Learn More About Jackie

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

I’ve owned cats for the majority of my life so over 25 years experience and the person all my friends ask when they travel and need a loving, reliable sitter.

What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?

Cats are a very comforting to me and I like knowing I’ll be a fun part of their day with my visits.

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes, I have my family in my area so I don’t travel during the major holidays. This would be my favorite time to sit as I know what a relief it would be to have someone consistent and local while the parents are enjoying their own family time or vacations.

Jackie continues to be a wonderful part of our family. Lily is so comfortable with her and is in great hands when Jackie is taking care of her. The frequent communications and pictures provide such peace of mind when traveling.

Jackie is a true cat whisperer! During the meet and greet, I warned her about how shy the kitties were, and that it normally took several days for them to warm up to our prior cat sitters. I was pleasantly surprised to see pictures the very first night with almost all of our kitties hanging around Jackie! Over our multi-week vacation, Jackie developed such a great bond with our three girls. They often waited for Jackie by the door and looked forward to their daily play and treat visits. Even our extra shy cat who normally hides from literally everyone - Jackie was very patient and within the week, our shy girl stopped hiding and occasionally participated in the playtime. Jackie sent us plenty of pictures and videos to document their daily adventures, and it helped put our minds at ease while we were away and missing our girls. Thank you, Jackie!! 🙏

Jackie did an absolutely phenomenal job. She sends multiple pictures and videos daily allowing me to truly enjoy vacation without having to worry about my furry best friend. She also left a detailed handwritten note explaining how each visit went. I could tell my cat was left in amazing loving hands. 11/10 rating. I could not recommend her any more. If you need to leave your cat for any reason you need to book her as they will be left in amazing loving hands allowing you the peace of mind while away from your feline companion.

Jackie is wonderful. Very responsible and reliable. My Lily is very responsive to Jackie, and seems to be getting more comfortable with each visit. Jackie's pictures and communications while I am away is very reassuring.

Jackie did a superb job with our 3 very unique kitties. I really appreciated the time she took to coax our shy Batman out to play. She made instant friends with our Wyatt by taking the time to brush him and give him the attention he thrives on. Great, timely updates and pics were super. Wonderful cat sitter! I highly recommend Jackie.

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! Jackie was incredibly thoughtful, reliable, and attentive to our cat’s needs. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our cat was not only well cared for, but genuinely loved while we were away. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone they can truly trust with their pets!

Jackie is an angel on earth! This was my first time away from my cat for an extended period of time (~3 weeks), and I was admittedly quite anxious about it because my cat is very shy, a bit co-dependent, and slow to open up to new people. However, Jackie was so communicative throughout the whole trip and ensured that Sunny was secure and healthy every single day! She took pictures and answered all of my questions to ensure I could enjoy my trip without worry. Jackie will be my go-to for future trips - HIGHLY recommend!

Frequently Asked Questions

Costa Mesa cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $32.00. 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.
