I'm Jaclyn
Cat Sitting in Smyrna, GA
All of my cats came with different challenges, behavioral and medical, that required me to learn about cat behavior and health beyond the average cat lover. I have years of experience in administering different types of medications, following special dietary needs, learning nuances of cat behavior, coming up with new cat enrichment, helping with hygiene, and handling emergencies. My best friend is also a small animal veterinarian with her own cat and I have learned so much from her!
I understand the importance of that one special toy, the need for a perfectly clean litter box, or constant access to a cardboard box. We are our cats lives and I know how important it is to provide them with all the comfort, safety, and love possible... I’m the cat mom who lets be real always wants more cats but my girls don’t want more siblings so let me bring the love and care I provide them to yours! I service the Smyrna-Cumberland-East Cobb-West Atlanta area!

Whether your cats are like mine and have a curated environment or not I would love the opportunity to care for them when you need!
What you can expect from me:
-Learning how your cat prefers to be cared for on their terms. Maybe your cat wants endless cuddles or maybe it really just like to hang out in the same room rather than be pet, I get it!
-Following your cats normal routine.
-Always checking in on litter boxes use and cleanliness.
-Adhering to dietary requirements including specialty foods, mixtures of dry and wet, and the use of food puzzles (p.s one of my cats is brilliant when it comes to food and I have been through countless food puzzles at this point)
-Proving play time and enrichment! This may look like playing with their favorite toy, hiding treats to encourage hunting, or filling up the bird feeder. I can also bring over some new toys to try out if you would like them to get some new play time in!
-Taking care of water dishes including filling them up and cleaning them.
-High quality communication with you!
-Caring for your cats as if they’re my own!
-Water plants, collect mail, etc.
You are putting your trust in me to care for your kitties and I deeply appreciate that!
Some extra insight into how I love my cats: my photos are 90% them, I can swap cat stories for days, I craft for them creating new toys or beds, I’m building a expansive cat wall in my home, I’m deeply invested in bringing birds to our yard for them, I’ve harness and leash trained the one that loves to go outside just to eat bugs, the variety of toys and treats is honestly unreal, I always peruse the cat aisle anyway, and the love I share with others shows because I’ve converted my whole family to be cat people!
Thank you for considering me to care for you cats! If you have additional questions or want to discuss your cats needs more in-depth please reach out!
Learn More About Jaclyn
What do you enjoy most about cat sitting?
I enjoy getting to interact with all different cats. I love getting to know all their different personalities and seeing what their favorites are. I especially love the weird quirks a cat might have. But ultimately, the best feeling I can have is when a pet chooses you and knows you are safe. Having a timid cat head bonk you for the first time or having a cat show you its favorite toy - the feeling is closely unmatched in this life.
Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?
I currently have two cats: Weeza and Elphie! They think they’re both different from other girls but they’re both on meds and very picky so is it that different? Weeza is wildly curious but simultaneously anxious which honestly, relatable. She loves food, talks to me all day, demands cuddles with a blanket only, and brings toys as prey every night. Never leave sticks of butter or the plastic wrap from takeout silverware unattended around her. She’s all white, very adorable, and knows it. Elphie has always been a grandma cat who prefers sleep. She is customs in this house and all packages must pass a sniff test. She loves to bird watch and has serious trust issues with the squirrels. She knows her boundaries and only wants pets on her terms which is usually inconvenient. Everyone wants her love since she’s so fluffy but not all can have it.
How do you handle cats that are particularly timid or anxious?
I have many years of practice with timid and anxious cats. What I’ve largely learned is to follow their lead and become someone they know what to expect from. I approach timid and anxious cats slowly and quietly. I do not force myself onto them. I respect their space and let them make their way over to me. I will use some tactics to spark their interest in me. For instance, some cats have a special treat or toy. Or it could be something very random like one of my cats whose kryptonite is the lint roller.

Jaclyn was wonderful with our two cats. One has diabetes and she gave her insulin shots 2x a day without any issues. She communicated great, showed up on time, and cared for our cats well. Can’t ask for anything better! Highly recommend!

Everything went purrfectly. My elderly kitty got his daily oral meds. All tasks accomplished daily. Areas left tidy. Kitties were happy to see me when I returned but seemed calm and contented.

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.
Smyrna 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!
