Learn More About Jackie

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

I started catsitting for neighbors and friends about 10 years ago and have been doing it professionally for about 5 years. I have been a volunteer at a local animal shelter since 2021 and working with the cats there has helped me learn so much more. I have been able to learn a lot about cat behavior, body language and reading their cues which has become so helpful as a cat sitter. I am now the shelters Feline Manager so work very closely with all of the cats and the volunteer cat team.

Do you have kitties yourself? What are their names?

I have 4 cats myself. My oldest is 9 and her name is Harley. I adopted her about 5 years ago and she is the sweetest snuggle bug. I also have Peachy (4 years old) who I adopted in 2022. He is a big goofball who loves to play, snuggle and eat. Bonks is about 2 years old and adopted in 2023. She a bit shy, but once she gets comfortable she so snuggly and loves to play and wrestle with her brother Peachy. Last but not least is Jormi (7). My boyfriend adopted him as a kitten and he is such a silly and playful boy. We recently moved in together and Jormi was Introduced to my trio. The boys get along great and love to wrestle. He and the girls coexist peacefully (most of the time 🤣)

Are you usually available during holidays?

Yes! I am usually available during holidays. I love spending the holidays cat sitting. I am usually very busy during the holidays so definitely a good idea to book early 😉😻

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

With timid or anxious cats, I always like to take things slow and at the kitties pace. If a cat doesn’t seem like they wants to be approached, I’ll let them be. I never want to scare or push a cat who doesn’t want to interact. I find that sitting down on the floor is less intimidating and I always make sure a cat has a clear path to walk away if they choose. If a shy kitty approaches me I always start by letting them sniff my finger. One of my favorite things is when a shy kitty is able to trust/warm up to me, but I will never expect this from a cat and always respect their boundaries!

Jackie went above and beyond sending us photos, videos and reports of her visits. She did a wonderful job building trust with our cat and making him comfortable and happy to the point that our cat started snuggling with Jackie ❤️! We are super happy to find Jackie and will definitely go back to her again in the future.

Shauna

FANTASTIC!!! On a scale of 1 to 5, Jackie was a Perfect 10. Every visit, she sent me photos and video clips of Nacho (my kitty), who clearly adored her--the photos showed him totally relaxed on Jackie's lap, snoozing, grooming, or "making biscuits," leaning into all of Jackie's petting, and purring like a maniac :), or running around playing, batting his toys all over the place. Along with the photos & videos, Jackie provided quick updates on how the visit went. I could relax during my trip, knowing that Jackie was taking such good care of Nacho--really engaging with him. Plus, on her last visit, Jackie left an overall "Report Card" covering important measures like his eating, drinking & litterbox habits, mood & playtime. I'm already booking her to care for Nacho during my next trip!

I am so happy I found Jackie! For almost a week she was taking really good care of my cat Shiv🐱. Shiv is shy with new people and is a scaredy kitty overall, but Jackie was able to pet her on the very first day! It was such a relief to see my shy cat warm up to Jackie and cuddle with her😍🥹😍 Jackie followed all our instructions precisely and shared live updates with photo/video which was very sweet. One day Shiv had a medical emergency and Jackie handled it so well! I felt like I could trust Jackie and I hope we can work with her in the future!

Jackie has watched our two cats twice (with more visits to come!) and we can safely say the anxiety of leaving has completely gone away. our babies need medicine and unfortunately a lot of things ‘checked off’ and Jackie always succeeds. she is super responsive and helpful and has even gotten our cat, who is known to be aloof, to start warming up to her. we are really grateful to have found someone we trust to take care of our babies and be in our home.

Jackie is an exceptional sitter. When we had our meet and greet, our shy kitty went up to her to say hi! During our time away, Jackie sent daily text updates and lots of cute pics of our cats. When we got back, we were so surprised to find that she had taken the time to write up a “report card” for them and left them with a few new toys! Jackie is an exceptional sitter and we will be using her again for future trips!

Jackie was so good with our fearful kitties! She never once tried to pet them, and after a few days they were brave enough to come out and be in her vicinity. they were well taken care of (although they still didn't want any humans near them) - we came home to a clean house and well fed kitties 😻. If your kitties have behavioral needs, Jackie's the one to call!

Jackie was very patient with my shy girl and by the midway mark of my trip she managed to earn my baby’s trust! I was super happy since my girl has not come out of hiding or let anyone pet her but me. I also appreciated that I expressed that was worried early in my trip that my automatic feeder was not going off for some reason and Jackie made the effort to come by at the scheduled meal time to check if it went off properly. I didn’t ask her to do that (I was going to monitor on the cat cam myself) but I appreciated the extra help!

Jackie was a puuuuufection! I didn’t have to worry about a thing, which was extremely helpful for me as I was on a work trip with tons of other things to worry about. When my one cat that is a little shy starts seeking ear scratches and the other less shy one goes so far as to seek out belly rubs, that’s all you need to know about how fantastically well Jackie took care of my two kitties. The kitties are unbiased, and only go to these lengths when they are receiving excellent care! Bravo Jackie!

Jackie is absolutely amazing! She gives Minnie her inhaler medication with ease and spends a lot of time loving and snuggling her. I always get an update during each visit with a photo too! I would 100% recommend her to everyone!

We have used Jackie for a second time now and we absolutely love her. She provides great communication and updates and I don’t have to worry about my senior Kitty while we’re gone. ❤️

Jackie met all of our expectations and then some! We have a senior Kitty who needs meds and is pretty finicky/needy and he has found a new friend in Jackie. Jackie is very easy to work with and communicates very well and very responsive. We definitely will be using her services again.

Jackie is everything we were hoping for in a cat sitter: communicative, friendly, reliable, easygoing, and flexible. Every day we received a short video and update on our cat Mochi, and she even elected to brush Mochi a few times. It was a weight off our mind to have Jackie making her daily visits.

Jackie did a fantastic job keeping Miso (my kitten) company, playing with him, cuddling with him... And she was easy and quick to communicate with throughout the process. Definitely would recommend her to anyone with a lil floofball of their own!

Frequently Asked Questions

Somerville cat sitting rates will vary based on the pet sitter's experience and expertise, but the average price for a cat sitter is $30.00. 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.
