Nicole can care for

Cats

Availability

I’ve worked from home for the past 4 years so I have a lot of flexibility to take care of your pet. With a one-day notice, I’m available to cater to your kitty’s needs for drop-in visits. Whether that’s playing with them, refreshing the litter box, feeding them their wet/dry food, administering medication, or giving them snuggles, I’m available to set aside time throughout my day to do so.

While caring for your pet, I will provide daily updates and pictures to ensure peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet like my own. If I’m caring for your pet, I ensure they feel comfortable and follow their normal routines for feeding and playtime.

Information Nicole S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your cat has any special needs, specific feeding instructions, or if there’s anything you would like me to be aware of beforehand.

A typical day

I love spending quality time with your pets. I know how important it is for cats to have mental stimulation throughout their day, so I’ll spend time playing with your cat with his/her favorite toy and giving them treats/churus.

Loving, Experienced Cat Sitter

Cat care experience

Hi, I’m Nicole! Your cats new best friend :) I’ve been caring for cats for pretty much my whole life! I have experience with all kinds of cat personalities, ranging from 2 month old kittens to senior cats who need more gentle care. I have experience giving injections, as well as oral medication. Friends and family rely on me to look after their pets while they’re away, because they know I treat every cat like my own, with patience, attention, and plenty of affection. Whether your cat loves playtime, needs medication or a fresh litter box, or just wants someone calm and comforting around, I tailor my care to their unique needs. I understand how important it is to leave your pet in good hands (I have 2 kitties myself), and I’m here to give you peace of mind while giving your cat the best care possible. Please feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions.

Nicole is just lovely!! In addition to pet pics, I love that she pictures of the clean litter and refilled food and water every visit. I come home and it is exactly as I left it :)

Nicole did an amazing job watching our cat, Gandalf. She was a great communicator, spent extra time playing on with him on visits, and also went above and beyond by sweeping his litter, which was not something I had requested but greatly appreciated! I would definitely hire Nicole again!
