nicole Cash worked for us full-time for seven years, and in that time we trusted her with everything that mattered most to us: our pets, our home, and our business. We first connected with Nicole through her father, whom we knew through our business — he thought she'd be a great fit, and he was absolutely right. Our work involved coordinating with clients across North America and Japan, so when we traveled, we needed someone who could keep things running smoothly without us, and Nicole always did. We had four cats, including Thomas, who required daily medication for an autoimmune skin condition. Nicole managed his care without fail, and when he had an emergency one night, she didn't hesitate — she got him to the vet right away and kept us informed the whole time. That kind of calm, quick thinking under pressure is exactly what you want from someone caring for your animals. Beyond the cats, Nicole kept our home and a houseful of indoor and outdoor plants thriving, and looked after business matters while we were away. We always came home to happy, relaxed cats — though honestly, they may have been a little disappointed to see us back! Nicole became very dear to our family over those years, and we recommend her without reservation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, capable, and genuinely caring.
Whenever I have to consider someone to take care of my cats, the first person who comes to mind is Nicole. She is a close friend of mine and has 3 cats of her own that she cares deeply for and provides them everything they need, and their wellbeing has always come first. Whenever my cats have been in her care, she would catch onto their preferences very quickly and they were so comfortable in her presence. Even as a guest in my home, without any hesitation she will offer to feed them, play with them, and even clean their litter box. She is truly the most caring person I've had the pleasure of knowing, and her love, patience, and understanding for animals is incredibly strong.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
I work from home as a freelance illustrator, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I'm happy to visit your home as often as needed throughout the day and evening to make sure your cat receives the care, attention, and companionship they deserve. Whether your cat needs a quick check-in, medication, feeding, playtime, or extra visits while you're away, I'm happy to accommodate their individual needs whenever possible. 😊
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
Your cat's safety, comfort, and well-being is my top priority. I understand that inviting someone into your home requires a great deal of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. During each visit, I'll carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and any special care your cat may need. I believe cats feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I do my best to maintain their normal routine while you're away. Whether your cat is outgoing and playful or shy and prefers their space, I'll respect their boundaries and provide care at their pace. I'll also keep an eye out for any changes in behavior, appetite, or health and will communicate any concerns promptly. You can expect regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. ❤️

A typical day
A typical visit with your kitty starts with a calm, friendly hello! I'll first take a moment to check in on how they're doing, making sure they're acting normally and looking for any signs of stress or anything out of the ordinary. Next, I'll follow any specific instructions you have for me, and refresh their food and water as needed, making sure they have plenty of fresh water and that everything is clean. I'll also scoop and tidy the litter box to keep their space comfortable and fresh. Once all the essentials are taken care of, it's time for the fun part! Whether your cat loves chasing toys, getting brushed, receiving treats (if approved), or simply curling up for some quiet company and cuddles, I'll follow their lead. Every cat has their own unique personality, and I always adjust my visits to what makes them feel the happiest and most comfortable. My goal is to keep your cat's routine as consistent and stress-free as possible, so you can have peace of mind knowing they're receiving loving, dependable care while you're away. 😊
